Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Mud

I roll upon the wet ground
Wallowing in the mud
Painted in brown
Every part of me covered
Except two blue eyes

Liquified
Revitalized
Laughing
Adult child
Connected to my wild
I throw the mud in the air
I am here no longer there
I'm dancing
In my underwear 

I don't care
What others think
I allow my pores to drink
Into the Earth I sink
As I emerge
I am reborn
Calming of
Internal storm

You look at me
What do you see
Am I out of my mind
Have I come unglued
Do I confuse you

Come here with me
I feel so free
Take my hand
Embrace this man
Come wallow 
Dance 
Play with me
Feel what it is
To be free
Connected to the Earth
Let me witness
Your rebirth

Monterey Sirak August 11, 2013 at 6:04 AM Love it! I am always barefoot, unless am required to wear shoes. I love splashing in puddles and squishing in mud. Richard Lamoureux August 11, 2013 at 7:08 AM Me as well although I can't remember the last time I did that.

Kim Van Breda August 2, 2013 at 10:31 AM Oh Yeah... just letting go is so perfectly depicted in this poem. Reminds me of my childhood.. We actually made and ate 'mud cakes', earthworms and all !! Richard Lamoureux August 2, 2013 at 10:34 AM Ummm Yummy! You must have had a much better quality of mud in your parts! *lol*

Poet Tacito August 2, 2013 at 10:23 AM This is my mud wrestling is such a rush! You laced the meaning within & in between the lines very strongly. Embrace the incipience. Richard Lamoureux August 2, 2013 at 10:24 AM What is incipience?? thanks for the comment Drake.
