Anil Deo Poet Free verse

Not Quite Finished

I
A poem is struggling within
Finished and unfinished, a thin
Line of demarcation. I mark your words
They germinate, but like swords
Diction bears contradictions in wombs
Some do good, some usher us to tombs

II
So, it's not love or hate, not that mix
I'm struggling to let it out, find a fix
For what ails my soul. My heart happy
My will, patience strong, streets unhappy
The environment - a topic for another day -
Is it my conscience, aesthetic sense & sway
That irk me, as evening & sunset beckon
Yet your words like 'silence' & waves & skies beckon
If I write of True Peace, true coexistence, His creation
Will I abort the poem, or meaning, deLiGHTful Imagination

Joseph P. DiMino April 8, 2022 at 10:31 AM "My heart happy My will, patience strong, streets unhappy The environment - a topic for another day - " For sure...in the world but not of it. True, anything we write or say, cannot compare to God's perfect effulgence. That is why He wants us to write, to live, our baby steps to Him. Anything not worked for is of no value. Working is a process of creation. It is the idea willed into possession by feeling desire. Desire is only wrong when it is not guided by pure love. Great poem! My guessing. Anil Deo April 8, 2022 at 11:13 AM ThanX so much. I am blessed by such thoughtful responses to my struggle to express my artistic/ poetic side. Shalom shalom father DeMino
