Poetry, Lost In My Thoughts

Poetry Thoughts

I write my poems in a deep thought
with the pain my life dearly bought
Lost, listening to a vanishing muse
this world's whispers I often use!

Words given by ancient gnarly trees
echoes embraced from tumbling seas
Sounds of silence in forested glen
far away from greed and wiles of men

Cry from distant stars or cold stone
shadows dancing by moonlight shown
Fleeting grabs at moments of serenity
promising future gift of infinity

I am giant tree reaching to the sky
spreading my limbs out and so high
Mirror of Life's fantastic desires
a creature cast from heavenly fires

I write my poems in a deep thought
with the pain my life dearly bought
Lost, listening to a vanishing muse
this world's whispers I often use!

Imagination brings sweet words to ink
volleys from ship impossible to sink
Heart beaten into indestructible bell
Sounding red rose, eating its smell

I am a river, flooding poetic page
servant of Nature, slave to my sage
Erupting volcano spewing heated ash
darkness that dares to live to smash

The great joy of seeing a newborn son
elation of finishing a marathon run
Memories of dancing in pouring rain
blessing of finding lost love again

I write my poems in a deep thought
with the pain my life dearly bought
Lost, listening to a vanishing muse
this world's whispers I often use!

Poem is not written for any contest. I'd not change any of it to fit requirements were they not compatible to it as it is written. I have no poems in contests now..I am rather jaded on contests for the time being.. However always enjoy yours whether I take part in the contest or not.

This one I wrote in my private journal yesterday morn. On a whim , a command from muse I presented it here. I've never done that before , presented a new write from my journal. However, my muse is a mean and stubborn vixen that abuses me until I obey her. Glad somebody liked it.. I wrote it with my son and daughter in mind, so they'd know after I am gone.
