Poetry Thoughts

Poetry Thoughts

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

Edlynn Nau May 2, 2016 at 2:00 PM It seems to me that those that write poetry MUST. Our true gift is twofold: (1) We are able to step outside the moment, observe and take note, (2) we SAVOR what we see! Thank you for the pleasure of sharing both of these with us Robert!

The Grahamburglar May 2, 2016 at 12:08 AM Hey Robert, I thought I'd drop by and check out what you've been up to. This was a treat, to find. I really enjoy contemplative, and metaphorical. This write was rich in both. Thanks for sharing your talent, and best of luck in the contest. -G
