Seeing
When I see things
Do I know what I see?
When thought hurls fling
Do I feel free?
Seeing not knowing,
Looking not seeing;
Do I look to see?
Do I see to be?
Looking not knowing,
Seeing not looking;
Do I see to look?
Where's my look book?
I read more books,
Do I change looks?
Knowing not feeling,
Thinking not knowing.
I question questions,
I ignite tension;
Mad loose cannon,
Blind in a canyon!
I take a peek,
I con and cheat;
I sneak and seek,
I choke defeat.
Curious I look,
Curious I see;
Discard vain books,
Now learn to be.
Curiosity kills,
Vanity styles;
Swallow some pills,
Watch cynic smile.
Weird this madman,
Wild as a fire;
Crazy poet tends,
Fancy words sire.
I say something
Because I create;
Wordplay I fling,
Watch soul sublimate.
Day after day,
I write my lines;
And if I may,
Make beauty mine.
