Sometimes

sometimes i long to be a thought tucked inside a poet's mind pressed against their heart sometimes i long to be a word rolled across a poet's lips spoken as they read sometimes i long to be the ink flowing in the tremble of a poet's hand pressing down on blank sheets sometimes i want to be a poem a masterpiece conjured in a mind and just linger in an afterthought sometimes i want to be the poet just to be anything but me

This is very clever wanting to experience the life of a poem, from a poems point of view, where do you find these intriguing concepts? I think you are definitely a poet!

Now how did I miss this one? My friend, I love this but that final line tugs at the heart. But I can say with some surety that you have been all of these things at one time or the other with the exception of a poet, you are that all of the time. That is who you are. Always be you. The creativity in this is amazing.

Thank you my friend...poems are created from imagination, or inspiration, much like a artist's painting...sometimes it would be cool to just escape life and live momentarily in a poem, or painting...my thoughts anyway... :) hugs

Thank you so much my friend, sometimes through poetry we can escape any mood or weather and live in the moments of other's words, or our own for the moment... hugs :)
