Carl Fraser Poet Rhyme

The Call

Its two a.m. 
and here i am
Theres a reason i have risen
The gift has beckoned 
And now im reckoned
To be hours in this prison
By candles light 
I begin to write
All thats in my soul
Deep words flow out
There is no doubt
Its not me who has control
Pen hits page
In poetic rage
As sweat beads on my brow
A message is born 
In some strange form
Not my own i must avow
When morning comes 
And my pen is done
And my mind is feeling spent
I re-read from start
What this gift imparts
And weep over the message sent.

Poet Destroyer A December 27, 2013 at 3:51 PM Carl, Wow. What can I say but Most inspired! What I like more is that your mind is getting heavy and your ink lately has been a beautiful shade of deep sadness. Something in this write tells me you want to make sure the call and the message is received. It takes a few steps to reach the heaven inside, keep writing and reaching.... you are Awesome ..xox...LINDA Carl Fraser December 27, 2013 at 10:57 PM Thank you kind lady, guess im kind of a mood writer, like those old mood rings that changed shades with your mood, i change shades as well, thanks so much for reading Linda, i truly respect your comments, hugs and blessings,Carl
