Story Pin-bilde

- The Pensive Poet -


                - The thought behind a poem is the inside of the feeling
                - it shows the direction - // by poet

                  I am a thoughtful poet
                  who offers you a dream journey
                  where fantasy becomes almost reality

                 That's where it starts
                 via our senses,
                 in intersubjective moments of sharing

                 One must be willing to visit one's own inner self
                 the challenge may feel intense
                 but deserves to be protected

                 If my words send shivers
                 from your right temple,
                 past your ear and down your neck
                 Provide me external and internal motivation

To create something that moves the reader is what permeates within the Pensive poet.❤️
