The Poet and the Poem

I am certain one cannot separate the poem from the poet...no such alchemy existing; not by fusion nor by fission, can the two be parted – sort of like, the death of a beloved other, heaven never to know peace till the pair once again united – For the poet pens with the hand but writes with his heart; his soul the essence of his lyrics; his spirit his source-library. Each composition an inner page, from a greater work authored and bound with his God.

We are our own voice. Our poetry I believe also stems from one another. No man is an island--John Dunn ~Thank you for your poem!

Our own voice, while that of the all. Separation is an illusion of consciousness. We are one in the greater body of creation -- the Body of God to be precise. Joe. Thank you, Anaya.

Hello Joe DiMino, I agree with you. Poets do create poetry from their hearts. Poets and poetess create poetry from their hearts. Enjoy your day my friend.

Yes you are right... some pretend that it is fiction, but on so many times is it?

One can't hide in poetry -- on some level of consciousness, what we write is totally revealing. Blessings my friend. I've been thrilled by your visits today. Thank you.
