<They’re hiding

somewhere...

in the dark recesses of my mind

in the very walls of my heart

they are there

hiding…

those very words

that will catapult me

over and above the bar

of Mediocrity

and into the Sublime

that wonderful concoction of words

that will intoxicate the mind

that will be repeated one day

and be committed to memory

and breathed out in awe

But…….

I can’t find them

the echoes of their hushed whispers

call out to me

begging me…

to keep searching

until I find

the words

those very words….

that will make me

Immortal!>

This was one of my earliest writes. It got sixty views...and one comment from Carol Sunshine Brown...Bless her heart. I wonder...will it do better now or is it really not that good a poem...Only time will tell! ;)

Above your name up there is a tweet button. I pressed that yesterday, as indicated, and since then your read numbers are nearly 200 (197, just now). I didn't look at the numbers before I tweeted, but I hope these numbers have something to do with me. Enjoy the day.

It seems to me you always manage to find the words in whatever you write my little Desert Orchid, there is nothing mediocre in your work, I hope you find what you seek. Take care, Richard

I know that there are words in my body consciousness that exist to speak the past and to exhalt the future; sometimes it feels like they play "hide & seek" with me. Words are truly life makers. Your write reminds me of these realities Eileen. I wonder what ypur special words are, poetry hatching into immortality. J.A.B.

Eileen Manassian

To speak the past and exalt the future...captivating. Yes, they play hide and seek with me too. Poetry hatching into immortality....LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY, Justin. Thanks ever so much for bringing me confidence and joy!

Yes, I still doubt myself....Yes, I AM a silly girl! Thanks for remind me of that. ;) Any cure for silliness???? Tell me when you come up with something and till then, I will be grateful for my uncommon talent. Thanks, Roger.

I read your previous poem and didn't have the strength left to comment SO, I pulled myself together and decided to comment on this one...I got a feeling this time you'll get more than sixty views... and yes, Carol is a true treasure is she not? She was also the first to wecome me to PS. I sure do miss her...

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/5/2014 9:26:00 AM

I'm glad your strength came back to you.... ;) I have surpassed sixty. Has she gone? Oh...that's sad. I wonder why. I thought I saw a comment on a blog or something from her a while back. Thanks for visiting, my dear.

Wishing to become immortal is the first step to immortality! Your desire to use those words slumbering in the depths of your soul will bring them to the surface of your conscious very soon for they are there, as you say! Be patient dear Eileen, as the green orange that waits for the time its final color to achieve! A poet's burning desire your poem is waiting to burst into the flames of creative verse!

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/5/2014 9:35:00 AM

Wake them up, Demetri...they are slumbering too long! ;) Patience has never been my strong point, but I will try, my dear. I can't wait to feel the flames. Thanks for your lovely visit. Much appreciated. Filakia....

Hi Eileen: iI can certainly relate. You are always on the verge of expressing something deep but you hit a road block. (figuratively speaking). But at least you could express what you can't express (ha ha) Good Write. The oldies are the goodies

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/5/2014 9:31:00 AM

I know...it is so frustrating! Especially when you think those worlds will just....light up the universe. Oh...so I found my words, did I? Well, thanks ever so much! If it lit up a few hearts and minds here...that's wonderful. Yes...I do like the oldies too....Thanks for stopping by.

I think this is beautiful my sweet...a profound write...and who knows just what words we write..any of our words, may outlive us...touch someone...and be passed on and be remembered...maybe they already have....many of your words have touched me

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/5/2014 9:37:00 AM

Oh, touched your heart, have I? What more could I ask for? I love you MD....Hope you are having a good day. LOVELY avatar....Hugs

Don't think it will go much higher........I guess this isn't an amazing write....Never mind....We do what we can....thanks for the encouragement, Rick

I think it's a well crafted write Eileen..Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Ken. One of the older pieces that didn't get much attention. I'm glad you like it.

I think all artists feel this way [and poetry is an art ;)] That constant revisiting of a line or a phrase though I believe must be instilled at a very early age. The lines my mother gave me she recited to me between birth & five years old, by the time my sister was born she had no more poetry in her. Your Verse above would present better with a different page layout. TRy centering it & giving a line break after HIDING/BUT/& WORDS

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/3/2014 8:52:00 AM

Thanks, Debbie...will take into consideration. Hugs

and don't capitalize the first word in the line, see how that looks and reads. Light & Love

It is beyond good and I add my name to your list of admirers. I can however relate to the lost verses, I sometimes wonder if all that I have written will one day be lost yet I am powerless but to continue to write.

Eileen Manassian
Date: 3/5/2014 9:40:00 AM

I thought you were on that list long time ago. Have I missed something? You have a book out, Richard. I've gifted it to another generation...Already...your words are living on...and will NEVER be lost. Keep writing, my dear.
