Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

Words of the Writer

Wondering how can I become 
so infatuated
With someone's words leaving 
me intoxicated
Happy their words, and my path 
had finally crossed
Words read with poetic passion 
that I could get lost

Allowing those words to caress 
me like a sin
As I let them seduce me while 
they pull me in
Then I'm inside each of those
song like verses
With all the words very reality, 
being so diverse

They hold so much meaning 
being so heartfelt
See they open in me rapture I've 
never before felt
I feel in those words the love he 
longing tries to convey 
While leaving me speechless,I 
mean what can i say

And when I'm released from 
their strong pull
I wonder did the words hold me 
mind, body, and soul
I wonder this as I grasp the book 
of words tighter 
Was it the words themself or 
was it the "Writer"

Ann Foster November 26, 2019 at 9:07 AM This was great. Ann Brenda Chiri November 26, 2019 at 9:15 AM Thank you Ann!;)

John Hamilton November 25, 2019 at 4:46 PM Nicely done, interesting question Brenda, it's curious because a poet can write anything but is it a reflection of who he is? Definitely perplexing but I would lean to them being one and the same! Brenda Chiri November 25, 2019 at 8:03 PM I think it's a mixture really John! We all write from what we feel or know so it's a combination of both! Thank you!;)

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 25, 2019 at 11:28 AM Such an enchanting dilemma, Bre. This sumptuous offering is sensuous food for thought. Magnifique PSoup dish.

Jennifer Proxenos November 25, 2019 at 7:35 AM What came first the chicken or the egg, the words and the writer are so interlocked, they cannot be separated I would say - talented creations by a talented poet. Beautiful write. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Brenda Chiri November 25, 2019 at 9:57 AM True true! You are probably right!lol thanks for the visit!;)

Gershon Wolf November 24, 2019 at 5:35 PM It's not the song; It's the singer. It's not the panting; it's the painter… Seems to me they're inextricably intertwined---but without the product, the producer's toast... Thanks, Brenda. Great food for thought here! :) gw Brenda Chiri November 24, 2019 at 7:51 PM Lol Gershon thank you so much! So the singer not the song? But if the song was no good how do I know if it's so? Lol! Thanks again my friend;)
