Best On Writing And Wordsfear Poems


You and I

You try to fly 
I live to write
Together we form a holy union
 Can you Feel the words moving through?
Moving from tip to tip
End to end
They branch out into a wing span
Try to take flight off of novel ideas
Discovering true novelty lies just out of reach
Floating in the sky amongst a sea of predecessors
So Unlike you and I 

Shakespeare, Poe, Bradstreet
Floating oh so high
Floating oh so high
And so you try to fly 
Attempt to take off
But stand frozen still instead
Wings dampened by the fear of falling
The fear of failing to bear the weight of history

Echoing from the sky
They call to me
Tell me I am home
(whispering)You my dear are a writer
Inspired by the bard but unique,
Creative, original

Be not afraid to take flight 
Into the dark of the night
Though your fears try to fill you with woe
For you may discover
A poet like no other 
A poet with time to grow

And together you and I form a holy union 
Together we not only fly
We soar

The Beginning

I bring you into a land 
Where only mad men reside
In this land even the purest things bring about ruin
Even the truth becomes distorted by lies
As you walk past the cold stone walls
Notice that to your left is the dying
And on your right you will find the dead
These are not real men as you might think
But only memories of the best kind
Which decay in this dark chamber
Look now upon the sun that shines like blood
In a sky that is never blue
And feel now the wind that blows hot
This is the truth as true as it can be told
Which is as true as the wall will allow
Look far within and understand my words
For they are true of us all
Yet some will oppose this for fear of their unveiling
Others will wholly agree
And it is this that you are truly free
Let only those stay who believe the words I speak
For the others are nothing but cowards
And only the bravest are allowed on this journey
For it is a journey of great length
And not all that begin are sure to find the center
Because of fear that what they see is far more true than I say
Now let us begin the journey of which I speak
It is a journey into the heart soul and mind
