Poetry is within you ...

Poetry, not just words, but a state of mind
Are we aware of this self expression
To paper through pen our thought we bind
Are we just seeking to make an impression?
Or letting loose our imagination ...

Poetry, not just words, but a deep feeling
Do we know that it comes from the heart?
Carefully chosen words, rife with meaning
Its important even before you start ...
to let loose your imagination!

Poetry, not just words, but a message
Of what we want everyone to know
creative words, whose meaning we envisage
to the poets' mind we must go
to merge yours with their imagination.

Poetry, not just words, but life itself
with a force to uplift and enlighten
to give hope for others and yourself
for the days you seek to brighten

take your pen now, merge your heart and mind
and bring forth your feelings and thoughts
Remember, its not just words
but POETRY!

Must I Choose?

I am torn, conflicted between one who is beside me and one that should be, I cannot decide. She is my anchor, speaks the words that comfort my heart. The other teases me, a fun loving heart they both make a perfect woman. But I must decide. Must I choose? She bats her eyes and I die, the other winks and my knees give way. Must I choose? She makes my heart faint with longing, The other cherishes me beyond what I can imagine, they both fill my heart with joy. If I part with her, I will die. If the other leaves me, my soul will be robbed of light. Must I decide? They both are the perfect woman. ~ Pandit. And so continues the emotional binge. Image: Diver From Beneath by Petr Kratochvil

La Morena and her... Negroe

by Jerome Hambrick I could have used your company last night Could have talked or had a tongue and kitty fight And no, I'm not all right Until you come over and fix my plight Had a most stressing day And was looking towards some one on one word play Your presence is enough for me I drink you in and perspire glee I remove you from your pedestal And return you back... your love gently bruised No matter the path I find beneath my feet I sense you just over my shoulder hovering, lovingly I enclosed you in our love knowing your fear of small places That defenseless look... could almost taste it And I know it's sick but seeing you that way turns me on But understand my illness will do you no harm My nature rages to overwhelm and break right through But I would turn tide on myself before it turned on you Because you loved me and you knew I wasn't right And for that I'd kiss your feet or risk my life You see the world needs more people like you...
