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

By Words and Thought

day's end brings with it a silence that most nights remains broken only by words much like poetry and thought. into that lull I draw forth tableaux of times perhaps best left adrift on the troubled waters of auld lang syne. how viciously wounding though, the refusal of recollection, for at least in memory I can cherish you as once I did. and the inquietude of vast longing, frustration at time's lethargic pace, knows the kindest, though briefest, of stays.
