it's a frail and pointless thing
to ask
where
my poetry comes from.
a blissful silence shatters
deep inside me
as the words come gushing
out
holding wisdom like the
fountain of youth
i live quiet in T.S. Elliot's
WASTELAND
until a
HOWL
like Allen Ginsberg
rips through me...
and only in a poets dream
could the words
ring
"true..."
a swelling river to avert my senses
to focus on a
(galactical combat boot-legged
vision of aristocracy)
i envision worlds colliding,
i hear the voices
of a thousand poets
slamming with a grace replacing
the faces of days wasted
on time.
and a poem is not
words from the mind,
it is emotion, commotion,
feelings from deep,
(from a soul like seeds in the soil,
a poem blossoms into the soft petals - or sharp thorns -
of a red-red rose that rises)
i've seen enough
i've heard enough
i've felt enough
i've understood...
i'm known enough...
i've had my share
my fill
of turmoils and triumphs,
of sadness and joy
of pleasure and pain
of loss and...
i've gained enough to be
satisfied with my words...
to ask
where
my poetry comes from.
