Poets Agony
My response to Rhetts poem POETS BLOOD
This was created as I observed another poet trying
to create and the struggle the pain and anguish
as I see this unfold before me so hard forme to understand - as I just stream
The tears I cry are as ink on the paper that waits for
my first mark that continues into a river of words
my feelings flow endlessly each word chosen -
caressed so tenderly - is my life's blood
Visions appear as I write always - some so dark sobeckoning some so bright so blinding some solonging - full of love - pain the anguishforetold
Vulnerable tortured souls are we each breath we
take we are sore struck we have no choice it
has to be done our life we pour out onto
that blank page before us lay -
waiting
The page should turn red with our
life’s blood that pours out from
our lifeless soul
We who souls cry out to be heardagainst many deafened earsagainst hearts that areclosed eyes so blindand cannot see ofthe heartacheinside ofme
Rhett - have you read my poem Agony of a Poet
Sorry Rhett - It is your fault. As I read you poem my poem above became alive in response. Electric blue so blue
