It's a fire,
or a war,
it's a crane,
an old lore,
It's a poem
or a story,
something stolen
in a hurry.

It's a song,
it's a light,
is it wrong?
Is it right?

It's in my mind,
it's in my life.
Something to find,
something to slice.
Something like breathing,
a sort of deep feeling,
something I know inside of my soul,
something so new, something so old.

It's the blackened moonless night,
it's a day, joyous and bright.
It's the calling of a million voices
screaming right at you.
It's the weight of oh so many choices,
the question asking "Who?"

It's a vision,
it's a wonder,
something hidden
past the thunder
and the roar
of inspiration
past the cry
of desperation.

I feel it running through my veins!
Give me the wheel! Pass me the reins!
How my finger tips are itching with the thought!
Oh my mind will never rot!
As long as these blank pages,
-a wonder through the ages-
continue to let me find
inspiration deep inside.

Fuck off Amity.

Go! I can see you like to write but you really must take the time for others to understand your work. Sometimes a poem can take weeks or even months

I was trying to write a poem

I was trying to write a poem about a blank piece of paper. So i wrote about what that page could be. I thought it was fairly clear, but I guess it could have been clearer.

This did, however, take a long time. Though not the longest. I once took three months writing one poem.

Ha I loved this!
the potential poem becoming a poem with potential!? poems that take months are imperfect till then or laboriously long. Who cares what others think a poem should be? those divinely inspired to capture thoughts in codex rock, they rock the souls of others who won't let go of what others think in order to express! A thing is complete when you can let it be. I love the blank page but these days it's more like a blank place in cyberspace I loved your poem and what it could have been ;)

Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
