    lol... man, it's been a long long time

    I saw "Yellow" and thought, who stole my old username?

    sigh


    So. the "con" of being a poet is TRUST? Care to elucidate? I understand the dreamy reincarnation, and I've got my interpretation of the con, but...

    hmmmm

    The poetry con " Trust"
    I just meant to say that I have trouble sharing my poetry with those people in my day to day daily life, family, friends I try to have meaningful conversation as to also share some poems I have written... Honestly they aren't interested, so whatever... I don't trust them as much anymore. SAD
    I love them all, but fuck them, I love my poetry so much.. more!
    I keep poetry life seperate from family life...
  • To be fair, my mother has been very supportive and encouraging to me and my poems.

    oh... I know what you mean. But, there are alot of people who just don't get poetry. And, if it doesn't mean anything to them, well then forget it... no tug boat or train can pull their interest.

    we are to be ourselves each and every one of us.
    embrace your own creative channels, invent/invert more.
    find yourself endlessly searching, looking for something to fill a feeling,
    not necessarily thoughts but more felt visuals transcending closing eyes.
    and the blind negative do not understand.
    points, plus one.

    some dont like to show it
    and others dont always know it
    but I'll always be a poet
    expressing my imagination
    lost in my own creation
    a poets life for me
    I find a release of feelings
    every time I write these pieces
    it's like I escape with glee
    no other I'd care to mention
    when I'm lost releasing my tensions
    in a poetic, creative release.
    Can not be arsed with life no more.

    Picking up water with holes that leak
    Colander like brain cells flicker
    More like a short circuited raindrop
    Rainbows are made for watering
    Where did I leave my hat?
    Fuck...it’s always somethin

    photograph a feeling
    paint a story locked to measurement
    evade, elude, elucidate
    entrap and leave a moment under
    stated, understanding

  • SPANKTASTIC!!!
  • Expressionless, void and voluptuous deed
    soft, as one
    who is missing its taste, soft belly
    threading the ballet
    in the solemnity of trees without their leaves, thinning quilting mothers working the windy morning airs, carry the
    violet processions
    to strange ensnares...
