poets prayer
All I need is enlightenment, the ability to understand
with full comprehension, to acquire absorb and analyze
knowledge as fact. And a recorded text to document the
uncaged minds ramblings through space and time.
And maybe then, well, after I read it, I would understand
why it is that I write. But for now, I’m just letting go.
Pushing forth a pathetically pointless parade of whiny
witless words for the sake of alliteration. But I need a point.
Subject matter to mold my pointless chatter into a sculpted
shapely verse to ease the mind and sooth the soul.
For that, I need emotion. To share the weight of my soul
and let the light shine through my experiences, exposing the
essence that is my humanity. I need conviction. To speak
and write whats true to me and stand behind my words with honesty. Honesty, thats what I need. Cuz it’s easier to remember
the truth rather than what lie I told much less to who.
Maybe I just need to find my voice, to listen to my heart
cry and follow my passion into the night in pursuit of
my self-truths. Maybe then, I could get past this writers block
and I could continue to express myself in poetic verse.
Who am I kidding? I’m a poet,
all I need are words
with full comprehension, to acquire absorb and analyze
knowledge as fact. And a recorded text to document the
uncaged minds ramblings through space and time.
And maybe then, well, after I read it, I would understand
why it is that I write. But for now, I’m just letting go.
Pushing forth a pathetically pointless parade of whiny
witless words for the sake of alliteration. But I need a point.
Subject matter to mold my pointless chatter into a sculpted
shapely verse to ease the mind and sooth the soul.
For that, I need emotion. To share the weight of my soul
and let the light shine through my experiences, exposing the
essence that is my humanity. I need conviction. To speak

Who am I kidding? I’m a poet,
all I need are words
