    Hi...wish u enjoy my poems..thank you...

    The struggling poet

    I am a poet,
    futile it may seem
    in the realm
     I'm in

    My word lost
    its essence
    against
    the filtered ears
    of the crowd,
    It's subtle
    as the mellow
    gust of wind,
    My words are frail,
    for it can't pierce
    the thickness
    of the walls
    of your soul,
    Walls thickened
    by convention
    your allowing,
    But here i am,
    striving to write
    the song
     I'll be singing,
    hoping to find in writing
    what's my true meaning,
    Though my song
    is not sung
    and its worth
    is unseen
    I'll continue
    to write
    till breath to me
    will part
    Hoping someday
    that some of my words
    will crush
    the walls of your soul
    burn the lace
    of your limit
    to free at last
    your unsettled spirit!

    Similar to a lady smoothing the rough edges of a potential mate and/or vice versa. Great!

    even the hard rocks and the rugged boulders can be changed into smooth river stones by running water, in time. my friend, i consider this piece a smooth river stone. zaph

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
