To Write A Poem...

To write a poem...
To let the thoughts of the "moment"
dictate the penmanship of your voice...
To allow the vulnerabilities of your bic
scroll the lyrics of the song in your tongue...
To intertwine fantasy, facts and whimsical anecdotes with a stanza...
To present the broken pieces of your heart in questions
to a sea of listening eyes and insightful ears...
The magic that is created when sonnets are married with the passion of a poets power...
Their voice -
a story to be told;
a memory captured on the blue faced lines of that dollar store black and white marble composition book.
A book nonetheless of history,
filled with present day facts and occurrences, sometimes even realities of happenstance,
but still a chance...
To write a poem...
to free the words imprisoned in your soul.
Laying it all on the line,
exploring metaphors,
and making that final phrase mean something ,
while trying to find the rhyme.
All just trying...
to write a poem!
