"POTENTIAL"

"POTENTIAL"

Did I touch the stars unrealized
Was my kiss....potent
Inherent, in my capacity
For latent possibilities,
Can I see the future from my crystal orb
Will I control the birds
As the Earth's ...spin
Controls my view
Of those
Very stars
That my beliefs
Instill.....


 

Shall I pour the bloodied wine
For Osiris to reach
The moon
Or does my potential
Have more than a Universe contains
Shall I take the Olive branch
And offer the Gods
My refrain
Or will you be my religion
Driving my desire,
And my thirst,
For blood......

Tony Taylor    (Chicago)

Hey Tone,

 

Your potential, ceases at no limit my friend, not even for the many stars shrewed sporadicly and vicariously above and your heart as well, has a way of conjuring a smile from the very sun, on a day when rain, was broadcast to have overwhelmingly taken center stage....Love the way you find the best in all things and always keeping your head high and in the game, even though your heart has been offered out in abundance, to all you meet....Proud of you my friend, beyond words......All the limitless possibilities, in this world and beyond, have you placed in this poem......Well done my friend...

Hi Tony! I really can't think of the words to write that would compare to what Cherie and Jimmy already did...so I completely agree with them both. Your range of poetry is phenomenal and you have a true gift to be able to write about anything and everything. I know that when I see you post a poem I am going to be astonished by your words of wisdom and creativity. I hope you are feeling better! Always thinking of you!
