~ The Writer In Secret ~
The writer who strives
Who struggles for honest purity
Recognizes the lies
That permeate the unity
In writing's community
For,
To read,
Is to write,
To have written....
A secret we all learn quite quickly
Is that energy, beyond one's own intellect
Is in the 'letting go' of the sickly
And to draw from the vastness of the internet
The unbelievable 'Library In The Sky'
That (of course) thanks to the contribution
Of the novelist
Is all in one place & easily a revolution....
The poet knows that he speaks somewhat wildly
From intellect released from all service
Has suffered to take his direction from the celestial
Like taking it "ALL" in, and delivering truth through sin
The ultimate truth with his mortality tossed to the wind
AndΒ yes, to the laymen this seems surreal
But to the poet itΒ comes fromΒ the ethereal....

I agree Tony!
With todays tools, internet and information.
I no longer 'suffer in silence'
Now everyone that reads my poems,.... can suffer with me!
Keep writing often and well,
And try not to misspell.
High five and a fist full of stars!!!!! Β Β Your Cyber Bro.
Q :)
Misspell?
Actually the misspell is the advice I give myself. Just a lame attempt of a joke.

I write for not to do so would cause pain. Β My writings often are pointless, more shotgun than rifle. I envy the fluidity of your works and and am often inspired by reading.
