words

words

At times, I feel so uninspired,

having no words to share with anybody

yes, I know they are moving deep inside

living in the light of sweet innocence

feeding on stored up laughter

childish conversations,

memories of safe places;

demanding nothing presence

still breathing, but scattered, and

afraid to come to the surface of reality

perhaps, sensing they have no place, anymore

appearing only once in a while

random, like a quiet child

suddenly verbose

then filling up every fiber of my being

with energy, confidence;

at least, for a little season

igniting by emotions,

when thoughts are formed from

the blessings of God

the contentment after a good meal

the purity of pleasure; without guilt

the silence of a faithful contented lover

the musings of a beautiful woman;

fanning their embers to flames;

yet, even that is temporal

and vanishes when the skin cools,

the magic of friendship,

love without perversion;

 love indeed;

wanting nothing needing nothing...

but I digress; it is the absence

of words I try to speak of, and

 the elements that give them life

T, you're the best, bro....thanks for commenting pal, love this comment....I hear what you're saying, to be honest, I don't even know if I like this one myself, I know it comes from a 'core' truth, but I'm a realist as well; not everything I write will connect or even be liked by everyone, all the time; that would be creepy; and not possible... even an egomaniac like me can't be that messed up to believe otherwise;  I think the whole concept of posting should be to get constructive feedback, but that's me speaking....T, all I want are honest comments pal; let's fly into the truth, I'm willing, so don't you ever hold back, with me....as for the site, it will be whatever the people on it need it to be....personally, I just want to read poetry and stories, and post some as well, not looking for too much else....lol, so this is the 'new' Tony Taylor?   liking it, but I like you and know where you are coming from, please say anything you want as a comment....peace, hugz

Christopher, I think this is a very good write man. As im reading this I was thinking you are literally speaking from the heart gapping into a different potential source of inspiration to fuel this write. No poem is ever bad it justs speaks to certain readers in different ways. This is the stuff I like to read, well done. Always a friend D.

Christopher, I can relate to the notion of "having no words to share with anybody." There have been dark times in my life where I am unable to write creatively. And have tried, but not been very happy with the results! Well crafted poem!

Mind blowing ... Great words... Love it!

suddenly verbose

then filling up every fiber of my being

with energy and confidence,

at least, for a little season

ignited by emotions,

thoughts formed from

the blessings of God

the contentment after a good meal

the purity of pleasure; without guilt

the silence of a faithful lover

the musings of a beautiful woman;

fanning their embers yet

Hello Sparrowsong, thank you for commenting, I appreciate very much....yes I do believe that one should appreciate when words come together from nothing but inspiration and experiences, as I get older I have become more appreciative when it happens, take it less for granted....cheers Sparrowsong, have great Sunday.   I'm heading to the Portuguese bakery for some coffee and sweets...
