My passion for poetry

It took me by surprise
In an English literature class
As I was barely back from Vietnam
We were asked to write a short story, if I recall.
Instead, I wrote a very angry poem
About cute kids - the lures -
And booby traps designed not to kill
But mame.

Much later, in a culinary phase
I wrote funny poems to do with food
Chocolate delights, pastries, Éclairs.
Spaghetti and splashed tomato sauce.

Of course who can claim to be a poet
If he or she does not write
About love in many of its forms
From Heaven to Hell.

You grow with poetry
It allows you to spill your guts out.
Everything from
Zenith to Nadir.

hidden in plain sight
 
 
they don't know  
that I write  
not just here  
but anywhere--  
ever.  
 
no one does  
save one or two  
and even then  
I've only mentioned it  
in passing  
 
no one knows  
the extent  
that I feel most present  
and seen  
with pen in hand—  
writing  
 
how figuring it out  
this— bloodletting  
via quill and paper  
is the way  
is, my way.  
 
from processing  
to pulverizing,  
this step by step  
self taught course  
of raw introspection  
 
diagnosis.  
treatment.  
therapy.  
 
wrapped up  
in my version  
of syntax  
 
my stumbled upon growth  
and independence  
an internal found perception  
or sense of enlightenment, p'raps  
months in the making  
sprouted of truths known  
to unknown,  
yet more  
so much more than...  
anything  
 
and unlike  
I have ever  
experienced  
 
some lessons becoming mantra  
darkness tilts to ebb  
self hate slightly abates  
laughter is again from the belly  
 
the power of the pen  
 
 
 
no one knows, still  
 
 
 
 
but I do.

Thank you Sawyer. I had to straighten out many times the lines but now much better.

Poetically Speaking

Poetry is…
Me spilling my tea
Of me being free
From pent up emotions
It builds my desires
And my sensuality
It’s a release
That drips into a river
Much sooner than eventually

Poetry is…

Refreshing
It’s a reckoning
That connects me with nature
It’s my date on paper
It’s a connectedness
With the male, female or genderless
It’s my hub, my nest
My safe place to communicate
To explore, meditate
And get in my mind

Poetry is…

Kind to me
And allows me self expression
Connects me with nature
The elements and creatures
It allows me to dive deep in the sea

Poetry for me is…

Climaxing
Orgasms
Sweet kisses with strawberries
Melts me to my knees
Gets me in the mood
To treat, tease and please
It helps me revisit
My inner wants and needs
Submissively, dominantly
And ever so erotically
It inspires me to be
Naked in my thoughts
Exposing raw emotions

ASPIRING

the way
she wrote
that
said that
stacked
words
like steps  
to some
secret truth
and, goddamn,
it's just
a phrase,
just one word
pushed against another
but  
good god
how it  
resonates,
how it
serenades
and soothes
the soul
and
rankles
the mind
and how
i want  
to hold that,
be that,
somehow live that
life of word
on word
on word
in my small
and fumbling
way
amen

A Torrid Love Affair

  
I started to practice the art of writing
When I’d stutter and the words got stuck in my throat  
And though sometimes my spirit went down fighting  
My will would not let me get choked  
   
I had a lot of love to express  
Composing poems and prose proved promising and exciting  
And when I chose to confess my emotions to impress  
I found out I lacked the finesse to be inciting  
   
So, I practiced and practiced  
I studied, read, spilled and rehearsed  
Trying to do my damnedest  
With each and every verse from my best to my worst  
   
And poetry became a torrid love affair  
Through both dreams and nightmares  
When life and I sparred I got punched hard in the gut  
Then I’d take to paper and pen  
Vented everything from my despair to Zen  
Even when I thought I had it made then fate kicked me in the nuts  
   
And that’s what I love about poetry  
It’s made me laugh, it’s made me cry  
It’s been my literary chronicle, both serious and comical  
A reflection  
Letting me figure out what's going on inside  
   
Then when demons were about to get woke  
With a stroke of a pen I’d stoke an ire fire and flame  
I’d slay them with reason and rhyme  
Every line that I wrote    
Every time that I rote  
I smote    
And smoked those fools back from whence they came  
   
Writing is a passion  
It’s everything I can dream and imagine  
An endless vault filled with creativity and innovation  
It’s like a personal canon  
An eternal attraction  
The explanation that brings some balance to this equation
