The Great Ones
with every nuance and tone
they deliver affecting us immensely
with their lives stories or their observations
it's the great ones that get us excited
wet our appetites for more
more of who they are
we long to know them better
stalking their poems
what is it that they have?
a magnetism, a turn of phrase
putting their soul into art
making you crave them with your being
a connection that goes so deep
because they have bared all on the page
I weep with you, I rejoice with you
yet the truth is I don't know you
some of you may see me in this way
though the truth is I'm just plain me
no light to follow
just broken pieces
collected on paper
to retrace my steps as I move forward
giving birth to each new day
they are my babies
so it is with us all
the great ones do it with such ease
causing me to want to taste their flesh
having already licked their minds
watching as they gave new life
to the world with their art
I'm in love with artists
the making of it
it is like making love
gentle and rough at times
all flesh and metal
though real and we feel you
all you great ones
who cause us to fall in love
to feel, to feel something
in all the fucking numbness
of it all to fill the void
here we gather to feed that emptiness

to make it seem effortless, that is the effort of writing poetry.
maybe poets are broken with every poem they write...

This too is open and honest, and a Great One in homage to the poets. Artists are passionate folks. We burn slightly faster and at higher temperatures than normal people.

Re. The Great Ones
What an eloquent thought Bren..
Your line about being pieces collected on paper reminded me of Shakespeare's famous quote..
"When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Think we see you...and many others...this way.
Those pieces a bit of our stars and we fancy them our light at times..
In the end we are just ordinary...and thats okay! We are all just human.
A divine write..
Love
Jennifer

putting their soul into art making you crave them with your being) this describes a true writer to the T.

The great ones have the ability to both lay bare their souls and entertain, maybe produce lines that really resonate and last. This is a gift that you have Crim, one that you share.
" so it is with us all
the great ones do it with such ease
causing me to want to taste their flesh"
You admire them with ferocity, wanting to learn. You can count yourself in the titular company Crim. Could use a pound of flesh myself.
With love and respect,
Crow.

There's the poem, I Think Continually Of Those
Who Are Truly Great, of course, by Spender. But
you approach the thought from a very different
angle. I like it a lot...

- another great line from you that is filled with emotion and uncomfort of existence, that flows so pure and is a delight to hear the roaring of.

this feels autobiographical in nature - I find you inspiring, I find this poem inspiring - if it wasn't for you i would never have attempted to write any erotic poems and I have now written quite a few and you were my inspiration - thank you for that :-)
