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
