Life Of A Poet
-From 'Noon Realizations'
Black,
my heart
which blows
and spits forth
words...
It sputters
and gurgles
in finality
as a motor
about to give out...
I throws
its last bits
of prose
to again fall
on deaf ears...
It laughs
and seethes
with futility
and fatality
and grandeur...
It gives its
last bit of life
to the words
to carry on
as in black...
Light descends
incandescent,
words carry on
as truth reviles
old lies...

Wow! I really loved this! The way your poetic heart became an entity was quite amazing and wonderfully done. Love the poem in it's entirety. So many great lines that it was hard to pinpoint a fav but I loved:
" It laughs
and seethes
with futility
and fatality
and grandeur... "
...and I also love the last stanza, perfect bookend. xo

Thank you so much for the positive comment.... That third to last paragraph is my favorite too.... This poem, along with the others in this collection were written during a very challenging period of my life.....
