The poetry that I write comes from a wide variety of
places.Mostly they stem out of some
form of pain, but, truth be told, it is the strongest of the emotions that
drive the need to compose poetry.Love,
pain, suffering, extraordinary beauty, these are the things that take us out of
our everyday existence and permit us to see that there is something greater
beyond us.
I make no claims of being a great poet.I don’t know that any poet every does.I have tried my hand at other mediums of
express.I don’t have great skill at
drawing, painting, sketching, sculpture or artistic media in that
category.I have written lyrics and
composed music, but I have not found that I can express what I feel or visions
I have through that.However, writing
lyrics came close.
Poetry, now there is a medium I can work with.It concise requirements, coupled with a touch
of mystery allows the expansion of mind that I feel.It is very difficult to express the vastness
and dark energies I feel, but poetry helps me understand it.I don’t have to apologize to it, I simply
exist as part of it.
My poetry is my own and I do it to help me learn and
understand.I share pieces here that
have rich meaning for me.
