This is one of the few poems i've ever been really proud of. it was just a conversation between me and a friend that got dumped by a girl and i just let it flow. read the poem and follow the instructions.
Love
the world is talking, just listen.
quiet your mind.
clear the roadblocks in your mind
feel the way your heart beats.
the way you breathe.
realize how much of this little world you control.
flow with the world
let it tell you its secrets.
as a close friend
allow your world to open up.
it would gladly lay all its answers before you.
but it speaks a different language.
feel its vibrations.
let it talk.
you were made to understand it.
do you see anything?
does your heart feel a certain way?
is your brain starting to shut up?
you don't really need it.
your body runs off the worlds vibrations.
it breathes with you.
it lives with you.
it beats with your heart.
it loves with you.
it falls from love with you.
theres a flower somewhere that curled up when it heard about him
theres a tree that died with her
theres a seed for every person on this earth.
quite a few of them will bloom. just so you can smell them.
some for you to see their beauty.
some to see you.
some to hear your thoughts.
all in the worlds vibration.
the world wants you to succeed.
for, when you succeed, it succeeds.
and love flows through its vibration.

A friend of mine always sends me a "quote of the day." I saw today's and immediately thought of this post.

You succeed very well in putting deep feeling into words, Mikey.
Communication is always an attempt to turn nuomenon into phenomenon. Poetry is a special class of communication that goes beyond language into structure, rhythm, and novelty in the attempt to express that which cannot be casually expressed.
ReplyDeleteAs Ed quoted, that level of expression is extremely difficult. I'd say you've done masterfully.
Aww.... schucks, guys. oh- ed, be warned- the storm headed your way is pretty brutal. keep your head up.
ReplyDeleteA storm is coming, Frank says...
ReplyDeletedonnie darko=yes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I've been covering this weekend as duty officer for the department so weather is always a prime concern for me. Bring in additional staff, think about potential problems, remind crews about safety issues.
ReplyDeleteI also think stormy weather is very cool. I love being out during a storm. It makes me feel alive to feel the wind and the rain and nature doing its damnedest. :)
nothing more beautiful than poetry. this is a very good poem Mikey.
