A Poet's Life For Me.

 We sail through

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

a ocean of emotions 

on a tiny, white slip 
of ground up trees, 
with a pencil for an oar, 
or a pen for a tiller,
making ripples in 
the flow of languages, 
cutting through them 
swiftly and often 
causing them to overflow....
all ordinary boundaries

We are but pirates 
serving out our sentences 
seeking the treasures gathered 
from other peoples lives

We keep one eye 
closed to the fear 
that keeps others from writing 
and expressing themselves. 
We look for a hook 
to draw the attention
of all who pass by hoping 
they'll pause and simply study 
our scratched out renderings
from our graffiti of the mind

We find safe harbors in dreams 
and spend idyllic moments there, 
and then share our booty with any 
who would enjoy perusing it 
We turn the lines of the equator 
into the lines of an equation....
equating life's sorrows, and joys 
with words that sing,
dance and move souls

We build bonfires
in the hearts of men 
and prance like drunken minstrels 
around the feelings they 
subconsciously share with us

It is good to be a poet....it allows 
ones mind to travel and unravel 
all of the mysteries of life
by simply moving across 
an 8" by 10 " space 
with a lead tipped sword

Our sails are
the bending, 
and the turning 
of the pages
of our thoughts, 
they allow us to soar 
beyond the
humble bindings 
of daily drudge into 
the imaginary
realms of splendour.

Climb aboard,
grab an Oar
and dip it 
into the empty
white waters
waiting below, 
chart a course
to verb island
stumble on a
treasured thought, 
add it to your
priceless collection, 
and if they hang
you for your crimes 
you will only be 
another dangling participle 
still giving
meaning to life 
as you gasp out
your last breath.

Aye mateys, 
poems are the 
pebbles of the Gods, 
they toss them
in a flat arc across
the streams of
our consciousness, 
and watch gaily as 
they skip and dance 
with lilting joy 
from our lips
and pens.....

In the hold of my heart 
many poems tarry, 
and are cargo 
for starving illiterates 
seeking sustenance. 

A glass of port wine, 
a spark of
inspiration fired, 
some soft music, 
a wanton woman, 
and a poem, 
what else has
any meaning, 
what else has a 
point at the end 
that sets so well
................period.
