oh poetry divine
I read some verses from Leaves of Grass today, was reminded, inspired, driven to write –
oh poetry divine,
how i have missed you!
the unnamed ache
the blankness of a
white-washed wall
the long hard stare
into darkness
unrecognizable.
it was you all along.oh for the pictures
drawn with words
the written whispers
the saying without really saying
the subtlety of symbolic songs
the expression of heart
that just can’t take shape
the shaping of pathos
in the beading of words
the bleeding of thoughts
the blending of me
with you and the world.oh poetry divine,
how i have missed you!
