mere cathartic musings

the label

POET.................

I wear such shingle well

and live in shameless obscurity

a presence of self

I sense

along side this need

to self convince

no fabulous figure do possess I

though fabulous figures of thought

can I supply

and do

with much thought but so little effort

I should confess

the words just visit me

no bragging here is meant

just an unfashioned focus

liberation if you will of my spiritual

lament

to get views and ideas across

each page itself

for me

can feel so much loss

what is given

takes as well

in some vague degree

the greatest possible pleasure

comes to sit with me

during this time of exchange

to the point

where such moments lived for

make up for

even the days that are squandered

in aimless vain

poetry

for me

a point well taken

which makes me never quite the same

but better

almost

maybe even purer

of thought and deed

which grounds me up

by screening my focus into

my own formidable grain

in essence

my soul

taking refuge

from the body

through words..........
