PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the feint scent of marigolds

in their finest form of perfection

steal so sweetly from me

my more attributing vivid thoughts

even in harsh contrast

I am truly envious of such

sustained focus

and her most silently tempered muse

at great affordable leisure

my strangled mirth kicks

and my unprepared conscience tends

to abhor such mental shocks

as

its much too illogical

but the true dreamers never seem

to see it that way

I find too often I am quite unjustly

impaired

by the cluttered creative limits of

my frankly too human mind

as if I

a merely wanna be poet

deserves so much the better

you know

I'm quite mad when I'm high

(on myself)

such grievous cluttering

is like a wet, heavy blanket

that smothers the warmer fires in

my soul

once for me

stars could fell the fairy tale

monsters of my childish frights

where now mental oceans bow before

the ginger scent of wine

and roar almost ad nauzeum

about the mystical glow that gets

cast off my romantic firelight

surely such sensuous sights

are indeed sights worth mentioning

and not

simply just by one's seeing

as beauty should be felt not merely

witnessed

like a crime

such offer of expression

nearly begs one to become

part of the moment so poignant

really

is it so sadly romantic of me

to cry over lovers who have yet

arrived to break one's much too

tender heart

well, if so

this I still choose to do

as such ease of shifting forward

in one's way of thinking

is certainly considered

a sound practice

where one's careful preparation

in nearly everything else

often saves lives

few still today realize that this very

same practical exercise

works for one's heart just as well

if not then following this

at least practice more and more

falling in love

whether it be

with a book

a child

a pet

a flower

or a lover

why just a fiery sunset or simple

silky cloud

that so sweetly passes through one

of many of God's endless frames of sky

set free the unashamed marvel that fills

thine tear trapped eyes

and teach your ever present companion

truth

how to better focus on

love's pure climb

to its highest love

and you will excel to learn and fully

know

all things that are meant to be

but best of all

you will become one with all the reasons

why

because

God has said

'Let It Be'.............
