Quote

Poets want everything
that you can’t buy
so please don’t be a beautiful fool
full of that deep ache
you label
either love or anxiety
confused with what your brain
tells your heart.
poets should inspire
hurt, reveal, cover up
use foundation on rhymes
but we tend to float
between lives
and we know it takes skill
shallow waters
and observation of the highest calibre.
use a gun on my thoughts
destroy the need to get in my mind
and settle for my body.
fill it up with your elbows, knees
beard, shoulders, lips
any part that the sun kisses.
sigh a bit over my drum beats
red carpet humanity
don’t be ashamed of who we are
be proud
be brilliant
in this poetic grace
only the few like us
survive.
when I left you the last time
we met
I tried hard to not look back.
don’t you find poets
look back way too often
in real life in pretend?
some questions are better
left unanswered.
there is a riot
in our minds
and hugs and kisses
to all of you
who love how words
kiss us and kill us
in unison.

For everything notebooks / journal reviews
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for
open your mind to a growth mindset and new perspectives
Love can be a business of prayer, Mercy a business of rebellion. Poetry should strive to be both.
