Poetry Is More Than Mere Words, <br />i agree <br />mere words do not make poetry <br />it is the mixture <br />of night <br />and day <br />and day <br />and night <br />when <br />you think of yourself <br />and the other <br />when the night <br />dragged <br />so slowly <br />and you forget <br />that <br />morning has arrived <br />like <br />an unwanted visitor <br />of you party <br /> <br /> it's a profound expression of what's inside oneself. <br /> <br />oh yes, it is always the inside <br />that matters <br />myself wanting to get out <br />from the cave <br />of innocence <br />and assume <br />the form <br />of a bird <br />wanting to fly away and never come back <br />since <br />there is no home <br />anymore to <br />speak of <br /> <br /> <br />It's an impressive play of words with meaning and <br />depth through which the author shares his feelings, <br />thoughts, <br />and <br />ideas. <br /> <br />i agree, it is sharing <br />above all, reaching to others who take the same <br />walk with you <br />angst <br />depression <br />joys <br />bliss <br />numbness <br />and feelings <br />of guilt <br /> <br />a confession <br /> <br /> <br />Through poetry, he conveys his innermost self - <br />putting them into vivid <br />and vibrant verses <br />that tell stories, <br />express sentiments, <br />and speak of lives. <br /> <br />In this kaleidoscope of poems, <br />he gives focus on everything <br />and anything there is, <br />making this poetry <br /> as diverse as life itself. <br /> <br /> Enjoy <br /> <br /> these poems, and <br /> <br />you'll find yourself inspired <br /> <br /> to write your own.<br /><br />RIC S.
