Poet Whisperer
Gentle now
poet is scorching in words
a little bleed of knowing
paper falls on thoughts
desire for good works with words
sentences in seek
drops of blood ink
Gentle now
poet mimes the vision
swallow of unplanned adventures
slippery slope into throat
it shouldn’t be this hard
yet it is and yet it isn’t
Gentle now
poet is wounded for life
a fortunate fate
each line wants to hold all
rejecting blather
pure extraction of human ink
Gentle now
whisper for the poet steeps
living the abstract drug
a mind sipping on words
Gentle now dear friends
the pain is easing
words to quench the heart
poet begins to speak his ink

you rock words.
i love this, tender beuty oh!

awesomely written!
I like how you say it twice … poetically, beautifully, and in plain clear style. Happens to be a great example of the difference between styles and how the poet can say so much more than just the words.
“beautiful and desolate”……absolutely !!
gentle now …gives such a perfect meaning to this KS and the repetition of course is soooo very clever lulls and croons softly into the pink shell ears your a gentle soul for sure darling …adore this lullaby xxxx
The entire write is amazing but I so feel the last stanza.
Gentle now

Gentle now dear friends

Phenomenal write!!
Beautifully written KS. To me, it felt like a gentle tip toe across the fragility of the poets’ mind in motion. Wonderfully sensitive, visual and emotive.. :-) xoxoxo
oh Darling,

you beautiful poet
