Thy Name is Poet
Just a poem that could have gone on infinitly, writing about some of the different styles, forms, kinds, moments of writing and writers. and, most importantly, the absoluteness of writing!
Thy Name is Poet belongs to the following groups:
! Creative Writing & Poetry !, "Poetry and Beautiful Women" , All Out Emotion, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, Creative, Talented, and Unknown, Everyday Life, Light In The Darkness, Masterpieces: Literary Workshop, The beauty of poetry, Up & Coming Writers and WMGSome poets write with a rapier blade,
meaning to cut a thing down
to its bare-boned ism.
Others write of fanciful affairs with a voice
as silk is,
to a fair maiden’s slip.
Some write from the void (the out world expanse)
of truth and secret gatherings
of white wind warriors!
Some write of the gut wrenching horrors
of abuse, pain, and mutilated soul;
where every word written is a cathartic expulsion
of venom from veins -
a bleeding of the darkness within, meant
for the healing of self and others.
Yet, others write of the red beating pulse of love!
with the force of eternal motion,
in one long unstoppable exhaled breath (the fall of time
standing still);
of holding ones breath in
either tortuous blue-faced death, or the splendor
of knowing the everlasting meaning
of one.
Other poets write their fingertips;
a caress felt with a lead tipped touch,
(for they are the ones whose minds
have stolen heart –
replacing it with the numb of page)
their only place of refuge,
for pages do not scorn, nor look in places
where they aught not look (where love dies).
Some write simply what comes:
from the breath of a new day on their lips,
to the touch of a kindred spirit’s words
upon their heart – to make sense of a memory,
or share something discovered –
an epiphany
yearning to spread.
No.
Parchment just wishes to be stroked,
no judgments made unto its scribe –
only love, only love…
Some poets paint their words –
A union both exact and beautiful –
where visions blossom within the mind
instead of on a canvass.
These inner pictures rise from the garden
of each poet’s depths;
each beheld a little differently, than the next
soul to read, the poets eyes.
There is no other form of art that can bring souls together,
from any age, life, reckoning or century,
like the written word.
We write each others lives,
for we are of our maker’s words.
One breath upon first parchment, wrote
one word within the stars –
Poet.
For, we here are all bringer’s of truth;
spreaders of seeds (for good or otherwise)
we are all extensions of the whole –
the will of God, Gods, Earth and all that is,
reaching out with verbal arms
into souls that wish to be SEEN!
To be understood! To be heard!
And so we write.
Thank the heavens above,
we write.

Kristin, this touched me deeply, perhaps the most of what I have read of yours so far, I think I really heard your soul voice in this one. The way you wrote affirmed and granted acceptance to many different motivations for writing and ended with that one word from the heavens that made sense of everything…. Poet.
Thank you…. you sizziZZle….
Kristin Reynolds replied
Hey Jim, i am so happy that you liked this one. and man, you have already mastered the art of the sizzizzle! right the, exploited deleted, on! lol there’s nothing like the praise of another poet. nothing at all. thank you, J-man. K :)

How many ways? Hmm, let me think….........too many to mention. Let me know next lifetime, O.K? I’d surely be interested in that number. Google perhaps. hardy-har-har. love, K :)

You are a poet indeed. You wrote this one with such serenity about what poet’s write about, their different styles of writing. I simplly loved it. I don’t wish to impose you on this, but I just posted one called This Mania Called Love and it’s about Love and the poets who write about it, but I started out poking fun at Love and the poets and artists who write and paint for Love and it’s like a fun poem, at the same time it starts getting serious and then I finish it as an ode to Love and the Poets and the Arts. I wasn’t really thinking about the outcome, I just started to write because I was in those fun, silly moods. So, if you have time or if you just want to take a look, feel free. It is that I thought about mine when I read yours. And congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! you deserve it. Keep them coming. Iris
