Where Poets Dream and Cry

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Where is the place for Poets
To dream their dreams and spread their wings
To imagine the wildest and the unthinkable
To ponder on and create unheard of things

Where can Poets slip away to
When creativity is at an all-time high
And they get a glimpse of a masterpiece
And all the parts that will bring it to life.
And now is the time to capture the flow
Before inspiration dies with the close of this window
Of time that only Poets are privileged to know.

How can we not miss going
To this once forbidden place
That will ever so often appear
For a Poet to see and partake of its gifts so dear.

Where do poets go to contemplate
Their characters and who they will come to life and be
And where they will live and who else will be there
And as the story unfolds, what does it all mean

Where do Poets go when they are overwhelmed
And life becomes a rollercoaster ride pulling them in all directions
A puzzle piece menagerie with a juxtapose of scattered energies it seems
And they are left wanting in burnout or just betwixt and between
Where is their refuge, their special place
To go and be nurtured
Where do they escape when life gets too loud
And they just need a space to breathe.

Where do Poets Go
When they are in a season
Where life pulls on their emotions
And they need a good cry
Where is this space or place
Where Poets may run, to dream and cry.

So often poets and writers ascribe their muse, both in classics and even in some modern pieces, as the entity that brings to them the ideas and inspiration for the writings.

Have very much enjoyed your piece highlighting what I believe to be even more important, the beauty of your setting and place you find peace and creative solitude.

Whether your physical location, a beautiful backdrop, a sunset on an ocean, or a place in your mind that may or may not be even anchored in a physical embodiment of our current reality, so much creative beauty can stem from these locations.

Thank you for shining a light with this piece on those magical places, Ren.
All the best. <3

That's exactly how it works 😄 :
Just like any other art
Sometimes you get it all at once
sometimes a line sometimes a start..

So true, its the magic of how art reveals itself to you and works with you until you create and bring it to life. Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. It means a lot. @hazem91

yeah
And sometimes it just forces you and you have no other choice but writing
And when you finish you really have no idea where that came from
It's like you got possessed by a poet ghost 😄
Well maybe I'm exagerating a little bit here
but that's how it feels sometimes ..
You're wellcome @rensoul17. Great poem !
