Desiring to express my art
Not knowing where it will take me
So much to say
Not able to grasp the words
To express it firmly
Such frustration encompassed
Into knots that can't be unwind
The speed of creative thoughts
Is hard to grasp and focus
Let alone capture one!
Disgusted with the process
Wishing to find a better
Way to vomit what's inside me
Insecurities of my art
Impedes how I deliver
What to say to thee!
Ah! Just let it out!
I wish I could but
Gagged with the poison
of nervous insecurities!
Such silly games
We seem to play on
Ourselves. Knowing full
Well that I am the only
One who stops myself
From moving forwards
And taking that Prize
Which we strive to
Realize!
Nice poem,Cassandra! It express the emotional and mental state you were in when you have wrtitten it! You're,completely,right -the only person who can really stop you is YOU! Of course,others can try to stop you,too,but the main stops about moving forward exist,very deeply,in you,in your own mind! (especially,in this part of it that is called "reactive") .Want to share with you something -my blog ,another inspirational blog and a poem! http://themessageofmichael.blogspot.com http://www.howtogetinspired.blogspot.com Where have I known you before
ReplyDeleteWhere did we play among galaxies bright
Laughing and dancing, creating each night
Deciding the course to then venture on out
Love, you, space and I
Free from fear, free from doubt
Where have I known you before
Where have I loved you before
Was it just yesterday
Or millennia ago
I kissed, touched, held and needed you so
Your face is different
Yet you, you’re you, just you
Still glowing and silvery bright
Wondrous dancingly bright
I knew you the moment you entered my room
That infinite eternal night
Where have I loved you before
Where have I hurt you before
Where did I hurt you so deep- so deep
To hear you say you knew me not
When you alone could save me there
And free me from that tyrant’s keep
Defender of the Vulcan worlds
Where filled my mind with blackened sleep
Where have I hurt you before
Where did I lose you before
Was it when you gave your life
To save that pharaoh king
Or when our golden mothership took flight
Far away from Saturn's rings
Was it when we made the pact
Then drifted into violet space
So certain we would meet the other side
But there was no such place
Where did I lose you before
Where have I known you before
The moment I saw you I knew
I had found again the singer of a thousand songs
That haunted every dream
The painter of the colors of my mind
Reminding me of places we had been
I’m seeing clearer now-the truth unfolds
The past all drifts away
You’re back again my dearest friend
You never went away
