Death by Words

Im about to commit poetic suicide

Im gonna drive into a lake of words and die a creative death

The asphyxiation of liquid paraphrases entices me

Swamped by grammatical sea creatures;

I create a piece….

Under water….

I can’t breath….

I can’t see but I wrote a piece

The struggle resembles the erratic motion of a pen on paper; arms whaling against the resistance of the swamp

The struggles calms

My piece is complete

My creative lungs robbed of its oxygen supply; now filled with literature

My energy weakens and my body tires

The battle has ended…

Words have killed me.

Thoughts to Paper

My urge to write far exceeds my want to fight the feelings I contain within me.

These indescribable emotions frustrate me beyond no end but admittedly give me more to write about.

The thing is; writing gives me the opportunity to express my thoughts, feelings and views in the most raw form.

My aim is to create a piece designed to enable you to understand my understanding

But there isn’t enough words in the world that allow one to completely comprehend the contents of one’s being

So in deep thought I lay in darkness; allowing nothing other than words to disturb me

Ink flowing from my heart through my veins via a biro bleeding on a blank canvas with lines on it

As this canvas becomes immersed with emotion in the common form of blue pigment, my eyes brighten up; the sudden recognition of what being a poet consists of excites me

My poems explain me; so read on....

My Minds' Speaking

Here are some key quotes I came up with while having a coversation with the inner me;

Honesty; As a defense mechanism I refuse to be 100% honest with someone if I can't be totally honest with myself...no one can. It creates vunerabilities and allows someone to know you more than you know you.

Temptation; Temptation is self-denial...knowing you want something but stopping yourself from seeking it because of some reason YOU think makes sense...again; another defense mechanism.

Writing; I'm no longer holding back from stepping into foreign grounds; it will give me more to write about and if it hurts me, it will give me even more to write about.

Women; I'm willing to think like a lady in order to establish if I have the qualities a woman wants.
