I am not playing.
It would certainly
be easier if I was.
* * * *
You write poetry in the air
fold it into a gale.
I stand still
while it rains on me.
My hands use a pencil
drawing words.
I fill them with my blood,
they will pulse in your heart.
I want to see
you in the morning,
before the mirror.
Place my breath
in your lungs.
Everyday, I will
be the ocean
that washes
into your sands.

When we have a dream before us should we not collect the diamonds from the sky and strew them through our soul. Thanks for all of your kind words. Love, Tom B.

Amen. It is amazing how much desire one can find here on AP. Even if the poetry is junk, the passion is real. Not saying your poem is junk just that this seems to be a recurring theme. You know, more and more I see this as the most human element: to make one's life matter, to be inspired to do bravely creative things, to make that connection -- at least with another soul. And you capture this very well in your poem

Glad you don't see it as junk. When we are touched, really touched it changes us. Glad you felt I captured this.
Peace & Love, Tom B.

I like this poem. I dont know what it is. Something about it is just amazing. I know im supposed to be commenting on your poetry but I do not have any points. I really want to have an amazing contest so if you could donate a few points Id love it. I only want like ten points. Im trying to get ten poeple to donate ten points, and I was shoping you would be one of those ten. Again I love your poetry and sorry for asking for the points. I'd have to say my favorite part of your poem is the second stanza. I hope you write more poetry because you are a truly amazing writer.

Well, I do know. This isn't short or long. Just a breath of a song that I hope is held in a heart. At least, I would like to prove that romanticism isn't shallow. Love, Tom B.

It is so nice to feel the warmth of someone else within your heart, this just shows how deep the caring is for another and how it affects even the smallest moment in a day. It's beautiful. Love, C
