In My Spare Time

In My Spare Time

A Poem by Ty
"

In My Spare Time

"
In my spare time
I'd write
I'd think
Deface delayed displace, in fear
Inevitable the pond grows deep with tears
Spilling over in emotion,
Soaked loose leaf in ink
Absord sounds and aromatic citrus scents,
We become a piece of everything that grows
Murals in display amongst brick walls,
Halls of time that froze
Left in paper trails and instrumentals
Damu illuminated filaments of tungsten wire,
Of a once dull light bulb
Grown conifidence in increments
And,
If I could,
In my spare time
I'd ask you of your help,
Where is your heart, how do you present it?
I'd rewind
I'd reflect
I'd project
Endeavors and confidence,
In Auburn and Bronze feathers
Of the Red Tailed Hawk
I'd orchestrate a contraption
Or devise equations in rhythmic fractions
Divide a piece of me to hand to you
In my spare time I'd decide and debate how high to set the bar
Or
Contemplate,
Conscious decisions to distance myself
One mississippi
Two mississippi in between the thunder and lightning
To determine how far out the storm
Or how far out I've drifted
As it falls in sequence
Believe I'd refract my emotion in color of Rainbow Mountain,
Or Vinicunca, of Peru
As prisms and circumhorizontal arcs,
In my spare time,
I'd wait.

Hy Ty,you sure cover a lot of ground in your verses.You are obviously well read and your writing is spontaneous and heart felt,but perhaps it's my age that makes it more difficult to follow.I get the theme and am a fan of freeform and spatter prose but the trail in this piece seems to need a final realization of lessons learned.I'm merely a humble writer with no formal training so I hope you'll see where I'm coming from.

Sometimes this is how I feel when I work on my chapters. I become very lost and deep in thought.

You certainly accomplish much in your "spare time" my friend. murals and tungsten and poets' tears...Red Tailed Hawks and Mississippis...'what a long, strange trip it is'...and a mesmerizing one! Kudos!

I could not help my eyes from tearing as I read this remarkable piece. "Spilling over in emotion, soaked loose leaf in ink."
Ty, your writing is a mystery. Uniquely enough, I could see myself in the line I quoted above. One does not know the lonely path of becoming a writer or a musician. To be filled with such creativity, does not come without pain.
Art seldom originates from happiness.

Absolutely drop in for more. Definitely appreciate it.
This is a symphonic piece, played by full orchestra, Ty! You've danced through emotion and action, countered and diluted with amazing skill.

Need come back to analyse having absorbed its touch... twice. Brilliant writing, phrasing and meaning.
