Creative Genius

 

 

Happy the one who can let loose of everything around, and get lost in the depths of his passion to embrace his own self, to become one with his soul, to rejoice and rebirth in his native and creative genius ...

 

 When the drug called 'Passion' seizes the artist in me

It doesn't ask for the right time,

If it stands in the way of things ...

Passion doesn't kick in on command

There it is - suddenly! ... without warning

Grabs me, tears me into its voluptuous lap

Overpowering with its grandeur

Each and every feeling and thought within me

No escaping it ....... no option,

But complete surrender to the free oscillations

Of my being

Succumbing to subconsciousness

To mate with my spirit

Nothing but my human shell

Remaining in this material world .....

 

Out of these magical moments when nothing

Can hold back an artist - hot with creative energy

From pouring it out through a spiritual climax -

The most beautiful, the most perfect,

And the most precious pieces of art are born,

And provide their creator with a

Wonderful sense of achievement and deep satisfaction ...

oh, wow! I know this feeling, sometimes. . . when the words come from nowhere and fill you with more than you've known. . . when you look back and wonder where the big ideas came from and how they spilled themselves on the page so perfectly. This is a favorite!

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

Wow!!! This is awesome, one of my favorite poems so far. Passion, it takes over all of us gifted poets/writers and is like a drug, swimming in our system, and the only release is to purge it all out on paper. wonderful job angel bird!!

[PhoeniX]

such a deep wonderment and visual way to express how our creativity and imagination envelops us all. well done

Hi there Angel Bird,

You have described in an allegorical way mother nature which I thought was quite clever. I would have loved to have been around you when you just finished writing this. The radiance from your face would have lit a cigarette.

Thanks for the comments on creations.

wow this is amazing.... i feel i need a smoke now...just teasing, i get the many textures you are puttung forth but i don't see why it is rated mature, this is one of those poems that every body should read at least once. it has raw passion, great imagry and your use of words is magnificent!

this is my favorite part because i am an air sign and i can relate with the twirling of understanding. most people don't understand what it would mean unless you have been thru it leaving a lost look on so many faces.. very well done!

this was amazing, the feeling the flow, every word. It almost linked the writing process to a sexual emotion, which was quite unique to me, loved it
thank you for entering my contest

i love this. this piece is wholly new and original to me, which is something that i adore the most... especially when talking about subjects that are often written about. this is really wonderfully done. i love the word choices, especially. powerful. and you could feel the cathartic/climactic flow to it. :)

great piece. thanks for entering my contest!!!

I agree with Mejasha Love that the warning label was unnecesary
I found myself expecting, maybe wanting
some perverse or obscene
verse
But you are eloquent in describing the passion
some don't understand why we are so preoccupied and obsessed
with that creativity building
it is because it could be gone in a moment

I think that your poem is beautiful and really did not require the warning label. It was written very eloquently and so it doesn't give the reader some perversive picture that would not be sutable for young eyes. The poem could be taken as speaking of creativity itself. I am not saying to remove it. I am just saying that you did a beautiful job and I wouldn't be ashamed to have my children read something like that.
Love All, Mejasha
