Mute

With poetry
I am born
into a new
existence

Words be
the spark
that ignites
my soul

But anytime
you speak
from a place
that is not
your heart
you are
mute
to
me

I like the structure, to me it looks like an arrow.

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

Simple, concise and well put. I could see this one being expanded upon a bit, getting into the meat of the topic a little more, but I particularly like the sentiment of the last stanza. Nicely done.

[Silas]

Spectacularly amazing. I am speechless. So strong and encouraging. It's beautiful.

[Saint No-One]

This is phenomenal. Your best writings are like this, intelligent, succinct, clean and simple. This resonates greatly with me. I have always said "lead with your eh wart and never appologise for anything that comes from it."

ohh how you come right to the point..
chant me with words.come to me right from your heart
speak to me,that music i only know so well..where it came from
from there your soul,it flowed,you then break me apart
only that way then you could reach me,and open my doors
other ways ,you could never make it,its only music i wanna hear
lovely write..

A wonderfully creative write Samantha..I posted a poem "Asea" that I think tries to say the same thing..It is all about honesty and sincerity and how poetry is born within our souls and..........our hearts.
I loved the form and style this poem took with just the right flow and rhythm.
Great message....terrific poem
