A Most Beguiling Call

I walked the path
of the waking dead
among the lifeless
empty and bled

Inside my being
my heart lay un-beating

Til poetry found me
and breathed new life into me

Laid in deep

Paved within

Carved and Engraved

Upon a soul’d vessel
mortal’d in this realm
and slightly out of faze

Poetry Grows

I can feel the flow deep inside
as I sip upon each read
letting each letter
intoxicate me

POETRY = Defibrillator

Shocked my heart with words
now it beats in verbs
with a rhythm beyond
a normal rhyme

Temptation throbs
pulsing though out

The want of words
preying on my hunger now

Fervent in the moment moans
pound through the sound barrier
sonic synaptic surges pulsate thru
my brain's pleasure system

Poetry your so addictive
making me your junkie w***e

Ink flows in my veins
inducing sensual labor
thru poetic labyrinths

My passion builds
as my creation spills
dancing on the cusp
between want and need
towards a most beguiling call

P-o-e-t-r-y

She sings to me
from her
Melodic
Dream
Lounge

Eat me
Breathe me
Ink me

Submerge
yourself
within me

B-l-e-n-d-i-n-g
you and I
Horizon’d
between we

Illuminations
flow internally

Taking in each syllable
sliding deeper into meaning
engulfing me in verbal mist

Drips of inspiration

Flourishing rotations

Pulsating my mental grip

See she
whispers
in echoes

Whispers
in Echoes

Taunting me
from an
unturned
page

Persuading me
to lay my heart
open and bare
upon the pages
of eternity

Thoughts and beats-ONENESS
Poetry is Breathless wounds

Passion held spellbound
in Desires grip

Because through it all
Poetry saves me

And Ill sing

Self expression to the end

I do not know if it was meant to be so erotic, but it definitely has my mind elsewhere! Great poem!!!!

This was the stanza that stood out for me, although the whole poem was good.

The fervent in the moment moans...stanza really captured electrical impulses.

A most beguiling call...yes, we all need a cause to live for... it is the spark in life.

[Little Birdie]

Beautiful. Canvases and canvases could be pained with the pictures your poems sets free.

Being a biomed tech, I can see this poem in the shape of an abnormal QRS that is an "A-fib" sinus rhythm on an EKG strip. Then enters in the defibrillator! (see note) The normal QRS comes back, and this poem is soooo intelligent it's staggering my imagination. Clearly, poetry is a passion, as lyrics it has a beat, and as life it has a heart beat. OMG this is good!

[note: only a V-fib condition would indicate a defibrillator, but who would know that?]

I agree with your amazing poetry. Poetry is my peace in a wild and crazy world. I like how you told the journey of discovery of words and the excellent ending to the outstanding poem. Thank you.
