PASSION ((my first spoken word piece))

write, walk, and talk theme.... "Passion"

 

Passion…

Introduced as stress

Labeled as possessed

Gripped in chains

That I can’t confess

Judgmental eyes will look at me as less

Outer cycles

Inner press

A weight I can’t contest

Passion…

Off this I feed

A demented obsession with no safety

Sleeps and awakens

Hides and seeks

Unwanted but stirs

For more

Wanting more

How much more?

Within this curse my gift pours

As if I’m fated only to define and reveal

Pen out every moment in detail that I feel

Smile; I write

Cry; I quote lines

Passion…

When it speaks

Emotions bare words to open and bleed

Words form phrases and deliciously meet

Baring my soul for everyone to see

It’s maddening

A never ending disease

A force with no reckon

An uncontrolled beckon

Flames in all I imagine

Unstoppable when tapped in

There’s no measure

Lots of pressure

Vibes of pleasure

A golden treasure

That aches till I’m blind

Rhythm and rhymes

Carrie over from night skies

To sunrise

This spirit flies

Floats on truth

But drowns in lies

Passion…

Causes me to see things inversely

The blame of why I take to life differently

I sense more than the normal being

I thrive on and pay attention to my feeling

It suffocates until I can’t breathe

These burnings

and yearnings

They empty

In the mix of heat

Of deleted scenes

In all that I ink

It drives my heart to pound out of beat

Passion…

 

Can you hear it?

Author's Note

The metrica and flow come close to perfection, outstanding but I wouldn't have dislked to see a bit more pathos :)

[kannerjay]

WOW :O

[Sagar Waingankar]

Nice work ... Beautiful pairing of words! Message seems to fly with it's note after very few lines! It's quite difficult to do that but when words starts flowing it carries the enthusiasm!

[Lina Grey]

I think all true writers feel this way about their work. It's very intense and I'm sure you did wonderfully with it and will do just as well with the next one. I read this outloud to try to imitate you and get the full effect like your listeners did. It is an amazing piece. Thank you.

[Poetic Beauty]

A true poet/writer.feels.a calling to put words on paper. Our muses bellow at us until we get the thought/emotions down. It pours from our souls like music pours from a musician's. It is never ending

[Ezel_Amaru]

Sick piece loved the rhyme scheme, and u stayed on course with ur message

A demented obsession with no safety Sleeps and awakens Hides and seeks Unwanted but stirs For more Wanting more How much more? Within this curse my gift pours As if I’m fated only to define and reveal Pen out every moment in detail that I feel"
