The Language Of My Imagination

The title poem from my book, due out next week.

 

 

 

The Language Of My Imagination 

“Poetry” 

Poetry is a mirror. 

A mirror that I look into every time 

I turn a page or hold a pen, 

A mirror that shows me greatness 

while cradled in the arms of fear, 

It bestows inspiration so I can carve my visions out 

of darkness and use doubt as a canvas to paint my 

destiny causing my regrets to testify 

of birthed dreams... 

“Poetry” 

Poetry is an ocean that allows metaphors to flow 

through continents of creative concepts carrying 

similes like ships fashioned by raw emotion...

 

“Poetry” 

Poetry is an empty house waiting to be furnished 

with God-crafted thoughts, painted by a voice 

crocheted with pain, and lived in by poetic imagery 

that seemingly drips from clouds... 

“Poetry” 

Poetry is a black sky that one can fill with hatred, 

pain, loneliness and it will be interpreted as a starry 

moonlit night that sings a lullaby to the troubled 

mind, lightens the heavy heart that was weighted 

with frustration granting rest... 

“Poetry” 

Poetry is an existence that can be visited with 

curiosity, imagination, and the ability to guess. 

To paint portraits of undreamt dreams, explain the 

unseen all the while underneath a beautiful sunset 

that never sets... 

“Poetry” 

Poetry is the tears or the smile of a pen 

on the face of a piece of paper. 

Poetry simply is... 

The language of my imagination.

Oh I love this, just love this. Needed to read an inspiring piece such as this... Thank you.

So how does a young man such as yourself know about "crochet"... a grandmother perhaps. I crochet just a little and it is the perfect metaphor for this piece... it shows a depth, I don't know... crochet is just yarn, a long, long piece of yarn that creates beautiful blankets and sweaters through a series of intricate knots... lots of counting and measurement go into every piece of work. Usually created by the hands of a loved one.

This is really, really good.

This poem is absolutely amazing. I loved the first lines about poetry being a mirror. It's very revealing about what poetry is and how it can be. Very revealing.
