Diametrically opposed, in every sense of the word, is where I find myself with these two pieces, but they do a great job of highlighting the good and the bad of existing. The expression versus the silence. But it’s not only the good and bad which surround us as writers but what inspires us all as humans, what drives us to express or not. The topics we discuss and the context ranges from every corner of being and encompasses every facet of living as well as what we dare and don’t dare to bring to the surface.
Dear Poets, Writers
Dedicated to you all
You are the indigo riding my mind
The purple wisdom in my bosom
The logic that becomes my instinct
The instinct that pulls my gut
Your priceless ink shapes emerald words
Like blooms woven in the white of paper
You are
The calming in the wild beating of my heart
Adrenaline pulsing my blood stream
The dreams behind my eyelids
The taste of music on my lips as I sing
The songs that still the rising chaos of a thousand pleas
My wired mind magnetized by the sage brilliance
That nourishes the trust
You perfect the poetry
You become the poetry
The PoetPerfect.

spin around a world of rue
the silence that hems

Thank you Susi for pubishing the works of three of my favorite authors. Go swipe something from Bruce “Juice” Jewett (and perhaps make him find – or you do it! – an accomplice for this delightful salmaundi.
