words untamed - an original poem

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Words untamed...


Words are never subjugated by a writer
but rather only set free
by fixing them to the paper with a pen
an enigma for sure
from insubstantial brain chatter
to crispy clarity in black and white
the flow of thoughts and memories untamed
rough at first then finished in shiny jet
the mind blinks to clear the imprint
of light's play on the words on paper
both nemesis and saviour
from a place of pain and misery
the complex blend of words leads
to relief and peace of mind

I hope you enjoyed this little poem as much as it relieved me to write it.

I did not post a poem for a while, there were a few reasons for that. The main reason was that I was working on so many things at the same time. I was trying to set up a business but it did not come together, rules and regulations... Also we @poetsunited were working to make our community more visible and effective, often many hours a day and 'till deep in the night. If you are curious about that just visit the brand new @poetsunited blog page or our equally new website poetsunited.org . We have also instituted a new role: "subscriber" which gives the subscribers some real nice perks!

I hope to be able to write more poetry again but there's still a lot of work to do for our community as well, like writing tutorials, community reports and contests. We're soon also restarting the Daily Dose.

crossing the rubicon
if the shoe fits...
true love never dies
if you're not confused
too dangerous to touch
a tale of eleven cities
consumed by consumption
return to innocence
she burns bright
chaos and order
my valentine
a limerick about my birthday
a circle shaped short story (J.A.S.E.)
luctor et emergo
a poetic poetry review - daily dose 24
an experiment with word shape and meaning
excercise with shape and words
coincidence?
fifty - fifty
feelings in motion
my drowning land
nothing from nothing
infinite bandwidth
just a limerick
i've always been me
life is suffering
An anecdotal poetry experiment
When it rains it pours
Dreaming about Steeming
For the love of stones
Mind, body and soul
United dreams
Talk about addiction

There is no greater satisfaction than getting those fast fleeting fractured thoughts down on solid paper! Thanks for sharing my friend!

I'd missed this flow of urs. Good to see you're back.

....the flow of thoughts and memories untamed
rough at first then finished in shiny jet...

Sometimes the words wake me in the middle of the night and I have to write it down so I can get some more sleep. :) Your poem summed it up ;D

Hahaha, very recognaizable, that's why I have a noteblock and a pen next to my bed. To me it happens mostly when I am neither awake or asleep. Thanks for your comment!

Very glad you're back at it mate, I love the sounds of this one, I can hear your radio voice reading it, it's very profound and should talk to any words lover.

Thanks man! When i wrote the first few lines i knew i was on to something, it didn't take much when i got home it was finished in no time :D

I'm not surprised, it sounds very fluid and natural :)
