Duteous

creative writing 1 Minute 
 
 From divine stars  
 I fell from beyond the universe
 Eon after eon and then some  
 As merely a speck of nothingness
 Through all shades of darkness  
 Until I crossed over 
 To be caught drifting in light  
 And my breath was gifted  
 And I- became  
 So I could live- this life
 For the singular purpose  
 Just to behold you
 With thine own… eyes

If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between the metaphoric lines. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unwritable things never whispered of. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed. But, otherwise, I’m a deep visualizing poet creating particular facets, not only line by line but even the shades and innuendo between them; to the point that, I can get so comfortably caught up in my imaginations first imperfect draft that I sometimes just move in to stay there… rhetorical, spelling, grammar, mechanics be damn, nothing in life is that perfect. I don’t need tailor-made, I need someone/something to fit well enough that it becomes fashionable for me to wear well. I don’t need to pretend to know everything and I resist pontificating those things I’m well versed in. I'm just a simple romantic at heart waiting on a perfect storm to completely sweep over me like gentle fresh dawn. In the meantime, I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish.

  3. God, it’s so consistently good. You need to stop before I lose my breath. Wow.

    A question – what do you mean by “thine own eyes”? The speaker is beholding somebody he loves with her own eyes? How do you parse the ending?
