On Writing (Part 2) 4/23/2013 5:37:52 AM
If I were to be honest and confess to any fear it would be that I`m not sure people would want to know me in real life.I have face Book friends and some read my poems and Blogs. I guess I wonder what they really think when they read my sharing of my thoughts.The writing life can be another place where I feel free to be me.I am not eager for family and friends and co-workers to all of a sudden realize the passions i have secretly. When I write I become honest about what I feel is important. Some would rather that poets and writers only talk a certain way. If I talked like this in my Blogs and did the same on face book who knows how fast I would be banned.
Some might think : what kind of imaginary world do you live in``some friends text constantly on their phones their thoughts and feelings. For me it flows like a rushing river from paper to pen and pen to soul.My passionate Romantic side comes out in poetry
so many in real life might come across me and say
`I know _______`but they don`t--not really
we all say the same accepted ways of talking:
How are you
Fine
and you
Good -Thanks
When I write I allow my mind to run past the edges of lined paper, let it slip into the pools of colored imagination into worlds I cannot begin to describe.
Some who follow me on Twitter I am sure wonder if I am really just a machine gushing out thoughts so often. I often wonder how musicians and artists deal with the creativity knocking on their worlds like an approaching meteorite
`ok you got my attention-now what do I do with you
sometimes its like the old Kenny Rogers song
`Know when to hold them
know when to walk away
Sometimes its best to hold people at a distance--as maybe if we met in real life they might not like what they see
I am a man of deep Romantic Passion
in Love with Words
sometimes I prefer the dark
the Mysterious and some illusions are best never to be shattered and that is not news BUT that too is reality
