"This existential ecstasy which we share like a kiss"

This Quixotic Quest Called Poetry

Nobody believes in me except for God and you
But as long as he will lead me and you will read me
I have everything I need to make my dream come true
They used to call me lazy now they call me crazy
I admit to the latter but it does not matter
Nothing can stop me from doing what I came to do
I was sent and so I went and here I am today
To write my songs and right my wrongs: this is the way I pray

I cannot see the road ahead but simply follow
The steps the living and the dead have traced before me
With the certain tread of sky above and earth below
Beside the sea and through the fire into destiny
The elements in equipoise God and you and this
Quixotic quest called poetry which is nothing less
Than the reason I exist this madness I confess
This existential ecstasy which we share like a kiss

Share with me please bear with me stay with me through this night
God and I believe in you: come let us look for light

Another noble quest, Don Quixote! We raise our s.words and Lance the virtual spinning pages, black blood dripping under our fingers... each f(l)ight of fancy to be judged successful or rediculous, and it might get us down. But Lance, Dulcenea is trapped in every poet's mind somewhere, disguised as some lowly nursery rhyme, yearning to break free-- to be the poem worth writ(h)ing for. S.words at your fingertips, write on... --Charlie

Steven,

This Quixotic Quest Called Poetry is a journey well worth taking, worth the tears, the fears. If only one person reads, my mission has been accomplished. :) Beautiful inspiration, very well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
