A Poet Speaks
by Dale Clark → (All Poetry by Dale Clark)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

a poet speaks
who listens to the silence
phantoms of the night
shadows in the corners
sliding down the walls
following sun down
into the fading dusk

the muse sparks
a fire in a poet’s heart
starting a chain of thought
resulting in confused scribbling
on ink stained napkins
scratched into the neon glow
the night releases the ghosts

the pen pulsates
in the hand of the messenger
writing without movement
thinking without thought
gravitates towards another heart
which beats in rhythm
with the madness

the pulse quickens
at the stroke of midnight
awakening dreaming souls
leading them into wakeful watching
above the body they inhabit
to float into the words of rhyme
a world without time

a poet speaks

listen to the silence

Your choice of words to get across your ideas is excellent, and so is the flow you establish in your writing. This is an excellent poem. Bill Murray

YES! "...the muse sparks
a fire in a poet’s heart
starting a chain of thought
resulting in confused scribbling
on ink stained napkins..."

Don't you just hate it that happens?!!Sharing the "feel" of this one; I understand.

:) Very middle-of-the-night-the-best-time-to-write feel to this, CJ! :) Really, though, it speaks volumes and resounds, silently.
