Mine Is The Voice Of Music

Mine is the voice
Of music
Unobligated to words
Of brazen message
But to insinuate
Above and
Beyond power
Of verbal language.


How I envy that rival
Who says abstractly
All and more
Than my halting
Harsh and lame words
Without blame or censure.
Yet I bow before her
Contrite for my inferiority -
But grateful that she exists
To vindicate me -
My words -
Longer than history
Can decipher
And more poignantly
Than I invite.


 


Written by Addie W. Williams


. Dated August 1985

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
