For The Love of The Poet

by Aberjhani — Read all 107 poems by Aberjhani

One of the first poems written in the series based on the art of Luther E. Vann and taken from our forthcoming book, "Elemental," published by Bonaventure Books.

Monday, December 27, 2004


 


Your rhymes are rarely
phonetic
but rather you match
images with meanings and golden-hued possibilities.


I want a life just like that,
where the outside skin of everything
is as sweet and sticky as inside.


Your meter refuses
to restrain itself
runs wild like a herd of psychedelic be-bops
setting fire between the knees
of an otherwise cool Saturday night.


I want to love that way.
Creating a new color for each sky
believing itself a blue limitation.


And your voice (Ahhh that thundering
planet of a voice) your voice
like a magician repairing
shattered imaginations
like a physician unpuzzling the magic
of the absence of love in his touch.


That’s how I want to be reborn:
thoroughly reeking with liberation’s blood
and glittery with the flames of all naked joy.  

 
  The Black Skylark Z-Ped Music Player

I love the imagery and personification that resides within all of your poetry. Emotions spawned by words stand out over mere words....

Excellent Write,

This is the best poem I have read in a very long time. My heart smiled as I read. Terrific similies here - and so many good lines.
"setting fire between the knees
of an otherwise cool Saturday night." <--- love this line.

Best,

When the eye of the poet is the lense of the "I" - his hearts feels wonders and his soul transcribes the arcane of beauty,-
"For The Love of The Poet" is the way to his soul.

The rebirth time is now, "For The Love of The Poet" shows that the twenty-first century is the revelation time of Poetry.

Thank you for enriching Mankind's history with the scent of knowledge and creative inspiration.
