Poetry in Motion

Electric are the words
That resonate in waves
Thoughts processed
Wave like matter - anti-matter
Real - surreal
FEEL!
Laughter, fear, tears
Staged upon a play
Play with words
Not heard but read
Visions created
Light strokes upon a canvas
Stippled for texture
Chunk - swipe - whoosh
Elaborate shadows
Mirrored reflections
A story possessed
The character idle/idol moves
The verse allows
Read, see, feel...

Where lies creation? Tis only in the mind which set into motion that which would otherwise be stagnant. Stagnant stallions cannot produce the juice needed to replicate. Replication for the magnification upon closer inspection. The inspector realizes tis naught of fowl play as the chicken has flown the coop! Cooped up and kept from flying with wings that are useless for flight. Speak with the falcon! Evolve and be more than meat. Meet thy maker and question the foul nature of circumstance. Oh penguin I relate to thee, but I want to ask "WHO" like the owl who questions in the night. Take sight and flight when large eyes scope a mouse unaware. No scare. Tis the order. Nature calls! The wolf howls. Mate heard upon the ledge in the light of the full moon. Neck rises to the vocal. Voice speaks whispers into ears that want to hear over screams that have been magnified by heart. Listen carefully for the comfort. Comfortably numb. Numbed out of feeling. Feeling too much. The hurt is endless. Shall I go on? Yes! Swine is pork not to poke fun at pigs who live but for hate. Self-hate...self-mutilation...mutation *sans salvation **save from the self! Empowered enabled labeled FREE! Free me! I free you says me to me!
