When Verse Takes Affect (And)

When Verse Takes Affect

There’s a song hanging in me
but it’s going to be written for you,
and somehow that isn’t fair
but it’s the only way to get it through.
So go ahead and steal what little I could reveal with my words
of all this collected vocabulary that I heard.

It goes car rides, white lies and giant shimmering eyes
blue like a moon I’ve never seen.
And one blanket to two bodies tucked away and tight
in a trance between what’s real and a dream.
These are the things I learned were beautiful
when verse takes affect and presses us to be metrical.

Love me originally in a he say cliché,
take what its worth which is measureless.
I guess what’s best is wishing you were lucky
but coming up to find you’re only blessed.
What a funny way to look at something
so serious it amounts to nothing.

And maybe someone other than you could relate
to the same four lines I’ve always used,
mixed around and fixed in a feverish pace
perplexed and punned from being renewed.
As if all the thoughts I thought I had
were everyone else’s thoughts instead.

Because these are the things I learned were beautiful
when verse takes affect and presses us to be metrical.

thank you for your comment.
I like your poems too, very nice.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
