As i take the stage

by Thoughts unseen   Mar 16, 2014


You yell and applaud as I take to the stage.
I smile as you cheer as you call out my name.
"You love me"

Line after line I lay claim to your attention.
its mine I own it as you sit back and listen.
"You love me"

Men you feel not the PAIN ON MY MIND!!???
Ladies do you not see the TEARS IN MY EYES!!??
Do you!? DO YOU...
"Love me?"

You selfishly chain my words together!
You limit my imaginative talent forever!
Still you say
"You love me!?"

Set me free!
Allow me to talk without rhymes!
To speak what's inside!
To take you along the ride.
Deep! Deep!......
into the journey of my mind!

Maybe I am crazy and need to get it together.
To be so foolish to think that the poet and the rhyme
Will someday break free from poets, the crowds, who chain them together.

    Well, I am glad that you like my poems. I will continue to read yours and Comment on them :) I did reread this and it kind of left me with alot of questions. Maybe it is because we do not know who is in the audience, or what is going on from there perspective.

    Overall, the poem was beautifully written.

      The audience is the readers of the poet's writings.
      The perspective is coming from the writer.
      I wrote this after reading one of your poems where a person said you should have ruled more. I disagree.
      Most if not all of my poems do not rhyme. I love poems that don't focus so much on rhymes. Its more important to get a real feel for what the writer is saying more than how much they rhyme. Your poem was perfect in my eyes and the person talking in this poem is more less pleading to be accepted as a non rhyming writer who just wants his/her words to be unchained and set free.
