[hometext] => This is Spoken Word....it's about how poetry has helped me through life.
[bodytext] => What does Poetry mean to me? What does it mean to a slave to be free? what do numbers mean to a mathematician? What does hearing mean to a musician? What does carbon dioxide mean to the trees? What does aquatic life mean to the seas? Poetry is rooted deep within my soul Without it existence is no more than a black hole It has been by my side since before I can remember Poetry has been there to love me, heal me and hold ME tender It's let me relive my discontent, painful life It's been to me the softest fur and the sharpest knife It's a constant reminder of age old fears taking form But even when I'm torn it's embracing my soul and keeping me warm It's been there to break my fall and to rest wearily upon Poetry helps me to communicate with those who've long gone My emotions saturating the paper as I write Taking away all traces of suffering from this plight Called life, easing my sorrows and mending my quartered mind The endless reminder that I AM NOT the last of my kind I spill my cup of experience onto each and every sheet Providing the only way to date that I can freely speak Poetry Is me Is my blood IS my body IS my essence If it left me my soul would surely follow it to the heavens Inside I'd shrivel and decompose, leaving behind just a shell A heartbeat would remain, but no spirit there would dwell You see Poetry and I became ONE as I slid from the canal of birth And Poetry will be with me far beyond my body becoming one with this earth Now you know just a touch of what Poetry means to me It is my way of survival, my best friend, and what it means to ME To be free.

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. ©
