‘I speak to paper’: to tame, my surrender
Gary Edward Geraci said:
I enjoyed the chase required of me so that I might, at least partially, come to understand your intellectual/philosophical poem. Yes, I had to look up both the philosopher and the French language used. This was enjoyable and so I thank you for the well thought out sentiments conveyed here. While I’m more inclined now (and experienced) to freely offer myself to others without any anticipation of payback - this was learned - and initially willed - against the forces of an objecting human nature. So self-love is partially responsible even in practicing the virtue of religion. But then the unmerited grace of God begins to assist and one really becomes cognizant of changes in oneself that go beyond that which could have been personally willed ... ah, it’s better experienced than described. And that’s my constant challenge as a poet, perhaps yours as well.

Quite profound, if I allow the rules to guide me, then be it so, but I never let it distract me from the pleasure of rhymes and rhythm, in poetry as well as life

It\'s so important to differentiate oneself, specially when it comes to poetry, as you have so eloquently done here.

Clever write Mek, it is a shame that their awareness does not come to help the poor souls of whom they are aware.

poetic license is often referred to but just as oft completely misunderstood ...
tis infinitely possible of course to get hooked pon those deceivingly soft n gentle thorns that also double as a lovers lips or fingertips .. or even poetry itself methinks ....
I may be a million miles off centre, but I know what I both mean and like ... and I mean, I like this page my friend ....

How true. No form or certificate can contain us. We are free will individuals. A mix of saints and sinners, black or white, qualified or not \"legitimate\" or not. Shamed by authorities who would consign us to \"type\".

Very well written Mek, those early nerves when staring to play at a concert are eventually overcome as the music takes over your body as it obviously does to the young lady in the clip.
It used to be that way with me but I played in groups not as an individual.

Those early stage nerves before we start playing. The playing is of course the easy part, we have practiced and rehearsed so often to get here. And of course the music is good so now everyone relaxes, self included.
Yes, I remember similar nerves from early performances which for me began at eighteen and i was solo singing which is even more \'personal\' than solo instrument which i later went on to.
Well depicted piece from you.
