Your Most Beautiful Art

Accidental Poet



 

Where do you go to

When your heart needs to bleed

Drops of blood as words on the page

Your heart’s story to read

 

There in your writer’s den

Or somewhere outdoors

A place where your thoughts are free

And they know what they’re for

 

As you tap into your heart

Your Muse waits for you there

To search elusive words

That your soul needs to bare

 

You may draw upon the darkness

Or invite the light

When you find what you searched for

You’ll be employed to write

 

In the theater of love

A song on center stage

As you cry your heart out

Let it land upon the page

 

You were born to be a poet

Of this you’ll not deny

When it comes without effort

No need to wonder why

 

So go where you will

Search the universe of your heart

For when you put pen to paper

Your most beautiful art

            I'm a bit of a sentimentalist so the first stanza
            "Where do you go to
            When your heart needs to bleed
            Drops of blood as words on the page
            Your heart’s story to read"
            sucked me in. A great write that states what most of us feel.

              • Bella Shepard

                It is there inside you, in the nooks and crannies of your being, waiting to be discovered and set free. Beautiful words dear poet, written as only one who loves his craft can.

                • Accidental Poet

                  And that I do, thank you Bella. 😉

                • Alan R

                  I had to stop at the first four lines, breathe, feel, soak it in, then read it furthur and it continued like that, almost every four lines...its brilliant

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Thank you Alan, I had to reread my own poem to understand what you were referring to. Glad it had a positive effect on you. Have a great day. 😊

                  • John Lee

                    Excellent! I love to just visit that place, and embrace the silence at times. To pray, to listen, or just let my heart breathe.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Thanks JohnLee, that place may be different for everyone, but in that place that inspires you to write is a magical place. Keep your quill wet. 😉👍
