Give me a reason

Aa Harvey

Give me a reason.

 

 

One poem a day; that is my goal.

I must write something each night or day and show you my soul.

My collection of written words will never be whole,

For it is constantly expanding, as I continue to grow old.

 

 

I hope I am worthy of doing this well,

For my poetry is my love and I have many stories to tell.

I will speak of fantasy worlds I dream up inside my mind

And speak the truth whenever necessary, to make the words rhyme.

 

 

If you like what I write, then give me some encouragement;

If you have apathy to my poetry,

Then seek another to give your mind its nourishment.

If you take offence at something I have written,

Then I apologise.  That is not what I meant,

To do; all I wanted was to show you how I feel,

About that particular subject and now my vessel is spent.

 

 

Each poem is unique and should be judged by its own content,

Not compared to another and held up in judgment.

I shall forever write poetry,

For I shall forever seek and gain enlightenment.

 

 

I am love, I am fallen,

I am many faces of many men.

I am man, I am woman,

I am myself and many others.

I am right, I am wrong,

I am the son of my mother.

I could end up becoming your lover,

But I shall never proclaim to be anything more than I am; my reader.

 

 

You are a part of my life now; you have peered into my mind

And I do hope you have had a nice time reading my lines.

I must find a way of getting my mind and body to conspire;

So I set myself goals to strive for, to keep me inspired.

 

 

I motivate myself to continue to write,

By wishing to improve all the time and searching for that next line.

It’s hidden in my mind somewhere,

I just have to find it.

My next goal is to write my thousandth poem

And I have my eye on it.

 

 

This will feed me the fuel I need to write another poem

And to each of you I shall continue showing,

How I feel at the moment the poem is created.

My thoughts shall forever evolve,

But my lust for writing shall never be sated.

Only seventy five to go now to reach my next goal.

One poem at a time, I am getting closer to satisfying my ego.

    • Aa Harvey

      Thanx. This poem is a few month old now, so I have already passed 1000 poems (it felt good to reach that many, because when I began I was just happy to have written my first poem and song.) I'm on 1176 at the moment and I have eight poems to write into my books today so it seems to be working.

          Hi,

          An astonishing write and I enjoyed reading this. ...let's dig some gems here

          I am love, I am fallen,
          I am many faces of many men.
          I am man, I am woman,
          I am myself and many others.
          I am right, I am wrong,
          I am the son of my mother.
          I could end up becoming your lover,
          But I shall never proclaim to be anything more than I am; my reader.

          ^^^^^
          this particular stanza keeps running into my head. . it's like a song. ... and I love it....

          I like how you contradict yourself here
          a paradoxical stanza. ..

          Well done. ..

            Thank you. It is really nice when someone says they like my poem and I am glad you have shown me your particular favourite part of the poem, because other people may have a different part of a poem they like, but I can tell you...the biggest influence on verses like this is Kurt Cobain when he writes about opposites like he does in Come as you are and in Lithium when he says 'I'm so excited I can't wait to meet you there, but I don't care.' I like to find opposites when I write.
