I am becoming

Aa Harvey



I am becoming.

 

 

Perception; reality.

Every human mind has its own duality.

Our good side, our bad side;

Life seems to always get the best of me.

Empty, of anything, that they claim to know that I need.

So empty, of feeling,

When all who criticize become unworthy of truly interpreting me.

 

 

Without a voice, I am powerless.

Situations arise that give me strength to confess, that I am a mess.

Disorganized, my thoughts are hidden underneath;

I search the depths of my soul to see what I can reap.

Words all scrambled; put them into order.

The writings of a word-thief in a mind of word-warder’s.

 

 

Left speechless, when all I say is meaningless.

The canvas is not unused, it has just not been revealed yet.

Artists are there at the start of things;

I am but a binary star upon a life made from strings.

 

 

Pull my rip-cord and let the words all flow;

Embrace the darkness we keep inside and let it show.

I am your Pinocchio.

You are my puppet mistress and my eternal muse;

I am just a thing to be used to amuse.

Your touch of love upon my love heart in pieces,

Let’s me become a ray of light inspired by your wish for a sun

And could you give me a hug please?

All light flows from your soul into me;

I breathe you in to let you see what I hide within.

 

 

I am becoming a better man, now I am being a better human being;

I am growing into the lover I always thought I could become.

You take away the fear and let me become what I should have been.

It is because of you that I am able to become something from nothing

And now this poem is written and your heart has been won…

Now my work is done.

    Love the line "the canvas is not unused, it has just not been revealed yet"! Your poem touched me deeply. -- phoenix

    • Aa Harvey

      Thank you.

      That line was inspired by an artist
      (I don't know his or her name '(a)')
      who gave another artist
      (I don't know his or her name '(b)')
      a painting they had created and the other artist (b) scratched all the paint off the original painting by (a) and presented the faded painting as a new piece of artwork.

      To me it means the words to my poetry are already inside my mind, I just have to find them.

            Love sheds light on duality so you can become all you are meant to be. Love the way you expressed.
