    Untitled

    Somewhere mixed between that moment of first seeing you
    and the moment the first word was put on this paper
    I realized my strength becoming my weakness
    I felt joy sipping from the same cup as fear
    My happiness even shed a tear
    I laid on the clouds and looked up into the ocean
    The moon burned my eyes
    and the sun kissed me so softly
    My son called me grandson
    and he told me about his past
    The good ol days of when
    Barak Obama was the king of jazz
    The roots of pine trees were reaching up to heaven
    and the stars were bottled up in jars
    Blind men were running races
    and the prize for victory was scars
    My words chose me wisely
    My prayers sent me up above
    to enter into a room of confusion
    and realize that I was just in love...with you!

    how much beauty! both in imagery and super clever juxtapositioning. every line is like being flung with a bungee rope. how great is: "i felt joy sipping from the same cup as fear"! needs a re-write, but i give it a 10!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
