Thoughts flow from my mind forming words and phrases on paper as would an artist fill a canvas with his images.

The Poet’s Soul
The tortured soul I know it well
It’s angst and sorrow ebbs and swells
Heart beating in its ivory cage
Pounding out its bitter rage
The burning cyclone from within
Blazing fire; fury’s sin
It casts into cyclonic haze
The ever-present endless maze
Caught up in the fury’s spell
The joy rides erupt into hell
The sunlight casts it out again
The torrent slowing to a spin
The spin cascades into a flow
The Poet’s Soul I live and know
The flow a long awaited tease
Before the torrent steals reprieve

Well, a bit about me. I've been writing poetry since I was 17. Wow, 20 years. Never really thought about how long that is until now! Anyway, I am also in the process of writing a fantasy novel, hopefully the first of a trilogy I have mapped out in my mind. I love computers; RPG's, website design, writing on them, fixing them, and just about anything else you can do on them... barring a few of the less palatable things. I love animals and have 2 birds, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. One big and one little of each of them. I have two beautiful daughters, one of which writes also. I also have a wonderful new husband who has taught me to ride a motorcycle. (Great fun) If you want to get to know me better you will just have to read my poetry!

Slowely she climbs
Delicately tapping out her joy

-
Beating a rhythmic tempo
Against it's ivory cage
-
Time elapses; trepidatingly, excruciatingly
It drips from its continuum to surround us
-
I see you seething silently
I wish that I could set you free
-
Follow me, now, my sweet child
Let me lead the way
-
Oh, these nights will bare me true
They'll strip me to the core and through

She plays softly,
Humming her praise
