Death of the Poet

No matter how you unspell that word it comes at you like a knife wielding maniac determined to destroy your sense of proportion, but when it ends in ashes and midnight sings the blues a poet can again make love to her darling suffering muse.
*When you dare to love you toy with pain*

love your slashy playfulness…
LOL Thank you E! I’m a knife wielding swash buckling slashy little bastard from way back lol
Behold the quickest way to unspell from out of vole and into love, one altered letter at a time by word association, without winding up looking like a maniac who’s wielding a knife!
vole
dole
dove
love
LOL Brad, I KNEW this would pull you out of the shadows! Just because I’m fucking around with the words and being my foolish self. I like your spin on this and yes we need to associate those words properly to tone down the maniacishness!
Thank you Guy! Ah, the pain of love is the food of the muse I feel.
Oy, I hope not, Val – I prefer its gentle side… Nice one.
LOL Denise I like the gentle side too. I was just having feelings about life and love, applying it to the soul of all poets. Poets really are them most pragmatic of people because whatever happens to us we mine it for material. Yes, we are practical people at heart.
So true, Val, we DO mine it for every nuance of feeling we can get out of it! I think when we love we actually open ourselves up to pain. Maybe we are masochists at heart, lol!
When you dare to love you toy with pain.
Do you know what? I like that line so much I’m adding it to the poem and giving you credit! THIS is what I love about the comment section of blogs, we toss the poetry back and forth. Thank you for this msloftis
I hope you come back again to read!
LIFE OH LIFE
The poet never dies
Or maybe he did
But before finding life
In the typing of unknown signs
Flavours and smells his hand
Discovers when stripping leaves
One by one
While the heat is charming
This universe which becomes
His inner world
