Poetry Is

Poetry Is….

Intangible.

Invisible chords rip through body, mind, and soul,

Gripping all that is substance within

And churning it,

Molding it into paper and pen.

 

Indelible.

Stains of blood-soaked ink splattered onto pages

The hurried marks of a novice.

Scratches on white,

The birthing of woman into Goddess.

 

Quintessential.

Shards of crystalline light pierce blackened veils,

Prisms of perfection.

Glittering glimpses of Utopia,

Nirvana remembered, the purity of connection.

 

Visceral.

Fragmented emotions stitched into metaphors.

Fibers of phrases wrenching

Alliteration from the heart.

Voices of silence breathing in, quenching.

 

Truth.

Bare-boned lyrics of the unbidden,

Undressing reticent screams

And exposing tight-lipped skeletons

Stripping jewels from the remains.

JL Willing is a fantasy and fiction writer from GA. When she isn't writing, or thinking about writing, or reading (which is really just preparation for writing), you can find her cuddling up with her beloved Austrailian Shephard, Bella, or consistently losing the battle against the chaos and mass destruction her two extremely energetic boys create. JL has a passion for inspiring and encouraging other writers to follow their dreams. She is also a humanitarian at heart and believes in the empowerment of women and equality for all. You will find that her articles cover topics ranging from environmental awareness, feminism, educational reform, and inspirational messages intended to help others live more authentic, joy-filled lives.
