Long Song of Celebration (pt.III)

Beautiful imagery, my favorite part of any season
coffee and cigarettes, early morning love poems,
simple, elemental, and heart felt.
One smells the breath, feels the touch of death, humane and deeply personal within the words of a wise elder, a man who has truly lived and learned during his time
something strange happens when poets
stay up to greet the sunrise.

a blue star! empyrean illumination
One bright spot breeds creativity
Ardent passions, Eloquent emotion
from infinite enlightened hearts,
upholding the healthy, well rounded
all encompassing timeless message of life!

Love's jovial mania, Perfect mesh between emotion and imagination,
A joyous anthem of the heart, to which any true lover can relate!
imagery that Develops grows flourishes and flows
Strong, straight forward emotion is universal,
you feel it hitting you, hard,
when you read the poem,

If I could reach through this screen and hug you, I would.
the struggle conveyed, the feeling, that's half the struggle, sensitivity will carry you

The vein is a well spring of pain and emotion,
Two key components in the poetic formula
artistic expression is the best way to put
personal tribulations in their proper perspective
fragile human state, so fragile even empty words have
the power to bring us down.
Young love carves gulches in the heart,
The deeper the suffering,
the more immense our capacity for future love becomes,
a soft palatable human quality to the pain expressed in great works.
