Realms

i know what you want to read
but i am not going to write that
i am not going to go that way
unless you take me along
unless you dot my i's and cross my t's
i am not going to write
what you want to read.

so listen up now
hold the pencil in my hand
and teach me to write
what you want to read.

Wow, this is so thought provoking. I think we all need this. Writing poetry is, essentially, a selfish thing, but in sharing it we reveal our hearts which is unselfish. I keep reading it over and over again!

It's right there, before "before", so overwhelming that it is hard to make out. A transparent mirror. You have all my attention.

I love how selfish this poem is. You're bringing new dimensions into your chosen subject matter. It makes me excited to read more of your work.
