Where to find me...

Oceans
not here
deep waters
I fear
the terror of drowning
a roaring I hear
from too many questions
and no answers near
a sea of emotions
the salt of a tear.

Cities
not there
too many blocks
all far too square
thousands of strangers
a vanity fair
millions of voices
such a hungry loud bear
and bodies which shove
and hands that do tear.

Meetings
of three
you won't
find me
rather wander alone
I say two form the key
Any number beyond that
And a crowd I do see
My small frightened soul
will be longing to flee.

Mountains
so high
enjoy
touching the sky
rocks slowly breathing
their time you can't buy
ancient forces that humble
every self obsessed cry
their shadows to free you
from ego's shackle and tie.

Deserts
I love
ever so quiet
sharp clearness above
red ball agleaming
no hawk and no dove
cosmos and self
inside a fiery glove
dreams of dispersing
that's purity tough.

Though Forests..
true home
lowly branches
my comb
everywhere I can hide
with the deers I can roam
patient trees will grant hold
far from faces of chrome
here I dance and I sing
under the leafy green dome...

About this poem:
I sat down and wrote this after looking at a great artist's website, located here www.stuster.exto.org
I saw heaps of pictures, many it seemed to me having to do with oceans and water, and I pondered that this probably means the artist has a connection with oceans somehow. That inspired me asking myself why I do and do not like certain 'places'. This poem sprang from those thoughts, and it doesn't flow as well as I'd like it to flow, but never mind, I enjoyed writing it anyway ^_^

Hi, tinyfangs,
It is nice to contemplate Where to find me.... and even nicer when the poet can share those thoughts in verses that illuminate. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all so much for not picking up on the not so great flow of this poem blushing blushing blushing I am more used to story telling, also in poetry, plus I am a bit like Dorothy's tinman I am afraid, my writing needs oiling giggle

Yes, I definitely felt the deepest when I wrote the last part. That's when my heart opened, Serenity4two ^_^

TF.. writing in the abstract is free flowing and quite enlightening as well. You have described places and how they make you feel in this poem. In this respect that resonates a lot of meaning for you and how you reflect which is very good. wine
