Enigmatic Eros by richard lynn livesay

There is a human quest to be your best

To travel seas, to see your wings in flight

To travel on, to express your crest

To open doors and explore creative cores

To be alive, let passions flow unbridled

And see how far you can leap off floors

Growth takes some time, worth every dime

To feel potential, create from the heart and soul

Sing your song for you belong in life sweet chime

Research your craft, enjoy, even laugh

Have a good time, play with rhythm and rhyme

Be authentic, reveal yourself like a spring calf

Words are the best that we’ve got to jot

Open up, to your muse coming through

Then re-read out loud and remove what is not

Remember your readers must enjoy the ride

It’s a performance, an artistic endeavor

A revealing of feeling, have a personal pride

It’s like riding a bicycle once you learn how

You’ll reach a point where it naturally floats

And the words will flow like a cat’s meow

Poets have written for thousands of years in time

And some write that have Master degrees to flaunt

But something comes from the soul, not mind

Many artists are taught to copy the masters

Then express themselves after that task is done

How serious are you about moving to greener pastures?
