Prelude 2

some bubble
to the surface
seeking expression
others spring, leap
and ooze --

regardless of how
and in what manner
they arrive
they all find expression

erupting from the agonies
and ecstasies of life/experience --
they all have something in common,
they are never pedestrian
or hum-drum

they originate from wild oscillations
of the heart and soul
charged emotion bursting from
deep within the psyche of the artist

some issue like
organised conferences
workman like
others spurt like semen
from an erect phallus
(see it?)

some shudder and pulse forth
in excitation
but the result is the same,
a fine piece of work

few describe the origination
and incubation prior to
emergence, so i will do my best

when they approach a slight
tugging is felt in the solar plexus
a mild urgency grips being,
a cognitive/autistic agitation

they work their way
around the heart to the limbus
and brain
to erupt through the aperture
at the crown of the head --
they have entered
the formative phase
as i write now
on a medium

it's almost done,
a tweak here
an adjustment there
and we have a
poem

rather than write a poem
i have written a prelude
to a poem but lacking
that special quality
that pure poetry is able to deliver
