"The Magical Force"
(a poem in Chant Royal 2)
-
Your heart shall feel it wherever you go,
Her voice shall speak the thoughts that make you free
It comes suddenly and you do not know
That you're under the wings of poetry.
Hush! Hush! In the deep silence of the night,
With the luminous moonbeams gleaming bright,
The pen utters what the soul wants to say
You wish to stop but words can't move away
You throw the pen and yet it never breaks,
No cracks, its simple form and beauty stays
Within you is a strong force that awakes.
-
You see the stars, the glitters on their glow
Then the mind journeys from huge fantasy
To a place of a nocturnal rainbow
Attached to the skies of reality.
Wonderful images appear on sight
And now the ink whispers for you to write,
You try to resist, the paper shouts "nay!"
You have no choice but to weave and obey,
The hours of sleep and rest, away it takes
And yet you feel alive, puissant, and gay.
Within you is a strong force that awakes.
-
Great colors are drawn as emotions flow,
The brushstrokes wipe the tears of agony
And new sketches redeem your sorrow;
Sweet portraits of forgotten misery.
At last, you see that poetry is light,
At last, the heart feels its power and might
You were once caged and now you find the way,
It opens you a never been seen day,
An enigmatic meaning each verse makes,
There is that "something" you want to convey:
Within you is a strong force that awakes.
-
An instrument of love your rhythms play,
Infinite horizons your words portray
You are a potter; a craft your soul bakes,
Life's rhymes and metaphors become your clay,
Within you is a strong force that awakes.
