Comotion Poem by Lola Romero

your words have suddenly come alive
if you do or if you dont or if you die
it dont matter
i dont need to flatter
your intensity, because you already know
you've already shown
how much knowledge and meaning and soul
that you have accepted and grown
the challanges come willingly
my praise will come spilling free
making me laugh and cry
no more reason to die
only to fight and to stay alive
and then all at once you realize
that you had it inside
the whole time
it just took one line
and then you broke free
flying so high, smelling the roses
just like a bee
sending a smile to me
at last we both can see
the power and magic the written word can uphold
wam bam and then befold
before you
id never ignore you
take a look at what you have been through
its all there
in the air
just wow! it blew me away
took me away
breath is gone but i still gotta say
how amazingly well it was to convey
those thoughts and emotions
mixed like great potions
and now that you've sold 'em
its time to control them
and know 'em
you own them
they're yours
forever and now
not mine, not his,
they belong to the sage of souls
deep and dark
but still alive like burnt coals
the light is just coming from the spark
so let the magic live on

it is not about the confiscations of our time
or the limitations of our mind
it is about the love that you live for
the dream that you die for
the earnings and the burnings and the yearnings
that you cry for
and one thing is for sure
when you walk against the hot concrete
you are placing your soul
into your feet
into the ground
burying yourself
to never be found
and let me tell you this,
it can all dissapear
your ideals, your motives, your ethics,
with a simple kiss
in a flash they are gone
right or wrong
walking the thin line
between self control
and self abuse
staggering drunkenly between the two
your chances are few
so hurry up and take them
dont you dare forsake them
they want you
they need you
they care for you, its true
so you got to be the man
i know you can be
see the dreams
i know you can see
and live the life you know that you need
be proud
be loud
and soon you will thank me
