My Words Burn The Paper... Poem by Chuy Amante

My Words Burn The Paper...

Rating: 5.0


Write I do not from the head with much thought,
word hits the paper, photo of heart is caught!
For just a moment raw truth flows out,
I scribble quickly, without any doubt.
I have no rehearsals in this short life,
I'm on the stage always, brandishing my knife!
I live life deeply, seek every drop,
Perhaps on a stage, but never a prop!
Live in the now, set fire to the past,
Be real today, the future lambaste!

I perfectly agree with your philosophy of life! Yes, bury the past.... and enjoy the moment at hand! We cannot have rehearsals in life...... life is rather too short for elaborate preparations....! Act on the spur of the moment....! ! Great thoughts!

loving the rhyming. didn't someone say 'life is but a stage, and we are all (the) actors? ? Brando? ? ? Madonna? i read recently that the future shall become the present. the only present i'm really interested in is the big one under the x-mas tree. the one shaped like Dolly Parton. bri :)
