Unusualy Openhearted
I feel compelled for my own personal satisfaction to give a method to my madness so to speak. Not that I feel my writing needs any explanation for those who read it. In fact I feel that most of the friends I have been lucky enough to establish here are more intelligent than I and I appreciate their insightful comments on my writing. As anyone can probably see, most of my poems contain an epiphany or realization of sort by one of the characters involved. I think that this stems from my almost obsessive need to find a purpose and deeper meanings in all situations. Most of the time I feel like more of a philosopher than a poet but, I guess we all have our mediums of choice for explaining our own views and perceptions of the world around us. As for me, I often feel quite vulnerable by posting my work since it usually contains very heartfelt emotions and thoughts I have not expressed in the open to anyone (except a bunch of strangers on a journal website.:))Sometimes I feel moved by unknown forces to express my appreciation for things even if the actual beneficiary(s) do not know it. Now is one of those times. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for anyone who has taken the time to read my poems (and ramblings). Even more so of those who through their beautiful words, I have lost myself and a little of my pain on many occasions. I hope you all know who you are. :)
