Mold

Give me your heart
I will cook it in
the oven of thoughts
and dreams

Give me your soul
I shall slice it open
and fill it with
words

Give me your eyes
I will wash it in light that
carries thoughts of life
and death

Give me your skeleton
I shall make your skin
from the cells
of inspiration

Give me your body
for you are my poem
and I shall mold you
with my pen

This makes writing a poem seem like a destructive instead of a creative trial.

Thanks for the reply Penelope. This poem isn't meant to make poem seem like a destructive trial but instead to show how we create our poems into people. We use our words, thoughts and creativity to shape our poem to what ever form. This is what i tried to convey in this poem. Thanks for the reply.

I suppose what got me onto that take were all of the demands made. Hope you know what I mean.

Yeah i see what you mean. It is a poem after all and diffrent people have diffrent interpretations. Its always good to hear your comments.

i didn't see it as destructive at all... in fact you made me think of people who inspire me, just as this person might inspire you, and it was really cool how you sort of "built" a body out of a poem... i loved it.
