THE POET
I am but an open journal
Still waiting for a discovery,
Empty pages within to drift.
Desiring to feel your warmth upon
The black leather that binds me.
The soft caress of the wisdom
Of velvety words for kissing.
Left drifting in the breeze
A melody without notes.
For my love affair with words
That dance through futuristic
Pages of time.
I am the tender sweetness like sugar
Of my yearning soul
With dreams yet to come alive.
I cry out to you awaiting your thoughts
Your desires, glimpses of your personality
Passions quilled upon the lines of my sculpted mold.
Yet I am but a baby naked, blowing empty
Pages Into the ebony starlit night.
Cold and alone, not a letter insight
No scribbles of rainbows ink
Splattered upon my virgin parchment.
No stories to pass on in time.
I am awaiting the screaming orgasm of
My birthing into a new world
With visions and images that
Tower over me setting me free
No longer a virgin of words
Born again with pen in hand.
Pastel Colors of the wheel splattered
Upon my emptiness here within my mind.
I am but a thought away,
The history I’ve come from
The present I am living within
The future I have yet to see.
Just a visionary imagined or not,
I am the poet!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Eva Marie Ann Cagley
I was born and raised in Waterloo Iowa, where I spent most of my time working with teenagers
in a group home and at a Juvenile Detention Center as a counselor. Working with teenagers
gave me great joy, having had none of my own… I come from a large family of nine children
having six brothers and two sisters. I have always had a love for poetry. It has always been a
dream of mine to publish a book of my own poems. My first interest in poetry was when I was in
Sixth grade English class and we were studying Robert Frost. I have always had a passion for
poetry and believe it is a gift from God…It gives me great pleasure to share my poetry with
others. There's little else to say about me as my poetry reflects whom I am. My beliefs,
perspectives, trials and tribulations, hopes and despair, dreams of all my lives’ journeys…
Given with love I leave you now with a place Where Poets Dream!
