Bring down those inhibitory walls in your brain
but not your focus on the dreams at hand,
keep at it long enough and you might be
granted a rare chance, with your own eyes to see
both the thoughts that rave and the flowing sparks,
shimmering all over a creator’s mind,
engrossed in the holy act of creation –
some with words while others with paints and notations!
      

They might not be your middling superstars,
either in looks, ways or inheritance
but if human beings could see the luster of a soul
and smell the flavor of intelligence,
whitening creams and scents would go extinct
and the superstars too, for a lack of audience!

  1. …flowing sparks shimmering all over a creator’s mind… That’s the line that does it for me…it is not the end ‘result’ but the soul’s pure intention in the act of creating! Eureka! 🙂

                    2. perhaps you are on a covert mission… needing undercover props (the horn)… I mean nowadays, we all are sprouting horns on our heads, so may be you needed a pair to blend in.

                    4. Hitting head against wall (don’t worry cushion in between )
                      I didn’t mean what I said or may be didn’t say it the way I meant it. Is this not friendship ? The blog has become a chatroom !!!!!!!

  3. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Some creations are like masterpieces to some superstars. Creators tend to feel they haven’t done enough to make their art just right or perfect. My two cents. Beautiful poem! ☺️

    1. you know with all these two cents, you are more precious to us than the theoretical gold in Fort Knox… I find it somewhat extreme of myself but either one is in love with arts or one is not… being in love with only the masterpieces is to me a kind of racism :p now i have given back one of your cents… 😀 thank you

      1. That’s why I gave you two cents… So you can still have one after you returned one to me, lol. Hey, some are into masterpieces while some are contented with simple, humble offerings. Again, to each his (her) own. ☺️
