Be Easy, Rockstar
by V. Blakei will wrap myself in blankets and metaphors
and tell everyone it's armor.
i will sit here, against all better judgment,
and figure out exactly how long it takes
for pain to become nostalgia.
all i know
is that there was a moment
when the buzz of a modem
turned into music,
and no one i know
can guess when it happened.
and for whatever it's worth,
i have never once
fallen out of love in my life.
but do not doubt that i find it
every
single
day.
worlds and worlds
pass me by.
all i do is smile. 04/03/2011 Author's Note: I love this poem.

I've missed your poems, Vince, and sure hope you'll keep on posting. xoxoxo "Be Easy!" |
| Posted by Ava Blu on 04/05/11 at 12:49 AM Your second and third stanzas are my absolute favorite, Sir Blake. This is easily a new favorite, which you already know. |

| Posted by Frankie Sanchez on 04/05/11 at 09:15 PM if i could pinpoint that moment when modem dial turned symphonic, i would and i'd let you know as soon as i found it. i dig this a lot, i've been feeling nostalgic lately and this captured that state of being quite well. |

| Posted by Julie Adams on 04/06/11 at 05:25 PM I never tire of reading your poetry, the 3rd stanza is the most powerful to me, but cohesively, it is a homerun! You never disappoint, a fav for me! Thank you, peace, jewels |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 04/06/11 at 07:38 PM Yikes! This is one great poem. Excellent read, again and again. Thanks. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/09/11 at 01:06 AM Hey Vince. That first stanza did it all for me. The rest, icing on the cake. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/09/11 at 01:08 AM PS: Congrats on hitting #1. Well deserved! |
