Silver Tongue The Poet
                                                "The Poet"

A man quietly sits in the audience of the arts listening to the many talented poets and singers that take the stage only a few feet in front of him.

He glances at a neon caption that shows the feature poet for the night, as the host announces, “Give some love for “Johnny C Weaver!”

The man watches closely as the applause after the introduction of the poet dies down to the subtle snapping of hundreds of fingers in unison.


The man looks down at his fingers and notices the tremble of uneasiness that takes over his body. He rubs his hands together to ease the anxiety that starts to overwhelm him.

He closes his eyes…and for a moment he hears the love that the crowd gave Johnny C, for his awesome performance on stage. Then another poet was announced, “Give it up for “MOODY BLACK!”

The man notices his heart start to pound harder. He feels the adrenaline in his blood stream electrify every sensory nerve in his body. He takes a deep breath with his eyes tightly closed and then.

All goes silent...

His mind takes him through the clouds of his thoughts, to every corner of the earth like the wind... He is the wind, he looks around himself for his body and there is nothing there but air.

By just a thought alone he can dive through the trees of the rainforest, and skim across the Dead Sea. Touch the pyramids of Giza and climb in an instant to the stratosphere and beyond to kiss the moon in the daylight.

But something grabs his attention. An urge that makes him squeeze his eyes tighter as his gut tells him that now it’s time to go back. It's time to take his place and make his own mark in the history book of time. With tremblig eyes still closed his pulse slows as he looks at the world from a distance.

The nervousness is gone now… the anxiety has ceased… his heartbeat slows to a rhythm, his soul is now at peace. The tightness of his grip has eased to a gentle touch… the man takes a cool breath and opens his eyes as his tongue paints the picture from the whisper of his mind. He looks out and addresses the crowd with a cool smile.

“Hello… I am “Silver Tongue The Poet.”

"Poetry to me is like breathing in your most favorite aroma. It makes you take pride in taking in that which makes you smile and others long for, or should I say, savor a taste of. My joy comes from the people that my poetry reaches out to. Especially when they can relate to a poem so much that they come to me with tears in their eyes. That is a feeling that moves mountains."
