MY BARBARIC YAWP [ by Roland Esteva, August 2014 ] My Barbaric Yawp is where My Soul resides, To My Barbaric Yawp ... Ts a place I go in silence. You can find me there ... When Im most alone. There ... is situated ... the Birthplace ... Of My Most Powerful Words. When I close my eyes ... And speak with the Vision of my Heart, THERE my poetry lies waiting ... For ME. If I speak of bondage from that place, You will feel the mighty enslavement of your soul - More imprisoned than by the shackles of any earthly, putrid, rat infested, cobbled Dungeon. When I speak of love & pleasure, You will feel the heights of passion & surrender - Within Your Being - Louder than her silent clenched eyes screaming in muted ecstasy beneath you. If I dare recount a fear from the confines of that world, ... And truly form the curdles of my blood while there, You will shriek and beg for mercy - More fiercely shaken than a child with night terrors ... In the Dark. If I speak of Peace Divine while resting comfortably in that Home of Mine, You will want it more than Death is frightening, More Eternally Comforting than the Ample Bed of Emily Dickinson ... From There I say My Words Most Powerful ... They are my Barbaric Yawp. I love you ... Ill Always Love you. Yet ... I must go now. And only when I speak ... From my Barbaric Yawp, Will you Feel what I am Shouting. From where ... Regrettably ... I must return and live like Normal Men. ... To a Place where YOU ... Will NEVER HEAR ... That Song that choirs in ME. ~~MY BARBARIC YAWP, [ By Roland Esteva, August 2014. ]** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Inspired by Walt Whitmans 1,346 line Epic Song of Myself made famous here by Robin Williams reference to Line 1333 (Full context 1330 - 1346) 1332 I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, 1333 I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. https://youtube/watch?v=S6xyHna-NuM
