“In the artist of all kinds I think one can detect an inherent dilemma, which belongs to the co-existence of two trends, the urgent need to communicate and the still more urgent need not to be found….”

An Artist’s Dilemma (A Poem)
I avoid writing like I would the plague.
I know once I start I can’t stop.
And all I want is a nice movie playing
But conduits are conduits, like it or not.
Am I making any sense to you?
Or am I writing for myself again?
Maybe if I just press this remote…
I’ll find a show to distract myself
And once I stop struggling, I float.
Burke: A Simple Man (A Poem)
Sometimes I want to be you,
Normal and simple.
Sometimes I wonder, Why me?
I’d like to watch TV
Or see friends after work
I’d like to drink warm tea
And laugh till it hurts
I grow rather tired
Of being constantly inspired
And I’d like to live with you
Someday, Burke.
Be A Poem
I believed that I wanted to be a poet, but deep down I just wanted to be a poem. -Jaime Gil De Bieda
