Poetry is a spiritual release of emotions one holds in his or her body. I first began writing just because it helped me cope with the adversity I was going through in my life. Quickly, just writing turned into full-fledged poetry. A type of poetry that could cleanse ones’ soul if written the proper way. Poetry is a perspective art meant for those who have dropped the rigorous boundaries surrounding his or her mind. I have chosen Soul Wired Café as one of my choices to interview since it is a restaurant which has live poetry at night. I feel that once there it will help me become more knowledgeable in the art of poetry and give me inspiration in the process.

I walked into a building filled with people of passion and love. The energy was massive enough to engulf your whole being if you allowed it. The building was medium in size and dark with low lights just bright enough to see the person next to you and the shadows of others. My eyes shifted downwards and saw painted CD’s on the floor in a line with each differing in colors. Once I finished admiring the decorated floor I noticed that the walls had writings on them. Each wall either had poetry or drawings written and drawn in a creative fashion. I also noticed that as soon as you walked in there was a guitar which immediately made me realize this was not just a poetry restaurant but a restaurant that accepted all forms of art.

As soon as I walked in I saw a wall that was painted to form bricks. These bricks were a maroon color with white lines separating each brick. In the center there were white and black paintings of a beautiful woman and a man with a gigantic afro with each having microphones next …show more content…
She introduced the first poet and I knew at that moment I was right. Only a select few could step on that stage and actually accomplish their mission. The poet walked onto the stage, grabbed the mic, and stood silent for two minutes. However, this mere two minutes felt like an eternity for myself and the audience members. The room seemed to get a little darker and the air felt like it was in a battle with itself not knowing which emotion it wanted to spread throughout the building. Finally, it calmed and she began to speak. She touched on a topic everyone has experienced in their life: love. It is amazing how a four letter word can have such a wide array of meanings depending on the person discussing it. The first word I have experienced that can morph from abstract to concrete in a meaning of seconds. “The core concept of loving someone is to want more, to do more, to be better for that person.” To stop loving someone is a foolish and hypocritical statement. To give up on something so precious and then say I did not want to hurt you. The irony in that. Love and hurt should never be spoken in the same breath.” As soon as she said this time stopped and I pondered in my mind on whether I agreed or not. I traveled to the deepest part of my mind and transcended it and visited my soul. The place where all my desires and regrets live. I asked him how he felt
