I am a deleted line

dappled hue perceives

blue, pure, blue

the sublime surrendered sun deceives

tense adjustments

 

my soul lies sapphire silent

I would steal it

include its purple core as it is stained
usher in the night and tears of desire

 

I am a face of eternities left to rust alone
I wait for nobody in the air
down abandoned streets
a pitiful attempt to avoid my void

 

emptiness moves in with indigo
far from home and cold
a remedy of darker lips touch, and comes too soon
swallow me whole surround me

 

I am the deleted line

Dylan, this poem gave me

Dylan, this poem gave me chills and thrills. If you ever figure out how to avoid ones void- let me know. Im inlove with this one.

thank you

Pleasantly Furious,

 

I was at the shore relaxing, trying to come up with a different way of saying, "I miss her" I was writing something, deleting this deleting that. It use to be the writing process, you know like we use do to,  if you were a writer in by gone days there would be crumpled paper all around, now we delete,

send it to recycle bin, I guess it is the same thing, but less tangible, then again it is different. The digital way is so fast, so antiseptic.

It is still life with all the highs and lows.

I am glad you were chilled and thrilled,

well, the thrilled part especially...

Peace

Dylan

Truism. This is life on life's terms. Bold, stark, cutting.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Yeah,

whether I am held in veneration or disdain. I live life on my life's terms, not always what I want but what I am given, what I am taking, the good and the bad. No illussion, I am a practical optimist. "There is no such thing as security, only opportunity". Gen, D. Eisenhower.

Socrates, has said  that the poet is just ahead of the manual laborer, sophist, and tyrant. The philosopher comes in first, as the criterion for the ranking concerns the level of knowledge of truth about the Ideas or Forms of which the soul in question is capable.

In as much as I am an opportunistic manual laboror, I wonder what the General and the Philosopher would make of me...

 

Peace

Dylan
