a masterpiece...Thank you:
a masterpiece...
Thank you for being here... please invite other poets actual and
potential to join us
Reading your words makes me think that it is demons who whisper
accusations to us. Angels speak only words of loving encouragement.
These are my favorite lines from your beautiful odyssey:
'heavily trodden: mental cartography of the finest details,
surveying the lands of our former selves,'
*
'attempting to discover the turn which led into the dank forests,' ***
*
'veins of precious mineral memories twist and snake through the landscape,
each hidden pocket concealing nuggets of our purest truths.'
*
'breeding contempt for those who seemingly refuse to adhere to rampant willpower, divorcing us from the innate harmony of our shared existence.'*
***
'a cloak to conceal us from the demoralizing gazes,'
*
'The terrors we encounter along the paths we had forged ourselves in days past,....lie in ambush, awaiting our return to spring forth'
*
'The way to the forsaken mines opens up before us,'
*
'in its stead now sits mindful determination atop the bloodied throne recently vacated,'
*
'we can take these treasures, cherish them, but they are no more ours to keep than the stars in the cosmos,'
*
press on, and their salvations shall reinforce your own.*

i look forward to reading all of your poems and prose

Well if God, as I've been told, answers to all names by which called,
I guess God can answer to that appellation of yours
If you know of any other poets who would join us all please invite them.
Shadows As History: and time and knowledge, less lurking than invisible. Shadow as motivation works - fear as avoidance learning. I see dead people - what a dramatic line! Without shadows there are no suns or lights. - Nice write - intense - Lady A

Acceptant: I, for one, keep reading because it is all so thoroughly entertaining. The best part is, I don't have to do any of the searching; you've already formulated the poem, and I just get to kick back and enjoy the creation, whatever it may prove itself to be, utterly acceptant.
