[bodytext] => Careful please there are Nouns here which innocently can contain your life. Were it not for 'Un' all would be lost. So many of our utterances not only restrain the brain but prevent emphatically new things being said. Language is a universe in which you cannot be understood unless you all ready agree with its assumptions and premises of right, wrong or the good; A universe in which you cannot conceive anything really new because ou do not have the language to express the idea; a language which does not yet exist. So the problem is how to say something new when you lack a vocabulary or utterances? I don't have a final solution but I do have a start: dismantle the language starting with the Noun. To see the new we must first Unsee the old- here my friends lies salvation- in the utterance Un. Un-love Un-done Un-believe are an excellent start because they get us to begin the unraveling of that which is wound so tight that new meaning can't get in. To continue: Un isn; t simply the opposite it is a pronouncement a nullification- a cleaning out- of that which occupies that noun space so something new can get in. Now let take Un-love. To Un-love is not to hate for here we simply state we are not in the state of love. Not so strange, it happens to all of us. We simply one day fall into Un-love meaning love has gone away. Doing this has caused so much misery yet we have no word or meaning for what Un-love means. You see the problem or should I say the unclarity that Un-love brings. If I one day suddenly Un-love you what does this mean? Not I suppose just that love has gone but where has it gone to? In Un-love Land there is no hate not even perhaps indifference but, perhaps to an empty space prompting a need to find new words, nouns or even vocabularies. Now you see the problem; the conundrum here no such words currently yet exist- unless we pause now some new words to invent to fill that void and in doing so create a whole new language or description of what is meant by Un-love? Here my point exactly. So tell me now again what does Un-love mean and what is the new language we need to describe it? We don't know yet until some poet creates the vision and the words too that go with it. Pointedly how do I now un-write this poem?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
