[hometext] => //(Description in the body)// I actually take a little pride in some of my phrasing and choice of words here.
[bodytext] => (I started this based on a state of mind I was in, as well as a "daydream" you could say, in which I saw myself being pulled into darkness, as I felt how this poem starts for nearly a half-dozen hours this morning at work, and I found myself concerned for and of my thoughts and almost... existentially petrified; terrific, without the specific suffix.(subtle subpar wordplay anyone?) But, what turned it around-though only for a brief moment, was what this poem is, and then I quickly returned again. Strangely however, in writing it out, it feels far better of relief. Gravity Empty, nothing, hour still Everywhere, silence shrill Ripped, torn, bile-born Enveloped, inward scorn "Bring a torch-" she said, "-It/'/s dark outside." With smug remark I reply: "And I am dark inside." But the void is not a trifle An inverse absconder I/'/m drawn in and learn, The reality of spurn Ship becomes wreck; Wreck becomes island; Island becomes ship; Recurrence in slip Each transpiration Excels sensation Life is so slow... Yet too fast for me I say "The ship, isle, /'/Macuahuitl***-style/'/; They aren/'/t real, But my soul surreal" Back to senses and feet "Scamper off in a hasty retreat! You ruse of illusion! Brightblind confusion!" Pulled by gravity; Near-drowned in brevity; Letting go, it capitulate! Following, I castigate! ***Though it may be obvious to some as to what this is intended to be, for those of whom it wouldn/'/t, I explain: The "macuahuitl"(I don/'/t even know how to necessarily pronounce it, but my guess is "Mah-kooUh/kwah-Hoy/hhwee-Tull/tle") is an ancient Aztec weapon utilizing shards of obsidian rock socketed into wooden planks, and used as "swords" and even "clubs".

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. ©
