Array ( [sid] => 73770 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Run on Sentence [time] => 2004-11-30 14:03:25 [hometext] => This is my first post in months. I've finally got regular internet access [bodytext] => Run on sentence
I've never been able to get this right.
There always seems to be barriers to break down.
Then after all of the struggling,
you find broken pieces lying in a particular order.

"A poem", I say.
I don't know what else to call it.
But something within me knows no poetry.
There is no genius within this mess.
Only a starry eyed broken boned madman, with his eyes set on the sun.

Open, he becomes blind,
and all distinctions of vision fall into one stream of light.
And we call it poetry.

The continuous stream, illuminating questions,
and leaving a blank stare after.
Ah! this moment, this is the point.
The blank stare, no insight, no judgement,
pure conciousness.

It is the mind gap covering any explanation.
There are no words to describe what is there.
It is the point where thinking fails, and we are left with
.................
a moment...........
