"The Colour Guards"



Heaven 
came close to me today

I flirted with the idea of it
outrageously

The Colour Guard
kept changing

The metaphysical poet
spoke automatic its message through me  

it visualised some kind of new Nirvana
shining through electric spectral colours

held aloft 
by the containment emeralds 

the ghost writer 
enticing me to tear from the limb

most high the gilded eye of mind 
ignites through crystalline 

from the lowest of low born dreams 
the sweetest green apple of its eye

so I took a bite and full-bodied 
what was living inside the skin of me 
metamorphasized

I came close to heaven today
it flirted with the idea of me outrageously

it spoke to me in cloudy colours
class not out yet for long lost fellows

more lessons coming in
each room by door behind all numbers

the answers
found within

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)







"The metaphysical poets were men of learning, and, to show their learning was their whole endeavour; but, unluckily resolving to show it in rhyme, instead of writing poetry, they only wrote verses, and, very often, such verses as stood the trial of the finger better than of the ear; for the modulation was so imperfect, that they were only found to be verses by counting the syllables... The most heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together; nature and art are ransacked for illustrations, comparisons, and allusions; their learning instructs, and their subtilty surprises; but the reader commonly thinks his improvement dearly bought, and, though he sometimes admires, is seldom pleased."


nirvana
noun
(in Buddhism) 
a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.

Morse Code, a gift of Love - for you," she said.
