Notes About The Poem

Image result for poetry is a puzzle

Boundless As the Ocean Blue

The puzzle of my hallow poetry
all the words a jumble
chaotic, formless, scrambled
an uproar unfathomable.

Deep are the caves perpetual I fall
searching for words eternal
poetry unfading and immortal.

Endless as the stars that glow,
and boundless as the ocean blue;
in a shambles, in a muddle,
until, the unveiling of the veil.

Despite the cacophony, I search
through the bedlam of words colliding.

And then, an apocalypse epiphany
the unfolding of a vision uncloaked
it was hiding down deep within 
and now have spiraled up.

Endless as the stars that glow,
and boundless as the ocean blue;
in a shambles, in a muddle,
until, the unveiling of the veil.

I write with a madness and a fever
hysteria erupts in my mind
my thoughts a whirlwind of ideas.

Swirls of phrases multi-hued
a kaleidoscope psychedelic on paper
the pieces of my puzzle falling together
everlasting and everlasting.

Endless as the stars that glow,
and boundless as the ocean blue;
in a shambles, in a muddle,
until, the unveiling of the veil.

Endless as the stars that glow,
and boundless as the ocean blue, ocean blue, ocean blue . . .

Wonderful song Constance I enjoyed it thoroughly, by my count there were two words missing, so your placement reflects that, wonderful writing as per usual!
