Cacophemism

I will open your hands to the blow of soot Foam around And the pejorative of illumination I am changing mistakes with your consciousness The number of exaltation Soot off the hands Ascribes oceans to winds I am distorting the image of reality Darkness is pejorative Because it does not expect illumination 2005

Hi Nel. This poem caught my eye on the new entries page, and I totally locked in on this. I had to look of the def of the title but I've studied some existentialism in the past..."I am changing mistakes with your consciousness" is made me think of "the problems of other minds". Then I linked the title to essence or the absence of essence and Buddhism and delusion and darkness...then I found this quote

Thank you. Your interpretation is really good. This poem is a part of a larger collection I hope to publish.

"What is the reality of things just as it is? It is the absence of essence. Unskilled persons whose eye of intelligence is obscured by the darkness of delusion conceive of an essence of things and then generate attachment and hostility with regard to them." And I immediately fell in love with how this reads aloud, and I realized how full this poem is, how it fills the emptiness, how it touches on nature, belief, the soul, and so many types of consciousness. (I feel embarrassed that I wrote all this.) It's quite deep. Thank you for sharing. W

Thank you for your kind words! My poetry touches on philosophy, psychoanalysis and symbolism, among other subjects. I've been writing for many years now and this particular poem was written when I was 16. My poetry allows me to create and at the same time access this new interesting world. Right now I'm ready to share my poetry with a wider audience. Thanks again!
