Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Epigram

Feelings

FEELINGS


Feelings,
Masters of my destiny
Lords of my life
Strength of my dreams
Instigators of my actions

Burning fire you are 
Consuming my whole 
Being:
My heart
My mind 
My soul
My spirit,  
As you relentlessly
Demand: 
To be conceived
To be formulated 
To be understood
To be expressed!

A Herculean task it is,
I swear, 
Such an enterprise,
For how one could ever
Constrain, you, the unconstrained 
And mold you into:
Phonemes
Syllables
Words
Phrases
Sentences 
And still, retain 
Your explosive 
Dynamism?
 
No language exists,
So vast
So deep
So accurate
So supple 
As to pay justice,
To your intensity
To your desire
To your beauty
To your love!

Thus, having no
Alternative, 
I turn to the only language
There is,
The one that the 
Cosmos speaks,
And
The universe alone
Comprehends:
The language of 
Harmony,
That we humans 
POETRY name
BUT 
Even then 
To describe you
I AM UNABLE!

Rainbow Promise September 30, 2015 at 7:32 PM How does one understand the feelings of another or even Express our own! Feelings are often individual, illussive and unlike passion, needs a language of its own. If we as poets say what "what" feelings are, we mostly give our own. Great poem and a 7. Demetrios Trifiatis October 2, 2015 at 7:42 AM Thank you dear, Rainbow Promise, for your gracious visit and comment! Of course, when we talk about feelings, each one of us, speaks a separate language that is translated to the readers or to the listeners language with his own denotations, connotations and meaning, pending on the experience the person in question had! I also thank you for your generous grading!
