Notes About The Poem

Ignore the World

my body fractures in eternal space;
          extinguished is the lurid sun
               blinded by the moonless
                   darkness and stars.
                   nestled in the transitional of poetic music  
               encircle by their muffled sounds
          in unchanging existence 
     of breathless passion. 

     can you feel it
          feel of surrender
               surrendering to a flickering torch 
                    embers warm cinders 
                    crackle riding within. 
               hope doesn't fade, but falls upon my lap
          with clenched hands upon  

     unhurried, no disquietude within passage
          ignore the world 
               let flutter seduce the moonless night 
                    and stars upon the dawn.

Enjoyed your verse Eve, sometimes we have to detach ourselves from earthly things to find peace. Hope you're well Tom
