Latin words" *facultas cognoscitive = cognative faculties. *intueor itive = I look at, upon or towards. (figuratively) I consider, regard, observe, give attention to. *intelligo = know, realize, understand.

Dreams within dreams, how does one control what's not there? ~ When the eye of imagination is too real, turn a blind eye—I Am Anaya

Blinks of teary-filled eyes see on at a diplegic self yet mindful transparency is willing me back Back to my body as sinful warning zones alarming have deluged my mind Seized are my winks , my signals , codes in tact I deemed the eye of imagination unkind The intruder remains faceless knowing anon I’m entrusted to an astral body and its danger Spiritual warnings of facultas cognoscitive, Descartes’ existence of corporeal self, even stranger I am conscious and sure these be blessings Or maybe an unconscious of the intueoritive and what I immediately perceived were passion’s messing’s with the right amount of awareness to shift Senses much livelier and much more clear, lucidly leaving the "physical world" adrift Diplegic with a clarity of intelligo of an unhinging fear Practiced, I am using my symbols with inner sight and a poetic aptitude, my mindset re-sets a dream A vision appears to me, it appears to be my hand penning quickly, a dream within a dream, I re-write the script and scenes which aren't what they seem

I like the use of Latin in this. Also, Descarte. Your "I am Anaya" took me right to "I think, therefore I am" once I saw his name.

Hello, Ty, Rob! Yes, I had read one of Descartes many meditations on astra projection.. (star and bolding mine). and I too thought the Latin sounded more poetic than in English! Yes it is him who said that ~ I Am Anaya

Anaya, to me this expresses a lot of difficulty writing and perceiving. We do know that creating a poem that we feel really good about takes us through a variety of choices and emotions. Hard to get perfection. This is a lot of fun really. Smiles!!!

What have I done! I can only undo it. Rewrite it, It happens, when in a rush, I revised now that the contest is over and am happy with the result. :):)

Gee, I wish I could understand the meaning of your poem. It is beyond me. Nice poem.

Poems are often subject to personal interpretation. Key words, inner visions, astral body, dream. I shall rewrite it as it was for the contest, i missed that the title was to be a specific title. No one gave me the heads-up . Ty!

My mind was befuddled from reading all about tea blends and glass cups with diffusers immediately before encountering this poem - the effect was a whirl and swirl of magic that drew me in with flavour and visual special effects! Great take on the prompt - good luck :)

Way cool. I think the Unseeking one will like this. Lots of hard words and astral stuff. Now gotta look up diplegic...

Sleep Paralysis! Ty, Tommy its always a big challenge, but hard words are where it's at for me at the moment. lol. I thought the words cognative faculties & intuitive weren't attractive, sounded more poetic in Latin. There are so many words to learn!
