Introspection

Written: May 05, 2024

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 You crossed the gloss,
Under a star-spangled sky,
To greet me at dawn.
Foggy dreams awoke me,
my brain was amort,
I sense your whisper,
I immediately drew it.
While in the woods, birds sang,
leaving darkness behind,
the haze-modified hues, 
would dance with the sun. 

I'll acknowledge,
I am mesmerized by singing,
and my senses were enhanced. 
Yet, in extending them,
I may endanger your soul,
I created a human ghost,
It is unknown what will occur.
Love beckons you,
Although it seems pointless, 
I can't bear my dream,
While on the verge,
There is plenty to consider. 

Often ambiguous,
Vague atmosphere,
It almost feels as "déjà vu". 
Unreal is magnificent,
I can't break this magic spell,
It lurks near to life,
Some believe it is a vision,
Which detects every sign.
Realistic hyperbole, 
for heartfelt times.

I love the way you paint imagery and use metaphors, and how you pair words is so ethereal! I especially love “ Under a star-spangled sky, To greet me at dawn. Foggy dreams awoke me,“ gorgeous and seamless alliterations! “It almost feels as "déjà vu". Unreal is magnificent, I can't break this magic spell,“ so beautiful and soulfully divine! Pleasure always reading your work! Best wishes

Duke Beaufort May 5, 2024 at 7:11 PM SP, I agree with your line 4th from the end that this is a description of a vision. Our minds do some pretty interesting things. You capture so much of what I think would be a vision. The interesting thing about a vision is that once we understand what it is, it may fade away. I don't think many people have really had a vision...at least not many talk about it for fear of being thought of as ill, but I can tell you that your description is accurate. I would be happy to provide more information on this subject if you are interested. However based on your poem, I suspect you are an expert already!

Silent One May 5, 2024 at 12:32 PM Hey Sotto your poem encapsulates a journey through dreams and reality, weaving together imagery of nature and emotion in a captivating narrative. The opening lines, "You crossed the gloss, Under a star-spangled sky, To greet me at dawn," immediately set a scene of intimacy and connection beneath a celestial backdrop. The final lines, with their reference to "déjà vu" and "unreal magnificent" experiences, leave soupers with a sense of wonder and ambiguity, inviting interpretation and reflection
