Jslambert Mister Roboto Poet Carpe Diem

S U B L I M E

SUBLIME

Sublime
I've been shedding snakeskin...
so blind
I've been destroying the noise
my worst enemy

Deconstructing my identity 
soaking shoulder deep
in oceans of humility 
feasting upon fruits of tranquility

breaking shackles  
freeing ankles
from bloody mud puddles 
razor blade anxiety

rising to a  place 
where yesterday 
flees irrelevant 
tomorrow
is insufficient 

Yet
this moment 
of SUBLIMITY
right now...
forever remains
a fearless paradise

David Nickle Read November 1, 2014 at 8:15 PM I'm slightly obsessed with all that can happen within a moment, existence on the brink...your words stand there and have the sublime at their core...immense!

Paul Callus September 20, 2014 at 9:55 AM I suppose being free from the past (shedding of skin and shackles) and not worrying about the future does leave you with a sublime moment in time....and that is the present. Enjoy it and make good use of it. a 7 rating // paul

Poet Destroyer A September 9, 2014 at 6:58 PM I don't know Joey, you are going to come out of this perfectly... I can't even shed my snake skin....hahahha, so you my friend are sublime, and fearless when it comes to poetry... A quality, I enjoy with others... No fear my poetic friend... LINDA

James Horn September 7, 2014 at 7:17 PM Sounds like a woman shaving her legs. I had to read it quickly through the first time. The second time it all fell into place. Neat. Mine was poem of the day on August 16 about Robin Williams. What inspired you to write this poem? People need an introduction to their poems so the reader can feel right at home reading them and can identify with them. Also, what city are you from. You are a Super Duper Doper Poetry Souper. Wow, Jim Horn

Demetrios Trifiatis September 6, 2014 at 4:30 AM Discovering the inner self is a process that, certainly, sheds some snakeskin, but the results, as you so marvelously show, are sublime, dear JS!

Charmaine Chircop September 6, 2014 at 1:24 AM I love 'this moment of sublimity',without the yesterday and tomorrow.I love the 'Now' of the moment,without the noise,the pain,the anxiety,Neath that snake skin which protects so well that human flesh,I can reach that tender heart through this amazing verse.The poet and pem added to my favorites ten plus : ).
