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 Date: 11/1/2014 8:15:00 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! Login to Reply

Paul Callus Date: 9/20/2014 9:55:00 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 Login to Reply

James Horn Date: 9/7/2014 7:17:00 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 Login to Reply

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 9/6/2014 4:30:00 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! Login to Reply
