secretary

you circle each word red, you enjoy the correcting - “read” the riding crop dropped words race away in your inner world dark stallions no bridle nor bit bareback the beautiful once driven, given free reign across your cartography no maps required for the keeper of secrets you know the way well now across the sensual plains bypassing bad dreams flying heavens alongside condors and eagles Pegasus delivers star of Leo to the one holding the bow and arrow Sagittarius son of Pan and Eupheme nursing the Muses gently Eupheme nurses the Muses gently Eupheme nurses the Keeper The Keeper of Secrets Candide Diderot. ‘24 secretarius.

Dear Candide, Your poem is a mesmerizing journey through the realms of language and imagination. The precise images and metaphors you employ shows the secretary's inner world, where words gallop freely across the sensual plains of thought and expression. The symbolism of Pegasus, Sagittarius, and the nurturing presence of Eupheme beautifully intertwine to evoke a sense of mysticism and significance. A testament to the power of creativity and the depth of human experience. - Daniel

Thank you. Like quite a lot of poetry read, the reader will employ their own interpretations of metaphors and their meanings implanted within a poem. The writer (narrator/poet), considers the word “secretary”, defines it, re-defines it and narrates their own inner story around it, which more than likely will only truly be understood by the writer (narrator/poet) and for the one reader it is specifically written for – perhaps others’ interpretations, add to the complexity, enriching the meaning to fit their own inner world, or not. I commenced the thought of writing this poem, with the intrigue of switching up themes from a movie I watched a few years ago, "Secretary" and relating it to other themes present in my own world.
