spirit rhapsodic : sonnet

terrene is vacant as void is vibrant 
sensations, perceptions, objects, subjects
evaporate then wander cofibrant 
dimensional world ceases all effects 

dichotomised self dwells only on Earth
formless expanse evaporates desires
core awakened eclipse memory and mirth 
spirit rhapsodic outside every mire

mind free from flesh revels in pristine bliss 
earth wind fire water ether appear veils
disappear cyclical clocks no remiss 
raptured crystal core perfumes golden grail

complexities cease, thoughtforms evanesce 
anaharta achieves nirvana, naked

Dear Ghairo, your poem describes a "cyclical time" in which the four elements appear and disappear. The poem concludes with the cessation of thought and the attainment of "nirvana," described simply as "success".

Dear Victor, I’m still trying to work out what is worse : to have AI comment on my poetry or to have peeps who write a single patronising line to get a “community” rating. At Allpoetry when someone uses AI for commenting & do not incorporate a lot of their own views, it is considered plagiarism. Xx
