Notes About The Poem

 

Had a number of thoughts in my head... So thought I would do a collection of simple musings.

Sunday Musings

Judgement You light the fire, then play the victim. It's not my fire, yet you let it burn. Rage and pain drive you insane, creating a parody of hypocritical lies. Judgemental eyes ignite in fumes, ignorant to another man's shoes. Silent emotions They say he shows no emotions, yet fail to see the flow of tears, crying from his poetic pen. Poetry is only silent to ignorance. It's the pain keeping him alive, breaking all figurative chains. He realises there is not shame, when the sorrows of lost time, become burdens he can't let go. Yet the hurt makes him stronger. She I always knew she'd be the one, from that novel, whose name I fail to recall. When I read those words, her image burst from the page. I always thought lucidity of my imagination, was a slightly cruel curse; until i saw those eyes, which moved closer in crystal definition, merging true colours into my heart. Even in the silence of my dreams, I called for just one kiss from her lips. Misunderstood muse There won't be any poetry tonight, nothing to say, to see nor to write. An absence of subtle reflection in words, become a substance of subsistence. Confused with silent existence of timeless distance. Insistence of your resistance, seems like a waste of emotions, in a false dawn of devotions. Learn to create perfect harmonies through simple sincere symphonies. Then your predicament will not breed, nor succeed in its egotistical need.

Why is it that thoughts always run rampant on a Sunday?..Unable to hone in on one particular vision. Good idea to post them all together. That last one's a bit of a tongue twister..lol..kind of ironic...coz of its title...almost like it's meant to be intentionally misunderstood...if that makes sense...anyway...your musings make for a very pensive mood :)

When thoughts gather, you write them down- as you have done here. This is filled with so many emotions. You are always so vivid with your images. So beautifully written my friend. ~ Brandy

these were nice, Silent ONe. The one I was really drawn to was SHE. Loved that one, and also Silent Emotions. Those two were incredible.

Lucky are those who breathe with every single word they spill.. great are those who heal a pain, seal a wound with the magic of words.. blessed are those who poetry is flowing int their very veins.. the power of poetry to relieve and unveil the soul in a so elevated beautiful language of its own.. I liked your great musing Silent One.. and an immense pleasure to read.. Best regards and blessings.

For sure, honesty, from a mature pen, settles it all. When there is nothing to hide, beauty reveals itself effortlessly, spontaneously--Love, its perfect portrait manifest. The poet's true friend is his pen, not to the exclusion of people and other living nature (all live and think, even the atoms), but to the revelation of our inseparable connection. This is a great work my friend! Can't compliment your writing enough. Blessings!

Much depth and breadth in your Sunday musings my friend. So many wonderful lines like: You light the fire, then play the victim. It's not my fire, yet you let it burn...AND..They say he shows no emotions,yet fail to see the flow of tears..There's more of course: Even in the silence of my dreams, I called for just one kiss from her lips. Another gem of dialogue on love and life and poetry. You shine, as always, SO.

As says the quote:"Poetry is a cure to me...it speaks the unspoken words that explain how bad it hurts..." The release of these Sunday Musings, are from personal insights that need to be respected. It takes so much to bear one's true feelings. We can all learn something from your honest musings, SO. To be kind and careful with other's feelings, is not a weakness. And where we have wronged someone, we should do our best to rectify it. Its not a weakness to do so. Warmest regards - Fave.~~Aqua M~~

You are right Aqua, it is so easy to judge another, then go around talking about them, but do not approach them to get an explanation.... thank you for your kind words..
