Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

Without Agreement

Without Agreement 

Living in the vacuum of separation
An ashtray of burnt ember vibrations
In wounded agony torn apart 
Sudden separation confusion imparts 
Heartbeat separated from harmony’s essence
Absent whisper of the spirit’s presence
Heart in sweaty palpitations of dementia
Body swoons deprived in apt dyslexia
Two starving shadows whimper with fatigue 
Pull in opposition as slumber flees
Banished into the abyss absent of life’s thrust
Cries for unity in harmony’s trust
Vertigo reigns in space split open wide
Simple grace caught between two riptides
Heartbeats and spirit wind lie in lethargy
Repulse vitality’s consummation in eulogy
The seed of unity clutched in arid darkness
Orphaned with withering roots of starkness
Nomads wander hearing the echo ancient
Blindly call muffled minds in siren’s plainchant
Climb from the chasm of separation
Find the way back to reconciliation.

Greg Gaul September 24, 2022 at 3:09 PM Excellent beat and flow couched with beautiful rhyming. All your familiar talents Sam. The allitertation does not go unnoticed either. I particularly like that you made it one verse, keeps the pacing and music of your language going. All part and parcel of your well deserved high placement. A pleasure to read your work again. Congratulations. Note: Someone misplaced an extra "i" in your title. I know you'd want to know. I would. Be well dear bard.

Jeff Kyser September 19, 2022 at 2:29 PM Very good - in my head, i read it with a quick staccato, somewhat Lin-Manuel Miranda-ish :-) Sam Kauffman September 20, 2022 at 9:05 AM Thank you so much Jeff. Your perceptive reading has picked up on the intended cadence of the poem. And what an honor to be compared with Lin-Manuel! Thank you for that lift to my day. Hope you are well. Sending you all the blessings of the season.
