Premium Member You Smiled

I saw something today I've not seen for a while;
it didn't last long, but nonetheless, it was a smile.
Alzheimer's had hidden that part of you from me,
and yet, suddenly, you smiled, and I got to see.
And I want to believe it was deliberate,
for the meaning behind that smile seemed explicate.

EMPIRICAL FEELINGS

intangible mysteries
  so expressive
  a  dimension
of
sentiment
 subjective sensation
        paradoxically
essential
to temperament
present
a
different challenge
in the cultural climate

a permanence
espoused
  that overshadows
a sensation of life
perhaps a
pretext
  deeply sublimatd
a
perfected vision

rhythmic intervals

strangeness

an  ornamentation

  the search

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Premium Member The Final Solution

First the sounds were voices self-confined
Like distant whispers pricking at his mind
And he, confused could scarcely reason them
Nor question whether source he might consign
Then they tolled like death-bells in his head
And he thought how right were they who said
There are none to cipher, knowing him
He would much the better off be dead.
Next they came as friends bestowing only good
And havened him about as one protecting should
With white, sterile walls to explicate his whim
And think that he will come to rest in solitude.
