Perception Or Experience

What is perception,
If not interpretation?
What is interpretation,
But experience?
What experience is not,
Is perception of unknown.

Flew to stairs,
flew to stares.
Two stares flew

flu stares, too....

Souls and thoughts

Perhaps unrealised
In just words
Or worded tokens

Burdened
By lack
And description

Or 
Freed

my summer love 

is up for interpretation

deeper day-dreaming

and other 

complications

my summer love

loves summer

more than me

Premium Member This is logical nonsense

Interpretation~

springs from

dissatisfaction with

appearance and

a wish to improve~

yet appearance is

already complete

without need

for further 

Appearance~~

And All Is Forever New

heaven's gate opens
angelic music welcomes
souls to paradise

False Conception

a personalized interpretation 
an unrealistic mental conception brought about by
a falsely conceived notion created by a 
clouded reality brought about through years 
of misunderstandings
Form: Lyric

Ignore the Words

Ignore
the words
the writer
poured all over
see the white sheet
underneath
wailing at you
tearing up
your interpretation
of something
so simple
as dried ink.

The Miracle of Flight

It has been said that the miracle of aviation
Is that the aeroplane is nothing more in interpretation
Than 50000 components flying in close formation
And hopefully all bound for the same destination

Premium Member The problem with biblical eisegesis

The problem with biblical eisegesis
is that you tear Bible verses to pieces.
And in your effort to make of the Bible and its glory
your own personal story,
the truth value of the Bible dramatically decreases.
