Many poems are spoiled by saying too much. The reader must be allowed to participate, fill in spaces with his or her own feelings, or the experience becomes a lecture...and I have hated those since childhood

"The poet reveals that sufficiency alone governs the secret music of being, immutable, unborrowed, and beyond envy or measure."
|
“Elevate the gift within; no borrowed wings can bear the sovereign sky.”

The things I post here as my Quotes about poetry are not intended as rules to be followed but as propositions to be discussed. It is also important to understand that they have been developed a posteriori, not a priori.
|
Free will is always followed by accountability.
|
“I once loved who I thought you were. Life showed me differently. I hope you found what you were looking for. Take care.”
|
Forgiveness is freedom. As long as one holds on to the hurt, one remains a victim. Vengeance can become an addition. That will span generations if allowed to continue....

Contests are contests against another version of yourself as what seems to be another, is merely another reflection of Self since all selves are separates constituting One Whole. The Whole becomes more and more harmonious as we dish shadowed portions out of the subconscious into the light to be integrated.

AI should not be allowed on creative writing sites. When identified use, the writer should be banned, in an effort to keep the integrity of honest poetry free from artificial stink. AI will soon write a new interpretation of the bible I am certain. A logical interpretation, but void of spiritual essence. AI is not a tool, like an encyclopedia or text book with valuable examples of meaningful reference, it is a soulless entity that will lead to ever greater intellectual and moral depravity.

Dating is so important to a long lasting relationship. Get to know the other person really well, it's ok to date for a lengthy period. Consummating a relationship outside of marriage is still a covenant made, in God's eyes. Oxytocin is the bonding drug our bodies create. You are fighting physical and emotional connection when you don't respect the process. There is a lot of therapy gone through because God's program for relationships [or "ships" as the kids say] and marriages are not followed.

Indeed, each of us a pixel, of the human psyche...but important enough to Christ who allowed Himself to be crucified for all, no exclusions. We may see ourselves as mere pixels, but God sees us, perhaps, as part of the Greater Body of His Christ portrait..?! Who am I to argue with the One who gave me Life, and so much living opportunity? So much power...my conglomerate able to beautify or destroy an entire world?

I want to go above and beyond, and yet I am restricted by these chains made by society. If someone wants to go beyond what society expects of them, then why should they not be allowed to? Go beyond what society expects of you, and break those chains.

Those who grant themselves positions of authority rob themselves of the validity bestowed by experience.

taken is the life
we lived
and are allowed, brief
respite
from desire
to be learned
further the beast
released to run
and have the beast, desire us again

Dear Self,
The world is small, they say. I am but an ant in a jungle of bushes --- with eyes but couldn't see. Guided by the smell of faith, I followed the thread to nowhere. Where this heart would lead? I don't know... Pursuing the unknown, hoping this journey will end me where my soul can peacefully rest.
Yours,

Just when the oysters allowed the pearls to shine under the moon light......
Just when the bud allowed petals to smile under glittering light.....
Just when the mist allowed the droplets to create a rainbow on the pane...
Just then I realised how blessed I am!!!

I have no answers, only questions into questions. For me, the greatest miracle and blessing, is being allowed opportunity to enter into the mystery of a new day. The wonder of a day.

If we are friends, I will only stay where I am placed. I will not arrogate to myself any iota of importance if it has not been freely bestowed upon me. I hate friendships of convenience which is activated only when you have need for me. I am a firm believer in reciprocity I will place you exactly where you have placed me in your life

Effort sowed; success reaped. Now, venture forth fearlessly, for the world eagerly awaits your ingenuity. - Aloo Denish Obiero

Throughout history, the leaders of man, were rooted from a castle or the church...
where one would guide by bestowed power,
the other by a faith, unseen, yet to search.

Should you hear a war is started somewhere, it is the war itself make you upset. Shoud I hear, it is a reminder of how I was born, how I grew up as orphan, how I was not all allowed to be in school nor in my home, and how I was all miraculously hiding myself from every morning's and night's soldiers' fight, that make me not only upset, but feel a flashback of being killed over time. I am a middeleastern.

You are not trying to find peace; instead, you are finding your inner peace. That means you will have to take a trip back to the streets you once vowed not to cross again, but not as a victim this time around.
