MYTHOPOESIS--revised

MYTHOPOESIS

 

Poetry is Realty’s  dream

 A deeper sense and  perception

 Only the heart and soul can see

 Where Reason fails to speak

 Its own insanity.

 An act of creation

 The myth of perceived

Truths and Absolutes

A place where the metaphor

 Breaks all logic and bounds

 To tell what cannot be told

 To sweep imagination

 Beyond what seems

 Into  

 The  madness

 Of  nightmares and dreams

 The darker side of the moon

 Our visions of mystical seeing

 Thunder and lightenng

 That strike the brain

 Forcing flashes of  special knowing.

 A magic passing through.

 A sublimity unseen

 Unspoken

 Before

Mind and Soul in Climax

Reeling

 As  sudden new worlds unfold.

Painting the frescoe of your inner mind,

Variations on the theme and this theme is stupendous. You are treating it with your usual thorough understanding. Your insight into the wonderful worlds of poetry that have taken part in painting the fresco of your inner mind, such colours flaming then settling to the fine harmonies of expression worthy of a great master. I hinted at other variations and this is a superb one, always you move us my Longobardolino. Oh its so exciting riding the meanings of the words in this one. As aye Annuccia

Dear Longo

Some differences, like I felt the ending was stronger and you tidied up the presentation side of it and I see you omitted some words to replace with others. I enjoyed it both ways. Very well written and you know I enjoy your poetry. lol. Love to all and have an even better new year, that is an order. Lol. Love From Lyz. XX
