One

One exploded expansively into silent splinters

sending prismatic whole fragments of completeness

through the perfection of the Pillars of Knowledge

spiralling

tumbling

falling

into the manifest of the mirror of forgetfulness.

Forasmuch we desired to look ourself in the face

deed answered thought.

And since it is impossible to view the whole at the one moment

every heart holds a separate world.

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: Western Australia, AUS

Favorite Poets: Favourite poets? So many, so varied. I like particular songs, not necessarily the singer... and the same goes for poetry. I can honestly say though, that Alfred Noyes' The Highwayman was what inspired my love of poetry - my mother began reading it to me when I was still a baby, and it became my favourite bedtime story

Super write Judy

I guess we seldom see the beauty that is right there in front of us: "Every heart holds a separate world"...I love this. I think you may have typed this line wrong by mistake... {Forasmuch we desired to look ourself in the face}....... [For as much we desired to look ourselves in the face] Xena Quote: Science is what you know; philosophy is what you don't know. - Bertrand Russell

Dearest Judd

I loved that last line Judd every heart holds a separate world only one suggestion I would make for this ?? "Forasmuch as we desire to look ourself in the face in deed answered thought." has better rhythm and the message for me is clearer hun there is no right or wrong in Freestyle ... or blank verse your doing beautifully love and big hugs JayCee x x x (“In time we hate that which we often fear.” William Shakespeare quote)

thanks jc

but 'in deed answered thought' doesn't really say it for me..... i understand the rhythm you're missing, perhaps a comma after 'face' or 'so deed amswered thought'??? what do you think? thanks for the supportive comments and the lesson in free and blank verse xxxx love and hugs judd xxxx http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TwentyMyPrettyPonies.html

The use of language...

Love the use of language. Nice poem. And about free verse and blank verse: I agree with Jayce. Ain't nothing wrong with it!

Some say the end of a line

Some say that the end of a line signifies a stop (comma or period) that it is understood. I think a poet does what need be done. A comma could go after face but I did in fact stop there. Thought provoking and I see the language as perfect. A great reading, Judy, Thanks, Mark people who hate attract people who hate and in the end they all end up hating each other
