Share the bursting
trills and sustaining spices
please ......................................
both sweet and sour....................
Overwhelm

....I will consume you.
melodies of institutes are
songs for forlorn loons
magnifying ...

not meant for human beings
rant and wriggle dance to
shake free............ old tales ........... please!
Like being caught in an explosion, or riding a bagatelle & not knowing where the next hit is coming from, or where the hell it's gonna strike ya... The original inspiration is now irrelevant, what matters, is there once was one and whatever it was, gave birth to 'Bursting'... Liked and liked a lot my friend ..... Neville

Haunting, evocative songs of loons- primordial and ever-seeking...rest...love...fulfillment...God...as do we. Fitting backdrop for the melancholic, searching, despairing and eloquent words of this poem. "Weary...so damn weary...worn and bursting....apart......seams and scenes". Love the statement, the original form and movement of this. " Dance to shake free"- Yes! Wonderful.

So beautiful and Melancholic
they seem sad and weary
from the weight of the world
to be in the loving arms
of the LORD because
life is tiring...
I know
the feeling maybe
when I'm with my
family things might
be calm again but
God family and
friends
help until than.
melodies of institutes are
songs for forlorn loons
magnifying ...
constituting ...
(as if they couldn't sing for themselves)
weary
worn
and
bursting ............................ apart
seams and scenes
I enjoyed the poem and the
Video happy sad lovely.

Happy Easter Celebration by the way ;)
This strikes me as deeply emotional like someone carrying the weight of the world and with that burden they have lost themselves. The words "overwhelm me.... I will consume you" there is such emotion there. I also really like the way you use the word bursting, there's energy in that word. My review is rather poor but I enjoyed this a lot. Izzy

That one line...coming where it did...the way you penned it...touched me. I don't know why. It just triggered a response. I also loved this line:
Overwhelm
me
....I will consume you.
So few words...yet so rich in emotion and meaning!
weary ...so damn weary
worn
and
bursting ............................ apart
I feel every word...and immediately empathize with the emotions driving your pen.
What a beautifully crafted piece, E! Kudos!

after some time we are so weighed down by emotional baggage, our song becomes a shrill sound..not a melody but a forlorn wail...
and there is no calm, no contentment left...if only we didn't think so much, and felt more.

Now... 'sophisticated skank' that was just sublime :) for musicians skank has a bit of a reggae groove, both a dance and a style of guitar strum. Very cool poem E! R xo

I love your style. Wide open to the experience and the sensations they inspire. Well formed as well. I always feel my form is lacking when I see one so well done. Bravo.

This morning as I began to log in to WC, it occurred to me what an inspiring and comfortable place this has become for me.
