Voyeur

She takes the sun by its heart

leaves it spinning in peculiar emotion

Stars know we have no other means but to ponder

I think of what comes in the nothingness 

what exists before our minds have proclaimed what

has already made a place in the turbulent wheel

The rainy day tapping into a stream forever connected

the visceral groans of the continuous wars asleep beneath the sea

pulsing into the sharp darkness of our tingling ears

The mountain's slow journey into a flat plateau

wind with its sandy voice venturing 

twilight swirling along the hairlines of

our bleached and rigid skulls 

In one step of all directions I see that she’s 

looking toward  something I will never see

something we will never share

and I know how alone she lives

and I wonder how beautiful or lonely she must feel

so delicately perfect in this turbulent wheel

as I hold the sun by its heart

leaving me spinning in peculiar emotion

This is my poem. I can't believe how this poem transports me. Your imagery is so fluid & vivid & visceral. The way your word streams caress the tongue & mind. I'm really blown away. The last verse could've been written about me by all the men I've loved but left over my lifetime. It took me all these years to realize there's not enuf time or energy in life to spend anymore on the pursuit of someone who "gets me" & who also stimulates my mind & body exquisitely enuf. Maybe everyone feels that way but most are okay with accepting the limitations of ordinary coupling. I have no idea, but this poem felt like a magic carpet ride to all the places I love to go (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I just loved your last stanza, this is full of emotion that it slowly tugs a bit. Very nicely written

[Perdition]

I had to read this one again myself..we tend to leave the last ones as quickly as possible to start on the next but it is a strange feeling to go back and read some from time to time to get that "who wrote this?" feeling ..lol..Thanks again Ang-X

[poetgurl]

One that has the power to take the sun by its heart has immortal strength to fight any storm. And we can feel that once we face that or gain the power once inside us.
She's very admiring for whenever we find us complaining for bric-a-brac problems in our lives.
Your writeups keep poignant meanings everytime, your pen is fortunate!

And what if she is God..or the other half of my unconscious consciousness? We see as both male and female ya know.lol. No ..very profound truths young lady. Now as for the royal jelly...yes..it was delicious but that stuff was lethal ..my eyes grew ten tine wider and my fangs even worse with only a spoonful. Thanks so much Tahsin...your insights are always a meditation for the soul. Smiles~

[Poetic Beauty]

The landscape described in this poem are breathtaking

[Perdition]

Is not..lol. Thank Poet Beauty...hopefully the emotional backdrop got through as well..Smiles!

I would dare to say that I find myself in some of these lines. someone might say what the first verse has to do with the following ones, but I knew where You were going, and Your last verse said that I was right. this is not of loneliness as much as of let me find a suitable word... "Goddess... Angel" maybe, someone who is yes, lonely and choose to be away from the world and people, yet lives in a world of bliss, it's like she feels Heaven while she is on earth, deep down she believes strongly in what she feels even if the whole world tells her she is crazy... she doesn't care, as she doesn't care to explain or express herself. in that beautiful world comes the temptation to be a part of it, and a part of her, a world that is made by her heart, a world of peace, love and dreams in our hectic reality. a poem to ponder on dear Joe.

[Perdition]

Well then let's not spoil it ..lol. The only thing I could add to your wonderful review would be the opening and closing certainly confirms your wonderful interpretation..but there is always some little bit left in our pondering...one tiny droplet perhaps from the stars..Thanks Light!

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Those emotions travelling deep it’s only for the heart to keep...it keeps turning ...incomplete...until our souls the answers meet...then it’s complete...wonderful words...🌹

[Perdition]

Again many thanks..and yes .the timing seems to always be a spin away. Almost as If the poet must love the poetry and forgo all else...some days it makes sense..others..Smiles~

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

Round and round...circle of life...🌹

[jacob erin-cilberto]

loneliness is a sad state...
I like this poem so much...what was there before the thought came...
it is like the creation...land, water, man....all came after nothing was there at all.
Do we create the thought...or does it create itself...
and how lucky are we to get to have thoughts..and as poets, to write them down...
and hopefully help fill a void for our readers.

In the beginning there was the word and the word was with God...etc..if you believe your bible but yes the perception of not knowing what experience another person is dreaming ..should Lord Vishnu awake we are all lost to his dream of existence..I tell you it's a beast of awareness and in the end you think ..okay ..Perception and Expectation...but then...what is awareness?.. In a way it's a curse and in another way the greatest gift you could ever ask for...to simply imagine and keep track of all the minutia because no one sees what happens in the blink ..does it all go away?? And what of the whales...where are they right now?..lol.We may be the last generation to write poetry as we know it. Quantum computers released..I do so marvel over the next few coming decades.Keep that old car J. and thanks!!
