Am

My sixth sense

awakened in violet,

magenta, purple majestic

spewing forth the aura

sensationally aware of

these beings about me

consumed by

rage, passion, love, hate

going about their days

as I simply watch,

wondering

why these emotions are so

out of control,

diatribing

each one of them eaten away

by that which escapes me,

muddles me

as I simply

Am.

Oh.... to be you. How wonderful. I once had a lesson about learning to be. We had to "be a tree". Trees just watch as the world goes on, and lets it go on, which is right. So often I get caught up in emotions, and day to day b.s., that I become more of a human doing than a human being. Or worse, a human-not-doing.... when I should be doing. I love this piece, as it brings me to a place I'd like to be again. I'd like to be a tree. ; )
Excellent, stunning, and exquisite.... this is going into my favs. Wonderful write, thanks so much for sharing.

Great subject. I have this same problem. It's as if you can see yourself from an almost astral projected view spewing nonsense at all the innocent bystanders. Dont ever stop writing.

I see the purple.........i see it ....x0x0x0x0x lovely!

I recognize the feeling here, I didn't know to describe it as purple though.

Very well written and great word choice. I, however, am more of a realist and unless I completly submersed myself in it I found myself to be lost. Again, I reread it and I slowly fell in love with it. Do not take my words in the wrong way i liked it.

It is greatly said, 'why these emotions are so

out of control,

diatribing

each one of them eaten away

by that which escapes me,'

I follow this very much - the passion rules me every where, even when I feel I am not the kind of a person to face the blunt reality, the treachery of the surroundings, and the tough people. Yet, I follow me.

Your poem is instinctive and appealing in its course to please the readers. Really, a good work.

Thank you.

I started to read this poem, and it was immensely romantic, "My sixth sense

awakened in violet,

magenta, purple majestic" ---dreamy images.

Then it became full of fascinating divagations "spewing forth the aura

sensationally aware of

these beings about me

consumed by

rage, passion, love, hate

going about their days"----------diverse emotional highs and depts,

then it entertained me a sophisticated way, strong writing "why these emotions are so

out of control,

diatribing

each one of them eaten away

by that which escapes me,

muddles me

as I simply

Am." --------this blends intelligence and feeling intellect and sensuality. Wonderful composition!!

Powerful poem. This is what your words inspired me to write

How long must these feelings go on?
Watching the early evening moon
Cover you within its love

The aura of light that surrounds you
The reflections of warmth
Seen in your eyes
Consumed
By the emotions
Of your beautiful soul
Light continues shining
Upon you
