Not Wanting to Understand

Settling in the land of wandering

Life is more than I can bare

Not asking if this is fair

Knowing this has a greater meaning

                     &

Its purpose may or not want to complete me…

I want you ALL to know all of me,

So I do not build tents for shelter

But you have to come find me.

Showing my true colors and disassembling

The reflectors,

So you may enter my life.

I want to love for nine hundred and twelve years

The average life of the patriarchs.

My heart knows that I’ll be long gone before

Nine hundred and twelve,

But my love, words, and spirit will soar and

Speak to those who indeed need uplifting…

I live with compassion, unselfishness, hopes,

Dreams, insecurities, ...everything!

Representing a unity of one soul and two bodies.

It was meant to be.

For my missing rib that I have yet to come across,

I wish you a great journey ‘till the day we re-meet.

Sharing days of everlasting ecstasy...

Not eating off the tree of life,

Not wanting to be immortalized,

Not wanting to know all…

For all and our lives will be ruined,

Living without meaning...

Oh that ragged journey to find out missing half...It's a rocky one some times filled with dips and turns and reflections and mirages that look like the real thing. I love that you use biblical references here to describe a long lasting relationship that speaks so much of your faith...and so she will come. And she'll be perfect for you dear Adam or maybe Seth or Noah would be better...since they did not partake of the forbidden..or so we are led to believe.

This is really a great review!
Thank you for reading Jan.

[JayceeC]

You are always welcome my friend.

[Caladoscope]

Really glorious writing that nails the mood. Makes me catch my breath...

Hello,

Nice poem. There seems to be a story-like build up in the first part, ending with "uplifiting...". In my opinion the poem is finished there, you disturb the build up and rhythm by starting what seems to be another poem on its own, starting from "I live with..." to "living without meaning".

Regards, Sesame

Disturbance is my middle name... but I think you have to read it more closely to get the true meaning out of it...
Thank you for reading!

[Sindu]

It felt more than a few big words put together to make something dramatic. This seems like you did your work, put your time into it and I like the intensity, the pattern of how it goes.. :)

Living without meaning.. seems viable!

[sinNsincerity]

I said that because If we were to be all knowing like God, our reasons for living would be pointless.
That drive or that tiny bit of flame that keeps us going everyday would die...
Therefore, what would be the point of anything.
Thank you for reading hon.

[Sindu]

I agree! Without that thirst, there is no meaning to anything. Diamond or dirt, it would be left unexplored..
you're welcome.

Ah...ignorance may indeed have been bliss...once
An impassioned plea to return to Eden or at least to experience a piece of it in the form of a soul mate, here on Earth.
None of us asked to be here - to be separated from 'The One' who is surely missing us just as much but here we are, Sin.
Your writing speaks to the patriarch and matriarch in us all dear poet and thinker.

[sinNsincerity]

Yes indeed in the form of a soul mate knowing life is tainted, but not wanting to make the same mistake A&E did.
Thank you for taking the time to decipher these words Anto my friend!

[Ishita Dixit]

You brought your point home nicely boy!
Living without meaning is like living like a corpse.
Nicely done!

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for reading Ishita

Love it, I don't know much more to say other than, that I enjoy your poems. So touching, so inspiring, moving and REAL. Thanks for sharing.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you for reading hon.
I'm doing my best to make it as real as can be because every poem I've ever written is real to me!
The world doesn't need anymore bullshit!

[TheOne&Only]

A write filled with hope.

[sinNsincerity]

I'm sure of it also, thank you for reading Melinda!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

Nice write... Yeah. I'm living without meaning, without hope, without happiness....yet still for some reason i wont die. Don't want to stand up, no need for up lifting, since i will give up again, as soon as some new problem comes. So whatevs. But, the poem i like. Nice job.

[sinNsincerity]

That's because you still have your soul...
Thank you for reading!

[Dani The Unreviewed]

You are welcome. But i have to say that i've got no soul and no heart left... But thats not important.
