AWASH IN THINGS UNSEEN

AWASH IN THINGS UNSEEN

A Poem by M. L. F.
"

Of belief & disbelief in unseen things...And to those whose eyes are open wide to the realms of the shadows of good & evil, and those whose are locked shut...Of one man who uses lies & logic to hide..

"

I WONDER AS I DRIFT HERE LOST IN THUNDEROUS IMAGINATIONS

IF SEEING GHOSTS IN EVERY CORNER TIS MAD MAN’S ABBERRATION

THE DREAMING DAYS BLEED INTO NIGHT AWASH IN THINGS UNSEEN

AND YET I SEE BEYOND THICK FROST THROUGH OTHERS’ MYSTERIES

THE SLEEPING MAN SHALL WIELD HIS LOGIC LIKE A MIGHTY SWORD

BUT ALL THE WHILE HIS EYES ARE SHUT TO TRUTHS HE CAN’T AFFORD

HE SMEARS HIMSELF IN EVIL LIES TO TWIST TRUTH INTO THEORY

YET ALL THE WHILE THE UNDERWORLD EXISTS AMIDST THOSE HEARING

THE SECRET PATH THAT OPEN EYES ENVISION IS NEVER LOST

AND THOSE WHO SEEK ITS TRUTH AVAIL TO PAY ITS HEAVY COST

I WONDER STILL WHILE DRIFTING LOST IN THUNDEROUS IMAGINATIONS

IF LIGHT AND DARKNESS EVEN CROSS THEIR LOGICAL CONTEMPLATIONS

Best piece I've read so far. I dig the rhymes and flow. Trapped in dark and being lost. Everybody search for light and truth. I've been there in the corners. Can you blame me?
The better path will open up to you finding yourself in the sight of belief. That's where it led me. Enlightening to me to find myself PARTLY in this ghost of a man you write about but light has washed me purer already. My attempt to leave a less shallow review, ms.

Your words certainly describes the depth of imagination. "The sleeping man shall wield his logic like a mighty sword"

This sounds like one of our political campaigns going on now here in America. It's dark and dreary, much like our future.
I loved this phrase,"But all the while his eyes are shut to truths he can't afford."
Great stuff.

Fabulous. One of my fav. Poetry. Liked... even loved the composition of your words. Rhythmic pattern is whole what makes your write rhythmically reading. Deep thoughts. Extraordinary visions. And a very beautifully presented poetry you come up with. Keep up the great work!

Thank you sir..
"thunderous imaginations"... two long words at the end don't read well with me?
*Capitalise your 'i's or keep them all small? Richy does this a lot lol.
'tis' - Can I ask why you used this word?
"through others' mysteries"

Yeah. Like it overall, just the long words in first line and two last lines don't flow well? Could you say 'thunderous imagining'? It would mean changing the end of the second line then...

You rhyme some lines yet not others. Is this intentional?

One of the best I have read on this site...if you have published any book, I want buy a sign copy. Looking forward to read more of your work! This was Magnum-opus.

Love it!
You did a great job intertwining a thoughtful (that's not the right work--I can't put my finger on what I want to say) thread through the poem: "...man shall wield his logic like a mighty sword...". I also love the line "the secret path that open eyes envision is never lost". It transported me to remember that the path we're on is always there.
Thank you!

Thanks Zoli, I am glad you got the vibe of it, and thank you for the read :)
Misty..
Interesting perspective on this dichotomy. The eerie atmosphere utilised on one part in contrast to the other makes the differences more visible, well done. I really enjoyed reading it and musing on it.

An eerie metaphor for our subconscious lives. The “id” if you will. My sleeping man wanders in my dreams and sometimes takes me to places I don't want to go; memories I thought were buried.

Very good. Has a Lovecraft feel to it.
