Lugubriosity

Rapture, torn asunder by evil necessary kismet
Prematurely ripping self from self without ceremony
Sleep, the only refuge from doleful meditation

Exquisite words of lovesome destiny and ardent lofty dream
Are of but little comfort against sagacious musings;
Cinematic scrollings of tempestuous contingency

Father Time, the master of hypomnesia
Is the warden of this prison of separation
Fear of fading resolution an all consuming blaze








 

Author's Note

Got the blues and a broken guitar string...

[Corset]

oh no...blues and broken strings do not go together. I have to admit to having to look up lugubriosity. I really appreciate the use of extensive vocabulary you use in just about all your writes. If it is kismet, then is it possible to sink into a weakening resolution? But that is not the real issue addressed in this write though, the focusing issue is the fear of it weakening, due to human frailty or weakness or lack of confidence in there-of and no strings, damn.

Your words are certainly flamboyant, with deeply embedded meanings. I don't understand any of it, such as the expression "ripping self from self". I have few good teeth left so I need something soft to chew. I'm sure others can wrestle with this chunk of buffalo jerky (I used to like jerky). There is definitely a place for esoteric poems that require mental gymnastics to understand, and this one is right up there. I do the child-level, simpleton poems, for my simple brain. Keep on writing.

This is absolutely gorgeous, Mike. It may be one of your most melodic writes. I feel your pain in waiting, your yearning in reverie. This is most exquisitely expressed and i'm in awe of it. You have truly transcended in your poetry, each write is a new and breathtaking adventure. Your words are shining with finesse, fraught with hurt, lofty with an optimistic hope for love. Each line is perfect and i'm in awe of it. You are an extremely good poet and I am humbled by your words, like always. Wonderfully written. :)
