amazing all the love

written by a substitute muse, still waiting for the real muse to return

amazing all the time 

you have

when you no longer dedicate

your life

to hell

time for roses 

and love

far away places

amazing all the love 

you have

when you no longer dedicate

yourself

to devils

amazing the muse 

so sensitive

to rejection

. i'm a fan of the substitute muse too ... keep both of 'em in your harem ... no eviction notices now ... as for your verse ... it truly is amazing ... your recipe of magic potion is unique and potent ... there's so much to learn from you, paul ... so much ... the last three lines brought tears to my eyes ...

far away places
zone in to utter clarity
and thus, life happens
here and there
and nowhere in particular
new colors make
random appearances
and thus, life happens
even if it does,
in far away places

yes it is short and powerful poem. life is bright once you stop surrounding yourself ith negative subjects.

There one minute, defying and gone the next, a substitute? Well, I lack those! lol Great poem!

Felt nice. The work is blunt and abrupt, but somehow flows easily. I credit the use of spacing in achieving this paradoxical flow. The title's namesake is paradoxical to the poem's content as well. The work speaks of Hell.
Where is all the love?
The poem does move me in sentiments. The poem is almost a plea of forgiveness.

...Truth?

"amazing the muse
so sensitive
to rejection"

I find her in darkness and in light, and in both circumstances, this is so true... She is sensitive to rejection... She hates me when I feel...nothing at all... Your poem, Paul... It is truth. I like this.
