"My softer heart was a free verse"
THIS poem is why I consider you top-shelf
Just. F*****g. Scary. Good.
"My exact shadow had a resurgence of subdued names."
I am not even sure, still, how you give such vibrancy to everyday thoughts...
Reminds me of Bob Dylan, my namesake...
Nature, sounds, beat, rhythm, feeling, sight, smell, touch...
I have praised it before, and I am here again...
MANY artists seek a "unique" or "different" way of approaching the world
So that they can give it back to those who partake, in a "unique or different way"...
However, I am a firm believer that the through the prism of normalcy, everyday, and that which we use most often...
this is what carries the strongest messages...
Just have to look harder...

Aye, ditto, mate...
Keep being a master of natural
'My softer heart was a free verse, flowing from generous hands and across fences.'
In that wonderful line I perceive your creative free spirit and mindset; but also, of course, the true function of free verse as a non-restrictive poetic form; though I must remind fellow poets that free verse may be non-restrictive when compared to rhyme but there is a poetic methodology in its right application (when properly understood by a studious and passionate poet).
One thing is for sure; whether free verse, blank verse or rhyming poetry, we poets have a wide range of poetic forms and devices in which to express ourselves. A poet must be versatile.
Bravo!!!

You have a really interesting way of putting words together. It caught me off guard and then hooked me and reeled me in. The meaning of it echoes through my being and calling on me to recognize my own exact shadows when the read was over.

i wholeheartedly thank you for your gracious sentiments, and never ending encouraging words! you’re so very appreciated...
this is so interesting, Sami....some days i just want to send my shadow out to mingle with people, and keep myself hidden inside.
i like the idea of Blue Curtains...with blue being sadness...
guilt, throwing stones...not feeling kind to others...questioning my humanness...i have done that more times than i can count.

In those rarest of moments when the mind and hand glide across atmospheres of selves, names, places we all mingle it seems in the mystery of who.

I like the title too: The mystery Of Who!
You are wonderful.
A most intriguing poem Sami , images of those who live in their own shadows trapped that can only come out through writing like poetry, their only escape route comes to mind. A multi faceted poem indeed.

Wow, aren't we all, a poet's heart is not always rhymes and rhythm, its free verse, a free flowing water cascading into words of hope and love despite sadness and darkness wall up... Well done brother..
