Poetry list

raw emotion

(beyond metaphor)

unique untameable
yet without reason
it is madness it has
to run on rails
the mind and body
focusing and releasing
to prevent destruction
the colours and shapes
of feeling erupt in
all manner of languages
but the radiance and
essence are always
diminished it is the
contradiction of self
and awareness of time
and the immeasurable
the poet often paints
and sings seeing
below the surface
yet there is a warren
of concepts telescoping
and swelling
leading us into
the heady atmosphere
of paradox freeing the
rational to burst into
the unknown the
unexpected the utterly
open my feelings are
left behind in the
explosive frenzy of
the journey into this
unknown
and the
unknowable
