UPDATE: I’m sharing this poem that I created during NaPoWriMo 2012 for today’s dVerse Open Link Night. It’s funny to look at work you created in the past to see where your head was and how sharp your writing chops were.
Also, if anyone is inclined, please also take at look at some recent news I shared about my novel that I’m working to get published. I look forward to reading some great poetry from everyone else as well.
NaPoWriMo 2012 – 30 Poems in 30 Days – Day 25
I’m in one of those “artsy moods” today so clarity is a luxury that I can’t afford. A perfect place to work these feelings out is in the writing so here goes. I hope you can understand:
Axis of Ever
Particles floating around in the now
Penetrate the ever
Flow into the ether
Slip into sound
Never bound
Weightless
Seeping
Drawing of breath
Sweetness covers
Traps
Sealing out
All others
Chemically altering reason
Dissecting and splitting off into selfishness
Spinning into a microcosm of
Ever
Merging into madness
Cradling crazy
Biding time
Until
Ever becomes
Unbearable
Then
Energy seeks
The comfort
Of a warm host
A home neglected
Shuttered and closed
Filled with bombs
Set to blow
Ever better not come
Around here
There will be an explosion
Consciousness will splatter
Into a gorgeous design
Art that
No one ever wants to grace their walls
The ever that was created
Needs to now stand
Alone
Breathing their own oxy generations
Tiling the earth of their creation
For
Ever

My dream friend,
You have a GREAT imagination!! You had me smiling more at the end. Great job as always.
Hey Andy! I was in a different place today! Thanks for being patient with me. 🙂
You had me at the opening lines.. such a wonderful write 🙂
Thank you Sanaa! What a lovely name you have.
These are my favorite sections:
“Energy seeks
The comfort
Of a warm host”
“Ever better not come
Around here
There will be an explosion
Consciousness will splatter”
Hi s! I appreciate your visit to my poetic space.
Have you ever heard the song “Through the Never” by Metallica?
When I read this earlier I was trying to put my finger on the song that was running in the back of my mind and there it is. Of course you use Ever, but there is that same sense of movement in this. Obviously this is abstract – I can feel the shifting and morphing throughout though.
No, I haven’t, but I’m curious to take a listen now. Thanks for sharing that.
I’m listening to the song now and I love it! It does remind me of my poem. Coolness! ?
I admire the lines that S said above me ~ I felt that the ever energy was about to explode into a storm ~ Admire the energy in your words ~
Thank you kind Grace. 🙂
Love the title, conjures up the alternative, SPOKES OF NOW. This abstract piece hauled me along through its marvelous machinations.
I really appreciate the creativeness here….and the strength of your writing.
That brings joy to my heart. Thanks Mary.
I have missed you! It is always interesting to read an earlier write. I am going back to a notebook of 20 years ago and some of them have me saying…really? I was THAT pretensious? LOL. I like the abstract, weaving tone of this.
I’ve missed you as well. I work as a digital marketing manager and most times at the end of the day I’m pooped. But I will make it to dVerse more often. It is a sanctuary and we all need the healing that poetry can bring. Lol! Yes, I have read some of my earlier work and had many a cringe fests! But, we write to grow do we not? 😉
Yes we do. I imagine you are pooped at the end of the day. Before I retired, I’d almost cry on the drive home. Now I’m looking go back to work on short term engineering projects. My husband thinks I’m crazy.
It’s cool to work because you want to and not because you have to. I will get there one day. 😉
Yes you will. Hard work makes the rest that much sweeter. But, money always comes in handy and after a bit, retirement gets boring. Truly.
Yes indeed. I can imagine it would.
Consciousness will splatter
Into a gorgeous design
Art that
No one ever wants to grace their walls
Good stuff!
Thank you! I remember being very stressed the day I wrote this and it helped me calm down. Glad you enjoyed it.
I really like the way it feels like slipping into a dream, and then waking up, the way you work with ever make me feel that even that is just relative.
Hey Bjorn! How are you? Thanks so much. I love your feedback. It always makes me think deeper about my work and writing in general.
“Ever better not come
Around here
There will be an explosion
Consciousness will splatter
Into a gorgeous design
Art that
No one ever wants to grace their walls”
I called the Lord’s name in vain reading that. The entire write resounds with me, but where most of it was ethereal in feel, these lines were so very physical, in contrast. I *felt* this.
Wow! Thank you! I felt your response to it as well. It feels good when readers get it and have strong responses to your work as you know. Thanks again dear!
Beautifully written! I especially liked these lines:
“Merging into madness
Cradling crazy”
Thanks Madeleine! 🙂
