@ Doc: I could do that. No objections to salted slime,  then?

@ Tim: Oh. my. Goodness. Words failed me....and that's saying something...

 

It's your text. Your choice of words.

Yours.

Why would I object to that?

I've been typing up my old (OLD) poems. What do you all think of this one...?

 

 

Like a song that wove itself into a soul

Like a glance that set into a mood

these are the abstract thoughts

that express what I feel

As a reader I just enjoyed that poem. Expressing our feeling in those small lines is not that easy. Those lines are just great. I can feel through those... :)

You had me at the first line. 

A song weaving itself into a soul is a powerful image that could drive many a poem or story. Then the next line reinforces the notion...so yes, this is compelling to me.

To me AC, this is you.. a weaver, a singer with your pen. So often your words have moved me to tears, touched me deeply. So you do weave words and shape them into people and places and feelings.  And they settle on the page until some one reads them and they are more than just abstract, they become real; like the wind in the desert.

Ok as I planned I had re-written the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyum style...

 

You came to me, Love, from a nameless pole,

brought the joy, brought the zeal; never 'rived sole.

Never stopped kissing me, nor to bliss me.

Oh! God's delightful angel; clasp my soul.

 

What do you think about it guys... :)

Emi, what does 'rived sole mean...?

Thank you for your comments, Parker. For me the process of typing up all of my old poetry is not very fun. Most of the poems 'mean' something to me only in how they remind me of the way I felt when I was 19 or 20, and put me in a bad place. Few of them I read and feel engaged by, but this one I posted because it spoke to me. I think it's lovely, and it shows some potential of the poet I would slowly become :)

 

Thanks again.

Thank you, Emi, for a lovely set of comments. Reading it again now, I wonder if you (or any one of our Live-Poets) think I should change the tense of the first two lines to match the last two…? Thus:

 

Like a song that weaves itself into a soul

Like a glance that sets into a mood

these are the abstract thoughts

that express what I feel

 

 

Maybe that's a more comfortable read…?

I agree this is subtly more comfortable, without diminishing the power of the original image...  :)
