Intimate details escape my memory
So at meetings I invent in-between bits for effect
Confabulation I suspect the living beneath my feet
Whenever a storm arises, there always
Comes a moment of destructive desire
Super ego courting purity
Letting light strike where offerings linger
Great stone rooms satisfying imagination
Great stone men, a-holes in self-cognito
Mirror betrayers, rule benders, curb jumpers,
Devoid of limits, standing on painted lines,
They look around astonished, almost
Completely out of touch, adrift in cliche
Adrift among prattle oceans, buoys within living tides
Most of the time I am working, overall
I know I could love you even
From the middle
Title is pure genius, great hyperbole. Great line: “Super ego courting purity” Adeline
Egad. Meetings. Soul-destroying meetings. A bit of a baffling poem, but I've oft been baffled by the insistence of incompent blowhards for yet another meeting. A sea-change in your consciousness. 'These are the pearls that were his eyes.'
An astoundingly good piece which leaves the reader wondering., .... and wanting more. t x
Poems about nature intrigue me. I find this one also very interesting and worth exploring its meanings. The human nature is hardest to fathom or, at least, to accept at times.
Wow! I know I havn't been around for quite awhile, you do make me use my imagination. this is a whirlwind of a masterpiece Tailor, I have to wrap myself around it again and again, wonderful work Tailor.--Melvina--
The language is superb Tailor and the whole piece a poetic commentary on working and dreaming; on imagination and memory and the personal foibles that arise from the surreal mix of both. Your work teases the reader Tailor and leaves a series of strong impression rather than black and white photographic account. Excellent penning. love, Allie xxxx

I really like this one too Tailor because it opens up so many possibilities. It has its focus, but there is so much swirling around it allusively that it drew me in so deeply I was suddenly 'adrift among prattle oceans', though lacking a bit in the 'super ego purity' department! (an 'in between bit for effect') . Brilliant exit to boot. As always - very special work! jim
