Eight Lines Poem by Daniel Brick
Eight Lines
When we named each other,
language played its essential role:
to identify the beloved (Oh, what splendor!) ,
and then fall into a protective silence.
When we named each other,
every thing else fell into place,
settled into its comfortable niche,
except for our restless, love-mad selves.
Thank you :) :) eight number when you rotate to be in horizontal form can be a symbol of infinity, i believe your eight lines are enough to be the starter and the ending and cycle goes on...
Clever eight lines...how come this eight lines explain so much beautiful in detail and realness... :) Thanks for this beautiful eight lines Daniel!
The challenge of this sort of poem is to know when to stop and resist the urge to write another eight lines! I like yiour poen-name. TheUnwritten Soul is a fine metaphor for the source of our poetic creativity which seems to be deeper than speech, maybe deeper than thought itself, where things are fully whole.
Love is an emotion that is felt deep inside the heart.Lovers identify each other through subtle exchange of words.But once they know each others' feelings, words fall silent as love overwhelms them.
Your comment in prose reveals the beating heart of my poem. The silence you describe is exactly the result of overwhelming love. You compressed so much truth about love into those three sentences, they complete the love experience that begins with my EIGHT LINES.
Well these eight lines are worth a million. Love is a complicated thing. By naming our emotions and naming the people in our life, we give some kind of meaning to life. But a love-sick soul finds no comfort in a calculated n organized setup of life. It always craves for things that are unworldly. A10
EIGHT LINES WORTH A MILLION - I wanted to suggest a lot in a few words. I'm glad it worked for you! I had written another 4-line stanza and I had to fight my urge to make the poem longer. Your comment makes me realize then 8 lines are short and sweet, nothing more needed.
In life, there are really some people who deserve to be name in mind. Beautiful.
