dr_con Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Before Dark I Good you noticed I started drinking out of depression rather than joy Sometimes the shadow we cast is of a past life today in the bright cold morning the figure was from Flaubert maybe Doyle or Dickens A flared cape and a Germanic travelers hat the hint of smoke from what may be a wand what did he know of war or love- more than this present incarnation- who needs to be retaught the preciousness of this gift this life at once romantic and ordinary always striving to be different more this than that that than this watching these shadows and their associations believing the crowd of heroes villains and none are absolute and solid until the inevitable night obscures these pretensions reducing distinctions Now we see what will come.

rumisong Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Gezzuss, what is it with youall today? this is FANTASTIC stuff, DC (&J) the very first line brought me right where I wanted to be for the rest of it-- which is actually, a comfortable place for me to be in-- with which to watch the world from that perch-- past and present, within and without-- Im used to this kind of world-- a sad and Flagrantly intellectual one-- deeply philosophical, that would drink philosophy under the table, if it wanted too-- Poem Noir-- yes...

tonyv Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Just what I needed, Juris, some more depression, lol. But really, the last lines -- Now we see what will come -- are especially bodeful. I can feel the coming of the night. Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandra Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Again, something different than usual from you, Juris. I loved this poem. It tells many things. I like the title, and the ending part is wonderful, it gives a sense of calm but it's very powerful. I must say, this is beautiful poem.

Tinker Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Wow DC, I love it. The honesty of this piece carries it. Life isn't always pretty, it just is what it is.
