Eternal Recurrence
Affirmation if you please Generating will with ease Positive, that is the way To follow truth in light of day
Return forever to the start Unfolding strong would be the smart Path to take, inside an hour Pack it thick, power shall flower
If the opportunity were to arise Do not dare alter some reprise But bravely, strongly face the day Refuse to pursue a weaker way
Infinity breeds eternal recurrence A stronger soul must have endurance Plausible, yes, in fact it is But that is not a point of his
The idea keeps steam for its elegance And prudence knows its precise relevance A man must live as if today were it With fortitude, saying yes – and grit
So we have the utmost strength To live, and work, and breathe – at length To do it differently, again Would be to lose – one wants to win

Ha, good one DQ. I actually laughed out loud in a moment of insight! Inspire Heraclitean, philosopher's muse!
...The river I stepped into once, is gone, for it is this, now this, As lightning courses through all, it cannot miss. Beings on hills aflame, the wise hold no wrists, For there's no echo to this moment, when One, all, is.

False hopes. Enough ropes. Heightened learning. Equality burning.
Structure defining. Societal redisigning. Educational levers. Elite deceiver.
Basic rights. Fundamental fights. Children purposed. Motives surfaced.
Private public. Sickening trick. Glaringly scary. Societal tick.
Fairness hidden. Horizons forbidden. No more. Without less.
-------------------- Just a fool on the hill.

Eternal flame High beyond the sky, you fly Igniting the shadows With illumination that you bestow... You have earned your slumber tonight For where would we be, Devoid of the warmth of thee? Without photosynthesis, To forge the air we breathe? You need no creed, no dogma Or religious propaganda To seed the feed we need To proceed into conscious beings... Our symbiosis makes us one You are the brightest of the stars You are our cosmic candle You are our life-sustaining Sun

that is how i write too, most often. sometimes i'll literally write things down and arrange it later, and mostly it's always from the same stream of thought, generally, other wise i just write it off, and save it for later (the line or whatever).
that works too.

i think the best is the other way, but i don't sit down often and write out a poem like a story or anything...mostly if the dedicate some time to it it'll be a generative burst, but depending on that it might just be generally fanned out through a bit for some time, i might come back and tweak it a bit (daammn);--- though the best way is through a long sustained effort of writing a genuine narrative into more extended burst;----- if you wish you can contract the lines into a waveform like through soundwaves man;-- you can breath in with words in your hand and formation occurs, and you can breath out a mountain which you can also, if you can combine all these efforts & accordance's in place, trace an epic poem leading out into of sweet nothingness.
the sloughing effort.

What you say really makes a lot of sense to me! Wise words and I will do well to keep it in mind. I need to experiment and evolve to a higher degree. For years I was just writing song lyrics and writing music for some of them on my guitar. Trying to write poetry is different though.

it's closest approximation i think, it is machinations; machinations is the essence of poetry. but of the mind and spirit and soul, and other concepts, imagery, stories, ect...anything, you wish.

Everything we are resembles flow. The terrain of existence over which we glow. Ripples of interactions, chaotic in form. Waves on turbulent waters conciousness storm. On which Philosophical boats sail, laden with spice. Understanding the river is never the same twice. The drip of words squeezed from a mountain of thought. Have to pass through the filter of what we've been taught. Take away the restrictions by forces unseen. Come closer to free form being. Flexible fluid and never fixed. Changeable reality forever mixed.

Of The Bend
this cicatrix of mine is my friend, and one and only charm... is this lattice of faces that is my zen of the bend the walls of umbrage peregrinate to kill & find suppage
'twill mend i blade like the grass, becoming vitiation of time... is the chances that i'm taking my brain as if it was in a coffin, shaking, a candle towards the end of which, ready to consume the bend
canting & playing mad the milling 'round is getting drab now the stratagems are flawed outlet media with the outward goal there's no foregoing gaol & now there's no good places for the money to go to feed the poor & pay for homes socialsociety & crime-dirged streets professional leaders sucking our teats

The word, a word followed, is a seemless trace, A thought, once met, like a discontinuous face, But sleep, dream, she'll put us aright, all okay, Your well, is well lined it pours to night, till day.
