En Passant

between the space of “aim” and “fire” is the place I least desire life, in here, is infinitely small in this space, we are nothing at all and if I am fire and you are aim then the space between is our disdain rook and pawn their blood devour the space between, a burning tower hate and love, infinity the space between, a stagnant sea a policeman knocks with lowered gaze the silent space, infernal blaze life and death, eternal story beset by haunting purgatory breath inspire, breath released a breath withheld, is a breath deceased space infliction rogue design let’s rearrange this paradigm compression rate initiate death and life amalgamate

A parodixical amalgum of text here Mat..And yet I Read..Read of angst..Of realisation.' And a desire To grasp..True reality.! real quality the very Ore 'as it were' of eternity.. The breath of Divinity is pursued by your lines.' You hunger For explanation i feel in this piece' much thought Is placed in word choice.' In the end though freedom is dispensed..It cannot be attained, In the true sense..We must open our being and You are on that journey..Be well' stay inspired!

stay inspired as well and i will certainly dig back through your extensive archive (making stops along the way) in search of this poem's doppelganger (if not in content then at least in spirit)

again, an articulate and thoughtful response that speaks to the essence of journey as being just that, the essence of truth itself as something that is not the means to an end but rather the immutable continuum of possibility -

This is a powerful poem; the slightly dark edge to it grabs the reader's attention. I was intrigued from beginning to end. So well written...Maria

Woah,firstly I'm going to save this in my FAVs, what a profound and magnificent write which so effortlessly explores the dimension of 'space' between various contradictory emotions..This whole poem captivated my attention and compelled me to ponder on these deep thoughts that you've so marvelously compiled in this poem."and if I am fire and you are aim then the space between is our disdain","breath inspire, breath released, a breath withheld,is a breath deceased" Truly one of my favs from you!

Incredibly powerful first line - which had me held in the moment before action, action that cannot be undone. Perfect poetic line which snatched my mind and transported elsewhere with immediacy - very well done
