THREE FACES

Yes, three faces -- among the multitudes -- to see. A couple of days ago, I saw a remarkable face on Skype, the face of a young woman named Joy.

My nephew Tyler is visiting her at her family's home in Buenos Aires during his winter holiday break from college. He met her some time ago in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and spent only a short time with her but made plans with her then to visit her in Argentina.

I hadn't met her before the Skype call, but it took just a moment of seeing her Joy-full smile to understand why Tyler decided to spend his break with her. It wasn't an ordinary smile. It was a smile that just came welling up from her being and brimming over from her with no affectation, continually and more and more joyful as the minutes of the call passed. It felt as if her beaming face was a healing vortex.- Dick

INTEGRITY

I'm still not getting it but you have some raw feeling leaking through there man, and elsewhere
maybe it would good for others to understand how you feel in a way that they can understand?
we think our troubles are so unique, that not knowing their story no-one 'other' could possibly fathom their depths and twists
so our minds hold us in their thrall and we churn like worms on its hooks
needing freedom,
trading it in for images and concepts.

I think there is a place for being elusive, not sowing seeds in sand etc.
but I doubt that this is it.

who am I to say?
I am you, in a way
are you listening to yourself?- DJW

the sky
unopened

the awe
blows me away
like wind on the sand
and the moon rising

PAIN OF ELEGY

Lord, how I love your poems. I rarely if ever, get them intellectually (why would anyone want to grasp a poem intellectually is beyond me), but oh, how they resonate in me! You and Silent are cut from the same cloth. Sometimes I think you're the same person.-  Kailashana

I see the power, and emotion, in his language too and have asked him to help me understand what he is saying twice now with no response but, in response to your (why would anyone want to grasp a poem intellectually is beyond me) I will share my thoughts with you, with whom I already feel a deep respect.

I don't think a poem is a piece of art. I think it is a communication.
Art, for one crude definition, may be that expression of being that has no borders or boundaries and can be interpreted by the beholder however they see fit. Expressive art does not need a listener, a watcher, it just is, with or without you.

The concept of using language to express being is, in itself, bordered by the fact that we each of us share the collective mind that was bought into being by those very same words. Without language we humans would not think, this is a fact. We would be, and feel, and exist, but we would not think. Our thoughts can in turn be used to show each other the content, the warp and weft of our minds, and this is more than good, I would argue it is necessary if we are to mend our wicked ways, at all.

The limitation of everyday language is that it hopelessly fails at expressing the indefinable, naturally, by definition.

When we wish to communicate something other than the technical 'how to, where from, what for' of being and reach into the deeper nature of our consciousness then the very words that we need to use to understand each other serve to both open the gate and then effectively stand in its way.

Enter the poem.

A way of expressing the extraordinary in an ordinary way, through speech. Music, painting, dreaming, dancing, cooking, love-making, all the non-verbal ways of connecting to each other, of being, are gloriously free of this terrible impediment of words and their interpretations. Hence the poet's natural wish to free the language so and loosen any bounds of convention.

I understand this impulse but I reject it, only and purely in the poem. This is my reason

If I hear someone and I do not understand them then I have the choice to ignore them or to try harder or differently to understand them better. If I just ignore them then, well who cares really, people are ignoring each other all over the world right now, so what. If I try harder or differently to understand them and I get somewhere then great, well done me. But if I still do not get what they are saying no matter how much I squint my eyes at it then I have another option, to ask them to how me understand it, or even just to tell me again, in a way that I may grasp.

For myself, I feel that if someone has not understood me then the fault lies with me first. I have been too obscure, or clever, or elusive. Often it is my ego's wish to appear mystical and wise that is behind the veiled language that I have used to effectively hide what it was that I wanted to say. When I could have said something simply I said it with some flourishes, some panache, and left my listener untouched or worse, bewildered.

Most people choose the 'ignore' option. Which is why poets are generally left only talking to each other.

We can do better, but 'we' don't have to. I am only speaking for myself.
What do you think?- DJW

1st. Did you feel the (pain) or results of the explosion at the market? 2nd.

First stanza depicts a family tragedy, 2nd stanza yet burning of tree signifying burial, yet time went on, 3rd stanza- you were so sad that part of you felt dead, you were confused, 4th stanza- at the very height of all this it felt empty, you asking about the tiny truth allowed to us insignificant (primate) man or are we to become as animals (snakes) destroying our own.- LightH2O

ASH POEM

So true, rebuttal will not convey the truth, the reality... love that stanza before the last (4th stanza) sounds like you were at a funeral listening to music and arms unwrapped depict you're not dead, so "arms around the portrait of life" means you're alive. Last stanza is a little mysterious to me? Hmm, if he is a priest why does he deny the god? this is a wild guess on last stanza, could it be that the priest has swollen knuckles from practicing gliding sport, so he is not really interested in god but more on doing his sport? in other words the priest's heart is not really in his job, just a pretender, therefore the words "who denies the god" You sure make me think...

GOLD-TIPPED

I can't fault this poem! I'd love to leave some helpful feedback, but frankly I'm intimidated by its quality. It's so sweet and sorrowful, and creates such a beautiful sense of yearning in the reader. If I'm reading the themes correctly, the entwined motifs of natural beauty and remembered sensual love, and in particular the metaphors used, put me in mind of all the best qualities of Pablo Neruda, yet the poet's own voice remains clearly identifiable throughout. An absolute pleasure to read.- Bokononsense

THE KISS ……………….

Satish as always a privilege to read your work, the metaphors with such contrast that take the reader to the innocent and the guilty and their "marriage" in war. The Holocaustal and all victims of any war who only smell the incense of fire over "rain". Your "songs" of peace will be forever heard and remembered as you continue in your work for peace and truth. Thank you Satish.- Marcia Schechinger, USA

SOME QUESTION MARKS

Satish thoughts to be considered after the facts. Sad so many were lost to "haloed tombstone", before they were executed without any source of savior. I read your work and think of the Holocaust and can not fathom how such tragedy could have taken place, and how can 'sick men' get such followings -- many "question marks" in the waste of a human life. Always an honor to read your work Satish, thank you.-Marcia Schechinger, USA

ONCE UPON

I love that second stanza, in all the absurdity of the world you were still pursuing some sorta of sense to this life, to be able to help the hungry, but truth was lacking and it seemed to be lacking in a near future also...will there be a better new culture?...very much enjoyed!- LightH2O
