METAPHYSICAL VIEW

It looks like I understand the poem and from another point it looks different. Is it metaphysical view?
End of the day, everyone of us will ripen with hardened arteries and wait for the arrival of the arbitrator, who seems to come and play hide and seek. Satish Verma, I like this poem-  Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

A TREE WAS TALKING

she does not sleep
but turns aware
in silence deep
allowing light
to kiss her skin
to brush her hair
inside her might
she slowly rises
from our din
away from here
and old despises
now set free
into there-  Michael Firewalker

What a vision..."Death was casually running around
on charred bodies."

Interesting unusual adjectives/imagery.

I find this fascinating but am not sure I understand it completely,
but then that's poetry! it stretches the mind and lets it go again.

For me...-  Ann Waddicor

REVOLUTION

This is unique.. I like the imagery invoked and the creative use of words to invoke it.. the way its worded leaves a lot to reader interpretation... and that adds to the piece... because readers will be able to interpret it in many different ways.. good read.. thankks for allowing me to comment..-  Ailill

THE SIEGE

Oh, pass on a cloud
my eyes want to rain.

^ I love this end so much... the whole write in general is great, but I felt like choking on this part:

An apparition
of infiniteness of agony.
Becoming one with failures.

--- I suggest you say:

An apparition of infinite
yet failing agony.- Lebanese Phoenix

A sad and touching poem, Sir. Your expressions, whatever little I understood touched my heart. Allow me to interpret the parts I understand here for our readers. And, please correct me for any incorrect interpretations.

A poem about life's misfortunes that have inspired the poet's thoughts. Aptly titled "Siege" = a state of troubles and nuances that have created a state of blockade (applied to one's life circumstances).
First stanza:

Dual fall of brass (meaning I fell twice from brass = spiritual symbolism for "goodness/grace" From the bine ( = from a climbing/twinning plant), implying from atop a height (or metaphorically speaking from a high/accomplished place;
and from the "Bliss"= state of happiness
An apparition (= ghostly figure) that I have(now) become
of infiniteness (=limitless) of agony. (=suffering, mental anguish)
Becoming one with failures. (=blaming self for all the failures.)

Second stanza:

It tends to stay (=perhaps the guilt of doing it twice)
and enters the forbidden city (the ancient forbidden city of Lhasa, also the former capital of Tibet and abode of the Dalai Lama's, which was barred to all Westerners from entering for centuries, perhaps symbolically stating that the guilt is staying inside oneself and refusing to leave.)
of endless gods.Me beseeching, imploring
to remain poor of any treasure. (despite beseeching=begging/pleading with any number of Gods, I remain poor of their treasure=affection, perhaps because of the guilt)
The mysterious pain
a trap cannot catch. (a pain from the events which have caused the guilt, for which the author is here blaming self, cannot be easily eliminated).

End Stanza: Simple and immensely touching expressions to this reader.

Oh, pass on a cloud (= mind's fog/guilt)
my eyes want to rain. (=weep)

Sir, with due respects, you have an amazing talent in metaphorical language. And, a humility to match your outstanding expressions in penning whatever went wrong in life. You deserve the front page, for this outstanding verse, in my opinion.-  A lonely soul

Choking

Wow, you have some very profound poetry.
Of course this is just my analogy of your poem, I hope you will enlighten me as to its true meaning.

Like a quivering leaf climbing
unreachable thighs of a cloud
in naked shelter of sun.

^The first stanza starts off with the feeling of vulnerability. Perhaps it is meant to bring a feeling of being somewhere that you are forced to be. I don't know why but my first thoughts of this stanza had me visualizing someone climbing the steps to the gallows, with only the scorching sun as the shelter. The sun being the only thing between he and his maker. The title is also relevant in the first stanza, with gallows you are choked and hanged.

I lament the fall
of a colossus
who would not live in a glass house.

^^^ This stanza took me to the innocence of an individual as they are being perceived a trouble maker of some sort. Perhaps wronfully accused of a deed. Grieving the fact that a man of pride would certainly not do such a thing as accused. The insertion of "colossus who would not live in a glass house" makes me think of the old adage "Don't throw rocks if you live in a glass house". Which could lead me to believe that the accuser is just as vulnerable to such accusations and should watch their own step.

Ash smeared on face
a name walks on the book
of barefoot poems.

^^^ This part of the poem led me into a couple of directions, the first being the ash, does it represent the literal burning of someone or is it a representation of Lent, or perhaps neither. I loved the line" a name walks on the book of barefoot poems." this line made me think of that are time (lives) are set to a schedule and it should not be in mans hand the cause for demise. It also reminded me of a more Christian outlook that our names are recorded in a book and when the roll is called will we be among the entrants to Heaven.

Today I am going to morph
into a death sentence
for an uncommitted crime.

^^ This brings me back to the being sentenced to death though being innocent.
Interesting word choice being that you are going to "morph" into a death sentence. It seems so out of place but yet it seems very fitting as the body is present but the soul will die a peaceful death because it is truly innocent.

Who had lost himself
in unslept awakening
of a disaster?

^^^Interesting close for a poem to end with a question. Have we not all felt this way at one time or another, being falsely accused of something. To be innocent and accused is definitely a disaster, and that alone brings the title into play.

I hope my analogy of your poem does not offend and was not too far off your target of intent. I have greatly enjoyed reading it and look forward to reading more of your work. - Dixiedaisy

Brilliant ending-  Maple Tree 

Ungoing

Powerful piece, the depth of this message just leaves me speechless.. love your word display.... well done~- Maple Tree

Well written. I feel as though its slightly held back from what it could be... Could it be the flow of the poem? No.. Maybe its just how its described..
I feel almost as if there is a veil over my emotions suppressing them. You havnt quite unlocked them in this piece, but your close.
For me, the whole piece does become unlocked around the last stanza which makes me feel it all at once. Which is a good thing but before then It was a bit difficult for me.
You can deffinetly understand what your trying to get across (as Maple Tree said). Its truly inspiring and different from other types of poems.
Still i feel as though you have not captured me yet.
Very well written. Thank yo ufor sharing-  JustNei

THE GLASS HOUSE

I don't quite understand all this, but I have done something with your poem
which you must be pressed to ignore, if it worries you at all.


Not yet, courage waits as
the curtain falls,
to disappear in awakening.

crucial, love of absence,
the scythe
of the eclipsed moon.

Suspense, the tall image,
slow turn of thighs,
lips reach the galaxies.

the first cry of a new born
pleads guilty,
whispers never the same.

my fault, the animals feet,
carrying the burden of straw,
words brought grief.

In triangular fight......................could you not say flight here?
my son, my god, my father:
I stand in the centre.

I just felt it was...well it was, so that's my idea.
I felt it was worth trying anyway.
They could each become a haiku in their own right too perhaps.
Love to you from - Ann Waddicor
