Flowers in the ground (by the dead poets)

Flowers in the ground (by the dead poets)

The great poets unreadĀ 
Like flowers in the ground
Untouched and silent
There rests amongst us
A death before the graveĀ 
On the tomb of Apollo
His arms holding the edges
And his soul free at lastĀ 

I am a poet
Whose fears realizedĀ 
Stabbed by the sword of DamoclesĀ 
Unto the tyrants' bedĀ 

In the fires of the great city of AtheniaĀ 
Through the market stalls of democracy
Are inscribed the poet's rites

In our thoughts we are perished and in dreams
Ā we are whole again, forevermore

Jai,
You really killed this one,(in a very good way).......your style is like stepping stones in a sea of fire, you carefully but methodically,(without missing one step) and without fear of your complete fire engulfed surrounding, you select your path of directions,(just as you select your choice of words), in your poems, in a manner in which, ever word that precedes the next, tells the reasons and meanings of the birth of your master pieces,all the way, to its final climatic end and you sway (not), from your method of write, no matter what the poem curtails....Your poems truly captures and holds the complete attention of your readers... Reminds me of the style of my friend and brother,Chris Correia. Power in both, of the pens you two yield......

Best of all regards,
Jim

Behind the smile

Beyond the smile is a barrage of self hate and internal ridicules that make life so lonely sometimes...
