~ STRANGE DAYS ~
During moments of silent reflection
A raven, soaks up the light, deep inside
Like a black baker's bona fide confection
Warming up, to where temperatures thrive...
The resulting heat, a blistering reminder
Of novels and strange days gone by
Squared off doorways and cloaked crevices
In which the iceman hides, amid charcoal eyes...
The black is blocked, by benign towels
And the river's sweat, rolls upside downways
Through doorways, bleeding Beelzebub's bowels
So Sophocles could write, of these strange days...
Strange days, sewn into deep purple obligations
Siphoned through rinds, that materialize
As oozing obstacles rising through complications
So, when will the black angels realize?...
That Strange Days
Are the fog in our eyes...
That Strange Days
Are sonically perfect...
That Strange Days
Are the ultimate doorway...
That Strange Days
Are Deja Vu....realized...

You have to reflect on the journey getting somewhere, in time and space. And, understand what caused certain events to pass. Generally, the full picture is not available until all credible offerings of explanations are given. Historians, then argue the importance of events in changing perspectives and policy. Hopefully, unsettling times are quickly evaluated and eminent authorities then assess prevailing conditions and causes. To manage a settled calm, after the notoriety of what has come to pass. All preferring the settled, to make more of life. Who does not want this ?
You have to work out the route to the recognizable safety of an environment best for all. Nobody wants strange unusual happenings to exist, to hamper progress, and threaten stability. We must find the most profitable paths forward to stimulate all growth and success,, after any occurrence whatsoever. Right ?
Thanx Sir WATERS!!....for the amazingly well considered comment......I appreciate your impressions VERY much....and while I agree with much of what you are conveying here I believe that there is so much more involved that even trying to come to terms with this subject matter is beyond our capabilities at this point in time......the universe and its inhabitants are beginning to speak to humanity in general......and I believe we don't even have the language to speak intelligently about it yet!!......That's one of the reasons I love poetry.....I can paint the incomprehensible in small vignettes!!.......Thank you again dear poet brother!!......Lots of Love to you and yours!!.......Peace.......T xo : )

I think your six is covered for now brother!!.......smiles......thanx so ,much for this my friend.......hugs n smiles........T xo : )
Interesting concept Tony. I like the thought experiment feel of this one, clever. Black angels eh? Representing those who are innocent, yet different, not pure, don't understand. Fog in our eyes. I really like that line. Reminds me of Doctor who episode about sleep in our eyes, a conspiracy, science fiction, yet hidden meaning for spirituality at the same time.
Heaps of concepts in this!
Love your work and the thoughts it provokes!
Kudos,
Your friend FISH
Thank you FISH!!......I think you'll be interested to know that I actually have two Doctor Who T-shirts that I wear quite often.....I'm a fan and obviously my work shows that I have a similar belief system as his......I appreciate all your support my friend!!........Peace n Stuff!!......T xo : )
Excellent write Tony...you have a great talent with words ❤️
So do you MARION!!....thank you.....T xo : )
This is awesome Tony! As I read it, I couldn't help but think of the state the world is in. The coronavirus has put us all in a dark place called fear. To me this write describes the underworld that seeks to rule over the beauty and freedom of the world the we walked freely in. You worded it perfectly and the finish is resounding. Awesome is the word. Well done, my friend! 5 stars, pinned and liked!
Thank you MICHAEL!!........It's what I Love most about poetry......The truth is in the eye of the reader!!.....Lots of Love brother......talk soon....heading to your page in a few......peace.......T xo : )
It's strange that deja Vue you should mention, it's strange that my days are in fact, strange, I'm catching up with subconscious time travel, waking up to something I can't quite understand.
I do feel afraid of our next endeavour, another pending plague, or something much worse.
Hey Sir GERARD!!....Always love to see you on the pages.......I don't know if I can see it the same exactly......I DO think there is a great announcement to come.......but I don't think it will be another plague or something along that line....I DO think it may be along the lines of ALIEN communication however......we definitely need something to wake us up to the fact that we are killing our planet with decisions filled with stupidity......HELLO!!...wake up!!.....smiles.......there is much I have to say about the ramifications of Deja VU however........talk soon.......Lots of Love.......T xo : )
