Poem Commentary

What a relief it was to realize after I wrote the poem that the conflict was in me and not in the other person :)

Conflict

Needles prick my heart again
with relationship I'm in
Droning on
With fruitless lies
Your soul speaks
As my soul dies.

Feathers in a jacket, then
Warm the cloak that I am in.

Keeping me afloat inside
Till my restless soul abides.

Fleeing only useless thoughts
All the shoulds, and coulds, and nots

Whirling in a sea of flame
Moving forward
Back again

Lions roar
And eagles stalk
Watchful eyes
Are here to stalk.

Rearing up in their desire
Raging secrets, blaze afire.

I'm not sure with you Frog, if its the feathers in the jacket or the fact that there are no ends to the sleeves that keep you warm. I've looked at a number of your poems and arythmical stream of thought of syllogies and impressionistic visuals seems to be the norm. I love them! Winter

Very interesting it seems some cannot find the right relationship with out doubt and concern of something else going on I like the line whirling in a sea of flame.

You are very intuitive. I think you could be right.

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
