Hold me tight


Lungs take in
particles of myst
like pebbles.

The plane of tar,
a river of smoke
winding about
society's bones.

The humid vacuum,
a voicebox.

Mumbling verses into aether,
gnarled knuckles of steam
made visible by the blue sun.

Passing smooth,
toroid of soul.
Breath dancing
over still water.

Bring me your colors
and majesty.
Make me weep
with your poignant flight.

Do not let me go.
Draw me closer—
Suffuse me
with sweet rhythm and light.

The body of the poet, and, crucially here, the body of the world they poeticise. I love the progression from anatomy, to soul, to the human embrace. It's fascinating seeing how your mind works. How you draw a mutual relationship from what, on the face of it, is a very one sided affair (the poet observing and reacting to a world which cannot reciprocate). I guess in classical terms this would be akin to 'invoking the muses', but it feels much fresher and more urgent than that. Excellent write.

Mumbling verses into aether,
gnarled knuckles of steam
made visible by the blue sun.

An other-worldy write today. Love can takes us to a new place never before discovered in conveniently forgotten from the time before. Perhaps it is like a blue sun, showing everything in a brighter and more crisp light. I have often noted that after meditation the world does look different than when I started ... crisper and bright like I said. More defined and yet milder:)

Quite liked this write. Daniel. Read it through a few times just for the pleasure of it:)

His writing is so versatile, that after I read it through, I then read every other stanza which connects with added meaning. Begin with "Lungs take in" followed by "The humid vacuum" etc. See how they flow from one to the other? Very satisfying indeed.

Daniel is indeed one very gifted poet. One of the best I have come across:)

Sometimes I am perplexed when reading your poems @d-pend. It seems to me like this is an analogy of love described as a smoking addiction. It is the story of a love that was lost but a desire to have that love again.

It makes me think about Steem and an unstable crypto market. I also think about my relationship with my wife and my relationship with God. I would like to just enjoy every breath of life and never want to see that "poignant flight."

Imbued with rhythm and light, you navigate through space. Keep it up, friend.

Beautiful poetry of soul reborn. I hug you, @d-pend.

pretty good the way you represented it was totally outstanding

Incredible as you manage to write these poems so easily in my opinion, you use some method to inspire and so write such beauty? Thanks for sharing :)

This just so much depict love. Very nice one... 👍🏼

Going for a walk in beautiful weather today reminds me of your poem!
