BATHING IN ETERNITY (An Original Poetry ➕ Analysis & Literary Appreciations)

---

Home is etched away,
into a place where the mind,
will never astray,
sleeping in the beauty of ignorance,
abundance of knowledge is but very little,
a cosmos beyond banality,
but the heart is a traveller,
where the body can only reach,
but the soul is hungry to soar.

---

I saw the sunset, the sun gods,
drinking pints of everlasting life,
it's like the colours of sizzling fountains,
the dew of Euphrates,
distilled and served, never to again thirst
sweeter is eternity,
than life's burst of carnality
the piercing sharpness of the clouds,
is a beauty unpaintable by the mind,
the soul is urging to wander,
across oceans, beneath mountains

---

life is a candlesticks, eating away,
a step to the grave with a smiling face,
buckle your shoes, the galaxy is a race,
where men thread on air,
the whistles of the reaper calls,
will you embrace or certainly stall?
the fragrance of the firmament beckons,
like the aroma of aromatic frankincense,
the nostrils will shudder,
the bladder will reek,
yet the spirit is eager to be free

---

We're broomsticks strapped by a rubber,
unfree of the flesh's mortality,
the trumpets above is symphonic,
the elements calls to be at liberty,
like a unicorn galloping the bayou,
the body begs to perish,
like the diminishing sounds of the dying bells,
embers of feathers floating into oblivion
the soul aches to bath in eternity.

POETIC NOTES, ANALYSIS & LITERARY APPRECIATIONS

---

Bathing in eternity discusses the essence of a life far away from mortality. The mind somehow will be unable to describe the feeling of immortality because first it's built on mortality, the ability to center on the society and it's limitation will be something unreachable unless the mind itself is dead however when the mind becomes dead, it then can be limitless but however the ability to share will now be definitely impossible.

The poem speaks on the other side, the aftermath of life, it's actually an eulogy to the spirituality of immortality in other words it sees the beauty of which people are too freightened to experience. In a clearer picture the poem speaks about the journey after death, the experience of a soul after it's parted ways with the body and spirit. It's ability to do unthinkable things, it's unlimited ability to shuttle the galaxies.
The poem speaks of beauty unimaginable and it stress the fact that this beauty will only be experienced if the carnality of life breath and lungs is taken away.
