After the Journal
After
-the-
Journal
I.
always blank everything.
journal of wistful discrepancy
that paralyzes the procession of seasons
rewinding, ever rescinding
Record of dreamers.
I vanish;
After words
I appear
Unrolling something
monstrous,
inhuman.
mouth of stagnant rhetoric
dead philosophy came alive
mirrors went opaque
dreams mundane
errands extreme
transpolarity
(the Sayings said my name)
Into a corner
(the Stitchmouth)
After all disdain.
II.
mortal loom in
decrepit blankness,
unused canvas
filled with
hidden
Scraps of eccentricity
Confined to perish
All the above
After
the
Journal.
After my expression
Before walls of glass around her rose,
After my extension.
Belly that became sanctified
Before my advent,
Impression of Ash
Imprint of
ivory.
III.
How many times
must I fill
your nothing
with
my nothing?
(I put my nothing aside into its pantry.)
Ev'ry foible was its
sil'vry bauble—
(I set my mouth into its spine of shards.)
I dissembled.
When it slunk away,
I held forth with
Substance, beliefs that make
men cower &
petrify the dead.
When the age flashed its eyes
I looked into its nothing.
IV.
Saw contentment, its fruit of
before the time of my hand's cruel master.
its faceless face—
gobbled up,
by its
machine teeth.
(gluttonous aeon howling
through the halls
of an empty galaxy)
After my expression
(intricate tale singing
through the rifts
of a silent planet)
When everything vanishes
Into its own shadow, who
Will write the record
of the nothing
& the all:
the journal?

"How many times must I fill your nothing with my nothing?" Bows to the master of words
blushes Hi @m31!! Thanks for reading; I hope you're doing well :))
I have nothing to say. This is crazy poetry, words that radiate energy. The philosophy of the essence, everything and nothing. Really after your blog, I'm breathless.
I am honored @dobartim... and as to the subject matter, you possess a discerning mind's eye..!
It is a great honor and a pleasure for these encouraging words @d-pend.
You inspired me to try to write poetry. I just wrote one poetry, but my English is bad, one day I'll be much better.
The journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step
Nice work my friend..! You have an unique expression.
Hopefully you can enjoy the process, which can
Be quite cathartic, vulcanism of
Myriad seas unboiling from
A cosmic cauldron
It's all a process, so I give up energy. Energy is everything. You really give me great support, thank you for everything my friend.
It's mutual, much gratitude!
Love the words bro, epic metaphors and deep journeys. Thanks for the elegant layout too. I use the esteem app mostly but ill try and make artistic transitions like you have done here along with relevant dark imagery, well done sir @d-pend thanks for the inspiration
Awesome man, really appreciate the feedback and encouragement. I just like to try out odd things and see how it turns out :D Cheers!
Fantastic stuff here. I can never forget your nice irregular pattern of posting
Thanks a lot @josediccus, I liked your recent piece "Tragic-comedy!"
Thank you for the support on that poem. Im quite a writer who writes deep insight to the human anatomy.im glad you did, thank you
You're welcome, and keep on writing..!
Sure buddy, sure. I have followed you
second that and im really digging the images... hmmmm considers swiping for ddg
Swipe away! All I did was take a stock image, crop it to the Steemit aspect ratio (1:1.6666), up the contrast, rotate/ mirror/ blend it. So you don't even have to credit me if you do lol. image from pixabay, here's the original: https://pixabay.com/en/drip-wet-drop-of-water-rain-water-2806027/

Thank you @jerrytsuseer! I think it's fun to play around with odd formats :D
Yepper, I agree, although I don't experiment much these days.
Sometimes you get some surprising results. In a good way.
beautifully written @d-pend
