The present, particular [Day 6]
The present, particular
original poetry & images
In times like these
Bolted by the refrain
Of silence to a present
As inscrutable as memory
In cities like ours
Where the fish swim not
& the buildings breathe not
And the streets do not sing
But they repeat the mantras
Bolted to a bulletin board
And they sail through
The greasy torrents
With expressions blank
Behind which
Silence breathes
& quiet stirs the soul
Of the looming city
In times like these.

I used to think of myself as the queen of deep stuff. This totally takes the cake. I've read it 9 times and all I can figure is that this is really deep. I also detect an undercurrent of sadness in the 2nd stanza and a bit of real life in stanza 4. But I still want to know what it means or what it's about. Do tell please....
Times like this when we all speak
languages that only ourselves
understands.
Shunning the loud cry
of the less privileged.
A time like this
where we wear selfishness
like a party attire,
swaying left and right
without being bothered
A lot has happened... We've lost the love of the past.... People are so detached and self-centered this days...
Waiting for your new wonderful and distinctive

@ d-pend ... For you, an amazing person
For you who feel that you are under a storm that does not stop. For you who do not know how much more you can resist. For you, you are losing faith and blaming everything that does not go well. Listen well: You are amazing! You make this world a little more beautiful. You have potential, strength and you still have many things to do. The best things come to your life, I like everything you do with steemit keep it up, friend

Yes, silence is the doorway to so many amazing things in our mind.
Thank you @d-pend for this.
I love this poem and I like your part of speech. Brilliant @d-pend particularly peculiar in the present participle=> ("the looming city")
It is short but striking. It begins stark and noble like an inaugural address and ends with rest and silences so lovely.
I'm gonna get a pen now and write down number 6 with than pen on paper then make a post. Rest well.
Wow! I like this poem, this is totally amazing. Each words has a deep meaning and the sorrounded was clear and silence. God bless you and more power.☺
