I Am

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

I often wonder why there was magical creatve energy born in re-watching the trailer of “Prometheus,” a quest to determine the origin of manhind, I was reminded of my orginal screening of the film. Today, I tried to picture the mind of Ridley Scott and found myself caught up in many “what ifs” of his creative processes, and perhaps our own. Hopefully, this poem speaks some truth for all of us.

Poem Artwork
I Am

I am a man inside-out.

My imaginings light up ideas in the dark,
churn the cauldron of angels,
lift you and your doubts,
give you to where you long to be,
and maybe,
if I feel the tremor,
carry you back,
where feeling warm again is challenged,
heart racing like a feather's flutter in a hurricane,
turning your hour glass once again.

I am a man inside-out,
vibrating with the collaborative,
my inner-floodlights arc,
visceral memories resonate through my tissue
recalling the tweak of mind spasms
clenching tight the pages of script,
when first a voice utters the word,
when first an image comes alive,
seducing me into a theatre's black tornado night.

I am a man inside-out,
knowable from afar
by the never-sleep-look of my eyes,
the Murine forever poised between my fingers,
calming the synaptic lightning
forever thundering across my lens.

I am a man inside-out
re-born in swirling mind's weather,
the storm's eye seeking calm,
clearing overhead clouds
where some know my blasphemous ignoring of gods
whose sacrosanct eggshells no one is to tread upon,
where suits now tremble at the laser of my eyes,
crossing me at their peril,
knowing I can swallow their light,
forever smothering the anger lashing them into their spin,
cocooning their palm trees by my own spin of another kind.

I am a man inside-out
when Urania sets flight to my head
hurtling me into the vacuous silence,
whiteness of black forever filling my palette with color,
laced with the dissonance of my existence.

I am

Quite distant from Neil Diamond's version… But you certainly do "let it all hang out," with your poetic prose delivered here. This is just another example of how inside out works.

I have watched the entire movie recently on demand, free, and the premise that doesn't become obvious until the end, is quite good.

This is a very revealing jaunt through a very creative mind.
Now I need to find Prometheus perhaps somewhere in Netflix to help me fill in a few gaps. Love the repetition and the rhythm of this poetic journey.

A poem of identity that takes us through all the permutations of who we may possibly be. An intriguing trip indeed. John
