Poetic Philosophy

FORBIDDEN FLAME

Sensing spiritual fire
in emerging poetry,
(vulnerable) I slip
the shackle of the
mundane, and am
immediately open.

I hear the choir; the
singing engulfs me!

But then, suddenly,
like a cloud of vapor,
the winging words
disappear -- as if
not meant for
mortal acclaim.

Perhaps poetry,
born of the mystic,
sweeps too close to
the blue truth flame.

       -- Delma Luben

Yes, a tantalising glimpse of something that seems to slip away each time we chase it with words....This is excellent! Love, Diana.

Don't you hate how those magical words that were so igniting to your senses slip away when you try to put them on paper?? I sure do...
Love the poem!
