Here's to Shakespeare's "Macbeth." I coined the word 'paraphrasetry' to indicate that I took a Shakespearean play, paraphrased it and use poetry as the means of communication.
I see a knife in front of me And the handle is close; let me grab you- You seem a vision and I can't touch you. Aren't you--even as a vision--making sense right Before my eyes? I bet you're just a figment of My imagination….not real-- Some delusion of which I suffer. The vision of you is as real as This knife I'm drawing from my belt holder. You're trying to give me a sign, aren't you, And send me where I'd planned to go anyway? I think you try to mock me and block out any Other perceptions I might have. Your blade is just as sharp as this one I've Pulled from its sheath. But vision, you already know what I have in mind: I'm about to kill someone…are you a vision of a Harbinger to come? I must proceed and act Accordingly. Whatever the future may hold for me, I say "goodbye" and go to rest my head.
the first verse is not personal, you look at it as a mere object, then suddenly it becomes personal (let me grab you) Very different from your other stuff, quite abstract, which you know is my fav. Great stuff George and glad to read you again.
Wow! Talk about a thought provoking write here...enjoyed this much, but I think I will read it again, each time I read it I come away with a different thought! A masterful write!
