Look through the long window

 

How lightning rips through darkness in bright jagged lines

 

How Life casts its essence upon the dark face of the Void

 

Searing the heart of it

 

Branding memories into a smooth and vacant hide

 

Changing it Forever

 

Where there was Nothing at all before

 

I believe in things that never were

This is very beautiful and evocative. It moves me and focuses me, lifting my consciousness to a higher, purer viewpoint upon the ladder of ascending reality. Such, I think, is the power of beauty. To my way of thinking Infinity is the potential of things that never were (I love the notion of believing in that which never was, but yet might one day be),but also the Source of that which is and has been, as you so aptly expressed, 'memories branded upon life's vacant hide' - our current notion of reality. So it must be that the 'long window' is the 'portal' that connects us with Infinity, the Source of Life that makes us co-creators of experience. I hope I caught the essenes of your insight. Thank you.

Another beautiful write here. In a split second of darkness comes forth lightning. I can hear it crackling so vividly hearing this piece.

I like the complexity of thought here Leann. The crack and flash of a storm filled with lighting and thunder does often change the landscape figuratively and sometimes also literally. You captured that insight well in this one.

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
