Do you pity or envy a world
That has cut off its calluses
Do you love or fear a world
So gentle against the wind
That a ***** would bleed
That a pinch would twinge
I pity and fear it,
Thus:
Here I am, hiding
In a boat of poetry
In the strait of obscurity
Between two oceans of fear
Between
The old world of joyous suffering
And
The new world of unbearable peace
Trying to marry the water of lively green
And the deadly blue
As I tie the old waves to the new
I set aflight an echo through the wind-
In the shape of a dove, a clarion call:
"Don't renounce your past
But accept it with pride,
Lest you be judged for what you have done,
And never
What you could, would, and will do!"
Sentient Dreams: My Poetry Anthology：
This is the manuscript to my amazon vanity press poetry anthology: "Sentient Dreams" that I have now decided to just share it here digitally. All of the poems have been published here on HP at certain points of time anyway.
Almost all of the poems are from October 2017-July 2019.
Please feel free to share! :)
I don't think I will be adding to this specific anthology in the future. (Except three more poems that will be updated later.)
