Comments received on poems by Lorenz
The black sun of melancholy
Ellen Marsell said:
A twilight dressed in verse.
A magnetic atmosphere where melancholy turns into matter, cosmology, and the very space of poetic experience.
Profoundly philosophical and beautifully written.

It is amazing how this poem begins with a sense of metaphorical reality that dissolves into the mists of surreal and cryptic images barely intelligible. There is a stream of logic to the illogical a drift from reality (whatever that may be) to free floating associations with no key, locked in the mind of the creator. It is very nicely crafted. A fave

A siren\'s trade in this poem. Very satisfying since I always loved sirens whether in myth or life. Nicely done Lorenz

Ellen Marsell said:
Without light, without salvation yet with the dignity of a madman who stares into the abyss and does not look away.
A gothic poem. Epic in tone. Absolutely love it.

Here the cow jumped over the moon but never said where she landed. The dog star barked to see such a sport and Saturn looks like a dish with a meat ball, hell knows what happened to the spoon. A cosmic poem of epic proportions Lorenz.

A cosmic confession of a mind that has survived disintegration and found in it the source of poetry.

This is such a powerful poem, and I love the Peter Pan allusion. On a side note the contrast between your profile picture and the image used on the poem made me smile--two very different time periods!

Lorenz this sounds like the beginning of a noir novel maybe Sin City. The echoes of machinery in the background of a dark foggy night. Well done

The key word for me was unsane where most would use insane I agree with you a better word is unsane. So much mention of madness and the crazy in this poem the mermaid a siren convincing one that they are the master of tides. Megalomania runs ramped in these waters. A good read my friend.

We come and go though space and love and with the latter there is stronger gravity and sometimes black holes. Nicely said

Absence
Ellen Marsell said:
A poetic experience of existence in a world beyond emotion, infused with a slow, noble acceptance of the inevitable.
An exquisitely melancholic poem of rare depth!

Madame la Mort
Ellen Marsell said:
A magnificent, mature poem.
Despite the cold humor, the text sounds deeply human - with a touch of melancholy, irony, and philosophy.
The ending is magnificent - the metaphor of life as a game of dice.
It seems as if everything is ruled by chance, yet in the end, she always wins.
Not out of malice, not out of desire - simply because that is the nature of existence.

Love that cannot be fulfilled becomes the driving force of creation.
Thus art is born - from the impossibility of being together, from longing transformed into music.

And with double mirror you return to what you were the question becomes what would you see if incased in a spherical mirror. An image rich write that twists the brain around each corner.
