Notice of absence from arqios
an absence of Presence conjures Absence…
an absence of Presence conjures Absence…
a poem is the funeral pyre
of pulsations, once exhumed
but now still present;
fueled by the flame of our
rue-filled memories
a poet is the gathering together
of thought and hope
that intermingle with the
burnished trim of
a late afternoon sky
and poetry is a dream
garbed in bilious words
whose raiment is laced
by meandering verse and
be-jeweled by barely parted lips:
It takes but a whisper
to free the wandering soul.

Perhaps a type of poet and a variety of poetry; cannot claim this is universal but resonant in many quarters.
The title may also be adjusted to ‘poemspeak’ or ‘a poem speaks’, but let’s see what the readers think. 🕊👍🏻
A poetic masterpiece!

Must hark back to the day I was immersed in philosophy classic and modern. Interesting, thanks for making a note of that; most appreciated 🙏🏻🕊
“Poesy” could also be part of an apt title. Thanks to David Wakeling for using that term in his much appreciated comment 🙏🏻🕊️

Your poem is rich in metaphor, evoking the interplay between poetry, memory, & transcendence. The language is both elegant & haunting, lending itself to deep reflection.
Absolutely loved the opening line "a poem is the funeral pyre of pulsations" - stunning!!!
Your poem is perfectly refined & deeply expressive.
I could go on but, actually, this is best left as it is...I just want to read it again & not evaluate anymore.
regards

Your kind words are much valued Ma5on and your penchant for reading another time is inspiring, thank you 🙏🏻🕊
