Reckoning strikes in a flash,
Electric torrents of searing truth
Vertically poised—jolting—
Every atom burning lightning blue,
Love will no longer surrender to
Amoral anarchy in avaricious hearts.
Truth is transcendent transfiguration,
Inviting all into the fold, thrice
Over, with only this condition:
Neglect your noxious nature—live Love.

Yes, what a beautiful message I can feel that lightning dear Tristan. ⚡ 🌹 I can feel the passion in your words.
Thank you so much, Teddy! I am glad that it delivered and that you could feel it! That brings a smile to my face today, my dear friend. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Glad it delivered, my dear friend. ⚡🙏🌌🔥
[The last decent boyfriend I had too many years, nay, decades ago, had your first name. Curious.] Forsooth, I believe the way the Scriptures put it is something like, "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy." (Prov 29:1) Guess that leaves discussion out of the picture. After that you leave me uncertain, the message at odds seemingly with the same quote. Excellently rendered with superb imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, dearest Missy…I really appreciate you tying this to Proverbs...that’s right in the poem’s current. Glad the imagery and tone resonated with you.
Now, as for your last decent boyfriend from decades ago...at least I share a name with a decent guy! Yay! Whew 😅 Wish you much better luck. Finding decent anyone anymore can be tricky. Anywho, thanks again, my friend. ⚡🙏🌌🔥
My pleasure, you're very welcome!
So true Tristan love is never a surrender but instead an invasion that takes all that it encounters not by force but by conversion. A most lovely write
Amen. 💯 Thank you so much, Soren. I am humbled by your analysis and have such gratitude for you and the support you show, my friend. ⚡🙏🌌🔥
My pleasure my friend
What a poem!
Wow! I am truly humbled, my friend. Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Deeply appreciated, always. ⚡🙏🌌🔥
This is written with passion, you feel it the words. Love is like an invading army, storms in and conquers, but if you want it to last, you have to adapt and change along the way relinquishing some of that initial control, great write, Artist At Work, enjoyed
💯 Amen. Wow. I am so humbled, Tobani. Indeed you see the heart of this and I am very moved by your most encouraging words. Thank you so much for your time, analysis and support, my friend. Hope your day rocked! ⚡🙏🌌🔥
You are very welcome
Is Popeye noxious at all? Best not answer that! lol.
I mean...This is what he eats in reverse 🤮, so...what do you think? 🤔🤣
A stunningly crafted acrostic that feels both timely and timeless. The imagery crackles with intensity—'burning lightning blue' stayed with me—and the message lands with weight and clarity. It’s not just a reckoning, but a call to rise above the chaos through truth and love. A bold, lyrical revelation in every sense. Very well written dearest Tittu 🌹 A fave for sure!!!!
Thank you, dearest Salvia…your words mean a great deal to me, and I’m so glad the imagery and message carried through with that weight. Truly...I am humbled beyond measure. I hope I am doing the name you gave me justice. 😅Thank you again, my friend. ⚡🙏🌌🔥
These are never as easy as you make them seem and this one in particular .. But hey .. Tittu clearly knows a thing or two too don'tcha know .. 😎🐦⬛🐧🐈⬛👍
Thank you, Neville…you always know how to make me smile. 😎 For that you get 🍻🍻🍻🍻 and a 🤗 to spare. I mean...I'm chuffed up over here! 🥲 Glad this one landed for you, my friend. ⚡🙏🌌🔥
The truth tastes bitter, but isn't it better? Lovely write!
Much better, indeed! Thank you, my dear friend, for your time and support. Always appreciated! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Tremendous work.
Thank you, Thomas! Much appreciated, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Hello, Tristan,
Short, sharp, shock and the power of love in a poem to catch the reader head on and demand - 'live love'. Your poetry is so energetic, an old bard like me could lose weight just reading it. Excellent, my fine fellow.
Fond regards,
Tony.
Thank you, Tony! I am humbled by your analysis and so very glad that the poem delivered. I am glad that you are finding it energetic and enjoyable, as the two do not always go hand in hand. Again, I am so humbled by your kind words and grateful for you, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
