A poet, a dreamer, shaper of clouds into worded allegories of meaning
A redeemer, offering bared emotion as a sacrifice of self cleaning
Molding reality into metaphors of immortality, wheat from chaff gleaning
Converting sensuality into duality no fantasy demeaning
A borrower, a sorrower, a shaper of shadows polished truth gleaming
Follower, wallower, swallower of poison and tomorrows bright beaming
Breaker of reality, ugliness to see as beauty distilled from mud steaming
Denier of reality, hospitality in brutality, new morality esteeming

The intention behind the poem appears to be a meditation on the complexities of the creative process, revealing the emotional weight that accompanies artistic expression. It serves as both a personal reflection and a commentary on the broader human experience of searching for meaning amidst chaos.

Powerful.
Thank you so much Thomas for your support and encouragement
I would definitely agree with the "borrower," sense. It's the idea that no story is wholly original, only borrowed parts and memories. As for the rest: well written and an enjoyable read!
Thank you so much NinjaGirl for your read and and understanding. So right there is nothing new under the sun we borrow beg or steal even in what we think is original poetry. I deeply appreciate your read and comment.
Of course!
Allied and almost mirrored experiences or in the least a variant in parallel universes, superbly resonant and relatable.
Thank you Cryptic for you words of understanding and support
Most welcome, Soren.
Beautifully done, my friend. The rhythm drives each line like an incantation, and the imagery keeps it pulsing with depth. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I don't know why I missed this one. Glad I found it... 💜
Thanks so much Teddy no problem I do one every day so it can easily be missed. Appreciate the read
"Molding reality into metaphors" is cool but "hospitality in brutality" takes the damn cake! Nice rhythm and mouthfuls of words!
Thank you so much for your review and most kind words of support. It is most appreciated
We seem complicated to others, but aren't we so simple in expression?
Thank you William I truly appreciate your reviews and comments they are important to me. I have been told that I am complicated and that my language is too complicated so I decided to try poetry where less is more, hopefully that will help.
