poem- mystery July 12, 2014

You are

an uncommon mystery

that baffles the sleuths

You are

a melodious litany

of spiritual truths

You are

a sonorous villainy

raising the roofs

You are

in my periphery

and have been since youth.

Don’t ask.  Sometimes I don’t have a clue what they’re really about, either.  😉

    Exactly ^^^ I love the disclaimer. That’s how I am too.

  4. The cryptic notions here work well. I can relate well. Most people can’t understand what I’m writing, poetry or otherwise. 😉

      Sometimes that’s a good thing, but sometimes the audience getting the message is kind of important. I usually want them to have something they can grab onto, even if it is their own experience.

    Love this! And I agree, the disclaimer is awesome. The honesty of it all–shows me that you remain in touch with your humanity even as you channel your divine creativity.
