Surreal Love - by Invictus

61

By I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s

There is a space between

Time, we are of one

Mind, complete measure

One of voice so

Complete as a blowing

Whisper, sleepless

Ear, your reverent

Heart, loving

Grace of

Space,  your arms

Embracing, flesh encasing

Bone, united

Warmth 

Fused, you and me

Enveloped, whole within our

Soul ,completly tantalized swept

Retreat,  pangs of  heart once

Spoke, away into clear you found

Dear emulsion, of one

Encountered, sun where clouds had

Laced, heart so rung, so far

Past, left only our sacred place, always

Near, devout my gratitude

Bleeds, through my soul of your

Timeless deeds 

Love and measure, soft and bold

All-inclusive my heart you hold in

Spirit and kind loving me

Bind, will not be a testimony of

Thee.


You shined a light in my quiet

Glow, with your heart a magnificent

Flow , adrenaline pulsing within my

Soul , furry delightd by your inspiring

Soul, united we will always

Be, connected reverence

Unconditionally.

It's very unique and creative Invictus! It is like a one line poem divided into smaller lines... very complicated yet simple to understand. Thanks.

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Miss Take ~ Great to see you again. Long time no see! :) I appreciate your kind comments, always. When are you going to publish your new stuff???

Poet ~ Hi, yes I sooo agree. The first song was just not 'it'! :) This one is much more suiting for me, too!

Shamel ~ Thank you for sharing your perspective, greatly appreciated. I am aiming to evolve to different forms. This approach is foreign to me, yet I am feeling is a surreal-foreign place. :)

That poem is so beautiful. I read it three times and I'm going back to read it again. I love your way with words, your imagery that conveys a precise feeling, without a precise meaning for me...You are a gifted poet, one of the best I've ever read.

Nice passion, nicely tucked in rhymes here. Nice tactile imagery. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just go for a shower. Very enjoyable, thank you, Invictus :)

I wanted to ask, though - isn't all love surreal?

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Thank you, Jess! Shower? Hmmm... what a great compliment!

I would agree that all love is surreal, though - I also believe each holds it's own uniquness which is a reflection from the frequency the parties are radiating. Personally, as I have dug deeper into consciousness, I have connected with source that has re-defined surreal. :)

poetlorraine 2 years ago

sounds good so can you share what this re difined surreal is

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

My best way of describing it as this point is through poetry! :)

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Sounds good...I like the idea of remaining synonomous with such a vibe! :)

poetlorraine 2 years ago

Off to work then away to The North back Monday night, sincerely hope there is some good work from you when i get back, I worked really hard yesterday, inspired by your seemingly black mood, i mean what else can i do....... glad you liked the friends one, back monday eve.

hi in work at 2 what is going on anything exciting.... just listening to this vid

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Hi, hope you are having a great day! Had a lovely day with my son. Waliking through the Pembroke coastline around cliffs and the sea! The sea is raging with ripping waves and a beautiful white wash! :)

poetlorraine 2 years ago

that was nice, just got in from work, having my food any time now, how is your son. There was a lovely white wash on the sea here, gently coming in was the tide.... made me wish i could paint...

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Wow, sounds like a great sea vibe with you as well. We are just a bend away though the sea! Son is great, yet he had a moment, cause he was racing with the tides and the waves caught him...he got a wee bit wet! :) I think now he will choose to wear his Wellie's. :))

I hear you, the ocean is very inspiring for painting...

How are you feeling?

poetlorraine 2 years ago

And I was wondering if you've seen the original music video for Sade's song? If not, it says a great deal about what the song was about :D

I do like your video better! I chose this one do to the surreal imagery...haha

My avatar is called a 'parol' (puh-roll) or the Philippine Christmas lantern. It symbolizes the star of Bethlehem :D

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Awww, that is lovely :) and it so suits you, too.

Love & Light (pun intended)

Cris A profile image

Cris A Level 2 Commenter 2 years ago

and I changed it again, I put it outside a window to give you an idea on how it is displayed here :D

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Ah, thanks, that is sweet. :) I checked it out on your profile.. not here yet..

does everyone dispay outside there homes at christmas?

it reminds of a dreamcatcher, so a star of Bethlehem inside would seem quite profound.

are there any lores of the 'parol'?

Cris A profile image

Cris A Level 2 Commenter 2 years ago

most everyone does as the Philippines is mostly Catholic, and churches have really big big ones on their facade with lighted trimmings cascading down upon their main doors. the parol as the star and the trimmings, we call them 'banderitas' (from Spanish bandera or flag and itas, a suffix for mini or smaller versions), as its rays.

Yeah now that you've mentioned it, it kind of looks like a dream catcher.

A lore? Hmmm there's none that I know of :D

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

wow, thank you for sharing.. :) ~ I love learning about various cultures and traditions. The Philippines looks so beautifully festive for the holidays, from photos I've seen. Is is true that you decorate at the end of September?

Cris A profile image

Cris A Level 2 Commenter 2 years ago

Hahaha you've heard wrong! We start decorating at the start of September! But most start decorating right after Halloween. As for my family, we do it first week of December :D

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

Hahahaha oh my! start of September, woah...

yeah, the fist week of December is a good time...we typically decorate the day after Thanksgiving (American holiday). Otherwise known as "Black Friday" aka biggest shopping day in America for Christmas. Which is the last Friday of November. I think is good to wait a bit, otherwise by the time Christmas is here some excitement can fizzle... This was a great chat, thank you! :)

Gotta go get my wee one now...see ya later.

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

feel free.. they don't belong to me.. have at it!! :) I can drop you the link if you like... or you could click on Cris' link above and find this vid..

poetlorraine 2 years ago

oh yeah i watched that vid the other day it is cool, maybe i will, freezing here today.

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

yeah, It is cold here, too.. though I may suck it up and head out to the beach.. It is a beautiful sunny day, none the less.

poetlorraine 2 years ago

oh the beach yeah a walk on the beach would be nice i suppose, how far are you fromthe beach? I am less than 5 minutes, have you been writing much like your poem...???? questions questions questions

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

the ramblings I referred to in my poem were not just from today.. they are from a course of time :) We are maybe a mile from the beach.. if the road wasn't so narrow, I'd walk..

i love the last few lines of this poem and the thought process that brought you to it. Will be reading more

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s profile image

I*n*v*i*c*t*u*s Hub Author 2 years ago

wow, wavegirl! Thanks for that.. coming back to this poem shows me how I've been in the surreal loop for a bit, trying to express.. I had not ever thought seriously about a book. I am delighted that you feel it would be worth having... maybe I have a new goal, we'll see... :) I've always been facinated by unconditional love and feel that it should exist more and boader than that of parent/ child which seems the easiest to acknowledge in our society. :)

Thanks, seasoning! Thinking of what was transpiring when this poem was written it really ironic how it came out... Glad you liked! :)
