Lust, Love, & Lofty Confusion May I know why you know why
The secrets of the world are in both grims and glories?
May I know why you know why
I await for your return, you and your brilliant stories?
May I know why you know why
My composition and complexities better than I?
May I know why you know why
Life has wonders and mysteries in infinite supply?
May I know why you know why
My ticks and tocks by the look of my eyes?
May I know why you know why
I burn inside with the pleasures of your earthly disguise?
May I know why you know why
Your words surrender me in your veracity?
May I know why you know why
I want you in every capacity?
My eighteen year old self,
My eighteen year old self, thirty-nine years ago, would have been green with envy to have read this poem. That you are writing with this degree of verbal control and profound content at this stage in your life suggests that you are going to go far, deep, and enduring. Most of us here are minor at best. You are already a Major.

Perfect harmony..
Wow...this is brilliant...I am totally impressed with this poem for a multitude of reasons...
The harmony and flow make this poem sing ..not just in measure of rhyme and meter...but in speech..
Lines eight and twelve are profound in their meaning, and symbolism...and it really could not possibly be imporved upon, added to, altered, amended..fixed, or changed in any way to be any more perfect than the way you have created this piece.. Truly epic poetry!
Balance In Poetics
Unity of topic, check; you and I vs you and me, check; grim - great word choice! sing song rhymes make this lyrical like a song, check. I'm gonna try one of these when I write again. It's really different and unique with interesting combinations of ideas bouncing of each other - potential abounds. Write on! - Writing is great work ethic - be well, Stella
