Excerpt from “To a Poet” – 3 …and now you ask, “Why write?” and “By what instrument?” I will address why, later…but for now, let us talk instrumentally… Oh my friend, my Poet, given the time and thus, to be given a form of romanticism to wrap around my shoulders I would write with a candle by my side, a dip pen and the blackest of blue inks, the finest of papers or the coarsest of paper bags and the stubbiest of pencils by whatever light available… but in constant fear of not capturing all of my elusive thoughts because and by way of interrupted life… and given the nuance of the day my fingers tap tap tap my thoughts … the strangest thing, though… here before me are beautiful journals that are waiting for some thing from me, some bit of proof that I touched them, read their inner thoughts, and even though inspired by their glossiness of blankness which awaits my inward spire I cannot come to press the nub to leak the soul for perhaps they would only be tired dribblings from a cracked pen and I would not damage their beauty so… Dare I conjure the jinja of the netted works into an electrical dither of non-compose forcing Forcing! Me to pick up my treasured pen To reveal by leak My soul. I fear my hesitate would blotch the paper and there is no delete key only flame.

"Dare I conjure the jinja of the netted works into an electrical dither of non-compose forcing Forcing! Me to pick up my treasured pen To reveal by leak My soul."   Yay!!! Oh my gosh, I just love these wonderful collections of thoughts from you, sweet friend, seriously this has to be published in a book, maybe you can call it "Soddy Journal Revelations" or something! (big hugggsssss) This is absolutely beautiful, sweet friend, you sure do know how to leak your soul out, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

even though inspired by their glossiness of blankness which awaits my inward spire I cannot come to press the nub to leak the soul for perhaps they would only be tired dribblings from a cracked pen and I would not damage their beauty so… ------------------ I loved this part most, though the entire poem is really great... much enjoyed... thanks... regards to you, my friend, sudhir |

Dare I conjure the jinja of the netted works into an electrical dither of non-compose forcing Forcing! Me to pick up my treasured pen To reveal by leak My soul. I fear my hesitate would blotch the paper and there is no delete key only flame. WOW, your muse is on fire. The last few lines were my favourite, in what is my favourite part of the trilogy. Unlike Star Wars I look forward to the next installment (if there is one) if not then this trilogy is akin to the GOdfather movies. (don't ask me what is with the movie references.) Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood |

Rilke himself would indeed be proud. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

Here I am! Told you I had to read on!---and I'm glad I did! ..."In constant fear of not capturing all of my elusive thoughts because and by way of interrupted life"... Exactly! I have little notepads everywhere--next to my Lazyboy (chair!--not my wasband! hehe), in my purse, next to my bed... Keep up the good work Karilea! Now I'm heading for part four! ~ still smiling! ~ Linda |
