'Come Hither'

called desire in a cunning like way

as it swoons to conspire

in a delicate way.

*

Intermediate responses

carelessly bought

reality lingers

while emotions are caught.

*

"Who is talking inside me"

Is it truth?

Is it Lie?

"Who is doing the bargaining"

Is it Me?

Is it I?

*

I precariously smile

not speaking a word

hoping my breath

is not seen and unheard.

*

And I can't remember

when the dream did behave

since lately the world

is something I crave.

***

The inner tides coming

drawing out of the coast

"LET ME BE! LET ME BE"

"UNTANGLE MY GHOST"

*

I stood here struggling

A BLEEDING SIGN POST

but now all untangled

AWAKENS MY GHOST!!!!

*

Then underneath all

the motion of mind

sweeps an innocence

pure and sweetly divine.

*

I hear an echo

in the back of my mind:

"Be the breath that moves in"

"Be the breath that moves out"

'it's so simple, too simple

you mean I don't have to shout?' alt

*

Desire dissapated into the breath

giving a sigh

as it breathed itself into death.

*

But death does not lie there

it raises above

turning something that was

into absolute

Love!

^_^ haha thankyou so much pratibha, I wonder if I should explain that 'ghost' refers to the 'Holy Ghost'?
maybe some people won't know? it's like when we are tangled up in our emotions we can't sense the inner presence you know? ya, somedays it's harder than others. are you enjoying this Labor day weekend? maybe you don't have Labor day in Canada? we have three day weekend here, so I don't know that anything will be open today?
will be a good day ^_^ take care....~katie

I KNEW I was going to find a new poem by you! I just knew it after Lionheart's inspiring challenge. I read it through a second time to let it 'speak to me' and so it did. A lovely poem, Katie... "turning something that was into absolute love" perfectly lovely!! Happy Memorial Day.....Jerry

^_^ Thankyou Isabelle, you are very sweet!

Helloooo Kitty...I mean Katty...I mean Katie...I'm just slightly unfocused after watching your writing jump in leaps and bounds.

Come hither verse: So luring, like words that are spoken when holding someone's hand and you sigh. And so, you've invited us.
Intermiediate response verse: Bought...good word selection, as we tend to sell ourselves when falling in love (perhaps) and you slowly contemplate your future, or what you want...like shopping.
Who is talking verse: Well, mugosh. did I just use my outside voice? Was my heart just singing through my words?
I carelessly smile verse: when life offers us extreme goodness/horrors a select few people will wade in the water and contemplate why? why me? why now? why here?
And I can't remember verse: this is a very soft poem Katie.
The inner tides coming verse: The incredible phenomina of someone who helps you heal or creates a cathartic moment for you.
The underneath it all verse: Woop! You just let the back of your brain wonderland take over.
Desire disapated verse: a mosquito bite seen as a bee sting. OR or or...the final scene of love making.
But death, last verse: Free wheeling good timing choruses of hope. Yep, you just wrote about the Conception of Hope. We all have it.

Now, that is how I reacted when reading this divine literature. Am I on your thought path or do I just have a really charming imagination???
You rocked this poem and I look forward to more please.

LOLOLOLOL! Yes you are mostly correct! haha Wow ok most usually no-one undrstands LOLOLOL! I mean they do in thier own way but I rarely think that full understanding is there LOL! but that's ok it's good that people can take with them something or ANYTHING at all huh?

hahaha ya the come hither is so luring it speaks of the desires I have that take me away from my true callings (oh-well sigh) LOL I am only human (aw shuchs!) LOL!
and yes 'bought' because I by into those thoughts alot and justify thier being there.
I so like how say contemplating your future like shopping ^_^
because indeed it is just like that, only it is WHAT THE HECK DO I WANT? LOLOLOLOL!!!!! and my focus is not centered as much as it should be. so is what leads to 'the misbehaving dreams' who is talking inside me? is it my ego centered self or is it my higher conscious (superconscious)
I had the word 'precariously' smile instead of carelessly (I mean that is the word that came to mean) but I couldn't at the moment remember what exactly it meant so I went with carelessly. I kinda know but not completely you know?
the inner tide to me means the movement of awake consciousness that has been unable to move because of conflicting thought patterns and egoic emotions that have been strangling the voice of spirit. and the healing yes.
so, when the 'ghost' or holy ghost is untangled from the conflicting emotions then it can be heard so to speak. and yes that is the hope and with that then the lower desires can be raised uo into the breath and be transformed so to speak HAHAAHHAHAHA oh my this is long, I think I just lost myself....lets see where did I go.....hmmm ok here i am
yup and the love thingy HA much too long a tale LOL!
a story in it's own right and is my ultimate demon LOL! but I guess I love my demons too ^_^ after all we can't fight them or they'll just get bigger lol!
Thanks so much sweetie :D I love you for all the banter (conversation) ok then, I guess i better get going~
see you later or sooner ^_^

Very beautiful and romantic.

"LET ME BE! LET ME BE"

"UNTANGLE MY GHOST"


Amazing.

^_^ *big smiles* I am happy that you liked this one :D

I agree with all of the comments above - someone said mesmerizing, someone else said soft - I find it gently lilting and beautiful and clever too! "untangle my ghost" - love that! Can I be awfully pedantic and ask if "comming" is meant to be "coming"? (I am awfully finicky with spelling and typos though make plenty of my own) I really love this poem Katie and I'm sorry to be the one to pick out one little word when the content and feel of the poem is so stunning.

HAHAHAHAHAA oh-no that's fine, reminds me of my mom, she finds them instantly! ya that's great! Thankyou Anna, anytime, anytime! I will have to look up the word 'pedantic'
haha what I really need is a dictionary, words come to me that I have a slight clue of but need more indepth recognition of them.

WOW! Very impressive piece of work! I really enjoyed reading this and it has a wonderful flow. I wish you well and God Bless. Lisa

A grand fable with beautiful metaphor.
I just read 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho.
Have you read it?
It's a beautiful, grand fable like this poem.

Author Comment:

Really? No I have not, but I must! I know I was reading something sinse (I always am) lol, don't know off hand what it was, maybe Ekhart Tolle? well most of the books I read, discuss seeing through the illusions of the ego/lower mind
and getting rid of the barricades: (anger, pride, envy etc etc)
I just read your challenge.....You are certainly a challenging one! ^_^ see you soon ^_^

hi! katie. u ended it well with love. as much as death is a reality, LOVE too is (supreme). lol ;-)

Posted: Jun 6, 2008

Author Comment:

hehe, yes ^_^ Thankyou Bubbly! Love, the ultimate reality! ^_^ yes, have a very nice weekend! ~katie

Impressive. I enjoyed your poem.

Desire dissapated into the breath

giving a sigh

as it breathed itself into death


Everything comes back to the breath, is carried away...into Love...Peace.

Author Comment:

Ohhhh, thankyou Phoebe ^_^ Yes, isn't it wonderful?
carried up into the stream of love. nice to have you read and comment. have a nice night ~katie

Lovely is the word!.. the best thing about all ur poems is that they r so simply written without the use of some tough lexicon..n still they set the meaning jst right!. u rock! i mean it!

Posted: Jul 2, 2008

Author Comment:

^_^ really? wow, thankyou so much!
I guess I don't use tough lexicon cause I don't know what it is lololol!!! well thankyou so much though anusha, i am surprised that you can get my poetry right off the bat cause so many have a tough time with it I think. I mean they kinda know but not completely you know? But then again maybe that's what is good because you can take from it in the way that it makes sense to you you know? I love reading poems that can contribute to different meanings you knwo? sometimes you see many people taking many different meanings away from a poem, cool. hahaha, well anyway I thankyou again
anusha, and hope you have a fantastic fourth of July.
~katie

Ok first let me say I don't know why I liked it. was it the flow the simplicity or was it just a line or 2? I don't know I just know I liked it and throughout it
this part stuck in my head:


"Intermediate responses

carelessly bought

reality lingers

while emotions are caught."


I don't exactly understand it or nor pretend to but it sticks in my head. Thanks a lot another thought I need lodge in there...lol
Excellent Katie purely Excellent!!!
Peace Love and Understanding

hahahahahha, thanks Matthew ^_^
ok, that line to me speaks of resposes we have, and how we react to them; do we react with our lower emotions or with unconditional love? there is where you will know which is the small ego and which is the higher. and also to learn how to listen less to the emotional one. or better yet, learn how to go beyond it by understanding it ^_^ so reality lingers while your emotions are caught, because indeed they are caught and such is how we feel until we see through them.

sometimes for me there is this whole learning process that takes days to go through until the answers come. I wrestle so to speak with understanding but mostly it is the time that eventually does it. ^_^ at present, I am going through a milder set of emotions connected to an ongoing learning experience and growth. hahaha it is exciting and frustrating at the same time lol...
peace Matthew, see you soon ~katie

ok I think that is why I liked this piece. Once I think of what you say in your response, it is more clearer to me... I think your respnse is a poem in itself with the way it flows.
Thanks Katie
Peace Love and Understanding
Matt

Author Comment:

gosh, I sure wish we could see the resposes, because I am trying to remember and I kind of do but not completely.
its like we need to have two sites up at the same time lol.
thankyou matthew, I'm glad I could make it easier for you, I know that I don't clearly speak tot eh majority at times, and some of the poetry comes from hard to understand places.
peace and love to you too as well ^_^
~katie
