12 November: Found Poetry

The Cave

With an aim to oneness,
it was eros,
it was madness.
This longing,
it darkened a person’s mind
to a windowless cave.

  1. With this, Misky, I’m getting feelings of the dark effects of loneliness… the fear of being by oneself rather than the love of being by oneself.
    My mind is veering off all over the place this morning!
    That’s a great image.

    1. See…! I’ve just noticed a second figure in the image. Mind you, I suppose you would have more of a fear of loneliness when with someone else… 🤔

  2. Ι imagine that the selection (and/or luck) of the source book is paramount in Found Poetry.
    To unearth different melodies from scattered notes… most interesting.
