Encrypted Love Poem

in #art7 years ago

They say people who are quiet want to be heard. I can't say that that describes me, although, yes, I am a quiet person, and yes, I am begging to be heard, but no, I don't think these are related. I can be loud, and often are, when I need to; I am an over-degreed singer, lest you know. But, more so I am a thinker. A thinking ape, if you will. But insofar as the quiet person's metaphor goes; I constructed a poem for my wife using simple symbol substitution. I did this so that an investment in time must be made before truly understanding the words I said. Until that time, the art is in the viewing, and love is in its' understanding. The prose I use is antiquated as this is a voice I often hear when creating. Take care with the paradoxical syntax, this IS poetry. Do enjoy!

This is really awesome, and really special that it is rooted in love for your wife. I studied mostly creative writing and anthropology in college... we are all most certainly just apes with way too many tools.

I often think of my poems as visual pieces first, and language second. My goal is to breakdown what readers expect to read before they start reading. I've posted one poem so far. Let me know what you think!

Thank You so much for stopping by and checking out my piece.
