Elevated and provocative.
Exposed.
Carved in stone
and burnt in wood.
You are preserved
in every single element of life.
They name you,
yet not applying labels,
and you’re the benchmark
of their beginning and the end.
The paths they take,
it’s all a reference to you –
their dedication is immense.
Erotic.
Blind.
They take their steps
to match your shadow,
and their spine
is in the perfect line
of your bare shoulders.
They wish for that long-waited cross,
a new-breed of human.
You know they think of you
As someone godly.
Are you?

They are

he could be,
if he made the mistake and thought he was…
The mistake.. well said.
If God is just a human construct, created for comfort, then we are all God because we are the creators of our own reality. If there is a God and we are created in his image then we are all, again, God (or God-like)!
Wow, this one is sublime … Absolutely loved it.
thanks! i saw your muse is back 🙂 some nice writings!
Yes, she come and goes, take the form of the poem only when she wants
All muses are like that.
This is my favorite so far.
aww thank you, dear.
Evocative but not provoking ~ excellent experience !
Im so glad you enjoyed this particular one! I get inspiration from reading so many great blogs around here, yours being one of them.
A quite intense little piece Ms Owl, the questions posed, my fave lines -and their spine is in the perfect line of your bare shoulders. I like this direction as much as your others 🙂 x
Ms Owl was slightly distracted with this one 🙂
I am but a mere mortal, but you, my friend… are a step above and beyond.
Ufff. Way too kind.
wow!!! you blow my mind away with everything you said and the ending with a question mark. 🙂
Beautiful execution.
Hi! Chatty I notice you replied to me on the forum. How are you?
Ha. Glad to know I can still blow…minds 😀
Forum? You lost me there…
The forum my title about ” Why are my comments being marked as spam? Now, do you remember?
P.S check out my newest poem. It will blow your mind away…:) I promise you.
you are who they believe you to be….they! who hold their hearts in their hands and you’re’s in their chests where you are and shall ‘ever be, the standard of their excellence…
You always know the best thing to say, dont you?
not really..:-p
Marvellously posed question…
*blush*
Wonderfull and very pensive and evoking!
So so happy you thought so! I am very inspired with your blog and i think it rubs off 🙂
Humans crave the existence of someone greater than themselves, as hope that they too, or someone at least, can truly be excellent, that it’s possible. When we can’t find that person, we crave it so badly we’ll create him or her, fabricate the divine. Nobody can stand on that pedestal.
Because we crave scapegoats and superheroes.
what an elegant formulation of the eternal question
Im so glad you liked it. By the way, is the font of my blog bigger for you?
yes, it is and I thank you most kindly
In answer to the question posed in the last three lines – NO.
Shows how humble you are.
Really!!
Oooo I love the title!
Love it all!
Powerful words owly
Thanks! The title sort of popped into my mind accidentally.
