resonance of reverberations: Fecundity of the mind

Fecundity of the mind

This is a tribute to the mind. Where beauty mixes with gruesome horror. Where regardless of the efforts of man, beauty doesn't always seem to prevail... especially nowadays. And people seem to use their ding-dongs less and less; common sense is no more common.

evidence of the mind
found among anger's deformations
which little chokes, whence attempting to find
sanctified beauty within imaginations

to estimate malice
the short distance travel of thought
the foresight of grandeur
merely a breeze blown in a draught

fecundity of the mind
engage in greatness
waste not wisdom to conform
the power of amplitude, wastes not the will of percipience

daydreams fill the day with dreams...
this is Ben signing out and setting my brain to hibernate and defragment (sleep)

You're a rebel aren't you, but not a fallen soldier. :)

Anonymous said...: What i see in your poetry is a deep, cryptic, profound meaning that i can mildly grasp but greatly intrigues me. can you give us some footnotes to your poetry? it'll help us understand better. I love your stuff.; 31 July 2007 at 7:23 am
Ben Samin said...: Suzan! - : ) thanks for dropping by, and somehow, whenever someone calls me a rebel, i take is as a very regal compliment.. i'll be dropping by your blog more often, because by all means, it is cool.

Anonymous - you are getting irritatingly productive to me. I have no idea how you do it, but shall follow what you say.; 1 August 2007 at 7:11 am

The Poet

I discussed with a colleague of mine today, that since i joined the financial institution, i've lost alot of that which used to define me. The philosopher is gone. The poet, all gone. The painter, the musician, the singer, the contemplater, they're all gone. I figured that it was a form of premature mid-life crisis (which traditionally begins at 40), so before i start piercing my ears, coloring my hair, listening to indie music and trade the family car for a 4WD, i shall embark on taking pre-emptive measures to ensure that such an incident does not ensue. This blog is dedicated to poetry, and with an underlying objective: to keep sanity in check. I aint no gawky teenager and neither am i a geeky adult. I'm just weird and let's keep it so.
