Description Attend to the humble asterisk:
Leave it near your questions.

By all means,

Flip through life's un-halting rhythms
Dance to numbered solitude
Read "vivre!" in the exultation
that redefines your platitudes:
Drop space for your reference
and signify irreverence
In the flourish of your signature on the page

But, Attend to the humble asterisk
Leave it near their questions

I know life is best lived unexplained
And Innocence can't be regained
But one thing which I do maintain…
Is that all life's sentences have researched meaning

So after you have gone the mile
Wholly redefined your style
After you have trod the road
Drunk the wine and spent the gold
After you have read too far
Wished upon a wishing star
After you have dined enough
Tossed the turkey, doffed the cup
After you have spent your days
In half a million different ways
Passed your time in wonderlands
passed your hookah hand to hand
passed by signs with turns on them
passed hitchhikers and toll men
sped through pages of your life
drunk the joy and spit the strife

After, only after,

After you have drunk all that you can of existence
And have come to the part of your book marked "epilogue"

Only after this,
When you are weary and alone,

Attend to the humble asterisk:

Write the addendum to your tome.

I have an extraordinary fondness for asterisks.

They're like little navigational stars for the bookish explorer.

Hey, hey, french has a certain... I dunno "je ne sais quoi" about it

Personal theory time! We are operating on the same frequency of the collective unconscious!

And I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.

Shuffle through the empty spaces
β€˜tween the words that are not there
And visit all the foreign places
Where asterisks stand stark and bare

IS GOOD. and should be included like...

sped through pages of your life
drunk the joy and spit the strife

MISSING STANZA HERE

After, only after,

very very very good, like loved it a lot.

vivre??? your really gonna use french? *sigh* (joke)

also:
I know life is best lived unexplained
And Innocence can't be regained
But one thing which I do maintain…
Is that all life's sentences have researched meaning

that is genius. and mirrors me, in startlingly accurate ways. exact same ideas but different words to express. shit scared me. like that last one where it sort of mirror throne of bayonets. shit.

uber cool. (I sound like a dork)
like I WAS saying, this is brilliant. I like the stanza you didn't include in your piece, although I'm not sure where to put it.

If it was me I would put it just before the line 'So after you have gone the mile' because the poem then becomes more fluid flowing nicely connecting even more so then before your two forms of imagery which is writing and travelling.But thats just me, put it wherever you think is right.

Panmiro In reply to collinsajoshua [2011-04-22 04:20:06 +0000 UTC]

I never thought of putting it there, in amongst the list, it might work perfectly. Thank you I'll definitely take it into consideration, run it by my editors (AKA, little brother and best friend )
