ABSOLUTE

I'm starting to part ripping
At the seams, devoured by
The silent wide open mouth
Screams what has gone before
Has been my unenviable lure

Have sworn legions to others lies
Without knowledge of broken ties

One single entity magnificent serenity
A single persona that lost it's fate in
Humanity all the joy killers and the vanity
Lucid reasoning off popular insanity

Peace before and after war love and hate
Is what I saw, I that gnaw at the bone the
Foot off those who sit on throne, just to see
If they realise me I that burnt as a seed never
To take root in the absolute.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "ABSOLUTE" explores themes of inner turmoil, betrayal, and the struggle for identity. The imagery of being devoured by silence and torn at the seams conveys a sense of inner conflict and vulnerability. The reference to swearing allegiance to lies and broken ties suggests a theme of deception and disillusionment.

The poem transitions into a reflection on a lost sense of self and a disconnect from humanity. The contrast between peace and war, love and hate, highlights the complexity of human emotions and experiences. The imagery of gnawing at the bone and being burnt as a seed adds a layer of metaphorical depth to the poem.

Overall, the poem effectively conveys a sense of inner struggle and existential questioning. The use of vivid imagery and introspective language enhances the emotional impact of the piece. Consider further exploring the themes introduced in the poem to deepen the reader's engagement with the subject matter.

Absolute

Hello, ziggy,
The enjambment, the language, the pace, the title... this is a gem!

A couple typos (I believe):
"sworn legions too / to..."
"...a single persona that lost it's / its..."

Also, "I that" should be correctly stated as, "I who..." ("that" is for things, and "who" is for whomans, er, humans.) :)

Really enjoyed this, more and more after several reads.
Thank you!
