surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
The Words
Often while engrossed in a conversation I find that what I say merely flows forth. I can never trace any specific thought that generated what I said in that moment. I know that I have thought and that more likely than not the topic has fluttered its way through my seldom quite mind, polinating the flowers of my opinions. Yet admist an oratory adventure or while enshrined a verbal spar my thoughts are silent, like the witching hour just before a heavy snowfall. The personifications of my opinions and of my partner's watch mute from the stands. I find myself unhindered and consumed. The spirit of the speech fills the recesses of this anxious mind with a calm, robust confidence. It whispers in the bravest of voices that I will not falter. That I cannot. The faith settles so deep that past concerns are fossilized: mere relics of the past. There in this mass musing extinction, I am left the sole lifeform to fufill the only niche I know: speech whether verbal or written.
