The mockingbird, born singer.
The Nightingale can make fun.
Appearances are deceiving.
When you sing a lullaby.
The hummingbird I reassure you.
Goes at a very fast pace.
Not to fall, no doubt.
But hopes at all costs.
The Snowy Owl is very happy.
From a flash of lightning springs her destiny.
May she be pretty and proud.
From its plumage born the truth.
the phoenix rising from its ashes.
there would be such hypocrisy.
Can we, one day, understand.
That maybe he doesn't want to anymore.
Like a pure and virtuous dove.
Don't be fooled by appearances.
A flight can be deceptive.
It depends on a circumstance.
The bird can never fly away.
If he remains a prisoner of his words.
Can he one day be able to taste it.
The flight of its evils, will be released.

When Contradicting Images Reveal More Than Logic
I have a history of analyzing the utterly brilliant and soul-touching poetry of Mesh Toraskar. It seems I’m unable to read his poetry and move on with my life, as each line, each half-line, each word is so rich with imagery, references, concepts, et cetera, that it requires taking slow, quiet time to fully appreciate it all. He took quite a long break at the beginning of the year before returning in April with the stunner, “fresh terror to love.” He has published two more pieces since then, one poem and one Feast narrative, both of which I highly recommend. You’ll quickly deduce that I will recommend everything this man has written. Anyway, I promised to come back when words were no longer failing me and I did not. A lot has happened to me and it simply has not stopped, yet this is no excuse for being mute to the following beauty.
