Soul search spelunking
Flecks of mauve
catch the low light
roaring, incandescent
careful and earnest
those glittering bits of sapphire
utterly hypnotize
as they survey —almost too deep,
my treacherous depths
A sort of soul search spelunking
uncovering discoveries
Cracking
the
code
Deciphering
the hidden language
my heart once used
to speak,
it's lonely native tongue.

To delve into the recess of one's heart is never easy, often a desert of quicksand.
But when we go diving into those depths we often find nuggets that are those bright spots in our lives that we look back on with love.
Lovely poem dear Blue
Love n peace

We are sensitive as we express ourselves whatever we feel. This is a great piece of soul searching. We determine where do we stand when it comes to creativity. You remind me of the writings of Kahlil Gibran. You are a sweet loving soul, waiting to be adorned and cuddle to console and feel whole.

Dear KS,
Your lovely kind words shine bright of insightfulness. It's within our own hearts that we search for our particular truths, sometimes that's easier said than done. Creativity to express that very search can only be of benefit....

I like the elegant images you so often pair
with your pieces, that really seem to capture your essence.
The capturing of your essence is
also seen, in the weaving of your beautiful words.
I deeply appreciate and enjoy being able
to connect to various aspects of your evolution, from the light to the dark.
Such an interaction of contact
inspires me to inspect the various aspects of my... Self.
I like the idea of the flecks [roaring incandescent]
and yet being [careful and earnest]
Denoting an awareness of the treacherous nature of
the "things of the heart"...
Similar to an intimacy that ventures into the world of pain.
And the idea of [spelunking] as a method of exploring
the dark cavernous realms of the heart, indicating the dangers and fears of the unknown.
And the idea of deciphering,
pointing to the utter complexity of the self, and most especially... well... the heart.
but along with these things,
the levels of rewards having the potential to be proportionally exceeding of the associated risks.
Maybe it's worth it.
:)))
(but then you indicate well... that maybe you once
functioned, based upon these realms, by default...
and maybe even they were not so cavernous,
as to require [spelunking]... Once upon a time.]
Some of my thoughts upon interacting
with this beautiful piece, B.
Very very beautiful. Lovely structure.

Re: Re. Soul search spelunking
You're so so SO freaking incredible, with this comment, my lovely friend 🙏🏻
Much to say.... Yes, I seem to have a deep affinity for surrealism. I live not far from the Salvador Dali Museum which I have been to countless times.. so I think that particular type of art has taking up residence in my psyche. I love artists who can create a scene that is slightly odd and makes you second-guess what you have seen initially, making you look deeper.. but I also like this whimsical beauty that can be incorporated into a surrealistic concept as well.... There's so many different artists out there that incorporate that 'feel' onto their work, I can't tell you how many images I have saved of crazy surrealistic art work!! .. lol.... I save these images hoping to one day to create a poem specifically for each one (because I love ALL of them) and I just never get around to it.. I have hundreds I think... hahaha 😂.... (Silly Blu!!)
So I tend to use or just subconsciously choose surrealism as my visual.... ( short story long, I know!)
My initial thought was that I was being viewed and seen by another who was clever and adept enough to search my deepest depths (spelunking) finding something worthy despite my harboring darkness... To find another who is naturally schooled fluently in speaking 'Susan' I suppose was where my mind wandered....but I had fleeting thoughts that varied and twisted...
I like your head space and the awesome fact that you were inspired to look inward...
Examining the nature of pain and suffering, the potential trepidation of 'full reveal' to another person that may have possibility for shared connection... It IS scary, putting yourself out there, opening up and baring it all... Some people just have the capability to see more (therfore understanding better) than others.... I have found.
Your visits and thoughtfulness are like sunshine on this absolutely freezing cold day.... Damn, how I do bask in it's warmth and comfort.
A thousand thank you's, Pablo.

My delicious lady,
Your beautifully crafted comments echo so profoundly within me. You are brilliant in your summation, indeed. I also believe that it takes a special type of soul that can see more than most and have requisite desire to willingly explore such chasmic depths... and likewise, too.... We should strive to allow possibilities to flourish without harboring fear to fester..... It's easier said than done, but recognition is a healthy beginning...
I love your mindset and deeply cherish you visiting, my dear poetess
Thinking of you and the deep pleasure you bring with every interaction ✨ 💫 ✨
Thank you for that.... I adore it.

Dear BV,
Oh man! Being able to finally crack that code and deciphering the hidden language of the heart...what a gift that must feel like. I don’t normally see color when I read, actually I never see color when I read, but strangely there were pinks in my view while reading. I should call the eye doctor. I think what was so pretty and revealing in this piece was the use of color and gem stones and the idea of thought and language being glittery as part of their big reveal. I also think, that it’s only the courageous who can reveal themselves so truthfully and you have that in spades. Lovely write my dear friend. H 🌷

I feel like I haven't spoken with you in a while!! I hope you are staying warm and doing well...or at least hanging in there!!
I am so very appreciative of your brilliantly kind words. Your mind's eye is an absolute stunner to get glimpses into. I know you'll jest at that notion but I truly feel fortunate to be seen in the way your eyes (and beautiful brain) see me. I can't think of a better or more uplifting sense of self, than seeing myself through your generous pov.
I am so deeply and sincerely thankful that you take the time with me that you do.... - 🙏🏻
I am not courageous, I don't think... only slightly more desperate than the average person (maybe?) in my attempts to be known, as a whole....
Again, thank for seeing what you see.

Those last five lines....
Are a 300 page novel all by themselves. The volume that those lines hold is why the vine is growing beyond her lips; Searching for another "native" who can understand and speak the same language. It's a sense of seeking.
Obviously the entire piece is wonderful and strong, but the ending is a simple brilliance that can only be taken as real.

It's interesting to note that sometimes the poems or thoughts we jot down, in parts, tend to have a more profound meaning once they are spilled. Like reflections in a prism, there are pieces that can reach your audience and relate to their relative experience.
Wonderful work.
