~I saw me asleep

You have such a vivid and also subtle imagination, Kushy. The one for Dawn has many subtle images sliding in and out, and the one for Ann, is so wonderfully creative and rational at the same time.

I am trying to blend theories with reality. I am very very glad that Kathy has liked them.

Both were awesome writes

Featured in the Triple Name Club.

I am not one for interpreting much of anything but I try for your poems because I love them. I cannot explain in detail why but they touch my soul.

It is the ultimate prize a poet can get. It is what I seek. Thank you Gul.

A Nobel and $1M would be a pretty cool prize too, wouldn't it?

Great thoughts to ponder, Kushal. The last few lines of the second poem were amazing.

Thanks Just me

thier bothe great

smooth thoughts today~deep but soft~

Thanks for posting to GutterGirls~

What can I say save that your talent is truly amazing? Excellent, both of them! :-)

Blessings and best wishes - S.

Thank you Svetlana

Slumber is so mysterious. Well done, Kushal.

They're both mystical and fantastic. They made me think of the way I cured my own insomnia. I went camping and now can't sleep enough. LOL Thanks, Ku!

rofl, i just have to say it sis butterfly:

it wasn't the 'camping' that wore you out.

Come on...leave her... sunk in her blushes

Very Good.

Asleep? Unconscious?

At the very moment I was etching your existence? There are bonds in the universe!
rendering of a prince

:+)

The alter ego!

Beautiful interplay of words flowing through thoughts of night. "To sleep, perchance to dreqm."

Thank you David.

"drop of sea was flowing my left cheek" ha!ha!ha! reminds meof something. lol Thanks. So beautifully written

Thanks Timi

god bless you timi =) you're so sweet.

meowwoo!! =D

that sea tasted good too! =D sweet deliverance of the soul always tastes good! meowwoo

I know you have a taste;)

=D meow I do!

I've always wondered that. Like the movie Matrix. When we are awake, are we really asleep? When we are asleep, are we awake? Deep and thought provoking.

Yes, this is the essence, Dawn...the "reality" of our "nonreality" we live here in an illusion, created like a stage...and we are the actors. kushal is revealing a truism on a subconscience level...as muses try to communicate to our somewhat "dense " understandings on a conscience level. Your prince has delivered a jewel!

Indeed!! =) A jewel that is rare.

Like, being alive is only a dream and our dreams ends how we make it end. Like, follow your dreams. So if we die while awake, when we are dead...we are alive? Complex and deep, I love it!!

In Matrix(don't know if you have seen it), Neo is drawn into this world that he never knew. He's given a choice and he chooses the truth. In the movie, humans are all in pods asleep. "Life and being awake" is a dream like state that the Matrix invented to "fool" us. Given the choice, Neo wakes up in the pod and is "reborn." He finds out that the world as we know it and being "alive" is only a dream and we are actually not alive in that dreamlike state. Fantastic Ku!!

I have seen the first one.

You should see all 3, the movies are eye openers and rock =D

In this poem of mine waking up is a state when we can weigh our world properly. We do not.

like, we are awake now...is it really a dream and when we die we are awake? got me thinking hard now ;)

We do not indeed

yolky creme is smelling good today ;)

Seriously, get you a pair of Neo's sunglasses =D

Absolutely!!! this is where your Kelidescope soul meets the sun and displays the complexity of your intuitions toward the human condition. You weave a beautiful cloth...worthy of a museum.

Human condition...yes I know papa shall get the point.

I saw me asleep

Worthy indeed. Mr. Poddar and his intuitive collection.

It's a distinctive collection I am buying.

Your pen has been dipped into golden sunlight, my son... to me, you have touched upon the point where science and religion strive to meet. I am proud and impressed!

I agree papa Lynn, so agree!!

Pantry waits for us.

Though our Ann is away, I know this will touch her portion of the collective and we see Dawn's thoughts generating as well.
Both poems are thought provoking on this morning of mutual appreciation at The Surreal Circus

Someone once told me that none of this matters...I think we just proved him wrong.

We are the authors of our lives...we have signed a long forgotten contract with our publisher and we enter this stage to play our parts...exit then re enter...that's the way I see it , my child that is advanced beyond her years.

thank you papa!! I am only 33 but feel as wise as over 50. You're right. I don't plan to break that contract either.

This just proves that I am not broken or damaged as some may say.

Oh, yes...some options are: "For Whom The Bells Toll", " Dr. Zivalgo" 'Funny Girl" "The Great Escape" The Agony and the Extasy" "What dreams May Come" These are the choices just for today...get KP Kobi and let's get soom popcorn!

"broken" is only a subjective word and like "sanity" cannot be defined without false benchmarks egotistically devised by 'academia" Many artistic geniuses can be classified as Schizophrenic but they gave us so much!

Well, I am in a giving mood and I shall share until my heart wears and tears. I shall bleed for those in need and plant a seed the world can grow from ;)

"What dreams may come" and popcorn sounds delightful...to be without you two in my life would be frightful! =)

I love you papa Lynn.
'Cause of you,
princess wears a grin
and not a frown.
Now my crown
glows
and my heart shows
as I grow
to be the woman
I've longed to be.
Now you "see"
me.
That's why I love you.

I love you too Prince.
Prince of India...not Arabia =)
Amphitrite Simplicity Shines is overcome
with happiness.

You pretty much put your finger on the mystery - I think ...

(it IS mysterious !!!!)

indeed. woot woot!! =D

I gave the mystery my finger ;) The mystery has been brought out into the light. No more hiding in the dark.

Poetic justice I call it ;)

"I Saw Me Asleep": Here it seems you had a lucid dream, or traveled in the "astral" or "second physical" realm during a sleep state, and retained awareness of what you saw and did there. I admire this poem because you expressed a deep nudge of realization after seeing and feeling the snakes/serpents: "have you ever been awake? Ever in this life?" We can all feel that nudge and remember our own similar experiences, whether in this reality or that one, that inspire us to re-think our picture of reality and what it is we are here to do.

"Theorem on collective unconscious": These are very worthy wonderings and I love how you connected them to an earthly scene/experience.

You might find this excerpt from "Talking with Leaders of the Past", interesting. It was compiled by Peter Watson Jenkins and channeled by Toni Ann Winninger, published by Celestial Voices, 2008.

Interviewer: You said, "The collective unconscious doesn't owe its existence to individual experience, and is not a person acquisition. The collective unconscious has never been in consciousness but comes to us through heredity." How much do you hold to your ideas of the collective unconscious now? Is this a collective unconscious of the race or is it a database held at Home?

Jung: It is the energy of all of us have created. It is the wisdom from all of the knowledge gained by all of the various facets of the energy of creation. It comes from experiences wherever and to whomever they occurred. It is accessible to each soul if they have the maturity to know how. at least while they are in their human form. At home all have the ability to "tap in."

Thank you Alison, the second poem was inspired by Jung's theory.

thanks for sharing

first funny then thoughtful then nice

Thanks

These are very good; I especially like the first one, but that doesn't mean the second one isn't equally good.

For one so young, you are remarkably in touch with your inner self - naturally, and can express it beautifully. You are a fine contemplator and a very talented poet.

mama!! meow =D

great one's!

These were beautiful! :)

I like the way your mind works here!

Georgie, now a days you are slightly silent which worries me. where are new writings!

Kushal,
Sometimes my muse deserts me, or when I utilise it I get unfairly slammed by some factions. I will let the sunshine in a bit more!

Brilliant!

Thanks Kimberly.

You poems are always fantastic

Thank you so much, Kushal.

You've certainly nailed my love for all things natural and all things academic, and somehow merged them. May I have your permission to use the first line from this poem as "status"? (With attribution, of course).

You have inspired me to find so many things, it is the least I can submit at your disposal.

Ku, I think about these things, though not as eloquently as you have written them. Sometimes it upsets me to think of what I did not perceive in a day's time, and also what was missed through the eyes of the collective.

A beautiful dream plus pensive imagination as a tribute - thanks dear Poddar.

While both are exceptional, as all your work is, the second one holds a special meaning to me that I find breathtaking encapsulated in your words. Much appreciation for the touch you put on my soul this day, my friend. hugs

Wow...the first was kind of eerie...but very interesting, as always!
