POETRY :THE ART OF LIFE!
<p><em><strong>The art of living,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Life as philosophy say,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>"a personalized framework of core beliefs, values, and principles that guides your decisions, actions, and understanding of </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>the world "</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Life as humans say,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong> "Is the ability to survive ,or existence in general having an inherent significance or a philosophical point"</strong></em></p><p><em><strong> </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Life as poetry say,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>"The meaning of life is to find your gift,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>                                and</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>" the purpose of life is to give it away. </strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Life as Shakespeare would say,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>"Life's nothing but a walking shadow, A poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>All these may have different definitions, but they all have the same meanings and themes</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>   </strong></em></p><p><em><strong>These are the thesis of what they call "life"</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>STAGES</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>QUESTIONS</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>AWAKENING </strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>PLUMMET</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>CONFESSION </strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>CALCULATIONS</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>BROKEN</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>DESIRE</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>MACABRE </strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>DEATH</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In poetry we say:</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Heavens arms turn slowly,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In the grains of sands,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>We barely learn each actions lived with all seconds past,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>The start ends fast.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In English we say: STAGES</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong><img alt=""

thoughts are vague,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Visions blur, especially where you laid,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Sadness clouds that obscures all feel,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Darkness veils, then what is real?</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Memories sink, so dreams survive,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Nothing to think, when did I die?</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In English we say: QUESTIONS</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong><img alt=""

say:</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Secret illusions that cloud my nights,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Strained temptations that haunt the light,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Intimate pleasures with disguised allure,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Committed relations, so objectively pure,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Implied affections with plague intent,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Obscure delusions wear masked repents,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Shameful perception with fraudulent path,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Innocence scorned, malicious the wrath.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In English we say: AWAKENING </strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG_2267.jpeg"/><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In poetry we say:</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Enchanted message with recoiled thoughts,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Triggered feelings holds puzzle wants,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Annoyed seduction, where games are played,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Simple answers having obsessed ways,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Feed the tempted to reap the few,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Peeved fixation and charmed recluse,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Excited dreamer with an unknown faith,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Alarmed intentions that humbles disgrace.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In English we say:

spells,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Hidden secrets filled with loaded grin,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Subdued glances under a sensual skin,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Pressing flesh with mounted moans,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Ardent tastes prevent groans,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Whispered words and forgotten times,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Missing moments, wish you were mine.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In English we say: CONFESSION</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong><img

in the moment, unintelligibly slurred,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A wondrous attraction conveniently mused,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Sightless attraction masked in

say:</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A thousand tears could never say how I felt when you went away,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Such emptiness devoured my soul, and sadness lived and took its control,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>My love, my all, has left my side, torn from me too fast to flight,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>My broken shell was left in the sand, to never feel that warmth again,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A shattered life, choices made, another day has slipped away,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Your words in me hum

say:</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Shivers kindle with a tempted itch,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Lurking fingers with a hidden twitch,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>A lapping tongue, the teeth ignites,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Gentle strokes with sweetened bites,</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Anxious veins with

nightmare, no escape.</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong>In English we say: MACABRE</strong></em></p><p><em><strong><br/></strong></em></p><p><em><strong><img alt=""

evil those little voices in our head that haunts and taunts us battling with the mind and our condition.
