I’m absolutely hopeless when it comes to the absorption of flattery and/ or compliments. Psychology would direct this type of personality trait toward deep seated roots that intertwine emotional razing in my formative years and other various askew baselines. Having written such a poignant statement, I am rather taken aback that someone of your intellectual wealth could possibly find a common ground with me. In a way, it goes back to what we were talking about before... That knowledge is perhaps not only relative but perceived and graded by those in your circles. I would very much like to say, while momentarily dodging our philosophy, it sure is nice to be able to relate to someone who is comfortable on my delicate platform. <br />As for writing a book, I have only had dreams of what might have been. To be honest, I wouldn’t know where to begin let alone the subject. Could it be procrastination by my own design or the subconscious in me that whispers ‘unworthy of going down in the scrolls of time’? Perhaps this, like with some of our roots, grow too long for the pot and as such, one must trim back the root ball. Encouraging growth and stimulating new branches. I have found that true with our conversations, albeit over a short period of a week or so. Destiny, kismet, life; a someone to gently prise me from the moribund and stimulate new growth. One which I hope continues even in some small way. I do hope my dialogue has given you a calming insight of me, rather than the obvious ... ‘DANGER WILL ROBINSON,DANGER!!!! Hehe. Who knows, perhaps many years from now we can drink fancy, overrated coffee, laugh at our choice of clown costume (there has to be a ridiculous costume involved) and read each other’s novels. I have a sneaky suspicion you have a fair few under your belt already ;)<br /><br />Mark aka Monk aka AKA aka Ps aka Masquerading as meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706019632027162854.post-26664367416100770102014-01-13T07:52:25.035-08:002014-01-13T07:52:25.035-08:00Thank you for the poem, Monk...
If I may be so i...Thank you for the poem, Monk... <br /><br />If I may be so imprudent to surmise I can know something of you from a string of words you crafted and shared... you strike me as an exquisitely conscious latecomer (confirmed by your recent sharing) ... you somehow manage an authentic step beyond, and nothing so inaccurately termed Postmodernism has caught up with you. Your writing reminds me of what perhaps began in Flaubert, and later of Proust, and even my all-time childhood favorite, Kafka... Perhaps you are destined to write a novel of permanent genius, invariably funny and like Shakespeare's early comedy 'Love's Labour's Lost' a feast of language. <br /><br />If you do ... or if you have and I am just unaware of its existence, I should like to read it as I imagine I would have much upon which to draw or *ponder. <br /><br />Sophy :D Soph Laughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588609258171352719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706019632027162854.post-24998233327060060482014-01-12T10:43:58.446-08:002014-01-12T10:43:58.446-08:00Inspired by your post, here’s a poem instead of my...Inspired by your post, here’s a poem instead of my usual musings <br /><br />The authenticity of the me<br />Can be defined by the you<br />My doppelganger form, the now and thens<br /><br />I am a unique in the uniqueness of me<br />Contained, ostentatious and meek <br />I can charge bravely the Minotaur <br />As the beast hunts the labyrinth dark<br />I can scorch the embers of Dante’s divine<br />Whilst performing song for Metatron<br /><br />Arc thy bow with arrow<br />To Cupid or to Achilles <br />Tears seamlessly melt the rains<br />I am the wax seal and scroll<br />Found on genuine article<br />You are the stamp that pressed<br /><br />Dreams dissolve without the us<br />Like perceptions from the you<br />And we, we authenticate me the best<br /><br />Monk<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
