random poem

Lake
by Czeslaw Milosz

Maidenly lake, fathomless lake,
Stay as you were once, overgrown with rushes,
Idling with a reflected cloud, for my sake
Whom your shore no longer touches.

Your girl was always real to me.
Her bones lie in a city by the sea.
Everything occurs too normally.
A unique love simply wears away.

Girl, hey, girl, we repose in an abyss.
The base of a skull, a rib, a pelvis,
Is it you? me? We are more than this.
No clock counts hours and years for us.

How could a creature, ephemeral, eternal,
Measure for me necessity and fate?
You are locked with me in a letter-crystal.
No matter that you're not a living maid.

Name and Layout

This fanlisting first had a different layout, but by the time the adoption went through I disliked the layout so made another one. Everything on the layout pretty much speaks for itself; there's a picture of someone writing, a pencil, the half of a poetry book and some random brushes and textures. Also there's a random poem area as you might see; there will be another poem shown whenever you refresh or go to another page. I had quite a hard time coming up with a name. Miracle of Mind is a song by Joey DeGraw - I love that title and found it quite poetic; and isn't poetry just that? A miracle of mind? I added heartfelt because poetry comes from the heart and you show a part of yourself that otherwise remains hidden.
