just skin away the ego

leave little of myself

take away the longing

strip me down to moments

burn memories on the pyre

love and loss and loneliness

throw all onto the fire.

My dear friend, Spike,

What power in such a short little piece. In here you have captured something I've felt more times than I truly care
to think on. How glorious to burn the ego's absurd and nagging qualities, to awaken fresh with new perspective.
Can this be done? Can we let go of primitive instinct, to allow a more calm and serene essence to wash over us?

What is it we humans need exactly? We all rush around day after day in search of what it is that will fulfill, satisfy
and make us complete. Do we ever fully know what that is? Thanks for this, poet. It has created a wealth
of pondering within me.

Exemplary. Rich with depth and insight. (As usual)

^_^

Spike - This is amazing, when I started reading it , the flow from the tongue was so smooth.

The content itself fantastic and extremely powerful. I wish I could have written something like that.

Outstanding - kudos to you.
