Perception

Can we look at death as beauty?

Will that conceal our fear of fate?

Do we await a day of amargendon?

Or is that my mind just running late?

Can we believe that love is endless?

Will that shed light on a beating heart?

Do we cover sins with religion?

Or is a tombstone just a mark of art?

Would you mind if I answered..... For death is the beauty that connects us to our creator, the fear that we conceal will melt away like a now-a-later, Armageddon is seen as deadly, I think it's a beauty in disguise, For when the world is shifted, all tear-ducts will forever remain dry, To believe in love makes it endless, simply because without it we would have no existence, weather creation by our parents or through the God of many religions, The art that is never mentioned is that God is love from the beginning, the words to fill the lines, were just there to remember all the glory that we have been missing........ Superb....that's what your poetry led too. Magnificent.

Wow I really enjoy what you wrote sounds like a poem in the making for yourself, it is a wonderful response to the questions I am representing in this piece, thank you,

[F.Gentil]

Thank you for sharing, I question things frequently as well, to make sense of the world around me. These have been things I have thought off constantly, so seeing them so beautifully questioned in your writing led me to this. Maybe we can both post a collaborative poem, because this was a response to your work you deserve credit for what you led my brain to dear. Thank you for stimulating my mind.

Yes defiantly it's actually quite brilliant in my opinion, like to sides of one face. One questioning the world and the other with the answers, like a battle between ones self to discover.

[Brittney]

Definitely not defiantly lol

[F.Gentil]

Yes, like a Dichotomy...and it creates the grey space in between where one can agree to disagree and disagree to agree. this is why I am absoultely in love with poetry, especially this site...so many poets, so many insights, and unlimited growth in the craft.

[Brittney]

This is incredibly true. What a masterpiece can be made when two minds come together to create one poem both standing out equally but being so cohesive

[Shaquana Adams]

I like the way you think. Great poem :)

[Kaitlyn Raiford]

I liked the piece but there were parts in which it did not flow as well as it could have.

[William J. Marsh]

Brittney you are such a creative intellectual thinker with a beautiful soul. I like the way you challenge the reader to do a little thinking.

[Lexi Villanueva]

Wonderfully written as expected.-100

[Simon Welsh]

I love this. Nicely written.

[Tomahawk Joe]

Great rhythmic flow and impeccable rhyming

[Brittney]

Thank you so much!

I love the last line, it has so much behind it in terms of how we see death and deal with it. I have always believed that the only person that cannot be effected by death is the person who dies. Great poem!

[Brittney]

Interesting and compelling beliefs, thank you so much for your review :)

A great write on the interplay between life, death, art and creation. Nice.

hmmm, very interesting. I like how each line is a question, and the poem flows very nicely. I am especially a fan of your last two lines :D

[Brittney]

I often question everything, this poem was a results of tiredness hours contemplating everything and nothing at the same time. Thank you for your review!
