Enter the Void

Loosely based on the film "Enter the Void" by Gaspar Noé, with a bit of spirituality thrown in.

transmitting the body

       into temporal preexistence,

I rise into 

    the v-o-id

merging  lecumolar

transdestiny with

omniscient particles,

a lucent mesmerization,

unseen by the physio-

logical eye and yet heard

when the fingers move

the objects out of

time-minding binds

slipping alternatly from

I'm-agery to you-magery

and all the space between

emerging, submerged in

an immersible cosmic 

bubble, expanding as it

dsibnasd, showing the

all-time-ate

truth.

Eric, this is such a good piece of poetry. The wording and everything makes such an impact, it really makes the poem a lot more powerful and adds a kick to it. Much more 'oomph'

I loved these lines, for me they were so powerful... I love how you write specific words differently and put them in different fonts. This is really clever and very well structured.

Thank you so, so much Noodleyoodlebop! (Yes, I really called you that.) Your review just made my morning!! I'm glad you liked the font thing, too - one of my friends in college did a similar thing with one of his poems, and everyone thought it was gimmicky...but I think it depends on the poem.

As for the words themselves, it was very much spiritually inspired. I feel as though I'm getting in touch with my "inner self" lately. Perhaps I should do so more often!!

I love that name, made me laugh. I think you pull it off very well and I love it, it makes each poem more 'you'

You're very welcome.

I enjoyed reading this piece. The title grips the reader and the composition is fresh and innovative. The flow is at a constant pace, no breaks. An excellent job.

[Eric Pudalov]

Thank you Natechia!! That's exactly what I was going for (constant flow). I was feeling very trippy at the time, which I think helped.

Sweet Goddess - this rocks! No other words! lol A fav ♥

[Zahra]

very nicely penned, clever write, amazing.

[Eric Pudalov]

Thanks, Voice!! That's awesome...I really appreciate your comments.

[BlackRose]

Great piece. Really like how you did this. Reminds me in some ways of tai-chi or having to do or move things with the mind when it's in complete focus.

[Eric Pudalov]

Thank you, Rose! That is kind of what I had in mind...how reality changes with perception. It was somewhat spontaneous, even though I said that the film inspired it. Hard to say what "really" inspires a poem.

[BlackRose]

Sometimes it can be hard what inspires some of our poems. I guess those ones are just inspired from what quickly pops in the mind. Like some of mine are here or some that are in my notebook as drafts for now or in my mind for awhile and haven't got down to putting it somewhere to get back to it and having it soon be up here. When you have a brilliant mind anything can come up or form into what we write or type down.

And I thought this was what you had in mind. And I have heard of the movie but haven't seen it. Your very welcome.

[BlackRose]

And to me everyone is brilliant in their own way. :o)

The Buddhists wrote about the void being the ground of being. Good poem

[Eric Pudalov]

Thanks! It's something I've been thinking about recently - I did see a film called "Enter the Void," but I've also had these visions that were like out-of-body experiences, and that kind of inspired the poem as well. I'm glad it doesn't sound wacky!!
