we die daily
"The birth of the reader must be at the cost
of the death of the author"--Roland Barthes
we, who toil, through nights thick with fog
and bog thick with rot leaves, die daily,
some days more than once, when, they march
right through our dense forest of thoughts
without ever lingering slightly, to listen
perchance to ponder, the wondering stream
of pebbled creek cutting through dim groves.
and pan and pandora dance on, as we
our numb fingers press on, playing
feeble tunes to the fleeting dusk
when old Zephyrus behind golden clouds hid
where memories join long lost pains
and dreams lie by glimpse of strayed times of joy.

thoughtful and meaningful.
True, we die daily when we don't listen to our heart, no feel of nature and universe. _________________ ---------------------

Enjoyed reading your English poems, ZY. You do have the craft!
I like how you included an epigraph and literary reference of Greek mythology in your poem. In my opinion, an epigraph sets up a theme and helps readers to better read and understand the text and see the source of the writer's inspiration; while mythology adds the depth to the content. It is an intense write, poignant, indeed.
I wonder if I get it right here: "we" refers to authors, "they", readers.
Thanks much!
PS: Funny, the epigraph
引用: | "The birth of the reader must be at the cost
of the death of the author"--Roland Barthes |
makes me think of the name of a website, "Poets' Graves".

Yes, "they" are them, and "we" are us.
Although, at times, we are them, and they are us, too.
Thanks for the comments.
Barthes' work relate to signals and mythology, so I thought it appropriate to use a few allusions to mytholody.
I am still only practicing the "craft".
Cheers. |
