We are only
Lips and words
Puffs of breaths
Semaphores
In darkness…
Ghosts talking.
The diaphanous
Bubble of words
Between us
Glitters with flecks
As silvery small fish
Pass between us
And are lost
In ripples
And eddies
Of the cosmic ether
And whether intended
Or not these gestures
Half-spasmodic
Flash from within
The cloud
Often accompanied
By ominous rumblings
That are not thunder…
But only conundrums
Of the human sort.
This is a riddle alright. I had to look some of the words up in the dictionary....lol. Did you know the shape of this piece is that of a fish?
I think the poem is about the human storm of emotions, out of the cloud of passion and interferences causing poor communication. Or....it's about communication between God and man - He speaks in a still small voice - not in signs, wonders, or thunder.
I am sure you can explain for me however.

ha ha, and so I did - but you didn't have to be so shy about venturing an interpretation. Once you got the main idea about the failure of human communication, the rest is up to interpretation. One school of thought suggests that once the poem is posted, the author's intentions are only one view in a series of other possible interpretations

You just made me realise that I still have a lot to learn as a poet. Words perfectly enslaved and superb illusive imagery, the fusion swept me off my feet. Thanks for sharing
