Re: [ZESTPoets] Re: 'I am' by Shekhar Kapur................"I AM"

Oh it makes a lot of sense. It is well written. The poem reminded me of "Heart of Darkness".
 
"the real you,
silhouetted against the darkness
wrapped within the folds of
your own existence
you decietful self"....sounds so much like Mr. Kurtz!
 
The same unfathomable secrecy surrounds this "you". And your "incredibility" resembles Marlowe's horror when he realizes that instead of the perfect ideal he had supposed Kurtz to be, he is instead facing his "choice of nightmares". Ofcourse you, I think are talking about some friend whose inconsistency has suddenly been exposed.
I enjoyed reading this poem.

And meeting you...
the real you,
silhouetted against the darkness
wrapped within the folds of
your own existence
you decietful self
the truth strikes
with a deeper sting
All logic fails me
as i try to defend
the incredibility of this moment
-the derision
unfathomability of this brief reunion.....
