Thoughts Encrypted

by Michael D Nalley   Oct 12, 2008


Ethereal thoughts of the past encrypted
Other than those inherently scripted
By the authors inspirationally gifted
Where hopeless souls seem to be lifted

Are the thoughts that have endured?
Healing diseases that can be cured?
By the words which have evolved
From the hosts which were involved

Must passion for divine power be satisfied?
Until we all are condemned and crucified?
From accusations of truth mixed with lies
Where true followers must somehow rise

Sinners burnt to ashes and saints in their crypts
Throughout history have followed their scripts
Are we all a blank slate as we leave the womb?
Who by their own divine power escapes the tomb?

Imagine a wealth of ideas with double locks
Buried or hidden within a vault or a box
Would we search for the box without a key?
Or do the ideas belong to you and me?

Who would claim time beyond measure?
To possess it and hide it like a treasure
Thoughts encrypted as a Padre void of passion
Is it the kind of tomb anyone would fashion ?

    I liked it. It is not one that I see every day. The wording was great and you really got your point across. It is also a good poem to get people to think. I gave this poem a 5/5.

    This poems word usage and flow were excellent! But the concept is what caught my eye the most. It had a very deep meaning to it and the questions were real. Not to mention how they were strategically placed to make this poem even more powerful!

    The last line of this poem really wrapped it up beautifully! Great clincher! 5/5

    I really loved how the title was used in the first line, I like how you got straight to the point rather then letting the poem flow on and on and then somehow incoporating it at the end.

    I loved your word choice, and your ability to make the word rhyme was amazing. Great job on using words that aren't so plain, it makes the flow so much better because the flow was not forced.

    The last few stanzas asked a lot of questions, and I really liked that.. because I truly felt like I was in your mind and thoughts. It's always interesting to see other people's thoughts and I'm glad you proposed your thoughts as questions, it makes the reader think themselves.

    "Imagine a wealth of ideas with double locks
    Buried or hidden within a vault or a box"
    `Loved these lines for the main fact that you get the reader involved. Again, it makes the reader think or imagine a situation. Great job.

    Really unique poem all together. I love the originality behind your poems everytime. Amazing job with the word choice and flow of the poem. Outstanding work. 5/5.

    Okay first off you have a very extensive vocabulary which caught my eye on the first line, the pro of that is that you can make alot more original poems with more ease, but the con in my opinion is its harder to keep flow. and about your schemeing pattern.

    throughout the entire poem makes it sketchy to read and its hard as hell to make flow.
    it took until the second to last stanza for me to really like the poem instead of it just being another comment now i can put emotinal comments behind it.Over all, good poem, nearing excelence. 4.5/5 =5/5
