10 Pieces Of Poetry That Shattered My Mind’s Limits
Power of words for those who like to both think and feel.
Poetry, if written and read right can thrust your mind into unvisited areas at such breakneck speed that in no time you find yourself changed beyond even your own recognition.
This is largely because of the nature of the art. Poetry compresses mental states, environment, perception, opinions, worldviews, beliefs, knowledge, etc. into a few words by using a lot of analogies and non-linearity.
Poetry is like a mighty bomb that can decimate any walls, bridges, boundaries and frontiers — if done and read right!
I say all this because I have had a strong and healthy relationship with poetry. I have published two books and both are poetry.
Poetry has changed me, shaped me, destroyed me, designed me.
Poems have helped me deal with misery and suffering. They have shown me beauty and feelings. They have helped me break shackles and relationships. They have helped me build relationships. They have helped me explore, experiment. They have opened many closed doors for me. They have closed many open doors. They have broken emotional and mental frontiers allowing me to feel and see things I never would have even imagined existed.
