Never Meant To Be Known

This one is open to interpretation.

Passages of all length are of an entity divine, sublime,

Quoting the oral traditions of long millennial slumber,

To awake upon the canvas of paint, unfinished, cracking

And peeling for the eyes of the single viewer unimpeded,

Unable to express to any supreme audience its validity.

Witness of events is an unforeseen complication,

Of the uncomprehending and never-ending cascades,

Cascades of something never meant to be the known. 

Enlightenment comes to the individual, not the group,

Endlessly surpassing something intrinsic to humanity,

So close to the touch of the invisibly ancient ones.

Author's Note

Just wanna get some thoughts on this, Mind you, it's a rough draft. I haven't quite finished adding lines to it.

I love when a writer can master word-crafting with unusual & complex words. I used to use many $100 words myself, but then some reviewers said they didn't know how to review me becuz they couldn't understand a lot of my vocabulary (many on this website are not English as a first language folks). For this reason, I've tried to put some "breathing room" between my love of vocabulary & my complex words. I think this poem could be improved in this way, too. It tends to feel more cerebral, whereas I also like to delve into the sensory a little more than the analytical. But that's a preference, & just my own experience, so carry on if complex cerebral writing is your forte! All in all, I was very much drawn in by your title & your message feels a little like what your title says (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I do vary on occasion. My poem The Lonely Wanderer is much simpler in word usage. I personally love purple prose, I'm a big fan of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. :)

I wrote this poem in one sitting so it is technically a first draft as of now. I'm not sure if I should edit it though.

“Witness of events is an unforeseen complication”, and “enlightenment comes to the individual, not the group” is a classic to me!!
Even though this is a rough draft I love reading this and can’t wait for the ending!

Thanks. I have a bit of writers block in regards to how I shall finish it though.
