He walked the lines of poetry and fell.

A Poem by andrew mitchell
"

The write is basically about not being able to understand another poet's write and in a brief moment you wander into a daydream only to become totally lost.

"
When the poem 
had no sound
was the period
of silence death?
Hanging onto
someone else's words
he fell through the space
between the verses
belonging to a world
that had no meanings.
Flying his flag
on his own persona,
he sailed above
the flow of words
until the love
from the heart of poetry
was siphoned
dripping away;
the image of he
started to crack,
the shadow of meaning
was lost and in the confusion
a thought was buried.

I have come to the conclusion you don:t need to understand, just go with the flow of the lines. I get a build up of imagery and quite often the lines will pull on the emotions. I have long given up trying to understand what is in the mind of a poet:)
