Hello
Thank you for coming to look at my poetry - You will see very quickly that my poetry doesn't conform to any of the traditionlly accepted styles of verse and if you happen to find a poem that does, well it must be down to pure coincidence!
My poems are built on my thoughts, dreams, memories and experiences of this life, scribbled down primarily for myself, as part of a lifetime search to find out what I am, where I am, and what the hell I'm here for.
I believe that words are very inadequate tools we have developed for summarising and communicating the much more complicated images and emotions we experience in our lives. After all, words are at best merely a pencil sketch of the image or emotion we associate with them.
When I write my poetry I am sometimes just using several words to describe that image, or emotion in greater detail,
The main themes that my poetry is exploring (philosophically) are;
The relationship between ourselves and our chemical , visual and physical environment
Our origins
The true nature of our collective conciousness (God)
The emotions we experience
Our control over our behaviour
Our relationships with one another
Key elements of the descriptions of things we visually experience and how we remember them.
Their content comes from every conceivable direction of perception and you may for that reason alone find some of them contradicting one another.
But then is that not life? - You have to look at the whole picture - and sometimes beyond the whole picture.
For that reason you may read any one of my poems and take away a totally different understanding of it than that I intended - or you may not understand them at all.
That is entirely down to your own understanding of the images my words are conveying to you.
I do hope however that you can find at least one moment of significance amongst them if you do have the inclination to read them.
I would ask that if you do read them however that you remember just one very important thing - they were all written to myself, to help me remember my thoughts at the time I wrote them, no more than that.
I hope you enjoy them and come back again and I would like to say that I am always happy to answer any questions you may have about my poetry.

THE POET
I shall paint for you a vision, within your minds to see.
A vision full of colour, understanding, mystery
I shall paint your minds a vision, in words, then let it be
That every time you read of it, your spirit may be free

About Me
- Egal Bohen
- Just an ordinary man experiencing life and trying to work out what its all about, wanting not to upset anyone in the process, wanting to help where he can, wanting to listen when he needs to and above all wanting to learn. So if after reading my poetry you can help me - here I am
It matters not who says the word - It matters only that it's heard

Boy. I've put emphasis in just about every place I could to change the meaning of this poem at least a half a dozen times.
I can't decide which one I'm gonna go with.....
Oh, for punctuation! LOLOL
Mel,
Knowing
Being
Distraction
Illusion
are 4 - how do you get 6!!
This is interesting - Tell me what you see - please!
Egal..
Mel,
I think I have seen the problem - and remedied it - is it any better?
You see its because I write these things to myself - I know what they mean despite punctuation.
I must think more of others - thak you for drawing it to my attention!!
Egal..
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Well that changed the context of what *I* read.
Though yaknow....I was kinda liking the messy thought process when I had it reading:
Knowing is one thing being another.
Distraction, the reality.
Illusion, it's brother.
Yeah, yeah..I'm kinda weird...LOL
Thats the fun of poetry isn't it!
Egal..
I love this one. . .
what did it look like before tho? now I'm curious!
Yep.
But I do like where yours are separated into thoughts.
Knowing IS one thing--'being', another.
hello i,ltv,
How are you?
It was the same but different -the words were arranged without thought leaving them open to confusing misinterpretation (That seems an awfully long word!)
Fortunately Mel pointed this out to me (very politely of course)
Egal..
Mel,
Thanks - the more I think about it it's what I love about poetry - it can have many different meanings or interpretations (that seems a bit long too - keep thinking I've spelt them wrong)
Egal..
still breathing, egal.., still breathing
even smiling occasionally!
I hope you are well and enjoying the sunshine
:-)
