Devious Journal Entry

Mon Jan 11, 2010, 12:32 PM
I believe that meaning is dependent to the personal interpretation of one's own perception.

This is where I base all of my existiential philosophies, and I think that, rather than try to explain what my work I post on here is, I will explain what it means when it means something to you.

Beauty is subjective analysis. It is based solely on the conclusive perception of the individual, namely, you. People tell me that my poetry is pretty sometimes. Or powerful, emotional, enlightening, whatever comes to them. But, as my goal is to explain here, those adjectives aren't describing my poetry. I don't put meaning into my poetry any more than a tree puts meaning into the intricacies of it's branches.

Poetry is merely a branch of myself that lives according to it's own pattern of growth, regardless of what I intend for it.

In the same way, my poetry has no meaning until someone perceives that it has meaning, and if you perceive it as beautiful, or touching, or whatever you see it as, realize that your perception has no affect on the reality of my poetry. What you are expressing through your perception is a reflection of yourself, your own mind, as it interprets something and gives it meaning. The beauty you define it, or anything, with is something you pulled out of yourself to give to the world, an interpretation all your own that you share merely by percieving it in the first place.

And that means that true beauty comes from someone who percieves the beauty in everything.
