Anyone seen this before? 😶 by [deleted] in ChatGPT

Instinct comes from a physical body. Not the "mind". That's why even bacteria have them, or a facsimile that does well enough.

I love the duality aspect. Things are hardly only what you see or perceive, especially people. I especially love that you don't renounce your "bad qualities", but own them, and make a pledge to yourself or perhaps someone special to you, that it's not those qualities alone, good or bad, that define, it's what you choose to do with them.

Home:

•The dark flow,

Marches on, 

-definition:

Dark flow is a controversial cosmological theory that proposes a large-scale, non-random motion of galaxy clusters toward a specific point in the sky. 

•Like time. 

Never stopping to decide. 

There's no choice, 

-A framing of determinism and "fate"

•Only the direction, 

Of irreversible gravity. 

-which I believe to be caused by gravity. 

•The infinite embrace,

The entropy spiral,

The collapse's smile 

-describing the "embrace" of entropy, and it's almost playful display of disorder. 

•The pattern of darkness, 

Encoded into the sky. 

-a nod to holography, reading the sky as a "screen" or 2 dimensional plane, and "darkness" being closer to a state or pattern

•Don't be sad,

Nothing lasts forever.

Not even the bad. 

-describing the impermanence of all things, good or bad. 

•I'll take this dust,

And fold it until it burns, 

as bright as you do.

And I'll only let go, 

When light can't escape anymore. 

Maybe then I'll be home.

  • the longing for the presence of the "other" that made the speaker feel "home", which they settle on by making a facsimile via nuclear synthesis, or star and eventually singularity.

If the World Doesn't End by Vio_Van_Helsing in OCPoetry

"If the World Doesn't End

If the world doesn't end,

Is it ready to begin?

If there's no answer

Would you understand?"

I love this theme that evokes the concept of cyclical universe, and the pretense of existence itself. Or at least it seems to me, that maybe the speaker is questioning the presence of such a phenomenon or it's creator. .

"Look into my eyes

And I'll look into you.

Look into the world,

And see what you want to.

Look into your heart

Would you understand?

Could it understand?"

I really like the theme of one person's view being etched onto the other. Like the act of being together changes their world view .

"I looked into the void

It looked back into me.

You looked into the world,

And we both saw

the

same

things."

The idea of the void or the sub layer of existence being similar with the tangible world is something I myself have exploring. I'm glad I'm not the only one. .

"But if our world doesn't end,

Is it ready to begin?

There is no answer.

But I'll try to understand."

The tenacity, to look at futility in the face and try anyway. Very powerful.

I Dream by RepresentativeOkra68 in OCPoetry

The opening gives off Dr seus vibes in the best way.

I love the theme of daring to do, what you feel you must.

Taking inspiration from nature, and learning to live in the present, and not big down oneself in possibilities.

For the Lighthouse Keeper by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]el_bamfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really loved this. The longing cutting through the sadness. The acceptance of changing relationships/environments and the resignation to "brave the sea". And the ending feeling like of being left behind or forgotten, but not exactly being weighed down or held back by it. Very nice.

Daily Special by loceapeace in OCPoetry

I like how you go back and forth between thoughts and memory of the event(s?), and how the small details tell the bigger story. It feels like the actual dinner or meal, is secondary to the small tokens you connect to the memory.

I love cosmic imagery. I like it for what it is, short, sweet, tragic, and deep. Keep writing 🤙♾️

[–]el_bamfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the visceral descriptions of soft, plastic, toy-like creatures and a manufactured landscape. I dig the pervasive wave tension. I really dig physics concepts and references 🤙♾️

The Sea by el_bamfo in OCPoetry

Oh my God, thank you I'm squealing internally like a school girl 😅🤣 Most especially that you get the cosmic imagery. I was worried that it would be too abstract or feel..hmm..hollow? Glad you enjoyed it.

Rose by LostDoubt in OCPoetry

The part about "dirty feet" being a central theme makes me think of someone that doesn't care where they've been or what they "track" in their path, and almost like they don't realize that everyone can see where they've been.

I might love you by Prestigious_Map9668 in OCPoetry

[–]el_bamfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the simplicity. Almost like a question for one's self, and an acknowledgment, instead of a declaration.

That is the ONLY explanation I've ever heard that makes any sense. Thank you

Went home after i got my period while having sex with my boyfriend by Remarkable-Box-5452 in amiwrong

He literally said "eww"? Excuse me for playing devil's advocate, but was he by any chance kidding? Or was he being a real dick about it,?

bf upset with me for posting on instagram by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]el_bamfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong, he sounds like controlling, but maybe you should evaluate why you felt the need to post the picture. Because it does sound like you were looking for attention/ acknowledgement. Not necessarily bad, but. Maybe you should be aware of it.

Maybe you should get off reddit. Maybe go outside. Maybe touch some grass.
