    Forced Entry
    I cannot stand being alone
    Never could
    Yet this arrival spirals
    out of expectation placing
    Ancient walls of future damned
    Pounding fisted please release
    The trick is dreaming
    Finding peace in these

    Oh ardent seeker burned!
    Throughout long history
    Listen passive mostly ashen
    faced aghast excessive passions
    Behold the untold season scheme
    Entered left the rainy green
    Dawn consumes the courtyard scene
    Washes all the wounded clean

    We are free to wander away into realms of fantasy and to dream in search of truth and satisfaction, but we must return to realiy. In nature real truths lies hidden. "Dawn ccnsumes the courtyard scene / Washes all the wounded clean" is saying reams about the wonders and mysteries of Nature. Very beautiful and perfect lines to be enjoyed.

    I cannot see the connection between the title and the theme(s) of this poem. Bu that is one of the mysical tricks of the surrealistic poet. You have to search for relevance.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
