Pearlescent Poems # 45: The Flute Of Fools Part 2 (Original Poem)

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/1ImwwyMty1i5a/giphy.gif</center>

I said a lot of statements that are not retractable
Broke promises, non contractual
Made connections that I wasn't supposed to
And embarrassed myself 'til the point of laughable

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/WvUpPozGRucsE/giphy.gif</center>

Acted like I was above inflammable
Cold heart, like a tribal cannibal
When things got heated, I was out, detachable
On a decline like a line diagonal

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/3cYT51GRhBo9G/source.gif</center>

Had encounters with the supernatural
So illogical and most irrational
Faced walls that I thought impassable
Brought to the floor saw my world collapsible

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/fMGPbUoRE5Xi/giphy.gif</center>

I survived with a love adaptable
Back into place like a part mechanical
Learned my faith, labeled "radical"
But I see the bigger picture, not the fractional...

I'll still be continuing accepting donations until I can reach my goal to fly out to america with my children and wife to visit my family as it is very urgent indeed.

**I've raised $386 and .35 cents of Steemit Currency in total from both My Posts and Donations from Steemit Community Members this 2017 forward and $00.00 in US Dollar Donations so far towards my goal of $ 6,000.00 (Six Thousand) US Dollars and will keep everyone updated with every new future post that I submit.**  
*This total amount will not only include donations I've received to the Paypal account I've provided: CompletelyQJS@yahoo.com, but it will also include the Steemit Currency that I accrue/receive from all of my personal posts starting the 1st of January of 2017 forward calculated after a 48 hour time frame is finished for the payout cycle of each post to avoid miscalculating the fluctuating price of Steemit Currency.*

@jedau · Feb 10 '17

This is an awesome follow-up, way more lyrical than the first part, but the emotion still seeps through. A powerful bridge between the two parts, without even seeing the last part, I know that this is a great gel to bind the whole thing together. The drop in every line really hits hard, like an exclamation for every sentiment. While I won't be able to catch part 3 as it posts (because I'll be away for the weekend), I'll be sure to catch up to it when I get back. Amazing job, now bring it home, brother! :D

Very cool, I especially like how I can hear you rapping it as I read, the words flow really well.  What is the story behind Pearlescent?

Thank you so much my friend. I am posting the full version of The Flute Of Fools today part 3 very shortly. Pearlescent was the perfect adjective to describe my first two handfuls of poetry when I started out on Steemit.com 4-5 months ago as I was always relating to different colors within my multi-faceted poems and playing with words regarding the different colors I chose to map out the titles and the poems as a whole. The Pearlescent Poems title helped me stick out from the rest of the poets with my own style and approach just like my Melodious Music Memoirs titles, so I just continue to keep running with it.

I'll look for it! I see, very cool, it gives you a niche. I think it's important to have one here, well done :)  It's also very fitting, your writing is definitely rich with vibrant colors!
