Poetry by Louis Cennamo

Beyond the Blackstar

The artist will know
a death
 
As much an art form
as a birth 


Presence, ever living
unfolds to Itself
 
Free, from the scars of
 
Time  -the concept,  
Space -the adventure
 

Grievers,
shaken by the passing,
mourn the loss
 
of a silhouette,
merging
into the white
 
of an unknown
 
where remorse dissolves
into the timeless heartbeat
of a brave spirit…
 
Alive always- once
freed from the masks,
 

Above the shock-waves,
and the tributes…
 
Beyond the BlackStar
 
Where as One-
All can be heroes
 
Let us meet there

David Bowie (1947-2016), by his longtime photographer Jimmy King

Louis Cennamo is a retired pro musician, poet/creative writer and holistic healer. He has a wealth of life experience in these fields that colours his creative writing—mostly in the form of metaphysically themed short stories. Ten of which have been published since he began submitting them two years ago. His poetry is also mainly esoteric and intuitive, sometimes dream-like and meditative, emanating from the still silence always there,  in the space between each word.
