The aim and essence of my poetry

//I don't like to write in prose about poetry, because it opposes to the very form and essence of poetry but since sometimes the approach of some readers to my poetry shows complete misunderstanding of its roots and aims - so I have to write this essay//

The aim and essence of my poetry - is both confession and purification with transformation of my soul by God's Light.

All my intentions, thoughts, desires - become analyzed from the point of view to coincide with the Will of God that is expressed in His commabdments.

That's why there are 3 participants in my poetry I hope - it is me, the side opposite to God (devil)         and God who transfers it finally to His road of Light.

It is no shallow Romantic love poetry where stiff and shaped passions are devoded of any progress or transformation of individual soul  and intrusion of different mystic powers and so to say vertical dynamics (not to mix up with the verical dynamics that remains still on the earthly level) .

Such a view and approach to poetry was not yet found in history of World literarute, that's why many critics can't find out the true aim and sense of my poetry even after reading hundreds of my poems because it doesn't suit to their clich;s embedded in their minds by study of centuries of spoiled low-spirited secular poetry as well as their own limited experience of Non-Sacrament secular background.

My aim and what obviously comes out from my poems now - is to put the experience of the main Church Sacraments: Confession and Communion into poetical form, to the possible extent.

That's why the directness and sincerity are also crucial for my poetry as they are crucial for Confession. That's why my poetry doesn't hide anything.

It is based on the blessed idea that all what is given to us is good since it is the material for serving God and transformation of our energy from shortcomings that are against God's Will are the aim of our work here on earth and we get the results of feeling His transforming power, love, help and bliss here already.

My poetry is not mainly about shortcomings (I may say that it is mainly about God's Light) , but since on Confession we have to wash the dirty places up to our human ideal preparing them for receiving even Higher Ideal - the Sanctity of God through Communion - to them, my shortcomings I dedicate the most of my attention.

It also has a character of prayer (since a prayer always is the invocation of the Third part of my poetry - God, the upper force, the transfromning Light)    - or at least that is what my main aim is, if not all af my poems accurately suit to this role.

Sometimes such transformation may be seen in one poem, sometimes it takes a cycle of poems to purify complicated emotions, but the aim and direction remains.

Thus the aim of each poem is the projection of the aim of life - the merge with God, and each poem serves to this aim by small contribution.

That is how my poetry should be understood.

Probably - the Revolutionary name of my trend is 'Bilingual Regular Confessional - Communion Poetry'.
