The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

0 posted 2002-10-23 08:00 PM


The tide comes and drowns the pain,
My soul swirls in the angry torrents,
Dreams of floral, fantasy, happiness,
They gurgle and sputter in the rain,
Cerebral hemorrhages hinder my dreams,
Old fables pass through existence,
My smiles tell a lie, uncomfortable, unfeeling, unhappy.

Pain...
Hurt...
Bleed...
Cut...
Sever...

Harvest insects from my skin,
Bleed my dry, make me cry,
Take my life in your hands,
Controlling me, your using me,
For your own petty wants,
And your own petty needs,
Severe weather forcasted,
Waiting for the Meds,
To save me from this torrent.

Animosity spreads through jaded cells,
Infecting persons, unknown,
Look and me,
The crazy person in the corner,
The only hero in life, betrayed, turned away.

Dirt and sand in my veins,
Scandium Rhythms, wont let me sleep,
REM sleep seems so distant,
Santuary from exhaustion,
I wish,
Was mine.

Mothers touch...
Tuck...
Kiss...
Lovers passion...
Hug...
Loyalty...
Break the walls of insomnia,
I drift off.

One to filch the dream, the prisoner of hate,
Into blazon, hellish nightmares,
Where I feel death,
But don't die,
Just the agony of fire.

Falling...
Tumbling...
Landing...
Crushed...

Scourge of life,
OF HUMANITY! AND OF PEACE!
Make war with the innocent,
THE UNARMED!
Fear seizes my lungs,
Inhaling is impossible,
Incapable to fathom death,
I'm already dead.

I have to agree, the ending just didn't seem to fit with the rest of it.  Especially the capitalization of things, I don't know, I don't think it worked with the rest of the piece.  You have some great imagery though, nice job

I personally enjoyed the ending.  Admittedly it's a large shift from the previous tone, and it kind of takes a new direction... but I felt it somewhat significant to the poem, almost like a conclusion.  The last line is an eyesore, though.  Just a tad cliche.

I really enjoyed a lot of this... like Surreal said, you've brought a lot of imagery into this poem to give it a great texture... and the stanza organization makes it go down very easily.

Definitely a very, very good piece of writing.
