I have spoken all the words of my soul
diluted for ingestion as half truths and vague lies.
As the artist strips to educate the world mirror
I have exhibited my naked self, opening the facets
of my mind and the threads of dreams;
to be held and explored in the hands of strangers.
Alone my words exist for my own purpose,
here they define me as though
I am God, having giving birth to my people
waiting for them to return the favour.

Born with a great line, in constant search of that
new wisdom to display in prose.
This is the burden that sought me out,
I have been chosen to voice my pain,
to ease my soul I speak agony for sanity.
My experiences are null and void,
only fully appreciated by myself.
Then when I write am I mocking you,
teasing with rhyme, awaiting your interpretation
praying that I am not asked for an explanation?
  
This is my parody. Perhaps that was spoken
with too much clarity. I have lashed against
everything to expel the demons of my adolescence.
Life has drained my fight and tamed my voice
from a passionate shout to an elegant sigh.
Once I waged war today I only want to dream.
Hibernation is my new obsession.
I have spoken all of my privacy openly
allowed the world to see me empty,
Isolation of a lover now strangles me.
Wounded and alone I refuse to let you see.
I deny everything said outside of this parody,
Take your poetic piece of me and leave.
==============================

My inspiration is gone for the moment so I am relying on reposts, just like all the television stations that are showing repeats. This one is from ages ago anyway. THanks for reading. This is best read by looking in between the lines.

hmmm.....this one I like.

"Then when I write am I mocking you,
teasing with rhyme, awaiting you intrepretation
praying that I am not asked for an
explanation?"

Many of us write this way, needing to get out deep rooted feelings but too afraid of being "seen" in raw form.....so we become a parody of sorts  through written words.
very good!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

Brian I tried reading between the lines. All I got was cross-eyed. Lol. Good poem anyway.
btw unless you tell me, I would not know what vintage your work is.
Be well
