Making love
your born...you die
it's too bad it's not as easy as that
Anerisms of the brain
a painless silence
i am all alone

In the mirror at 3 a.m.
you wonder what existence is
hypnotizing yourself is no way to find out
Cold shocks ripple down your spine
and you wonder
Is this winter?
Is this winter?
Is this winter?

A broken twig scattered on the ground
it symbolizes you but you don't know why
Infinite worlds in which you dream
You see the ways your life would have turned
and think to yourself how it would have been

Confusion spreads and hangs in the air
You want to obtain nirvana
Ecstacy is what you bare
That big red target on your forehead
attracks the taunts that you always hear.
You can't decide if you love or like her
You know it's love
Confusion does not always make you so confused




 "My heart is broke,but i have some glue. Help me inhale,and mend it with you. We'll float around,and hang out on clouds, then we'll come down,and have a hangover--have a hangover"

First of all, I really enjoyed the last two lines of this poem...

Second of all, your signature rocks! I love Nirvana and it's good to see people with good taste in music...

As for the title, "You know it's love..."

I really enjoyed this. I agree with Master, "You Know It's Love..." is a great title  .

dear anomaly,
     i have to admit, i like this poem a good deal better than your first post... it shows more depth of thought to the casual reader who may not have access to the same emotions and feelings as you, the author... i'd also like to second Master on giving kudos for the nirvana thing... *heh* i feel so ancient when i talk to current high schoolers that have never heard of Nirvana or Cobain... anyway... i wont go into my "new alternative sucks" speech, just leave it at that and once more commend you on a fine poem...

sincerely,
a sad tomato

 you're such a beautiful freak... i wish there were more just like you...

Right on. This poem is wonderful. and I also agree with Master, "you know it's love..." is an excellent title. Your words depict a lot of thought as well as talent . Beautifully done. Keep 'em comin! Love Always~*~Jessica~*~

Absolutely beautiful...and very powerful...one of the poems that is so full of feeling..


"You could be my unintended
Choice, to live my life extended...." Muse

"Even when we're apart we'll still be under the same sky," LJ Smith

"Hiding in the musty attic is Elusive
She sits, cross legged in a midst dark cobwebs
Several forms scurry to seek shelter
Beneath her levitating shadow.
Her back rigid , eyes glassy
Gazes intently at time escaping
Sliding, smoothly, as sand sprinkles
Through the hour glass,
A single tear grazes her misty cheek." Lani

WOW!!! that's all i can say..keep writing

One question --- I see that you have referred to a tumor in two poems already.  I'm wondering if this means something personally?  If it's to personal, please don't feel obligated to answer the question
