 The red light is on , but the power is down . i re-try the switch , and i give it a little frown... ...still nothing , so i revert to silence , the only thing i hear is my own sobbing nonsense , and in the back of my mind the words... ..."one day" but for now ill keep those words at bay. The sky is blue , but its getting dark . and now the dog , begins to bark . Im all by myself , im all alone so i let out a little moan The words "4 REAL" carved into my arm, i have been caused so much harm . I lay on my bed and begin to cry i always end up aking myself why why me , what have i done ? where is this "black hole sun"?. im ready now take me to bed all this mess up inside my head . if only the power was on.... "mascara sure and lipstick lost , glitter burned of restless thoughts , of being forgotten" -smashing pumpkins- |

"Everything Must Go Shed some skin for the fear within Is starting to hurt me with everything Freed from the memory Escape from our history, history And I just hope that you can forgive us But everything must go And if you need an explanation Then everything must go I look to the future it makes me cry But it seems too real to tell you why Freed from the century With nothing but memory, memory And I just hope that you can forgive us But everything must go And if you need an explanation Then everything must go Freed us eventually just need to be happy, happy" Nicky Wire. Hi CK, an intense poem, yes there are times when the darkness sets in and things just seem too much, but speaking from personal experience things do get better. I really enjoyed the poem, take care, and stay beautiful, brian. < !signature--> the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself grave visitations what is it that calls to us?" patti smith [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 07-18-2000).] |

I enjoy poems written with this form and this one was no exception to that rule! The saddness ran so free through the lines. Thank you for giving it a second run through~ |
