Two Seperate Ropes:


One rope born to be,
Yet cut in seperate two.
Torn apart for eternity.
Only the wind of fate knew.

Years unknown that went slowly
Passed along times ways.
The two ropes felt lonely,
Yet another awful day.





I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Interesting idea... well written... although if there was a main idea in place... it went flying past my head...nearly hit me in the eye though... stupid idea... should learn how to drive... those young ideas... got no respect for their elders...

This one seems like it could be said about a lot of things, I think.  Nice job on it Dopey, keep them coming.

I thought this was going to be easy enough for you all to get. I guess not. Nobody seemed to ask for an explanation so I won't give one. But thanks for the replies everyone.

Seems to me the "rope" represents a person or people that were either seperated at birth or were supposed to be united but never were.. and only fate knew what was going on.. because neither of the two knew of one another...
If Im right, great... but the possibilities of it are slim
I really liked this, it was so deep and hard to perceive... great one my friend...

Ok....so here's the explanation Acire wanted:


One rope born to be,
Yet cut in seperate two.

OK so there's this one rope symbolizing a bond, yet...the bond breaks in two.

Torn apart for eternity.
Only the wind of fate knew.

So the bond breaks forever, which seems obivous due to the word ETERNITY, and then i'm saying that only fate knew what would happen to the rope....Whether it'd come back together or stay apart. This obviously symbolizes some sort of RELATIONSHIP, right? Yes.


Years unknown that went slowly
Passed along times ways.

Ok so the years of waiting went slow and the rope piece is just sitting there yearning to be joined back with the other piece.

The two ropes felt lonely,
Yet another awful day.

The conclusion states that the two pieces of the rope never joined. They were not whole without the other and yet another awful day to endure until the POSSIBLE join.

So yea, pretty depressing. Kind of a there-is-no-hope-poem.
Oh well.

there you go acire!

agggh.  
I hate being late.
See now I can't make my analysis and then have you tell me how wrong I am... well I'm going to tell you what I got from this poem before I read your explanation anyhow.

I thought this poem was about destiny.  Which actually totally kills the "no hope theme"  Like how ppl say "there's a Mr/Mrs right for every one."  We are born with this bond to this person that we never met, but once we do we finally be come whole.  It's hard to explain what I mean, but I think if you take what I've written here, compare it to your poem, that you will understand what I thought this was about.  But of course we all know that's wrong since you already explained it... hehe
nice one dopey
keep it up
