Is it funny
Or is it just you?
Where's originality
At this second's beckoning?
Too many Nightmares, Halloweens
Fridays and Deads of Evil
Plots become as beautiful
As an oil painting titled
"The Dung Life"

The sad part
of a special place
is that others can litter it
and make so much less
its original beauty
when true friends in the know
shared inspiring and supportive views
where love lines were cursived in true ruby red
as opposed to the fake ketchup that modern
cinematography feels is lifelike blood

the taste of silence
once deemed deathly slowness
seems much more spicy these days
for the taste of offerings
from pass the time "oh-wells"
are bitter to the palate
when one could at the very least
be at McDonalds knowing what to expect

It would seem these days
that this silent taste
would liken itself to a nice merlot
one in which its label
suggests not to mix
with less than perfect
ponderable digestions.

"Is it funny
Or is it just you?"

loved this opener, and actually, if I'm to answer? I'd have to say that I am not quite sure...or even if there is a point of difference.

smiling, and found the originality...here...

Enjoyed.

wow
purity-
a poem that says much
and done with subtlety, wit,
and a touch of disgust
AND answers a challenge!
love it

Damn, Purity
It seems we write for the same yearbook.

never before have i seen someone take such a strike back stand at a topic, and do it with such poetic blatancy as to be vague enough to make those who didn't get it's point think it to be a great write. (which it is by my own definition). this was so sly, and so great, and yet i had no idea by the title. you are

well, just you. darn good write. i laughed, yet in awe. and i couldn't help but wonder if devina's response would change if she found out that the "lady" in her compliments was actually a very unique dude...lol


i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

Thanks to you all for the responses! And Devina, not a problem at all. Even if standing before you with my long hair and all, you might still question...LOL Thanks for your response.
