Halfway struck blind
in a faded gown,
I find myself throwing
stones at everyone around
Consuming my eyes until
they are no longer brown
Holding mirrors up to their
faces, but still all I'm
getting is their pocket change

On the other side of the mountain
you'll find me waiting there
but soon I'll slide off the ground
so you better come and
find me now

On the other side

I feel like some kind of
desert thing, licking sand
because it feels insane
When  nipples become a girl's crown,
God forbid she ever open her mouth
It'd turn this whole world
upside down

Cela passera.

Enchantingly dark as usual I highly enjoy reading the spells you weave with your words, you seem to have no boundaries when writing your poems.  I love it!!!

it means he's talking crazy mans speak ...(kidding danniti )

i love reading your poems j...theyve got the "feel" to them i cant quite put my finger on. i loved this part:

Holding mirrors up to their
faces, but still all I'm
getting is their pocket change

kinda like what some of my friendships are like too...well not friendships...but with some people in general...not getting my moneys worth there.

good poem ....i liked it lots!

My england is goodly- are you strudable?

It's Greek, like you probably guessed. It means "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior." In the Greek aplhebet, if you take the first letters of those words, it spells IXOYE (Ichthus), meaning fish. Thus, the fish is a symbol of Christianity.

On to the poem.... on this one... I must say, I'm a bit lost.

"On the other side of the mountain
you'll find me waiting there
but soon I'll slide off the ground
so you better come and
find me now"

"God forbid she ever open her mouth
It'd turn this whole world
upside down"

I get the feeling you feel on the other side, apart from society. If you try and take part, it freaks the world out. You hold the mirrors up for them, so they can see themselves, but they miss it and merely toss you loose change. I'm not sure.... please do explain this one to me. Talk to you soon.

Sincerely,
Titus

It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what you think. Whatever you gather from anything becomes yours.

I agree.

But what were you feeling when you wrote it?

I write so that others can get what they wish out of it... but I do have a meaning in what I write. It's a balance for me.

I'm just curious what you were meaning.

wow, some crazy stuff here.  i don't know it never would have occured to me to write anything like this. which is obviously why you wrote it :-) if i had seen a poem similiar to this, the first response i probably would of had is "what the hell??" however, your words sort of cast a spell on me, and i found myself tryin to figure out what you were talking about.  the only thing that came to mind was a crazy homeless person, but aye that is just me.  a very strange post, but still a great one.

maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio-

Excellent.  That's my favorite part. It's kind of like a girl discovering her sexuality in a way.  Well nice read, thanks for sharing.  Hope to read more soon!

once again, i get the feeling that you're hinting at your own emotional immaturity.

it seems to be a common theme in the last few pieces i've read by you.

maybe i'm way off-base.  but maybe i'm not.
