And our eyes
           will  fall


Freezing thoughts.
entomb me where I lay
Entwine these lines
upon my dying day

Hope will lurk
life will crawl
And a lie will be carved
upon  your headstone

Someone permanently scarred
Some stone permanently  faded
And our eyes will fall
upon the words

I really liked this. It was very well done.   I just loved the way you expressed this one.

Just wonderful.

Damn Jenn...She stole my favorite stanza as well...

Okay, SO I'm confused...Which one are you? You Puerto Ricans keep coming in by the hand fulls...Most of which I already know...Like Laura, Mariola, Jorge some of which I know regretfully...*Ahem*...Javier...While others I wish would come back, Felipe. (Speak of the devil- haven't talked ot him in forever) LOL, so ya- And your name would be? Or is that to remain private...GRrr..


As for the poem, Twas deeply enjoyed ...each and every line. Very well expressed indeed and I am looking forward to reading much more from you in the hopefully very near future. Seriously though, I really did LOVE that last stanza...I Loved how it began...Very well done, in my opinion (And obviously Jenn's as well.)  

Thanks for the read man...
Twas a pleasure.

This is probably the best poem I have read from you.  You did a good job with not overworking the "dark" buzz words, and making it more of a tone than a theme.  That worked very nicely for me.

I liked the poem. I thought the imagery was wonderful.
You did a great job within the last few lines. It was really powerful.

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

This was really dark and gloomy, but I liked that about it.  It's got a lot of depth to it.

This is a good piece of writing, here, you have a depth, don't know how old you are but this is really very good.

Hmm, very dark.  I like dark poems, then again, I like most types of poems.  This is an exeptionally deep peice, probably better than one such as myself can recognize.  Keep up the great work.
