I’m not here, or there
I’m just atmosphere now
As a nail would curl to flesh
I seed the world afresh
Of poison welts and “heart felts”
Of terror harping and gas marking
A noise amongst devoured space
The palm does defy the face
To cover it with red and pock
An army sent, destroy times clock
We belong to those we have taken
And those to who we have belonged
Have taken us…

But what was her face?
Nothing more than battles field?
Love is the seed of hurt
The one, who dares not return fire
It was said love came without hurt
But it, surely then was a liar…

A candy cane is a hook
Where devil and sugar meet
You cannot escape
From it’s candied bend
It curves around the neck
And so you think
“It’s not that bad…”

Not bad"  This poem is pretty good, but for some reason it seems like it could have been better.  Like if you could have relaxed a little.  Good write.

Mad_Hatter, I really liked the way this started.

I’m not here, or there
I’m just atmosphere

very nice.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

"We belong to those we have taken
And those to who we have belonged
Have taken us…"

Great words, Mad Hatter.

Ryan?
My God this is brilliant:

A candy cane is a hook
Where devil and sugar meet
You cannot escape
From it’s candied bend
It curves around the neck

yes yes it surely does
