I have placed
the whisper of the wind
into it's grave
Should I please
the tones of my unrest

It's the dreamer
who haunts me in the stall
But it's the reaper
Who brings me to his call
The path is long, stretched, and weathered
(the only one who attempted me)
The hollow where my eyes once slept
Haven't forgot you yet
And the screaming of the wind
It's turning in its tomb again
Gently now, come the winter aches
Softly now, comes familiar taste
Deeply now, firing atoms over me

When you come to in a plastic bag
With a rope still tied around your neck
I guess it's time I told you
That after all this time
I cannot ever make it right
(Take your breath, one last stance,
an attempt to repair distorted light)

Ooh. I liked! Gave me a creepy feeling at first, but that's just the chills of an awesome poem.
The ending rocked.

Hollow.
Courts.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

power that sneaks up on you; nice.

Wow. This hit me so strongly. Awesome imagery! I love the whole feel of the poem.
This is going in my library.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold

I tend to visualize most things when they are written, this was quite well done.

hatter your work is quite frequently very well put together if you ever attempt to get some published i wish you luck

This is absolutly wonderful. I can't even pick a favorite part, because the next part is even better.
