understanding with jo.

my dreams are so real,
so constant and true,
all seems to be new and old,
All running together here.
My memories are somehow
Linked to these imagined,
or maybe not so imagined,
images portraid in my mind.
Nightmares and fantasys
Mix and meld to form a
muddied place in which
confusion reigns over all.
The nightmares prevail
Over fantasys and hope,
Making my fondest times with you
Turn into hatful deths.
I like to explore in my wonderlands
But scream out fears in sweat tears.
Haze covers everything that was clear,
What was hazy is so clear now,
The way you feel about me
And the way i look at you.
Understand what i dont
And take these hellish sounds
So far away, this unrested sleep.
To those who have read and know
The way these memories last,
This is what i see and feel,
Jo, this is my crimson nightmare.

now im alone, but not lonely like before

for once, I'm not too impressed.
maybe it feels like too many words, that are just sort of wasted because there not creating images.  its like short and hurried and cheap descrpitions of something you know is much deeper.
I don't know though....

MHO is that this is more personal than it is impressional. It seems like you're trying more to express something than help people understand, paint a picture, explain something with words, etc. I'm curious to see what you came up with if you assumed that your audience had no idea what you were writing about. That's my two cents.

One more exam to go, I am going to crazy and listening to The Suicide Machines "Permanent Holiday".. I wish. I'll be back, Alex.

Tequila Sunrise -
I think we all know that Alex is talented... people posting "negative" comments are just trying to help him get better, because we can all grow on this forum.

Personally, this wasn't my favorite one you've written, but it's still good... I just like the other three you posted the other day better.

The key is Constructive Critiques! i do not see anything constructive about thoses negitive comments. Maybe next time you can try and help him grow by actualy telling him how he could improve his work...........

this is about a dream that i had. in the dream, nothing was as we think of things. there was no color really, it was almost all...grey except there were crimson colored lamp posts and butterflies around. the poem was more of random ideas. when i wrote it, i had just woken from the dream. the part about understanding with jo refers to a young lady who had an identical dream. it was really weird. thank you all for commenting so much. if you haven't yet, please check out some of my other stuff. thanks
