the world melts quietly
sinking into days of grey
falling back to a sea of nothingness
swallowing life
swallowing creation
swallowing me

doubt
mixed with primordial browns
inconsistent greys
and the blood of all martyrs
who died never knowing their cause
and of all those who wished
to save a piece of humanity
then watched humanity
destroy life
destroy creation

destroy me

I liked your style here.  The repeating lines of "destroy" and "swallowing" really give it a good effect.

Very very deep poem.  You seem to be having a day much like my life!  This place is great.  Everyone can express their deepest thoughts and be appreciated for it, as I am appreciating your poem now.  Keep up the good work

Thank you all. The first thing my boyfriend said to me yesterday was that the world was melting. He meant that the Indiana winter was thawing a bit, but that comment, mixed with some emotions that have been running through me lately prompted this. Again, thank you for your kind words.

Much like the melting of winter into spring, your poem has an earthtone quality to it. Sometimes so does life. Nice work.

that's deep chica...

i like the color choices...brown and grey (dull and lifeless) mixed with blood red (in this case deadly vibrance).  

i'll admit to you that i haven't yet figured out what all you are talking about b/c i'm pretty sure there is alot going on but i know that whether i understand or not it grips me and i am now on a mission to decipher this thing that can create and destroy you...maybe it isn't just the world around us maybe it is us...

oh yeah, i'm registered!  )
