When does the curtain fall
When does half become all
When do you see me as i am
When is it truth and not a sham
as a way to calm my scream
slap me and wake me from my dream

the square becomes the whole of love
from a lizard to a dove
i`m not over it at all
into the void i took the fall
no turning back
from the blue into the black

this world`s a wonder
babies crying sounds like thunder
then there`s your voice
it splits the atom
slams the brakes
pulls me up from the fathoms
into sunlight and blows away
the novicane of day to day

so give it to me
i need it
give it to me now
don`t ask why
don`t ask how
cause deep down you know
without a thought
never learned,were never taught
it just flows from you like a river
and sweeps me away and sucks me under
only to be flung upon the bank
gasping breathless
near to death
making love or making life
whats the difference
if it ends the strife
of mindless ****

Whoa!! Now this poem just reaches out and grabs ya by the throat.  But I do understand where you are coming from with it.  Keep your chin up.

This is beautiful Nameless!! I love the descriptions....unfortunately the feeling and not the words of the emotion are unpleaseant....but maybe writing this has helped calm a little =] i hope so....exquisite poem =]

it's these questions we all would like to ask, and with answers back.
loved the poem.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

~This is a great piece.  Isn't it crazy how something that can make you feel so good can make you feel so bad?.....I loved the line "pulls me up from fathoms, into sunlight and blows away the novicane of day to day"...I've been doing this too,..being pacified...numbed.....but for me I think it's nothing more.  ***Great poem***
