I know of an ancient recipe For cold and tainted ecstasy An esoteric image With choleric heomeorage Silent as a statue And harnessed to a tree Preying on my virtue Praying fall of me For what deserted demon Would steal the hearts of men? That which now lies bleeding Once alive within A flame so brightly burning Out of sightly yearning Then forever turning Intimate as sin Give me light to read by Give me hands to feed by Give me ears to listen Give me tears to glisten Haunt the night with hollowed lies Share thy bitter allibies Overhead, the stormy skies Rip away your frail disguise Fervent thoughts ignite Hell's fire Screaming through these cursed walls Hate surpasses all desire Watching as a kingdom falls Broken bones and crystal ashes Settle on the drowning masses Not until forever passes Shall your conscience hear their calls I'll just keep on laughing, Hiding the tears in my eyes... *Oleander |

Can you explain this one to me (I'm having a hard time concentrating today, maybe it's not the best time to try to understand poetry  ) ???"Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! |

Ok, I think I'll have to add myself to the "I don't understand" list.... Hope to see what this is about... I'm really intrigued. Your friend, Caz It's been raining since you left me. |

ok so this demon is screwing with mens hearts and stuff and we won't completely understand why until "forever passes". As if saying......like....this hate in the world....or some sort of hate or bad thing is taking over everything we know.....but we can't fully realize it until our consciences do...and that'll be like......never? hahaha i don't know.....i just read it once and did a little scim scam interpretation of it....  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Ok, let me take a crack at it. To me it seems kind of simple. A helpless demon, sweet tasting sin, eventual eternity in hell for your lustful curiosity? Am I even close? Let me know. Of course I see it all as symbolic of a true life experience. If he seems perfect, he's probably the devil in disguise. jason < !signature-->I'm not concieted...I'm convinced.
