DEJA VU A single thought - a splintered hope. A notion sought beyond all scope Of idle dreams or vapid eyes Of Time, sure seems procured in lies. By arms embraced, that glimpse of trust Stood, now, defaced by look of lust. In silent wake, that fitful shame Forever pent upon the name. That chimera of Conquered Bliss. That caprice of the bleak abyss. That fancied frolic of a day That on faery's wings flies away. To leave but cold Reality To grieve this old memory in me, Or spin shadow to silhouette That in Darkness I may forget. And so I cling to penance, shorn, Abide the sting of love turned scorn; Yet pray the venue of release Is cause enough to grant her peace. Reticence lost, mimicry gained, By all accosted feeling, feigned! Truth, encumbered about the need, By days, numbered, yet waits to bleed. Michael Anderson But dreams-of those who dream as I, Aspirinly, are damned, and die EAP [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 07-09-2000).] |

words can't express the beauty of this poem only stunned silence "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else" faster-Manic street preachers. |

You are a master of words...a true poet (I think I said that somewhere else). Wish I could vote for this one!  |

Why do I know that when I finish reading one of your poems Michael, I will alway take a deep breath, and just simply sigh ... This was stunning Michael, just lovely! Best wishes, /Kit |

Hi Michael, I agree with Beth, SPEECHLESS besides you used all the good words. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |
