Temptress posted a poem from a "male point of view" which reminded me of a poem I wrote when challenged to write a poem from another person's POV..... I assure you all I am sane but the poem was tried from the POV of someone who was not ....David Berkowitz (Son Of Sam) and is grisly. I posted it in "Dark Passions" but it was quite a while ago. I hope this repost is okay. ---I’m So Sorry--- ~ You will never know me Until it’s far too late. Women you have never met, Have sealed your grisly fate. ~ I fought the inner voices. I’ve prayed they leave me be. But everywhere I look are lovers, Leaving only me. ~ When you held her hand, Then gave a warm embrace. My blood began to boil, My pulse began to race. ~ My eyes must be so vacant, Devoid of love or care. You know you are about to die. I see it in your stare. ~ I do not even know you, You’ve never done me wrong. But hurts of old have drained my heart. In a muzzle flash, you’re gone! ~ Thank you God, ‘twas but a dream, That same old awful one. I tell myself it’s over now, As I gaze down at the gun. ~ I wait I pray to God above That fate soon makes things right. I pray you never meet me On that awful summer night. Some men see things as they are and ask "WHY ?" I see things as they could be and ask "WHY NOT ?" |

LonelyStranger~ Oh ... very well done. Also reminded me of the dark, dark shades of Ted Bundy ... What frightening thoughts from the minds of such weirdos come to reek havoc on the innocent. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
