in tearing silence

I was kinda pushed to post again... nevertheless this is a product of my own will, it takes more than that to make me do something I don't want...
Actually I wasn't going to post this [or at all put this down somewhere] as it came out that this was once more nothing but a fake image my mind put up... the situation I used to relate it to was different...
long prolog, bad poem


two dolls of plastic
holding nonsense smiles
sat and faced
their eyes confronted
telling that they were so close

tied together by a string
not of substance, but of spirit
nothing but pieces of their souls
been pulled to make the other speak

every word so warm and healing
meaningful, but yet so hollow
made them feel not quite so lonely
removed the darkness of their room
enlighted eyes to shine at the other
made their smiles look real and human
but already their eyes were staind

warmth of hearts transmitted
where there are no hearts at all
hopes brought up to crash back down
beyond was darkness, empty space

one time the string was pulled
but now word fulfilled the room
eyes remained dead and silent
ice was set where warmth had been

one doll fell down and broke apart
still no movement in the eyes
still no word of travelled the air
plastic eyes stared on right forward
no change on the other's face

may it smile against the wall

wow...i truly felt the depth of this poem when i read it custard dear. you write so beautifully well, its a real shame you put yourself down like that all the time.
your poetry is always a pleasure to read, so youre not allowed from this day on, to say that you suck y'hear?

"every word so warm and healing
meaningful, but yet so hollow
made them feel not quite so lonely
removed the darkness of their room
enlighted eyes to shine at the other
made their smiles look real and human
but already their eyes were staind"

that was both very beautiful and powerful at the same time. i can relate to this somewhat as well...lets just hope the string is NEVER pulled. and know that my smile is never fake either.
keep posting ok? *mwa*

My england is goodly- are you strudable?

I picked out the same bit as Cherish. Matey, you've got a way with your words so don't ever be discouraged from sharing them with the world. It's haunting in so many ways and brilliantly written. The imagery I'm getting from this is mindblowing. I love the concept of two dolls instead of actually using people. The inanimate objects bring so much more feeling to the piece than those that actually breathe.
The message is a powerful one but remember, the smiles do come and faces aren't stoney forever.
Thank you for posting this. I loved it to bits and really enjoyed it.

you see, apparently i can't come up with anything on my own, because once again cherish and liz have beat me to it.

but hey, they say great minds think alike.

great piece, and i'm agreeing with everything those two already said.  i'm just too lazy to retype it.
