Hey y'all, a brief explanation of these works: Many times I have posted poems and some have expressed concern for my well-being as a result - while I appreciate the concern I would like to assure you that most of my stuff comes from random thoughts or wisps of inspiration and not from my daily state of mind. To demonstrate this I have posted here, a few short works, written in the same afternoon, inspired merely by the desire to describe a feeling: BLISSFUL HATE Here I sit, in an office alone. The anger I feel, I cannot condone. Although this time, is quite and still. I bathe in the bliss, of the anger I feel. My anger causes turmoil, but hatred calms my soul. I fear this anger and hate, but their essence makes me whole. I wonder at my thoughts, the strange things I feel. The ecstacy inside, and my desire to kill. HAPPY FEET Something strange has come over me. My feet tremble, my legs shake. My arms tingle, my body quakes. I think... I feel... I know... I got happy feet! VIOLENT JOY A violent rush, as anger surges. The fanatic push, of psychotic urges. The erratic jumble, as rage swells. The sickening calm, as maddness quells. The glorified burst, in sanity's last hour. The morbid bliss, as neurosis gains power. LIGHT OF TRUTH The sunrise in the morning, casts the shinning light of truth, on my love for you. The morning bird's call, trumpets the joy of my heart, for loving you. The glow of your soul's face, reflects the happiness instilled, by my love of you. Every day as I wake, I thanks the gods, for the chance to love you. Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

y'all will be the first to know... Explosive hate, rips through my mind. The need to kill, is taking its toll. The hunger for blood, and thirst for slaughter, burns in my heart, like flaming coal. Blood like fire, races throughout, igniting hatred, deep in my soul. This was when I was feeling good! lol Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |

Love your 'Snippets'..especially "Light Of Truth". Now I know what to do with the bits and pieces that didn't quite make it to paper. These are great! ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Hmm.. here we have another case of not enough people recognizing the quality of your work. Just me...giving you a boost. You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL |

Okay, I've got it! I won't take all your poems literally!--and that is a good thing when I consider the raging maniacal ones! LOL Seriously speaking, you have aptly demonstrated your versatility as a writer! Enjoyed the emotional roller coaster ride! Warm hugs, EA |
