MEANDERING Nothing of what I hear, Just half of what I see. Is this all in life I can believe? As everything once dear Is now taken from me, I must dispute by grim refute, Lest hell grant me reprieve. Donning an eerie chime, That calls me towards the Dark, The Devil lays a wondrous path for me. I never see in time Before I bear the mark, By death's disguise silence ne'er lies, Alone I stand now as a man can be. This vision quite profound, In hand the sword is drawn. But memory holds no recount of the brave. To stakes of anguish bound, Therein the vision gone A jester's crown shall weight me down, Meeting my final wave. No justice to the verse, No frivolous meandering, I'm at the point I don't really see the point. Why have I landed this curse That never yields understanding? A dirge in fact, virgin retract, Such Sweet Death surely I must anoint. ********** Cut out my eyes, I'd rather be blind Take my hearing, I really wouldn't mind. Distill my blood, be still my heart, If I can't hang on, I'll just fall apart. Nothing that I hear, nor half what I see Could ever satisfy this need created in me. If but by dark silence, that in which I grieve, I bid you nothing in this life believe! Michael Anderson It's the little things you take for granted, That'll mean the most to you when they're gone. |

micheal, i can relate all too well. it's haunting really. when you feel yourself meandering, is when you must hold on the tightest. as you have told me before in past responses, hold on to your faith, it will see you through. there are better things ahead. and you will you have a better understanding of how to accept and keep them with what you learn from prior hurts and what you might think as failures. for failures are not necessarily failures if there is a lesson learned. ok-enough rambling-don't even know if i'm on the right track. hope whatever is hurting you eases up soon. |

Michael, as always excruciatingly excellent... there is definalty "justice in the verse" and I love the impact of the line- "I'm at the point I don't really see the point. Why have I landed this curse"... its perfect and this part... "Cut out my eyes, I'd rather be blind Take my hearing, I really wouldn't mind. Distill my blood, be still my heart, If I can't hang on, I'll just fall apart. Nothing that I hear, nor half what I see Could ever satisfy this need created in me. If but by dark silence, that in which I grieve, I bid you nothing in this life believe!" pure poetry in motion...superb work... always believe...and please hang on... you have an amazing gift and talent here. take care, janet marie When you look in the mirror... Wish you were somebody else Just a perfect reflection You and no one else... Minutes run into hours Hours run into days You're still waiting for someone Who never ever came... Go and run through the hallways Find your way to the door You will end up like always Back where you were before... Then you look in the mirror Wish you were somebody else But it's still your reflection You and no one else... Guster |

Excellent. I'm in awe of your work, you have such a talent, and i'm glad that you decide to share it. Your words mean so much, sometimes even bring me to tears because I have so much in common with them. But once again, i'm breathless. **bows** Much love, One love, PEACE |

The title caught me, and the work lived up to the expectation and then some. Especially liked the parallel between the beginning and the end. jannel "I'm just saying that we've mistaken one for thousands of words, and for that mistake I've caused you such pain that I damn that word." -10000 Maniacs "Jezebel" |

Michael I adored this one, it describes me to a tee at present. I feel I am just meandering through life myself, everything good is soon taken away from me. This is superb my master  May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
