NEVER AGAIN! < !signature-->Manifested to perfection, Tempered in darkness and dejection, The sweetest adulterate inflection Of velvet truths, of scarlet lies. On the border of dream and vison, Sought to suffer by decision, Bought and buried in derision Ripping to shreds all ties. In the kiss and in the crises, Adorned to such flagrant vises, Scorned and mourned by compromises, Forever caged in shame. Pledge me never again allegiance, Dispose of pride and deny credence. In the future, the past, the pretense, Never again speak my name! Michael Anderson For all behind was dark and drear, And all before was night and fear. How many hours of night or day In those suspended pangs I lay, I could not tell; I scarcely knew If this were human breath I drew.

This was absolutely wonderful Michael...so beautiful with it's gothic feel and heavy expression. A master of tongue you are...I could only dream of writing in such a way.

Michael- As always, STUNNING my dear! This one had a little more anger and edge than some of your other pieces...that's not a bad thing k LOL. I especially liked the last line! As always, I read your work with complete honor. Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Aye my liege, master of sword and tongue, with a poet's heart.. well done as always Michael 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) |

at the risk of sounding a little twisted, i loved the anger expressed in this. it kind of revives the soul to get angry, constructively. i only wish i could express it in the manner that you do. very well done, like always. i love too much, and not enough. |

On the border of dream and vison, Sought to suffer by decision, Bought and buried in derision Ripping to shreds all ties. In the kiss and in the crises, Adorned to such flagrant vises, Scorned and mourned by compromises, Forever caged in shame. ------------- this one has a sharp egde to it M, excellent rhyme and building pace as you read it... perfect choice of words... as always, awed by you, jm Now for me some words come easy But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch You never knew what I loved in you I don't know what you loved in me Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be jackson browne |

Uh...wow! I think I'll just tiptoe out of here, and simply say "well done sir!" No mention of your name, see?  Geesh, does this mean I can't email you? LOL |

Nice rhyme and rhythm, Michael. Perfect for the darker side. The pain is evident. |

WOW! WOW! WOW! can i just say how much i admire poets who can write so beautifully and say so much and still confine it all to rhyme and meter and yet it doesn't seem confined at all!!! (did that make any sense?) i love this! absolutely masterful. so much pain, so much loss, and so much anger and bitterness. WOW! |

From one who has felt the burns of love and loss, excellent verse. I can understand these feelings all too well. "You never have to worry...Never fear for I am near" |

darkness is yours. you seem to master these words. and a very interesting rhyme style. 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" |

demonic angel, well you can never go wrong with Dark and Mysterious...quite the potent combination there. Angel, that's quite a compliment, a humble thank you. Amy, there was much bitterness in this one - yes. A good way to release it if nothing else. serenity, I have a smiley one coming just for you, promise. Kim, Glad to have you walkin next to me. danni, LOL @ twisted. Well, I must "twist" off a lot me thinks. So glad you enjoyed this one. Femme, try to imagine I wrote this one to my mother...LOL My pen of emotion leaks from many many sources. Aiden, that made perfect sense...thank you. Wolf's Mate - so glad to see you here... I am only sad to know you relate so well to these feelings  I hope you will hang out with us a little, that's what the Dark room is for ya know?Jannel, I honestly think Darkness becomes me at times. Thank you all for the kind replies. Michael |
