Try doors closed tightly locked bolted protecting her keeping evil at bay secret songs deafly play drowning evil's hate purple tears slip slide out fear behind the eyes behind the door the lock the evil screams escape terrified lungs throat dry burning trying lights dying dark beyond the music beyond the dream the evil behind the door fighting eager to win eager to gain to lessen her to overpower to control to teach to invade to steal and mame and hack and swallow and taste and hate and leave to cry to wonder to guilt to deserve to brake to fall to try to be her before the evil entered. |

This is really oppressive. As Spitfire said, the shape of the poem already conveys this. Love it. Uta Lotharingia "Wir wollen nicht Wert und Sinn ... wir wollen Unwert und Unsinn" Raoul Hausmann |

Short phrases, short words, it all makes sense. I see this as saying we have to make many attempts and try every time. It doesn't matter how hard we try, so long as it's our hardest. I think it's great. Tell me if this is totally different from what you saw it as. Wonderful job, spit. Jeffrey |

~Jeffrey,...thank you so much for reading. But before I tell the story of this I'd like to wait for Joel to read...I have faith he's not ignoring this...but merely out of town...so to speak. Hehe. Anyway,...yeah...a constant trying. Thanks again friend...for taking the time to read. . *Peace. |

I thought I had replied to this one last night but it seems to be missing, ah well! here we go again! This one brings forth feelings of uneasyness and apprehension. Interesting indeed! Love the format too!. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Phew....left breathless from this one. Though glad I read it. The format is excellent it reads very well. Glad there were no commas. Excellent poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers "Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany Culture, alienation, boredom and despair" "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. |

Sounds like you have a great big beast hidden somewhere, not one I'd want to mess with, To keep it at bay, you must keep trying, in whatever you do. keep a chain on it, or it might get the best of you. But sometimes you can use it to do things inside. know what I mean. ues the power it posses to do good within not let it use you, in the trying you can overcome. love you kid. Joel I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
