Eyelids looking like window blinds Thoughts keep disappearing as if they were in quicksand Forgetting more lines then I'll ever have the chance to create The pen drags itself across the paper Words flowing out for no conceivable reason The cigarette in my hand never seems to be extinguished My shackles vanish only when the pen stains the paper A voiceless apparition weaving through the sparkling people Seeing deep into their souls Knowing their emotions before they wish to share them They yearn for one another While I yearn for my tranquil surroundings My essence and the sand are both eternal Drifting from place to place My heart died long ago Maybe that is why when you read my words I can manipulate yours No need to cherish luxuries Because this life I have, has already passed Simply put I am a ghost in a shell With no need of a hell For one must have a soul first A soul I can not have For I bare the mark of Poe Tomorrow comes for those who fear it. |

I haven't decided yet if I like writing poetry... I just know that I have to. So I do. And I'm glad you do as well... you described it quite realistically. Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |

My essence and the sand are both eternal Drifting from place to place My heart died long ago Maybe that is why when you read my words I can manipulate yours No need to cherish luxuries Because this life I have, has already passed Simply put I am a ghost in a shell With no need of a hell For one must have a soul first A soul I can not have For I bare the mark of Poe You may write like him, but I believe everyone here, will say the same...we won't allow you to sink into this soul less place...we just won't hear of it...so cut it out...all right...smiles and hugs for a wonderful weekend ahead... |
