Guest Heart Like A Hole Posted March 8, 2002 Report Posted March 8, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the second post) Porcelain is more than fine, Falcon. I've always been quite fond of your freeform, and this poem is no exception. I enjoy your powerful sense of imagery, and the last two lines are quite piercing. ~Porcelain "Heart Like a Hole"
Falcon2001 Posted March 8, 2002 Report Posted March 8, 2002 (Conversion Confusion, this is the first post) Well, due to inspiration by the talented Porcelain (Sorry dear, but Heart like a Hole is too long to type all at once, so I'll just call you Porcelain), I'm going to try another freeform poem...not going to promise much, but it'll be there. They ask Why I wear black And I laugh and tell them Some inane answer designed to keep them away but would they shrink? If they knew the truth? Of my broken promises And the lies And the hatred boiling up inside? Would they run from me And my apopleptic rage If they knew where it came from? If they knew it was directed at them And their smiles and laughs And games that they play? Strange things happen In the mind of the damned They ask me why I'm depressed And I smile and nod And reassure them I'm fine But would they care? If they knew That the depression sinks deeper Although it's not there? With claws of ice and bone That shatter my hope? Would they care If they knew that the world was as bitter as it really is? If I lifted the curtain, opened a few eyes to the blinding hate that is LIFE? Would they smile then? Or would I be joined in my misery By a few more enlightened Damned souls Stranger things have happened In the land of the blind.
