Deadly Nightshade Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 (edited) Something sticky on my hands At my feet Where are you? I search frantically But all is black I raise my hand to my head All I feel is pain I stumble and fall Look around... Cold and sticky Blood... What did I stumble on? I stumbled on you...

Deadly Nightshade Posted February 18, 2003 Author Report Posted February 18, 2003 Is that good...or bad
Archaneus Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 Neither really. I like it, but I'm not sure how to comment further.
Peredhil Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 I like it. For me, I read it as a metaphor for a relationship. The uncertainty of not knowing where you stand with someone (being in the dark), and how we bruise ourselves with miscommunications. It's really easy to 'stumble on you' and be hurt... Good poem.
reverie Posted February 18, 2003 Report Posted February 18, 2003 i took a more literal take on it... (curse of western thought) ... i picture it more of someone waking after being knocked out, then discovering 'dead person' ...conjured for me a scene from a mystery book/movie... revery the dreamlost "aye me"(R&J, shakespear) the dream continues...
