Sleuth

At once, they ask, how do you do?
Oh, how I beg for you to

Disarm
Disregard

It's sweeter to view
And not to know
What we have been to

They ask, "Oh, you, what did you do?"
And please, lest fall our knives
I think of it, like dripping and the truth -
Twists my stomach like the flu

But this, it must be you.

This paced night is young
As you were, once, too
Yet it has none to retire to
Not presence, shape or youth
"No one" I'd say, "but you,"

Do you see, from where I come,
We drew with colors
We spoke with tongues

And who dare steal a picture so pure?
From a child like that, so dumb, and so young?

"No one" I'd say, "but you,"
He, who says, "Do them! As done to you!"
And this, just this, it must be you.


The youngest nights still tease me well,
I'd dig or claw at it,
until I thought I'd strike at your head

In that brief time -
My eyes hanging up for you -
In that brief time -
Spoke no words not of dull disguises,
But to say, "Do them! As done to you!"

these words seem to bring out one message to me: an eye for an eye. terrible as it may be. the flow is beautiful and imaginary, wonderful job!

I did not even understand most of the words in that poem abd the English in it confused me but nevertheless I still loved this poem and it was really good it grabbed my attention in a good way.

Great solid poem, loved the edge that it has, and it flows very well!

[Emilee Grimm]

What a great poem. I was truly awed by how easily it flowed. It kept my attention to the end, and ended with a great line. I wouldn't change a thing about it! :)
