Stories

Words,

empty shallow, meaningless words

........................

..........................they flow delicatly across the pages of time

memories long forgotten

pointless verses and rhyme

.......................................give me some meaning!

Show me the beauty

..............

Deeper, deeper

.........................these words are thin

peeling away at them layer by layer

...................reavealing the depth and the truth

They begin gray and black

Sparks flying from the mutilated body

.............color flies

Dig and carve through the flesh and bone

open up every artery

details

precious details

............................and the evidence is burned

the truth is revealed in the ashes

4th line - "delicatly" should be "delicately"

Most readers don't grasp the meaning the writer is trying to portray because every piece is unique to the one who wrote it. We can only read and hope the poem/story speaks to us in some way.

I think you could leave out the dots in between lines, and your poem would still be just as strong. Whatever suits you, I guess. All in all, good job =]
