Emerald Disposition

The truth hurts - a honest understatement

Treachery tickles me,
Though it's not mine to feel.
In a looking-glass I conceal your red tape murder,
And the reflection of emerald disposition.

Paradox prevails in your morality.

A crystal skull lying in the lap of it's lovers bones
Is fateful at best
To the wicked that rest
With ears held on by adhesive only.

Truth is the tale not told at birth,
Caressed in corpses
For it's painful worth
That's sceptre held a flame of fallen embers.

Your layers pave a broken path,
A masochistic aftermath
With means to a plunge of distortion.

Cruel remorse is a gift when secrets go unmade -
An honest story steals the day ahead with a hurricane.

Rain is forecast by a torched stomach
And the stars stay veiled
By flinching remains of your lustful lullaby
That reassigns the map I made,
Once upon a time

A poet who simply writes what is in her mind doesn't write rusty. Although, there is the saying "you rest,you rust". But it doesn't really apply in all situations.

Coming to the poem itself, the portrayal of truth as such a tragedy is well understood. Though in my view, it's not only truth being said but about reality itself being a painful mystery compared to fiction. Though, that view was only made by my understanding and own realizations. I don't really know if you meant it. Also your imagery and symbolism is quite exquisite, it took me a while to completely understand this poem.

I can sympathize a lot about the message on truth portrayed in this poem, but through different realizations and experiences. I find this magnificent in its meaning and beautiful in its abstract imagery. Wonderful piece.

That is exactly what I was trying to portray, I'm glad you grasped it clearly! And I'm sure you can tell by my inability to write realistically, instead playing with things in a fantastical style, that I find reality much harder to capture. Thanks for reading

[quinfinn]

this is amazing. some of the phrases and lines in this are so unique and resonant that i can scarcely imagine how you came up with all these clever metaphors, and laced them together so skilfully. i am very impressed!
