Still Fuzzy With The Focus

Thanks for the title, Mr. Business Penguin. :)

 

As the naked soul will try to tell...

 

how one story

 

sings to another,

 

I lay, written in those fields where you lie,

 

listening to the voices

 

filling the halls of the building.

 

 

My china-doll spirit sleeps

 

reminiscent to the tune

 

that once echoed through

 

my conscious memory...

 

 

I'd like to say that I know better

 

than to ask you

 

from whence you've learned that tune...

 

But the answer I recieve

 

will not be yours

 

but one that had once

 

laid down the ruins.

 

 

Falling into valleys,

 

of a different diction.

 

I swim through the air

 

of light and reason.

 

What ever happened to the light that cares?

 

How could you dictate my hearts direction?

 

 

My grief-ridden remembrance carries me,

 

across stanzas of lyrical wonders,

 

and through melodic fields of light,

I almost feel like I'm floating onward,

But I tied myself to the water line.

I let out a sigh.

 

I will wait for my row boat...

 

I will listen until the trumpets fade...

Until the light is old again.

Author's Note

I don't know what to do, except write to express the way I feel at the moment, because it seems as if expressing it in any other way comes out void. So why not try to make my sadness beautiful and productive through writing, while at the same time, help myself feel better? :)

Mean poem...had goose bumps reading this...and towards the end was reminding of a most beautiful japanese film (title forgotten-for now) where a massive flood came and the village was flooded and it was night-time and the stars burned brightly...water covered the roofs and they were in a row boat desolate but alive; maybe you've seen such film? Good write... and reason I came to your page again was I read an old posting of mine 'Tantilization' and you gave a review and said you read it outloud and it sounded like it needed to be read outloud....well, I wanted to tell you I finally read some of my poetry OUTLOUD in public and I read it along with others and the ladies went nuts! lol Goodluck keep writing!
