BlossomWitherRepeat

A Poem by Justin Flume

Roses swaying in the wind

Gone from the nothingness that must follow

Blossom Wither Repeat

 

Silently rebelling against myself

Screaming with no sound

Dying out like the cigarette in my ashtray

Gone for god knows how long

Blossom Wither Repeat

 

Repenting while I still have the option

Breaking away in endless pieces

Swept from the thoughts

Blossom Wither Repeat

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This night all shall fail

This night all shall fall

Leaving earth

An end once and for all

 

Am I skullfucked beyond repair?

Am I just not there?

 

It’s all a sea of questions to me

Letters received with promises

Of never forgetting

Months later no words are spoken

Giving up on everything but lies and deceit

 

Taking the credit

Taking the blame

 

This night I will always forget

This night I will always remember

 

And as the silence brings me just a bit of joy

I remember her laugh

The laugh that I heard not four hours ago

The laugh that I live to create

 

 

But for the last couple of weeks

It's felt dead to me 

Just like the inside of my head the last couple of years

This is great, the repetitions makes it really powerful.

I think you've come up with a succinct formula to describe death, decay and renewal - Blossom Wither Repeat - repeated like some computer command. We make our futile protests, but I really enjoyed this one.

Very cool and I can relate to this. I love this stanza the most:
"Repenting while I still have the option
Breaking away in endless pieces
Swept from the thoughts
BlossomWitherRepeat"

A SONG FULL OF RAW HONEST. Yes, blossom, wither, repeat - you recognize the cycle of life and you show your bittersweet memories in each stanza. You draw the reader in by expressing your inner emotion that many would not dare share and that is where I learn admiration. This poem is has the flow of a musician and I hear it in head, to music.

Here's a kid who's going to be very busy when he gets older. To demonstrate the potential of such a deep ken of meaning in things and yet not been able to bring then into mainstream society, must motivate you plan well for the future. Fucked beyond repair or saving for another day?

Lo-Lo-Love it. this was wonderful. I like the repetition in the last lines of every stanza. Blossom, Wither, Repeat. Wonderful. My only critisism, is there is a fairly large space between the first three stanzas and the rest of the poem. I like the concept. Wonderful piece.

I absolutely adore the title: Blossom wither repeat. like, lather rinse repeat. continuation of cleansing, or life, sanity. Ouroboros. (sp?)
