taint

2006

embroidery is your means of communication

sophistry is your way at edification 

your veracity is a misrepresentation

rejection to you is manifestation 

veiling your faults in meaninglessness 

your poetics show your indecision

your own impulses have created an addiction

evasion from the truth has become your nightmare

affection turns to desolation after boredom sets in

your disconnection with happiness has always been

you float in a cycle built from the misfortune of your past

yet you wear your beauty and pride like a mask

one day your castle of fabrication will come crumbling down

and this time I wont be there to catch you 

before you hit the ground

goodbye

Wow... I like this very very much! The flow is fabulous... It feels so fast paced and driven yet at the same time flows in a coherent manner. I know so many people who can relate with this poem as well... and I know I can to a certain extent. You are very talented at reaching out to people's souls and understandings. Excellent write.

Damn... I thought I threw that diary away.. ok so I'm different now ;) I felt light at the beginning and then it took me deeper and deeper into the abyss of all the dark spots inside.. Very intense and a great write...x

THIS IS WRITTEN IN A CREATIVE WAY. I LIKE THE VOCAB. AND THERE IS TRUTH IN IT. I CAN FEEL THE RHYTHM.

Its a wonderful poem.. many of us do live these shelved lives and you know at the end you end up all being isolated...But still solitude has its own charm i must say.. great work :)

I like the description in the poem. I had to read a few times to enjoy the powerful statements. I like the directness and honest words in the poem. I like how you ended this outstanding poem.
