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.

You're in my library, :)

This is a wonderfully written piece delving deep into the psychological motivations of a selfish individual. You place a mirror before this face of life and vividly display to us whose image appears. Excellent!

I like the play on balance in this piece, pretty insightful, almost brooding in atmosphere...

[StarSandwich]
