Silent Speculation You called me crazy but that's the way i sound at three in the morning when i've had too much to drink and i'm half-way between my world and the real world and i feel misunderstood I'm a puzzle and if you could find all my pieces and put me back together i could love you but i'm afraid one of the corners got kicked under the bed and some of the blue pieces that would have made up the sky were glued to a child's picture frame And the tree outside my window looks like a Monet all the lines softened by the rain and the colors muddled by the clouds and you're wondering what i'm staring at but i cant explain art And in silent speculation i relfect on your invasion and i breathe a little softer as my mind dances from dream to dream _________ Sleep Lines And the world keeps turning as i stare at the wall but the world is oblivious to me and you know it's true cuz when i sleep the birds will chirp and when i wake the stars say hello but i'm just a little backwards And i dont mean to laugh when you're mad but the look on your face as you crawled into bed made me nervous so i had to laugh but i'm just a little insensitive And the voices in my head are saying, "go back to sleep" but i dont think i can cuz it's still dark and you're still here and i cant close my eyes when you're here i'm afraid you'll leave when i cant see but i'm just a little paranoid And i can feel the world turning as i stare at the wall it wants me to sleep and i know it's true cuz the birds fly south for the winter and when i wake i will tell you hello but now i'm just a little exhausted...
hey...haven't written or posted nething in a while...so i hope you enjoy these...and sorry if you dont!
Such great flow that you have, and I really love the abnormal psychology overtones. Thanks for sharing these and I look forward to more from you.
I liked "Silent Speculation" most out of the two...I like your "voice", and the realism, and honesty...keep writing...
hi there two lovely pieces to poetry here i love the way nature encloses you and how you long to be you ....... love n peace from saff ps all is never lost of forgot just hidden while we find ourselves to grow from one idea is the only way ; our aim our desire to belong with choices along our paths....... but beware the self is cruel yet true enough for you............ for you .........
Hi Skyfire, Devon Knight here! ") I'm using Icurus now, couldn't get back on with my name, so!??, but it's me!!, glad to see you here, so long a time to not speak to one another, very happy to see some veterans around, I liked both these, and don't get mad/discouraged, but I think you could, and have done better, lots of emotion in these, I, myself have tried eliminating alot of the (in between words) that read more like a letter, then a more mindful, mistical approach to the words from the heart, I liked the the part in which you describe the tree and how the water thru window gives it it's, icing per say, hope you stick around a long time ") take care, Devon Knight / "Icurus" as in "The flight of Icarus" great story/book, you'll notice I had to spell it wrong, oh well! peace!!!!!!
