https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHi5RfxaCCo"]YouTube - The golden boy that was swallowed by the sea- the sound of animals fighting An endless crowds of people, they walk upon this stone Where will their memory go, where did their minds come from? And I was only a child when I first looked into your eyes And saw your body rise up over the ocean We saw the golden boy bleed love onto the sand like rain While we were injecting colors into our open veins And deep beneath the water, the dead black silence crawled far away across the ocean The golden boy is swallowed by the sea And love is sometimes violent, and violence has no constraint And I can see inside you, Yes, I can feel what you think And with this knife of silver I will release your soul And throw it out into the ocean, nine million miles in a straight line In a place just like this, in a ship on the water, where no dimensions exist My hands are hitting your picture, and the image, it shifts I tear it up and scatter it over the ocean, the golden boy that was swallowed by the sea. ~
i also absolutely drool over William Shakespeare's poems. 4 years ago, i had a big book of his poems and short stories i'd read on the daily. my fav poet thus far.
I would appreciate criticism / support on my own poetry ...enjoy http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=425756
Most the post in poetry get no criticism. in a way it sucks, in another it keeps the tread clean .... just thought Id tell you..
they all seem genuinly relatable,and easy to follow,not complicated or questionable,which makes me like them. i especially liked initation and human nature. some of them seemed a bit plain. but still enjoyable thanks!
