Willing ~ 04.10.11
My master has set me free
Stripped me of all bondage
And left me for another appeasement

There are left no more nights
No longer do I need to stay awake
On sleepless nights no matter what hour
To empty my soul of all
Unless it have something to do with her happiness

I need never tell her stories again
Never speak the names she “loved”
Never be called for at any given time
I am freed

Yet here I lay
So alone and empty of all feeling
Upon my own bed
Not even thinking
And my nights are truly sleepless

Come back Master
Bring back my chains
And bind me tightly in them once more
Without them I am a corpse
More so than I was before

Yes
Freedom and life is mine to be had
But it is empty
Like I am
And I cannot help but long for my shackles

My Master has left me
Left me to “live my own life”
To “love and be happy”
But I am simply empty

Come home to me my Master
Let me once more fill your mind with stories
And let us forget you had ever left

The night passes slowly.

Seeking the Questions ~ 04.10.11
Ask me a question
Any question at all
I don’t care what it’s about
I’ll answer anyway
There’s nothing as beautiful as the ‘dreams’ I’ve had
With clear eyes catching the drops of blood as they fall from the sky
For nothing really cries
Just an illusion we want to see for sympathy
Of course there’s nothing like a mind
With my soul flitting through its halls
But never finding the right or wrong door
Just wandering around aimlessly
Searching for what is right before its eyes or in its dreams
A thought that causes so much comfort
Enough to give it a false sense of its own accomplishments
Just a little thorn
My life in its center
So warm and yet wishing it had a blanket or someone’s arms to wrap around itself
We are all amused by the person who longs for such things
We see them as people who have less knowledge than ourselves
It has never occurred to them that they are misled
Inside ourselves it is a dream
Or possibly an image of the cold we strive to get away from
So far ahead it all seems to me
I want to catch up with the others
But it would be folly to follow such a trail
It in itself would cause a disruption
The little house glows with rage
A fear I have held of it in my mind’s dreams
Handwritten stories and thoughts of my own
A nail hit too hard in the eagerness of the one who struck it has been broken
For a pool of water
Ripples that were never there flowing along the unbreaking surface
Just like the white walls of the black room
All a piece of the darkness seen inside the light’s thin and fragile form
Not that light is a thing to dislike
Merely a thought of the beauty it holds that nothing else may copy
A strained muscle in her thoughts feels real and physical because her body cannot tell the difference
But who knows why the kite doesn’t fall or fly
Simply it is a scratch in its complete self
A pair of sails
Like the question you never asked
A thought that has kindled the thought of sadness
Of course my dear has failed to see its white dream
Simply a matter of whether or not you will ask
If you would wish to change the thought
A dream of yourself in itself has been brought to you
Will you not ask it of her or him or yourself
This is not a pearl but a gleam of the sun reflecting off of your hopes
Embrace them and the sky would be known as fallen
Little droplets falling into my sky of brown
A line thrown out to the bird of the branches of trees
A little dream in itself
To whom may my scars drift on without their glory that they’d never had
And I only go on because of you
All I want is for you to ask a question of me.

Spinnning ~ 04.11.8
It's not something you see everyday.
But it is something I've experienced before.

That feeling of wanting to smile and just close your eyes,
not caring what the world thinks of you and your opinions.

That feeling of wanting to jump up and hug someone.
Even if they'd never understand why.

That feeling of being surrounded by the world and just laughing.
Expressing to all what's inside.

It's been an image in my head for ages it seems.
The one of myself,
pictured as "the old, but perfect" age of sixteen.

And I can see myself again.
Spinning, spinning, spinning.
My arms spread to the sides,
embracing the world and all infinty in its great and vastness.

Smiling to the sky, my eyes closed.
And spinning, spinning, spinning.

Free of all bonds and boundaries.
Free of all thoughts and dreams.
Free of everything.
Everything but the freedom which has been brought down upon me.

It's not a dance.
It's not a dream.
It's my way of expressing gratitude, love, and joy,
to the world I've been born into.

It seems strange that such a small amount of people will ever be so open.
It seems sad that they'll never be as free.

I can't wait till one day,
who knows when,
I can spin forever.
And never have to stop spinning.

It's not strange, nor unusual.
When my day comes.
Those who would see it,
will see me spinning to the High songs.

I am willing.
Singing for eternity, laughing and smiling forever, and always I'll be spinning.

QUOTE (Itu @ Feb 8 2006, 04:30 PM)
Entrance
And to think we've all been left behind,
flowering fruitless in the central markings of your Mother,
flourishing endlessly in another level and others, of course.

Nameless and mindless, do not underestimate our language,
allowing images come sweep low before feet duly bathed.

Hold! the sea away!
Stay! my other contemporaries!

Without the bonds latched high onto green,
without a sample of a more foreign spite,
can severe gold bring you that clearer sunlight?

Store all Forget-Me-Nots away;
Your birth has yet to water down the over all entrancement.


Each verse works very well independantly and each elicits a particular reaction.
"Nameless and mindless, do not underestimate our language" is my favorite line in the whole poem because it juxtaposes two qualities one would not associate with reverence or respect. That, in my opinion, is the key to marvelous writing: the ability to ingeniously relate two dissimilar ideas and make the reader mull over the relation. Or something like that tongue.gif

That said, I don't think that the verses as a whole connect enduringly well. I can vaguely conjure a correlation or a story to it all, but it's a bit of a stretch. For instance, after the my favorite line, you write "images come sweep low before feet duly bathed." The jump from the two metaphors seems too jarring. maybe it's just my writing style bleeding through, but I tend to think that metaphors should blend more logically. It's one thing to speak a clear, succinct idea and evoke complex thought; it's another entirely to speak complexly and evoke confusion. That's one of my struggles as a writer.

But overall, I liked all the imagery. Good job! You'll be seeing more reviews of your work from me soon smile.gif

@CicatrizESP01: I can understand your points completely, and appreciate the review. -Chuckles- That was the subliminal message I'd tried to send through this piece.

An addiction so strong it frizzles away at any logical associations between anything. The messages are all there, they are unclear, they are improperly pieced together. Because when you've fallen so deeply into something... do you honestly care about anything but satisfying yourself with the feelings or knowledge that characterize that entrancement?

I'm not sure if I've made my point clear... but well... to put it simply, it was written to make you unsteady and confuse you. -Shrugs- Apparently... it worked. happy.gif Once again, thank you.

I Can Smile, I Will Smile ~ 04.11.12
It's been noticed
by more than myself
your fault
oh, crucial mistake

You may converse with us
our constant deficiencies
telling me, and others
to turn

Look away from those around you
speak not of our deaths
we hear and obey,
as calm, as we wish

You need not yell
you need not be silent
oh, what do we percieve
you are nothing but one other

Do not speak, do not glare
do not be silent, do not think of it
it is passed
simply acknowledge, my dear

You are but one other
and so you are expected to act
but know, I am but one other
I can smile, I will smile

You need not yell.

.::Faylyurr::. .::Failure::. ~ 04.11.12
You've been riveted
caught up in the strings
struggling has been proved
as only more painful
give up
it won't help

.::Yes it will!::.

Give up

.::No! I can get out!::.

Give up

.::NOOO!::.

...

I've been here for eons

...

You've gone in moments.

Capital Henbane ~ 04.7.23
Listen to me crawl:
fireISH..?

Ripping away all signs of sanity,
An infinite little dream..
Watching the paper fall away,
Through little tears adorned..
From a wall of fragility..
I want to seek you out,
To make the cloth close again,
While you flicker on about..

A thought I am losing,
When glowing on a flowered route..
Cares much my carpet for us,
And the little creasing crown..

A small detachable speck,
From air I cannot seem to pull out,
Without adoring you as thus..

Why can you not stop laughing?
Who is it that may speak?

A marking like a scratch on your tomb,
Were you wanting again?
A leaf falls on the wall of my ceiling..

I'm just sleeping...

She hurt the strings,
My clarity.

Yeah, I know what you mean - if you don't write for yourself and your own satisfaction, who are you writing for? An audience? Critics? That's when your art begins to suffer - when it is no longer under your control.

I guess it's just that I'm a more narrative writer, so those are the qualities I look for in most poetry. But whatever floats your boat and satisfies that thirst to create smile.gif

Bug
Sigh calm for me,
furrowed dreams,
off-set screens,
fainter, it seems.


We're folded up in a hollow thing,
a wirey screen, so it seems.

Bless our sorrows, and our inner fiend.

Actually, I haven't written a good narrative in a long while. What I mean is that most of my poetry follows more of an A-to-B-to-C progression, instead of the less story-oriented and amorphous brand of poetry. But I have been meaning to write up a few stories...just haven't gotten around to them. My attention span is nil sad.gif

-Nods- Oh yah, I noticed your poetry style right off the bat. Mine was always freeform it seems... I long ago gave up on writing it any other way. Occasionally I may write an ode or whatnot, but I'm most comfortable with letting it flow as it does.

-Laughs- I know what you mean! Attention span is fine for a while... I can go anywhere from half an hour to seven when it comes to writing. But if you stop me once then it takes bloody long to get me back on track. -Chuckles- Which is why my fics are not posted on KAF yet!

<< None of them are completed. -Sighs- laugh.gif
