Mitch Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 [b]the desolate shatter and the open plain[/b] you held my hand through the night your palm was stern the time went on. we were there in a world of moan there was nothing? the desolate shatter and the open plain. there in the grass is where we were lain would you love me the same? there in the grass? that is where we were lain. what is despair i said to you. there was no answer you only looked ahead. and backwards and your eyes were blank. what is despair and i thought there in the grass. where we were lain. i felt your face you didn't move. you only looked ahead. you smelled like grass. you smelled like grass. what is despair? fresh cut, fresh mown? is this the desolate shatter? is this the open plain? we're lain here. there we'll be. the grass nods its tails to and back. you won't answer. your eyes are black. a man came from the shadows of night. he held something in his hand? your face reflected from it. the man was tall. he wore a hat covering his face. the shadow was over his eyes. and i ask you what is despair? the man approaches his eyes become clear. his eyes are wild. and i ask you what is despair? who was the man? why were his eyes wild? i asked you. you didn't answer. you only looked ahead. always ahead. never back. never at me. you held my hand through the night. and the man's eyes glew. in the darkness. in the open plain the desolate shatter. what was that in his hand? would it stab me, rench me, wound my core? would it injure, sever, and sore? what would it do? i said. you didn't answer. when time got to passing and the night was leaving? was leaving with soft sigh? and you were still holding me, my hand, you were still looking ahead? "mommy," i said. mommy, i said. mommy, i cried, mommy i don't like this man he's mean and looks evil. and is he going to hurt me mommy? how can you let him stand there mommy? how can you, i cried. you only stared. with those dead eyes. dead eyes.

III welcome, and twiddle dee and twiddle dum. people in clothes?their habiliments and they wander round. earning their mighty dollar, the green fiend. fill out the applications say thank you with a smile. they say they'll get back to you. a day leaves, another comes. no call. nothing. frustration? no. anticipation? no. only this thing. society. binding us all. binding me. welcome, and twiddle dee and twiddle dum. when you're hired you work it's fun. got to love it every day. when things could be so much simpler in a better way.

V sun rises and smiles and moon leaves in a smirk and the clouds come and settle and haggle round. another day has been found. VI the cigar smoking sky ashen and aflame. it coughs, smoker's cough. his lungs are black full of collected tar. from smoking. for being what you are. he smells like incense and smoke lingers by. and he puffs out clouds getting blacker with time. the cigar smoking sky has smoked since it could. surgeon general warning: smoking is hazardous. and where's the marlboro man? he's up there fine. and cigar smoking sky, soon you'll die. of lung failure of coughing as you try to breathe. everything wil blacken and ashes breathe. and surgeon general warning: it's hazardous to smoke. and ashes breathe everything will blacken will heave. we'll have to do any autopsy when you die. you coughing old guy, cigar smoking sky. VII when trying to link this and this and that and that i found none and found in some places it was fat with comparison. and that some things tie together here. these strings of words are beads these strings of words are ships fleeting on shores going to things they adore. but frustration is on the shore when they land and it's sailing us away. we're linked in some way. all these words and what they say. in some way. but i've lost what to say. and what it means. let's sail away to the shore's bay. and forget it for today.

Mimmsicle Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 [size=1][color=#800000]Reading this made my head spin... and "[/color][color=#800000][color=black]the desolate shatter and the open plain[/color]" still brings tears to my eyes.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]Your poems have lost none of their early touch, they still do their thing and do it all the same.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]I'll touch on a few of them:[/color][/size] [color=#800000][size=1]I like how you've tried new ways with your execution, like "[color=#000000][b]bloomovariesblew[/b][/color][color=#800000][b]"[/b]. It makes the reader look more at what is written, demanding attention.[/color][/size][/color] [color=#800000][size=1]As did "[color=#000000][b]swampthingman[/b][/color][color=#800000]". Though, you lost me there. Maybe because I was so fatigued, I don't know. I shall read it when I am more clear, for reference point.[/color][/size][/color] [size=1][color=#800000]"[color=black]Broken Combob[/color] I" really stands out. It is direct, powerful, straight from the source. I very much like this one *nods[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]"[color=black]II[/color]" is also close to what you created in "[color=black]I[/color]". It's got the same honesty in its deliverance. And I can also relate to it, that makes it even more appealing.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]"[color=black]IV[/color]" mirrors what it says. Short sentences, filled with what feelings that lay behind. Simply right.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]"[color=black]V[/color]"[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]This one feels very foreign, but not in a bad way - by no means... it's just that I've not seen many poems like this from you. It shows that you are versatile. It's a very serene poem.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]I'm sure I have more to say, simply not today. But feed us more, Mitch. For we are hungry souls.[/color][/size] [size=1][color=#800000]- Mimmi[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
