Array ( [sid] => 136863 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => For Once...I'd Rather Not Be Blunt [time] => 2007-08-20 13:59:24 [hometext] => Just a song I wrote around Valentine's day, I'm happily doing much better than when I wrote this! [bodytext] => "For Once...I'd Rather Not Be Blunt"

I'm not sure if I can take
a day under the Fletcher's sky again
When all the dancing lights come out
and ignore my begging them to leave

'Cause all September ever brings
are winds that freeze the cherry trees
I wonder, should I cut them down
and spill their life upon the ground?

I can't believe I still believe in this

So follow these words if you understand
I wonder can you see the master plan?
So as the curtain falls, the stage turns black
And it leads us here, to this selfish act

Sapphire eyes are on my mind
Still glittering like the star-filled sky
And I kinda wish that I could make them fade away like life

I can't believe I still believe in this

So follow these words if you understand
I wonder can you see the master plan?
So as the curtain falls, the stage turns black
And it leads us here, to this selfish act

I'll take these picture frames, where all my flaws are saved
I'll cling to them and walk into the crashing waves
I'll look like a cross face down when you rush to me
And when you call out, my voice will be the sea [comments] => 2 [counter] => 239 [topic] => 36 [informant] => asthenia [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Asthenia,
I'm glad you're still around as well. Glad you were able to share this with us. I really dug the last stanza. Suicide is such a cruel thing, but I have been there in my mind, so I know how it is to feel hopeless. I've two children that keep me surviving every day. I also gain much power from nature and Mother Earth. Good write.
Much peace,
Laura

Hello (sorry to use your poem as a forum, but, meh)
I'm not here to crit, babybones. To wit:

Gpax you are a piece of *****. I think you must have sex with animals. I cannot tell whether you are male or female from your photograph. I am sure, then, that you have both a penis and a vagina--Why don't you go f.uck yourself? nobody else will touch you. You wipe your ass with bread then make toast for breakfast--sh.iteater. Fu.ck you. Eat *****. Die of cancer.

I asked you delete my account weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks ago. You have done nothing.

Do something.

Any mod, any illiterate, b-grade, *****.ing moron moderator will do.

Do it now.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
