Array ( [sid] => 57477 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Credits [time] => 2004-07-25 00:49:50 [hometext] => Its sad, but I can only see my life as a movie...Just an ode to the many lives I have lived and somehow survived, along with a little love letter to Dan, who represents the culmination of my life, and makes everything else worth it [bodytext] => I woke up to an intellectual puppet
I woke up alone
To the love of an electronic silhouette
In a room of my own

Held a couch hostage and made love to the cracks
A camp sense of satin
Holds a body thats beginning to relax
Morphing into my skin

Ring of fake rubies impersonates a fling
Clinging and clutching
Daring to dream, dancing with imagined gold
And the credits will roll

Swept away by a fabricated rouge
Gives way to normalcy
The death of a second rate bombshell's vogue
Becomes wifely duty

Foundation of home laid for security
Emotions left to die
No blazing name with graze Chinese marquee
So for spotlight I vie

In the dungeon's corner of mystic plain
I claim as my domain
In a web of wanderer's I found a friend
And the credits will ascend

Peace of a drug that you feel from inside
Talent I can't disclaim
A thousand reasons you give me to bestride
A ticket to tawdry fame

Conscience departs when you're four in a night
Takes four to equal one
Blessing or curse, insatiable appetite
A fornicating glutton

My open mind forgets to use discretion
But leaves an impression
As I exit my party world of pretend
The credits denote the end

I purge my mind and body members deaden
Wipe my heart and soul clean
Accept God's will for me at Armageddon
But still fear the unseen

A respectable job in a comely way
At least thats how it shows
Disolving away in monotonous decay
Knowing that He knows

Too weak, I can't resist a mixture of charm
My service runs lukewarm
Forgiveness for my worthless carcass I pray
And the credits will play

Invented a man, expectation supreme
That no one could achieve
Contradictory and given to extreme
Faith fades, leaves me to grieve

Rediscovering my power to create
I willed his existence
Flawless match to my psychological state
Worthy of my credence

Eternity's touch sprinkles our entity
I found identity
Before the credits dare threaten my mind
I stop and press rewind

For all of my lives, you're the only one I would retain
And if you were a song, I'd play you all over again

I don't really like to gawp, so I'll just cover my mouth with my hand and mumble something generally incoherent about how good I think this is.

How on earth could I have missed this!!!!!! I'm sitting here foolishly bemoaning the fact that I miss your poetry - and here - this was waiting for me all along!

I echo all of the previous comments. I'm completely stymied by this. There is soooo much here, I wouldn't begin to know where to comment specifically. You had me from the very beginning and keep me rapt until the very end. Terrific word choice, even better expression and... but most amazing is the 'you' that you stuffed into this.

Absolutely, totally amazed by you,
SNM
