Poems and a Small nb
I couldn't sleep last night because my mind was on overdrive. Normally this is a terrible thing because my mind is not very nice. BUT last night he was being (dare I say it) kinda creative (*sigh of relief at not being attacked for using this word...yet!*) and everytime I shut my eyes words would fall from the ceiling and hit me. I wrote a few of them down to stop the flow. They're all works in progress but I was wondering (as ya do) if anybody felt like poking them a bit for me (unless you're all watching StarWars, which is vital to your life). *clears throat* Here goes:
I am in a lot of pain.
My eyes are too weary to weep,
But outside
The clouds cry for me.
Purple bruises cover the sky,
Bathed in the cool moonlight.
I sigh, stars falling.
The night ticks by and I
Wait for the sun to shine again.
It is already tomorrow
But I know the past is late.
(That was the first one I wrote. Personally I think it's rubbish except for the last two lines, but they don't seem to make sense anymore. They did last night. I like the "illiteration" in the first four lines, but I think the content is rubbish. Thoughts please!)
Fractured bubbles lie broken at her feet.
If the world were an orange...
But the world is not an orange.
A cloud of mist descends.
A face sticks out. Shining.
Shattered thoughts drift incoherant.
Youth lingers one more day.
A pause. Lightning.
Youth dies hard when you're young with feeling.
I would never desert you.
No matter what hellhole you decide to place your thoughts in.
The children are screaming.
I watch you sleeping,
Apparently peaceful
Though conflict rages behind closed eyes.
(I don't know what to say about that one. It's nowhere near finished but there are some aspects which I like - the phrase "Youth dies hard when you're young with feeling" has been floating round my head a few weeks now and I like it. I'm not sure if I put it in the right place though? Thought please?)
The hole is deep.
The child is sinking.
A feather flutters in the wind.
The world is dark.
The child is sleeping.
Fear caresses a lonely sod.
Love runs as tears drip.
A daisy falls, beaten.
The world was too strong.
Life was too much to take.
(Yeah. I don't know. If you have any thoughts could you just tell me what's good, what's bad? So I didn't stay up all night in vain.)
I'm not romantic.
I'm young and I'm foolish.
You call me cute.
I call me plain.
K's not for Knitting.
Life won't be endless.
P is for Parrots.
U is for Rain.
(I might be onto something there but I don't know what. I'm very tired now. Maybe I should eat some breakfast...)

I just want to apologise to anybody who read the "I'm Sorry" post. It was wrong of me to write it and I hope nobody read it. Hugs and smiles. Emmie

Loving everything you wrote. Completely and honestly. It was beautiful. Hugs xxx
Echoing the sentiments above, wonderful words of wisdom, better that that bother Blake...
Now thats some nifty alliteration...
Hahaha. You're both filthy liars but thank you. I'm very flattered. But really, please, real thoughts? Maybe?
Hey I read the 'I'm Sorry' post and wrote a comment and then managed to confuse myself into not posting it.
I hope you're OK and I send many virtual hugs and happy thoughts.
And the poems are brilliant. I especially like the imagery of 'Purple bruises cover the sky' and 'the world is not an orange'.
Also, well done for being brave enough to share them.
I'm really not the person to ask for opinions on poetry.
I never did get the hang of all this metaphorical... english... stuff. *Is still amazed at how I got an A in English Literature*
But they seem pretty good.
Only an A Dave?! :P
*through gritted teeth*
Yes.... only an A... >:(
And I was darn proud damn it! Darn proud!!
