Lightning Hits The Sand

Contributed by Dri on Monday, 7th November 2005 @ 06:44:27 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



you want to make it out like it’s you
you want to believe that you want
the end of this to be like
melted glass, pooling

this is where the lightning hits the sand
refining, tearing out the grain
of imperfection
why would this mean that much to me?
didn’t expect to see…you there…
you saw me drop my jaw

this goes again
around the denial of who we’ve learned to be
you’re trying to explain a reason that you
don’t really understand
I don’t want to noise
get it out of my ears
claw out a sentence that I’ve scratched
out in metal

where am I supposed to wait?
who am I supposed to trust?
solemn and staring out in space
he says frustration but I read it
like anger and I understand
lost in an inability to care
watching the lightning hit the sand
has turned me inside out and pushed
me off the cliff where
my anxious sanity has taken to pacing

Now this is emotional poetry at its finest. Your diction and imagery are very polished and expressive, from the first lines on. I enjoyed this, and am impressed by it.
