Midnight Philosophy

Contributed by Benny14 on Monday, 20th November 2006 @ 03:33:05 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Long has the word wrapped around your head latched onto
The notion that fear must become a broken sword
Struggling to exceed its inadequate defense of crumbling walls.
I’ll let you in on a secret of my own, listen close now, I won’t say it twice,
I can smooth the lines with little more than a change in perception.
No education could have provided me a better skill, a complication becomes
An ally.
But you, you who “speaks” to the narrator,
It’s unfair to assume this voice is correct.
Unfair to claim distance in a room so small, or worse yet, proximity across eons,
But most assuredly it is unfair to connect two or three points of light into some
Meaning of life.
I can tell you, without much knowledge or experience,
That random specks of paint don’t make a Monet,
And that all you need to keep in line is wonder in the world around you.

this was truly an awesome piece!

the only thing worse than a 'midnight philosopher' are those who hang on their every word as gospel...i think we all know a few of these as well...

nicely done

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. Â©
