Orbital Part I: Extremity

Contributed by trixxx on Thursday, 6th March 2008 @ 10:06:48 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



Indulgent excess wears its guise;
The joker's face, the veiled tear
The mistress wears her shroud and mourns
The death of abstract meaning
The birth of fear

Pursuit of parasitic paradox
She grieves and hovers, wanton ghost
Dictating purposes to a reality
Void of grip, rotating
In a mass of gluttony, lost

Bewildered by the preacher in my ear
And in my eye, grinning temptation
The black widowed concubine stares
The spinning world polarizes
...I dream of starvation

Hunger... its paranoid price
Victim to familiar choice
Inevitable indecision
The hypocrite hatches within my head
Enigma has a voice

Judgment seems so vivid
Envious and broken,
I cower in my sacred hole
Clutching at my phantom pride,
Imperious token

Jealous, worn, consumed
The succubus smothers me now
Taunted by absent meaning,
The wait is long, so long
Darkness surrounds me now.

Huh, surprised this has zero comments. Weird. Well it's got one now!

I didn't quite completely understand it but I often enjoy being taunted with the confusion in my brain about reading something because the read is still genuinely good. That last stanza....eerie!!!

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. ©
