Eternally Empty

I am an empty promise
A rosebud never to bloom
The cheek turned askance from a kiss
A shadow in a well-lit room.
The chill in otherwise warm weather
A pause in the heartbeat of a child
The break in the pattern of forever
A predator where life should be mild.
The symptoms of death before it strikes
A climactic page torn from a book
The run in a dancer's only pair of tights
A system ruined due to a chance it took.
The faulty step a blind man takes
A distraction in a moment of bliss
The last thrust a warrior makes
I am an empty promise.

| this poem is really intense, when you read it you feel it inside you. I am not sure what it all means- i guess that is for you. mostly, we only write poetry for ourselves, the thoughts we don't want to forget; but we also don't want to carry them around anymore. |

| This is a great write... All of these things are very much an empty promise, this is a beautiful poem, and I think that it is the PERFECT description of how an empty promise can affect those it's made to. Beautiful!! |

"I am an empty promise"... In my honest opinion, that line should be quoted for years to come. Of course the poem is extremely well written--i've grown accustomed to seeing that from you consistently. Rhyme is always solid, and the metaphors are outstandingly creative (especially "The cheek turned askance from a kiss") and deep on many levels.
Actually, I could probably quote the whole damn thing. Eve, you never cease to amaze me; just when I don't think you could possibly be any better, you floor me with something like this.

Grr. There are so many good metaphors that are twisted intentionally here, that it makes me feel your anger, via the anti-climax penned like an 'empty promise'. Clever.
Very clever - and effective.

Imagery is perhaps one of the best ways to relate both to the reader and to put your own thoughts into perspective.
I'm seeing this as an expression of irony and frustration, though chances are I'm wrong (you should good and well know, Eveh, that I'm wrong more often than I'm right ^^). And that makes it all the more intriguing. |
