As Silent As The Stars

Contributed by Bohemian_with_a_pen on Saturday, 22nd January 2005 @ 11:29:11 PM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse



Falling
Tumbling
(constantly cascading)
down
down
d
o
w
n
into the pit of despair
aching for your love
(yearning for your hate)
You said yourself that there is beautiful order
in addiction
(effortless seduction)
Our love was a graveyard of fleeting passions
You, trying to drown yourself in the rivers of alcohol
(The water as dark as your dreams)
Me, carving art into my human canvas
(as silent as the stars)
Us, together
(yet alone)
Slowly killing ourselves
(with an audience looking on)

There appear to be two parts to this poem; the part that was written with five minutes in mind, and the part where the words finally found meaning and kidnapped the poem for their own uses. I like the second part.

Several of your metaphors were rather aesthetically pleasing, though the dark overtones that oppressingly pervaded the poem were slightly off-putting in relativity to the imagery provided. If you had a theme or moral in mind when you were writing this, please tell me--I'm lost looking for one.

What can I say? A well very well spent 5 minutes. A great poem, very... strong, if you will.
Take care.
