Window Pains

Contributed by Nazmythian on Wednesday, 2nd February 2005 @ 01:48:46 PM in AEST
Topic: MiscPoems



Sometimes you see right through me
As you look out from your self
You place your hands upon me
Leave your feelings on the shelf

At times I am opaque
Only vagueness seeping through
Just like your appearance
When others look at you

I can provide security
In moments of attack
And let you look at others
With out them seeing you back

You reach out and slam me closed
Sometimes you paint me shut
Under stress I finally break
Blood flowing from the cut

I'll hold the elements at bay
In silent servitude
While you dress me up in trappings
That somehow fit your mood

I will keep you comfortable
And sheltered from the cold
You can stare intently at me
And I won't reveal a soul

Whoa, this was great! All true, but when you put it that way, it does personify a window's personality. Cheers!
*be sure and put the URL in the challenge forum so I can keep track* I'll be making a chart of who has done which challenges later on.... Nice going!

Wow! It's like a riddle. I can tell it would take several reads to comprehend better, but at times I surely felt the familiarity of it.

Seriously, a very awsome perspective!

Your words have left me breathless once again, cheri Naz... Deliciously enchanting and flawless to the very end... Lovely expressions evoke memories, and form melting sorrow... I weep. Gorgeous, Scott... absolutely gorgeous piece.

Words this beautiful and captivating should be seen and felt by all...so mote it be. I hope to gaze into your soul once more, for in your writing, your essence shines brilliantly through... All my love. Forever,

Votre fleur séduite. *Stephy*

Trent Reznor,
here's some new stuff, man.

The 3rd and 4th stanzas
really intensify the whole thing,
make it real, not just drama.

I had forgot the title entirely by the first stanza, and I was wondering who this was about . . . until I realised that it was about a window - read it back and was thoroughly impressed with the involution of the metaphor!

Excellent stuff, Naz. I see this poetry challenge has brought out the best in the participants . . .

I never knew a window to be so thought provoking and deep, lol. This was definately very interesting. I really like the perspective you chose. You made me fall in love with a window you crazy fool. Good write!

Hi Naz,

Wow, I really like this poem and your use of the window to represent your feelings regarding what I would call transparency issues. How we guard and protect our degree of exposure. I hope I haven't missed the point, as I know how you enjoy hidden meanings.

A superb poem
Willofree, Terry

Wow Scott...
I could almost forget (Like Nep, heehee) that this is about a window.
Though..I'm sure it's probably sort of about more than a window, on some level.
Anyway, this is a stunning write,
Very thought provoking.
*hugs you tight*
