Pondering Splinters

Contributed by xnoybis on Thursday, 19th May 2005 @ 11:26:20 PM in AEST
Topic: oops



To brave the gauntlet
First you must enter
Stop whittling Time
And pondering splinters

The first step is heavy
The second not light
You wither already
Caving to the fight

Things came so easy
Before, at some time
That time is not now
Right here, in my prime

Traces show ends
You bend and connect
Extracting false leads
From what you inspect

So clever at times
Gift turning to crutch
Wobbling and falling
Desperation to clutch

Prop yourself silent
And exude what you've lost
I'll make it better
Envelope you in frost

Freeze and suspend
My words fall like rocks
You think you force my hand
When I move like a fox

Wow.
I think I just ruptured a coronary vessel.
This is…wow.
I love it!

Ok…feedback:
“Pondering splinters”
The notion itself is perplexing.
Your flow –impeccable!
My favourite stanza:

“Traces show ends
You bend and connect
Extracting false leads
From what you inspect”

Though provoking.

And the last stanza…is mind altering.
