The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Lost in delirium,

On the way down

To hell or wherever

I am to be bound.

 

Talking with myself,

The only one I can,

The rest are illusions;

So is man.

 

What can I trust

If not my mind?

Not distance or proportion,

And certainly not time.

 

Don't mind the voices

That follow you to bed,

We're not out to get you,

We're to get out of your head.

 

...

 

Things are all foggy,

Lost in the haze;

Memory is nowhere

When all is a daze.

 

 

 

------------------------

 

 

 

Look towards the window

That is not made of glass

It is water

A pool you find yourself in

Looking out

Dripping into it

You cause a ripple

Your presence felt throughout

You are within

Continuing to lose yourself

Drop by Drop

And yet there you are

 

 

 

I basically just wrote these now. The first one doesn't seem very different from a lot of things I write, and the second...well, it's probably best not to speak of the second. :D I think writing my story caused me to want to write these two. Oh well, casualties of war...

http://www.themightypen.net/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif I just noticed I mispelled delirium....why, oh why can't I edit a title? :(

 

The '...' signified an advancing in time from the main part of the poem to the last stanza...almost as if I were to have slept, and woken up to find myself hardly remembering the day before. ;)

He awoke to find her

Lying peacefully beside him

Beautiful in her innocence

Perfection trapped in time

This moment would be his forever

While her lifeless figure faded

 

 

 

I've been writing too much. I think I need to start waiting for inspiration instead of just pushing ahead all the time. But...what...do...you - think? Any gooey goodness within?

No... waiting for inspiration is the #1 cause of writer's block. You can write about anything.

 

Speaking of gooey goodness, I should write a poem about Rolos sometime. Or something like that. :D

 

This has potential, I think. It leads into a Monty Python skit beautifully.

 

"She's dead."

 

"She's resting."
