Futile Pulp Fiction

22/3/13 There are no words to match the complexities of the mind, the heart.. The beauty and ugliness that exist in the world. We can only attempt to convey our reality

Wicked,
Against my ear these words drown in a pool
Of futile pulp fiction.

A dream of dragons,
Souring sovereign
While we rest as dampened candles
Haunts the vacant path I tread.

Clouds are forever afar,
A dread to us all,
Who yearn for shaken shackles and explosive blossomed tongues.

Confined by a crib,
Now by taunting chalk like gasoline,
We've wandered at an empty horizon.

Fantasy,
We beckon thee,
Can't I leap off the page?

Incineration,
Desolation,
There is no word for rage.

Compassion greets me with a glare
As a shadow of a smile.
No breath like clapping thunder leaks
From our frail lips.

A harmonic truthful paradox,
I'll never convey

A true beauty in verse, concept and expression. With such depth in the words, the meaning seems so much admirable. With flow in verse, Subtlety in meaning, beauty in expression, and passion in the writing, no doubt, this poem is majestic.

Your originality is breathtaking- "a harmonic truthful paradox," like the choreographic works of Pina Bausch. Keep it up!

[Ohhhwillow]

Wow, thank you, breathtaking is certainly something I never considered myself as capable of writing! I will!
