Spectrum

Magnify, petrify, rectify.......why?

 

Icy words splattered

 

as the rabbit punches rain

 

You watched and you learned

 

Now your habits are routine

 

Paralysis of the heart

 

is your obvious forte'

 

Drowned in a spell like

 

Ophelia's nightmare

 

Revived thereafter

 

with electric jolts

 

The breath returns as

 

blue fades into pink

 

and life is sucked back in

 

Until the next time 

 

the high wears off

 

and the infamous mind

 

plays the game once again

 

And like fortune's fool

 

the weak and naive

 

is drowning there under the bridge

Author's Note

The darker sides of love.......the push and the pull, the yes and the no, the "I want you" and "I hate you...." When the pain is too much, one feels as if they are drowning......much like Hamlet's, Ophelia, must've felt. But, when hope is renewed, life is restored, thus the "blue fades and the "pink" returns..........(death and breath)....

a perfect Love consists of all colors...pink can burden breath if ignored

I like the style and brevity in your words, enough is enough... you end on a note of realistic acceptance...hopefully you are not the fool

Peace, R

Enjoyed these words here!
This is quite the brillant write here.
I like this, it's meaningful and powerful.

With the broadest strokes of the spectrum to journey us into the depth of despair... and like Ophelia, the darkness becomes overwhelming... then bring us back.. filling the canvass with hope. Powerful write.

I got stuck on thoughts of passion and patience one day. I could explain how intertwined they were in my mind and the poem wandered off before I could get it out. I'm a little closer to knowing what I didn't know that day though . . . and your words here are a little part of that.

Before the note it was a story of chemical addiction and overdose. After the note it became a story of love, a chemical addiction and overdose. I am not qualified to criticize, but I enjoyed the dark side of love, for a change.
Thank you.

this is difficult...some of the images and statements are explosive...it seems you are taking us through the tunnel of a dark experience, nebulous and abandoned...

[Brokensoul]

There is powerful use of words and imagery . However, I didn't quite follow the message behind the write. Could you add a note at the end?
