Description
They come and go without warning lucid moments
Crystal clear as icy water tingling thoughts regrets
Then gone like the wind on a hot summers day
Leaving you looking into the void, lost and alone
Now you stand staring into the blazing hot sun
Wondering if all you believe is undone.
Do you remember how it was...before now
Could it be again if we tried.
It all went wickedly twisted somehow
Or has the illusion morphed into a lie?
While childhood reigned supreme in our lives
They studied us well as they sharpened their knives
Taught us to pray, showed us what was wrong what right
Frightened us senseless, made us afraid of the night
Our feelings we've hidden so safetly away,
Never again seeing the bright light of day.
Do you remember how it was...before now
Could it be again if we tried.
It all went wickedly twisted somehow
Or has the illusion morphed into a lie?
Wait until you grow to a man they used to say
Pushing aside childish dreams no more play
They made the rules enslaved youthful minds
Seeing the world through rose-colored blinds
Sweat-stained eyes viewing plexiglass skies
Cracked broken backs... petrified minds.
Do you remember how it was...before now
Could it be again if we tried.
Or has the illusion morphed into the lie?

WOW! I'm not sure which impresses me more the image or the words! Both are very good and deep! Thought provoking to say the least

Yes really it went wikedly twisted somewhere on the long road for sure. this guy looks like he went through hell-or maybe he took some big potion of LSD and is on a horror-trip now. i had to add this one to my favs,the expression is priceless,and the story reminds me of mi wicked childhood.brilliant work alltogether..

Oh S.. this poem needed no image to accompany it. It is so ... overwhelming for lack of a better word. It speaks so well to my present circumstance that it is frightening as I am finally forced to take up the role of a parent to my parents... to have to deal with an adult who is now a child, and will never grow up. The image speaks to an inner torment that I wonder will it ever go away?

You know Seth. The black of our heart, arises like the love unconditional with the savour of large the Loves. The indifference of some us endoctrine of our goodnesses. One should not be afraid on this black side. They brings wisdoms of large in love to us. Us to view with the heart It is us to give again savours and to let to us live our emotions we who want to live our passions in a glance if not black ((5++)) Tu sais Seth . Le noir de notre coeur ,ressort comme de l'amour inconditionnelle avec la saveur des grand Amours . L'indifférence de certains nous endoctrine de nos bontées . . Il ne faut pas avoir peur de ce côté noir . Ils nous apporte les sagesses des grand amoureux . Nous visionner avec le coeur c'est nous redonner saveurs et nous laisser vivre de nos émotions nous qui voulons vivre de nos passions en un regard sinon noir ((5++))
