Question...

[anirbas]

Poetry shouldn't be dark or unhappy
more than one reader
has been known to say.
What of Poe? Shakespeare?
Or Edna St. Vincent Millay?
Would you build a burning pyre,
to set their words afire?
Poetry, should be a mirror.
A reflection of life's,
worst and best;
every type of human quest;
all the colors of diversity
and range of emotion,
contained therein.
Not a paltry,
pie-thin,
knife created slice!
I want it all on my plate,
without abate!
For without the contrast,
of the cursed darkness,
how would one know
when one saw the light?
That is my question...

sometimes the rose is red and of that you can just count on,
sometimes someone has reached their nearest end,
they cut and bleed just like a fountain...in a certain way...
the butterfly drinks from both at times....

i have never unleashed "my darkness"...it will be a ride..

You cannot unleash a ride, already ridden...You can only access it's visuals, in your mind...*gigglegiggle*...Or some such philosophical rot...Darkness isn't darkness...
It's just a useless label for lightness, turned upside down...It's all good...Nir.

Sabs, what I love about u lady is that u tell it like it is. Great rant of a poem. Vixen

[anirbas]

Thanks gobs, Vixen. ;D
But, I think I tell it like I see "it"...
Not neccessarily the way "it" is...LOL...
Just like everyone that is both blessed and cursed
to be a so called or self professed poet...ggglgggl...But, yes?
