I'm very tired.
But there are people that are more tired.
So I'm not tired.
I'm suffering.
But there are people that are suffering more,
and they are suffering more so I...
Very sad and beautiful. I too especially enjoyed the parts in italics.
Exile
As if in a dream
comes my father
with steps streaming sand
like a battleship
that loves and lives water,
but can only leave it waked.
From pockets so deep
Loved the dry humor!
Level up!
Haha, I really loved this.
Inside Out (jaunty songs of depression I)
Today I woke, for the third time
replete with emptiness
and turned inside out.
It had started when some time ago
my eyes had rolled back in their...
Hawkman, I agree with most of what you said and I will definitely tend to it.
Thank you for writing such a constructive comment!
Thank you so much Delta, it is much appreciated.
Guilt
And your face a conveyor belt
for streaming tears
And I a factory worker belted
to the assembly line -
overlooking the production
yet culpable by birthright, or birthwrong.
And your...
Le Dans Macabre
It takes two to tango,
and today, as tomorrow,
short of breath, I dance,
with my partner Death.
He is absolutely dreadful -
his scythe in our way,
he steps on my toes
Hehe, my intentions were anything but to impress with simple rhyme.
nonetheless, thank you for taking the time to read and comment - I'll be sure to take notice next time around.
Inside, looking outside
this room is spent,
yet the furniture relent,
to stand still
with memories intent.
outside, in the other room,
the world is
gushing with wordly-matters,
People, without sounding too hipster - there is obvious self-irony in the composed list.
jeez
Double Word.
This is Not a Poem
I have been a slave to Time
to which I own a lease
that hungrily demands rhyme
in praise of its mysteries.
But, Her - Time gave me inadvertently,
JB, I haven't been moved like this in a long time. Thank you.
Stunning poem.
JoH, Adolescent09 - thanks guys.
It is a really tragic story. During the anniversary celebration/demonstration of the social justice movement, one man - named Moshe Silman - self-immolated. He...
Thank you Bar, as always, for your kindness.
And without turning this forum into one of politics - nah, I doubt it.

Yesterday, a man
set himself on fire
having been
pushed and peddled
into a matchstick.
Today, we remember
this man and light
We
We scurried to find
the fury benign.
We left the barren shore
well-meaning for more.
For Death's sickle had battered us with time
and with time bettered us for death.
JoH,
at first i found the last line irksome - "breath" seemed to put an end to the rhythm prematurely.
but the more i thought about it the more i liked it. it provides a surprise and abrupt ending...
Thanks JoH, appreciate it!
A literary giant.
"Martian Chronicles" is one of the most humane and perceptive books I have had the good fortune to read.
