of a bird's song

[caelycate]

i dream of sonnets, odes, and verses
that melt together like the fragile notes
of a bird's song

but alas, all i have are these broken fragments
choppy and clumsy together
like the water on a windy day

the bone is dry and fickle
but still i try to use it to hold up these heavy thoughts
that are insisting on crashing down around me

in a perfect world
bush would just be a plant
and peace would not just be a word but an existence
and in a perfect world
all of the half thoughts and broken dreams
would flow eloquently into something
into anything

my lips and my tongue and my mind and my fingers typing on this keyboard
would melt together like the fragile notes
of a bird's song

[caelycate]

i want to crumble you between my fingers
smell you on my hands
and spread you across my brow

i want to paint you across a canvas
and leave your colors stuck to me all day
seeping deeper into my skin
deeper than even my blood has been

i want to drink you down as if you were liquor
and let you wash away my woes

but more than anything else
i want to know,
are you even real at all?

nice poem,what is the theme of this poem ?

[caelycate]

the theme of of a bird's song is ironically, writer's block, or i guess maybe more lack of confidence. the theme of illusory is waiting to find someone who might be something, who might break down the walls you've built up around yourself, which doesn't seems to happen to often....at least to me. haha.

and peace would not just be a word but an existence
and in a perfect world
all of the half thoughts and broken dreams
would flow eloquently into something
into anything

according to my point of veiw ,I was so impressed by the line'and pease would not just be a world but an existence and in a perfect world' you have shown the reality here? is that so?
