Poem #59

"The Seeding (Part II)"


However we walk when we reach the end
The mystical messages that our mouths will send
The colors of sun are the colors of sadness
The colors of love are the colors of your eyes
We will gather forever waiting for the seeding

Seven lives spent without any change
Or seven cents spent with much of a life
Logic and order asked to rearrange
My prayer, your answer, shall never arrive
We will gather forever waiting for the seeding

The dew of the morning gathers on my cheek
From where you stand life must seem so meek
The length of my shadow is the length of your pain
So meet me at midnight, we'll stand in the rain
We will gather forever waiting for the seeding

The scars of our thoughts ride across my wrist
My answer, no question, please I insist
The voices return now, but no words are uttered
I've give up my soul if it'd mean you were flattered
We will gather forever waiting for the seeding

This road does not end, but I've found my stop
The ice in my soul melted by your brain's awful hot
No man or woman shall ever be sane
As long as they go by my middle name
We will gather forever waiting for the seeding

Loyalty and history are things to be bought
For less a dime whole wars have been fought
The end of this fight does not put my at ease
And so in the end all things will cease
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon...but down this road we've been so many times...

...

wow.

Just... wow.


Some of these.... are really deep.

'Emotionless' really struck a chord with me.


Have you ever considered writing poems as a career?

Or do you already do that?

I'm glad you like them, but there's really no money in poetry. All of the good poets these days become lyricists, and for that you'd need a singer.

And thus ends an entire thread. Lol.
Just found that kind of funny. Anyways I just skimmed through a number of these, and it all seems decent to quite good to me. Good job. :)

How the hell do you have time for these?

Anyway, If you want to make money out of rhymes, crank out some rap, that stuff sells like hot cake.

Unde sapa sapă locul, sare din pamant norocul.
Vorbeşti cu fundul lumii, de la tine din odaie.
