Upon request....
Morning Glow © 2002 Night-jacked thoughts Pumped, racing Depriving, detrimental 1000k a second Never stopping Never leading To the sweet haze Of oblivious dreams. Well, who needs sleep? Am I mortal or Godlike? The hallucinations Explain clearly That I am meant for Death... But the visions Extoll powers Of the eternal mind. Sugar-coated poison Promising numbness Delivering haze. After the sweet oblique Blackness fades, I am refreshed I am reborn, Glowing with life Unforgotten. Aren't you sorry you asked? :angel: |

Nope /
-*The arrogantly presented lesson for the public begins*- It´s a funny thing with words really, They aren´t comparable as such, Not in any way that paintings & drawings are / And it´s ironic really , How certain poems are respected & valued (eg. - The Raven-), Only because they touch the masses of the common people with their subjects, (eg. The Raven - Death - ) "For it is the inner meaning in ones life, "How the poem touches someone" "eg, Tells something that concerns ones life deeply or even subconsciously", That creates the respect as such for a poem /- And naturally, This is why poems are less regarded, when compared with pictures & paintings, For it´s often only about looks in their case - -*The arrogantly presented lesson for the public ends*- It´s good that you posted it, And I personally like it quite much (Though I visited the dictionary times five ) /- If you get enough will to do so, Then yes, please post more /- |

LOL
I'm laughing so hard right now. I love the public lecture, arrogantly presented or not. It was a nice way to say, "Just because people don't like it doesn't mean it's not good." Therein lies the reason my poetry is so God-awful. I like pretty words, but that doesn't mean the poem makes sense on first glance. Thank you for encouraging me, though I truly feel sorry for everyone else. :angel: |

Why? It's a very good written half-poem. Half, because the sentences don't rhyme.

Rhyming & poetry are different areas /- Actually, Poems that rhyme, rhyming, Is only the most common way of writing poems, But it isn´t a necessity /- |

rhyming or not, but the mood captured within these words really attracted me!
when i was younger, i used to listen to heavy metal - to be precise to a subcategory called "doom metal". there were groups like "anathema", "my dying bride" or "tiamat" which had similar texts for lyrics, and i liked them alot! actually, i still like the music of these bands, and that's may be why i feel so familiar about your poem! there's something mystical and profound to it. perhaps you will laugh on me because of this statement, but anyways - these words are impressive! |

I write lyrics, too.
Not "doom metal," but closer to A Perfect Circle. I've been told I sound like a female Maynard James Keenan. Only not nearly as good! |

Don't make Black angel angry, especially not at me! *scary*
Anyway, voices are invisible, so how could I show it in any case? :angel: |

Don't worry, he won't ecape me. :evil: :angel: You'll have nothing to worry, too.
I think you can record a short fragment of your voice, around 10-15 seconds, and attach it here as a WAV file. |
