Silent Speculation & Sleep Lines

[skyfire]

Silent Speculation

You called me crazy
but that's the way i sound
at three in the morning
when i've had too much to drink
and i'm half-way between my world
and the real world
and i feel misunderstood

I'm a puzzle
and if you could find all my pieces
and put me back together
i could love you
but i'm afraid one of the corners
got kicked under the bed
and some of the blue pieces
that would have made up the sky
were glued to a child's picture frame

And the tree outside my window
looks like a Monet
all the lines softened by the rain
and the colors muddled by the clouds
and you're wondering what i'm staring at
but i cant explain art

And in silent speculation
i relfect on your invasion
and i breathe a little softer
as my mind dances
from dream to dream

Sleep Lines

And the world keeps turning
as i stare at the wall
but the world is oblivious to me
and you know it's true
cuz when i sleep the birds will chirp
and when i wake
the stars say hello
but i'm just a little backwards

And i dont mean to laugh
when you're mad
but the look on your face
as you crawled into bed
made me nervous
so i had to laugh
but i'm just a little insensitive

And the voices in my head
are saying, "go back to sleep"
but i dont think i can
cuz it's still dark
and you're still here
and i cant close my eyes when you're here
i'm afraid you'll leave when i cant see
but i'm just a little paranoid

And i can feel the world turning
as i stare at the wall
it wants me to sleep
and i know it's true
cuz the birds fly south for the winter
and when i wake
i will tell you hello
but now i'm just a little exhausted...

Such great flow that you have, and I really love the abnormal psychology overtones. Thanks for sharing these and I look forward to more from you.

I liked "Silent Speculation" most out of the two...I like your "voice", and the realism, and honesty...keep writing...

[saffronfrancisburnet]

hi there
two lovely pieces to poetry here

i love the way nature encloses you
and how you long to be you .......

love n peace from saff

ps all is never lost of forgot
just hidden while we find ourselves
to grow from one idea is the only way ;
our aim our desire to belong
with choices along our paths.......
but beware the self is cruel yet true enough
for you............


for you .........

Hi Skyfire, Devon Knight here! ")
I'm using Icurus now, couldn't get back on
with my name, so!??, but it's me!!, glad to see
you here, so long a time to not speak to one another,
very happy to see some veterans around, I liked both
these, and don't get mad/discouraged, but I think you
could, and have done better, lots of emotion in these,
I, myself have tried eliminating alot of the (in between words)
that read more like a letter, then a more mindful, mistical approach
to the words from the heart, I liked the the part in which you
describe the tree and how the water thru window gives it
it's, icing per say, hope you stick around a long time ")
take care,
Devon Knight / "Icurus" as in "The flight of Icarus" great story/book,
you'll notice I had to spell it wrong, oh well!
peace!!!!!!
