[hometext] => Of life...of love...letting things slip from your grasp...
[bodytext] => Expansion is built on a promise never kept
whispers of forever ride the current that swept
Poetically speaking; the bridge still burns
warily seeking is the lusting that yearns
And now we know where the dreams went to die!
They were promised awake by a web of lies!
Famously swallowed in that glorious quake
a white rose is dropped at the lovers' lone wake
Crumbling of the sky; all ashen and grey
howling at the moon, but not falling prey
But, oh! How mightily the tables have turned!
Study with haste the lessons you've learned!
Daring to lick at the flames on this fiery night
with gasoline and match, the pyro takes flight
Wounds mistreated; bandaged for a cure-
now infected lesions, with scarring to endure
And, oh! How you've realized a little too late!
The thing you didn't recognize, was clearly your fate!
Jumping ship long before the shore was reached
caught in the safety net, you were securely breached
Busy shaking his fist at the misfortunes he received
his opportunity came and went for his heart to be freed
Now look back with shame at what you've missed!
You'll find this time, you've been categorically dismissed.

Expansion is built on a promise never kept

Well done, Scorp

Wow.
This piece is rather powerful.
Emphasised strongly and expressed with firmness and flair.
You begin, heavily with purpose and figurative language.
"Expansion is built on a promise never kept"
"And now we know where the dreams went to die!"
Wow. that line just blows me away with its great capacity and strength, of metaphoric value.
Many of the lines, feel as if expressed with turmoil.
"But, oh! How mightily the tables have turned!
Study with haste the lessons you've learned!"
--This although suggests hope...
And i must agree, entirely.
There is always something to be learned from...regardless of the type of experience.
"Wounds mistreated; bandaged for a cure-
now infected lesions, with scarring to endure"
I particularly enjoyed these lines, although painful to read...
The content and rhyme is just flawless, here.
The last two lines, i feel are the most energetic and simultaneously reflective.
Gosh i could sit for hours and ponder, from every aspect, how these lines could be perfectly interpreted.
A stunning write. |

Fantastic couplet at the end there Scorp~
it's all about karma isn't it:
brushing off an old cliche
"what comes around, goes around"
An ode to ignorance..AND contrition.. these words.
Great work, as always-
Billy

What a dose of insight elegantly penned. I wonder how much flesh does it take to make a 'pound of cure?'
By this piece every ounce in order to prevent wasted talents and mis-applied abilities.
Brilliant

And now we know where the dreams went to die!
They were promised awake by a web of lies!
But, oh! How mightily the tables have turned!
Study with haste the lessons you've learned!
And, oh! How you've realized a little too late!
The thing you didn't recognize, was clearly your fate!
Now look back with shame at what you've missed!
You'll find this time, you've been categorically dismissed.
the whole poem is perfectly laid out, everything about it is beautifully done, i just had to see what these inner lines looked like together, i'm delighted! ~the poem within a poem thing always fascinates me, what was the poet thinking, what was the initial design, ...it is exquisitely exquisite!!!!!!!!
hugs n' love nessa
