Array ( [sid] => 124638 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Metaphor [time] => 2006-08-18 22:56:00 [hometext] => [bodytext] => If I must die then earth
Is inarticulate to sing my dirge
The sorrow of a murmur-laden wave
If where I make my final birth
Sea-born winds complianing neath the sky
And round my head
The water's silver ring

For I am KING but only of a kingdom gone by

And If I must live and feel
The ashes of oblivion about my soul
Let life be fearful let life be whole

Despair but face the sunrise

And if I grieve let it be about the blistering sun
Till death or when I die

Billy .. there is a depth here that I feel not
many can reach .. (myself included)

Do you ever have a mediocre thought or
musing? I may need you to explain this
one to me .. :P though .. the way in which this
was written, (as is true with all your writes)
stirs a provocation of thought and
wonderment in me.

I can say this .. the first stanza is outstanding!

ever and always ..

My dear friend the thoughts and feelings that you make your reader feel are undescribable.
I'm sorry for I feel that I just don't have the right words to give your masterpiece all the credit that it deserves. I humbly bow before you my dear poetic king~
as always your fan~
