[hometext] => 50th submission to Ypdc, comments welcomed, thanks to everyone who reads
[bodytext] => I know a man who lives his life off of sadness All the badness he’s ever felt is vocalized and ageless He talks a clean tongue with his pity hung In shows of self loathing to which he’s so accustomed to And he sleeps in a twenty first century tomb With dusty Malibu bottles atop drawers in the room Posters of animators, tales of the noon He isn’t in a storybook but he’ll be joining them soon And my father is a man with a twinkle in his eye Living off the American lie, to which he’d stubbornly defy All anguish and pain expressed in simplistic jest is tormented, Dementedly lame, he’s got a purple heart and a mix of red and green in the veins He befriends the insanes, the lost and takes reigns Like a ring leader to those fallen apart, with a handle on their recovery cart As if divinity were his art I fell in love with a phantom Both blind and dumb, she could not see the sun And I was giving her all the rays she could ever praise, All the sunny days, I could afford, and good lord, it didn’t matter It was not what she’d been after; she wore a clinic visit veil She was so pale; I entered just to fail, into a cycle, a life and a lie I’d try, I’d loose hope, I’d learn to cope, and if ever she needed to hang You know I’d be her rope I am a concept, a visible disease, I was born to please, to appease you My writing is a literal heartbreak and a recorded history Of suicidal tendency, martyrdom and dependency I use to smile, I turned vile, I watch the news just to cry And I’ll deny the truth up and down for the world that I see I’ll kiss my enemy, entrance all visibly And in permanent text, I’ll morn sex, the lost of a spiritual world I’ve been hurled into the subconscious and to be honest, It’s anything but harmless, Jesus, get out while you still can, you’ll thank me I promise [comments] => 2 [counter] => 311 [topic] => 73 [informant] => Franciswolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
