Living without living, boundaried by mind
Distant son of Adam, you will not dwell in Eden
From serpent's whisper poison leaks into the very soul

The daily bread is daily bland, life's palette is immune
To anything but bitterness, the sweet is now the sour
Submission like the nettle wrapped around the bud of youth
The sap bled out, no flower blooms now barren is the field

Blue ocean is a nothing void where sanctuary has drowned
Free spirit drifted out to sea with passings of the tide
Now you are owned, commanded, subjugated, shackled down
Where once was master, now is whore to the whim of destiny

I see the rolling grassy plains, you see the gorse's spines
Those mountain peaks I spy as jewels to you are sharpened teeth
As grain is ground, so too is will, ambition swiftly culled
Your world has crumbled into dust, but only in your eyes [comments] => 4 [counter] => 203 [topic] => 48 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Blind in Utopia,imprisoned without wall
Living without living, boundaried by mind
Distant son of Adam, you will not dwell in Eden
From serpent's whisper poison leaks into the very soul

The daily bread is daily bland, life's palette is immune
To anything but bitterness, the sweet is now the sour
Submission like the nettle wrapped around the bud of youth
The sap bled out, no flower blooms now barren is the field

Blue ocean is a nothing void where sanctuary has drowned
Free spirit drifted out to sea with passings of the tide
Now you are owned, commanded, subjugated, shackled down
Where once was master, now is whore to the whim of destiny

I see the rolling grassy plains, you see the gorse's spines
Those mountain peaks I spy as jewels to you are sharpened teeth
As grain is ground, so too is will, ambition swiftly culled
Your world has crumbled into dust, but only in your eyes

My friend you captured many of my thoughts within this beautiful poem. It is so sad that in these hard times people do not pull together and appreciate the gifts that money wont buy.

Yes our world is full of woe and troubles right now, people losing jobs, homes, low on funds.
But ya know what? I can find a meadow, a pond full of wild life with trees and calm right in the middle of an asphalt covered city with to many cars. We must look to find out beauty and it is so very much there!

That all being said, sorry for the ramble, I loved this poem. I cannot pick a favorite part, entire write is full of everything beautiful and good.
Hugsssssssssssss
Miichelle

Lets start a beauty of nature movement my friend!
We can carry a stick and smack all those ugly people with it ROFLMAO (kidding) I am just tired of people being so hateful and ugly these days around me. I try to envision them as pretty to0 but ya know some just make it impossible damn it! LOL
