Array ( [sid] => 19214 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Bitter Tranquility [time] => 2003-06-18 06:35:00 [hometext] => This arose out of contemplation that took an awry turn; I call it a 'projection poem'. Not that suicide is foreign subject matter to me; a saying of mine is, "if someone has never wanted to kill themself, they're probably not worth my time." More dark art, poetry and humor is available on my website. [bodytext] => For every battle there was a purpose
And for every purpose there was a dream
And the walls stopped whispering before I went in their rooms
And the birds I never noticed must have flown by normally

For every tear that I shed back then, over nothing,
Something left me when it bled into the ground
For every person that died someone mourned, someone lied
But that was before the world burned down.

Now I make my first unchained decision
And defy everyone that helped me grow
Now I burn all my bridges and say all my apologies
As an effigy alight in a remote bank of snow

Now I fall from my place just one cloud below grace
Like a soaring eagle crashing into the sea
I now join what I lost in unifying oblivion,
And restore to the world Bitter Tranquility. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 210 [topic] => 36 [informant] => DreamDecay [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Bitter Tranquility

Topic: Suicide

For every battle there was a purpose
And for every purpose there was a dream
And the walls stopped whispering before I went in their rooms
And the birds I never noticed must have flown by normally

For every tear that I shed back then, over nothing,
Something left me when it bled into the ground
For every person that died someone mourned, someone lied
But that was before the world burned down.

Now I make my first unchained decision
And defy everyone that helped me grow
Now I burn all my bridges and say all my apologies
As an effigy alight in a remote bank of snow

Now I fall from my place just one cloud below grace
Like a soaring eagle crashing into the sea
I now join what I lost in unifying oblivion,
And restore to the world Bitter Tranquility.

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. ©
