Array ( [sid] => 42869 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Red [time] => 2004-04-12 10:06:56 [hometext] => I find this to be one of my most disturbing poems. But at the time it was written, it was the most comforting. [bodytext] => Red, all I see is red
Bright red swirling around in a pool of angst and torment
Dripping, oozing out
Leaking, leaking and it won't stop
Even if I close my eyes
I'll still see the bright red
What's this?
A purplish-blue tube wrapped up in red
Like a cheap Christmas package
The tube splits open when the knife slices through
And red, more red appears
Where is all this red coming from?
And I look past it, and all I see is the rest of my bloody, mangled wrist
And red
All I see is red.

Red

Red, all I see is red
Bright red swirling around in a pool of angst and torment
Dripping, oozing out
Leaking, leaking and it won't stop
Even if I close my eyes
I'll still see the bright red
What's this?
A purplish-blue tube wrapped up in red
Like a cheap Christmas package
The tube splits open when the knife slices through
And red, more red appears
Where is all this red coming from?
And I look past it, and all I see is the rest of my bloody, mangled wrist
And red
All I see is red.

this is both frantic, dark, scary and disturbing. Poetry is always comforting when it means something to you, and I'm glad it was comforting for you. Maybe other people with the same feelings can find comfort in this

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. ©
