[hometext] => Kind of based on the Shakespeare play King Lear... kind of not... kind of... interesting. The last two lines were taken from a poem called ''Ophelia's Song'' or something like that, the credit goes to the author of that poem.
[bodytext] => Take shelter from the storm Madness can only keep you warm So long, until it starts to take it's toll I won't leave you out in the cold Don't just give up and be swept away Across the lonely, barren plain There's a grain of truth in all you say You want from me You loved me But madness reigns Only a Fool like me would follow you so far Someone has to remind you who you are. Ring, ring, the doorbell's ringing yet again It's not much But maybe it is just enough To lift this reverie, hey I may be deaf and dumb, but damn, I still can see! You left a ring of light upon the stair A ring of endless light that wasn't there So long, the darkness now seems darker And the bleak truth so much starker With that grain of truth you left here Waiting for the answers to appear In the shadows cast by the ring of light You left for me You loved me But madness reigns Only a Fool like me would follow you so far Someone has to remind you who you are. Ring, ring, the doorbell's ringing yet again It's not much But maybe it is just enough That two blinks means yes, hey Answer me in writing, cuz I can't do much else! The bleak truth of the forest fire Black leaves behind candycane liars In trees, telling lies becomes an art To one so skilled as me and my black heart Wake up in twenty years and see if things have changed Nope, the same old, same old games You played with me You loved me But madness reigns Only a Fool like me would follow you so far Someone has to remind you who you are. Ring, ring, the doorbell's ringing yet again It's not much But maybe it is just enough There's a new exciting point of view, hey No, that's old news, nothing makes the front page today Autumn winds, autumn winds I've got years to kill here Let's take a nap under this tree and see if things have changed The storm's still bowing, won't you come inside, my lord? But who is leading who, when the blind can't find the door? Take shelter from the storm Madness can only keep you warm So long, until it starts to take it's toll You know, I've seen these old kings fade away But hey! Make the right decisions and you might live To love again someday. You loved me But madness reigns Ring, ring, the doorbell's ringing yet again It's not much But maybe it is just enough Wake up in twenty years, hey The same old games are being played with different names And maybe I'm the one who scorns the door Forcing myself into the autumn winds Out in the storm again Trying to convice myself it's all for you Waiting in the ring of light For night to fall Ring, ring, the doorbell's ringing, but I won't answer I can't leave the call of the storm Madness can only keep me warm for so long But at least it's something new! I know it's true You're the Fool to follow me all this time Singing a stupid little rhyme About a ring of endless light Can't you see it's so cliche? Shut up, shut up, and let me run away [comments] => 2 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 68 [informant] => Cora-Windover [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fictional )

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. ©
