[hometext] => With this I hear a driving rock beat... pounding... beating... I hope I offend no one with this... it's just my take on the subject... it's not something that I personally do or would ever do... comments appreciated...
[bodytext] => After the sunset... Comes the absence of light When the still darkness becomes the deep blackness of night When... for some... in the darken glow... feeding off the shadows of the mind Life becomes... an empty dream... a mere shell of a cracked mirror of time Both are shattered into a million pieces When life gets dashed against an impenetrable wall And bloody shards of the mind are exploding everywhere in the fall This is where you've found yourself one too many times before... One too many times to really count... 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset You find your weakness... is ready to pound You straight into the ground You take your drug of choice in hand Ready to destroy yourself... if you can Needing a release... of all the day's emotional increase The pain... the anguish of the soul Because you feel... your worthless life can never be made whole 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset When your emotions are running high You just want to fly... To that place of sweet relief Where you think... you can find your peace A place so well hidden in your mind's eye Your belief is... no one will ever find Just what it is you're trying to hide So that you can fight... all alone... 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset You need to fight... All the anguish... all the shame rising up inside As it's wanting to claim your life... Strip you of your soul... To make it all... its own 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset You reach for the only weapon at hand The bloody knife... a sliver of the shattered mirror of time You drag it across your delicate skin Watching in horror as you sink it in Let the bloodbath begin... 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset It's like a drug... draining blood red... to ease your pain An addiction... from which... you can't refrain What starts out as just a scratch... Runs deeper with every new attack 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset And when your done... You gaze upon... The damage path... the bloody tracks The cuts... the scars... left upon your skin As you retrace your steps... You wonder to yourself... Why... have I done it again...? Why... in my mind... do I lie to myself... each and every time... each and every night? When the deed is done... Oh... how can I go on? After the sunset... After the sunset... You just wait for the dawn... As you sit... rocking back and forth... Blood all around... upon the stark white towels Tomorrow's just another day... To start it all over again... 'Cause when it all goes down... it's... After the sunset...

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. ©
