Skeletal Remains

Contributed by hauntedscorp on Friday, 1st July 2005 @ 02:53:02 PM in AEST
Topic: toughstuff



The past is a nice place to visit; but not to stay
dwell with ghosts too long, and your mind may fray

You can't benefit from mistakes you haven't made
nothing would be learned if we all obeyed
Too bad some of the lessons are so damn rough!!
Sometimes we lick our wounds, and the message we rebuff

Stuck in a daydream; another time and place
wishing I could revert to before I was a disgrace

Now let's take it back to the start
where love and happiness depart
"Happy Anniversary!" he says---another slap in the face
I hate what you're not! You're such a disgrace

A perfect paradox---or don't you see?
Is how this delusional rhyme came to be...

This love left long ago, but why didn't YOU?
How many loveless years? It's been a few...
I'm gonna wake up this anger that's seething inside
confront my resentment I've been striving to hide

Not listening to another lie you try to say
my spirit still kicks...I'll have to die another day.

I am glad that I have read carefully, enough, to have viewed the lessons here.

I like the notion of the 'perfect paradox'---paradoxical witihn itself...perfection simply does not exist.
Yet this poem is quite close to it!
Awesome work Scorp :)

Ooo... I like this one too. : ) You are a great writer... this one speaks out a lot to me. It strong, and I like the message that was sent. It's positive... and more people should think like this, or that's how I feel.

Man..I LOVE this stanza Scorp:

"You can't benefit from mistakes you haven't made
nothing would be learned if we all obeyed
Too bad some of the lessons are so damn rough!!
Sometimes we lick our wounds, and the message we rebuff"

The freakin' honesty...
This write gave me 'a cackle of geese'- bumps..lol

Stand strong girl..

(your soul poured onto paper...this write)

Thoughts and Prayers..

Deep Skorp. It is no fun to be there when the love is gone. Been there too many times. Thankfully, there is a tomorrow and a future away from the past...or at least as far away as you can get.

Good write.

I am always amazed at how clearly you say the things I feel inside. It endears you to me. I feel like we have soo much in common your thought processes and topic choices....this is another example of why you are such a great poet. Also I am going to do a series over the nine muses, just so you know, lol. I missed you this weekend, hope all is well.
