[hometext] => a woman lost in an imaginary world
[bodytext] => With your little grey gloves and your purple eyes Your golden carpets of Victorian designs And your Cambridge brain holding English words Learned in confidence with sick professors That you trusted dearly with all your crystal ball scenes And your magazine missions of illustrious dreams What about it could derive truth? Oh wounded heart you’re meeting with a bitter wind The prayer’s sent up with the message stuffed in But the clouds strike a block like your enemy And your wishes are stopped at Sentiment City With your husband at work hammering fists into walls And the static cry of organic flesh through common man’s halls The human howl of your dog that slobbers innocent drool And manner of festive countrymen set ready for you cruel With their deceitful bows and their guilty swords Pinned in your name viciously through industrial lords In what manner, do you stand for? Oh wounded heart, you met a fine card up A six for the devil and an ace for the cup Wine drunk in a stance of foolish victory With parades declared necessary through Sentiment City With your pierced cat lips and your serpent tongue And the jester in rags to which you shattered and hung Loosely by a rope made of your paranoid twitch And your cocaine dance and your tea time itch Your throne of judgment is left in golden accusation And your ring finger empty from unelaborated men Who could ever be worth you? Oh wounded heart in your fairy tale zone With your piles of disappointments leaving you alone At your bedside crying for a lost reality And for your contributed soul to Sentiment City With your moat of fake smiles and false security beasts And unmet invitations to your most promised of feasts Your crown sitting dusty in a security glass And the awkward burglar who dares not to pass In his camouflaged courage and photo album gloves Filled with devotion, acceptance and love Would you let him rob you? Oh wounded heart caught in the window now That you got stuck in staring and don’t know how With your billionaire view is there something else you’d rather see? Then the commotion of the hopeless in Sentiment City? With your bonsai life and your oak worthy ambition And all the harms left wild in bland indecision The crunch of the girl all the butchers remember Failed to be saved by the go to defender And the final insane embrace bound destined to and known That’s left you a pricey adult but not fully grown Oh wounded heart mumbling to an empty room With violet slashes on your wrists and tangled hair a groom Sitting in your rocker, your picture’s almost heavenly Presented as a monument in Sentiment City [comments] => 1 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 73 [informant] => Franciswolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )

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. ©
