To Have Nothing The sun shines down onto the cement Oblivious to the days and nights and what they could have meant Dark clouds move in but they can’t shroud the world On the street stands at figure, I think it’s a girl The light is absorbed but doesn’t warm her face Covered is shadow, a deathly embrace Wherever I go I can’t forget her presence A shadow in my heart, such omnipresence I reach out and touch her, but like the light All warmth is absorbed, lyrical frostbite Numbing my body, suddenly enchanted Freezing my mind, my heart transplanted Can’t pull away, centripetal force A certain gravity and you are the source Impossible to escape, not that I want to My love is a ghost that can’t help but haunt you But when the sun goes down and the clouds block the stars You illuminate me, shed light on my scars My flaws thrown at me, I suffocate I breathe in your smile, choke on my fate Sunlight returns, UV rays on my skin I crave this cancer; it hides what’s within To live your life and get nowhere Numbers aren’t words Numbers don’t care I thought I was happy until you were there Shown what I can’t have The pain I can’t bear Genetic manipulation, algebraic vectors Projectile motion and Cartesian plane sectors So complex, so beautifully simple now The fourth dimension passes faster than I’d allow Time acceleration and you are the catalyst I want you- no proofs need establish this Brain waves change medium; conservation of energy Of thoughts and words, the latter are the enemy These memories of you won’t let me be Pulling me along this downward trajectory But thoughts are not real, have no physical manifestation I keep them prisoner, trapped in my imagination Mental jailbreaks exist in the form of dreams A psychological escape would rip me at my seems Vocal supernovas, the product of my frustration Devoured in a black hole of my own creation If the words escaped then you’d be soon to follow So I keep my head full and my heart hollow But it matters not; you’ll be gone soon anyways The paradox beckons my breath to form a phrase But my words would form a sentence, note the dual meaning I wouldn’t torture you with a love so demeaning http://esaul17.sitesled.com/To Have Nothing.html A bit heavy on the vocabulary. Please R & R.
It's awesome. For some reason people have decided to skip over peoples things without comment these days. So, I'll comment, and tell you that this was some of the best writing I've seen. Oh and I saw this on GameFaqs, and saw your name. I had to check to see if it was the same person, and yet it is. Cool. Have a great day GF pal lol.
hehe its not as big on vocabulary as you think but thats not a bad point at all... its a really good piece.. you depict your visuals well and its alot different to the other stuff i read here *shifts eyes*
Thanks. What is your name of GameFAQS heshboy? And I guess it was a bit large on vocabulary compared to my others poems, but not overall. Thanks a lot for commenting.
I'm ss54gohan, but that's my brothers account I'm using to post more until my alt gets out of purg. My main account is ryuisill. What boards do you usually go to? I usualy stick to the NGG Board , and a few others.
I usually go to Revolution, Twightlight Princess and Final Fantasy VII:AC boads, while occasionally visiting the Anime-Other Titles Board.
Euh, this comment has nothing to do with any of those games, but; The poem was beautiful, you have great talent, and all your works carry a great deal of emotion. Well done. (Maybe you'll get more comments if you actually post the entire poem instead of a link)
it was so...complete...so ..so...whole... it was so well carved. it was so... like a tyranny that i'm fallen for. it's so fantastic...
I'm hoping to get around to it. THe project isn't dropped just...postponed. Sorry. Next time I have some spare time I'll try to give it a go. Thanks for the comment as well, apreciated as always.
