and still i breathe

in the event that morning
shall rise only to appease
the trident Gods,
catacombs will urge
the blind faith
of eager mortality

i live in an ulterior
realm of subconsciousness,
instead of "oneness"
i feel isolation,
emasculated

enter now the relevance
of the mother's passing
and the fathers following.
by virtue of implausibility
i still breathe

an owl was seen
perched on my window sill,
the medicine man took to ill,
the raven has to much time to kill
(the moon stood still)

wait!
my fair maiden,
the widow of the willow
sweet sister still
wrestles tears on my pillow

silence breeds portrait monsters
of an insatiable past...
sweet sister
how long will it last

...and still i breathe

Please tell me what you think

    It is so ironic that our worst moods often bring out the best writing. This one has to be one of your best, it took my breath away. So much raw emotion.

    i strated to read, adn i thought "rich is a striyteller" but the deeper i got into it...into the core...the more i felt as if you were entwining me into your sorrow. it isn't that you're a plain storyteller, no, you wrap your emtoions in such a spell-binding way aorund the reader.

    oh rich! i'm so sorry you had to go through that! if my tears and sorrow could do something...

    you're a wonderful poet, and everything you've been through only illuminates that fact.

      thanks

      yeah that was another one that i wrote while thinking what i should eat. it seems that i am more capable of writing when on an empty stomach.

      this one i wrote about my parents deaths, and the 'implausiblity' of me being able to endure it. well that is what i was trying to say anyhow.

      thanks for your heartfelt comments. they are truly ejoyed.

    and you don't think that you are that great?! HA!

    i love your writings like this, they hit the core of my being,. they are refined but still very raw in a way.... or maybe i'm just over tired and looking too deep into it!

    love it

      i wrote this one, about the deaths of my parents, and me having to live on without them. i mentioned my sister, for she still misses them as much as i do too.

      i was kind of depressed when i wrote this, thinking about everything that is going on in my life as of now. weird moods, i suppose, but that is what you get when you are bi polar.
