The Extremity.

Invigorate the alltogether Sedate
call this a procession                              Hope and Mourning
a song of life                                            Life while Dying
not a funeral of memories.                        Sing so Quiet
                                                                  Of my Human Fall
Bid my limbs to move
and my heart to still
The ink may flow..                      Bitter    Broken    Promise
but no more blood will.                      Sharp to death
                                                            Where are you?   
Names be etched                                    What is left?
lines were drawn
As much as I would-
I cant.                                          -I want you back.
I must not go away
I make it hard to stay
Do you miss me?                    The frost grows on broken flesh
                                              I loose myself to something else
I waste myself                        Everything is just cold and haunted
in a life loosing Faith
Is twenty-two days a safe distance?
I can't forget. I breathe regret.          Just sitting here
                                                            My worst fear is to not care
Someone said silence is the end.          You said life is just too busy right now.
I want to write a better book.
I want to close it before you cry.                  Do you dream of me?
Torn pages. Mad life. Live or Die?                  This need, my Desperate Plea
                                                                          I think of you.. Constantly
It feels like theres all these ropes tied to me.      Youre my reason
I jumped off the cliff.. I'm drowning in the sea        I am STILL here
It's just the thought of all them dragging me.
I dont care enough or way too much..                I want a release
                                                                            speak in monotone
It is not alright                                                        say you are gone
The pastor or psychologist can drone on                    let this cease
Ive lost my trust in the rational and just
Everything is aching my Belief is breaking
                                            Before it is almost too late
Come back to me please...                                            Sing me back to Life.

Please tell me what you think

    I loved reading this i had to read it several times and still it interests me... it feels like emotion rather than words it appeals to a far more inter-mental part of me..
    Great work..

    Break my heart and I'll never return, but keep it and I will.

    Singing Songs of sadness
    The Angel dances by
    Though you feel she'll ne'er return
    All we can really do is try

    And in spring the roses bloom
    Baby birds will learn to fly
    Maybe she will be there
    All she can really do is try

    Take this red,red rose
    And my ring of silver
    Tell me what you chose
    And let it flow out like the river

    And in the end the clock still ticks
    Its slow and painful time is kept
    You will see and you will hear
    Of all the nights the angel wept.


    I am your angel of music.

      its been so long.. i know what we had was just a quick obession that was perfect for us both, cause we rooted ourselves in God and prayed for eachother.. i think thats why you were sooooooooooo very hard to stop thinking about, i so didnt wanna settle for anything else. i have.. so much.. =/. im not a virgin anymore.. im not remotely pure, ive got my self destructive cycle just as in place as ever.. and like always i see myself further down, in the hole, or merely once again at the bottom of the mountain i Need to climb, the fight defines our exsisitance. i still think about dying.. and i hold it in to not hurt anyone. i know you'll never see this.. i doubt you will at least.. and i needed to say it anyway. i love you and you can forget me.. but i wont forget, i dont care how little our time was.. or whatever happened.. i dont know how to let go, ill embrace it still, hold tight and keep the memories alive..

    It's a horrible ordeal when one is not as receptive as the other. It's more than a brick wall - it's ... like you're shivering and they're busying basking in a summer's light.
    A part of you needs them, because they have something you want, but they're just fabricated most of the time, eh?
    Such confusion comes from the poem, and I think most can understand it. This poem seems almost an attempt to rid yourself of the confusion. A lot of words, thoughts, and work has gone into it, that's for sure.
    < The frost grows on broken flesh
    I loose myself to something else >
    Brings to mind a poignant cryogenic capsule, as if there were such a thing.

    Powerful

    This is difficult to review because it does feel so intensely personal, raw and gritty. I wouldn't bother with the small corrections unless you plan to submit for publication. It is very, very good writing. My best, PP

    Can't we all just get along.....?

    A very intuitive perspective on the relationship between men and women. You have captured the essence of how different the needs are, yet the result is the same. Man needs not to feel trapped. (It feels like theres all these ropes tied to me. I jumped off the cliff.. I'm drowning in the sea It's just the thought of all them dragging me. I dont care enough or way too much..), yet not alone. Woman needs to be romanced(Do you dream of me? This need, my Desperate Plea I think of you...Constantly You're my reason I am still here) and not alone, both seeking validation and understanding.
    This is an amazing creation.
    With much love,
    your AP daughter

    WOW TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. You have redefined poetry here. Two poems for the price of one. Nice work. I can feel the emotion and desperation that leaks form this piece.

    "It feels like theres all these ropes tied to me. Youre my reason

    Well done,

    Some real good lines here & there. One can "feel" your poem. That's good!

    I felt you pain ... i loved the way that the two parts were broken and disjointed kind of like the emotions within the poem

    Very sad. Even though you "make it hard to stay", you don't want her to leave ... an all-too-common problem in crumbling relationships.

    "Ive lost my trust in the rational and just
    Everything is aching my Belief is breaking
    Before it is almost too late
    Come back to me please... Sing me back to Life."

    If she has no song ... it's time to move on.

    The last part broke my heart.
    Thanks for that.

    Also the lines:

    and my heart to still
    The ink may flow.. Bitter Broken Promise
    but no more blood will. Sharp to death

    are bloody brilliant.
    I loved the whole thing. But I was not expecting the last part.
    I love the part about writing a new book.
    A better book.

    Again, I can't say how good this is.
    I wish I could write something this personal.
    Something that inspired that much emotion.

    Amazing.
