The Sound Of Despair

Sometimes
  I want to enclose you
or
close myself

through you
 
I want to be more than final
    and always untouched
 
like the ashes and the fire.

Most of the time I love you
so I consume you in a second

while my mind is sewing you
closer to my heart
  like the pocket of a shirt
I've never worn

    Your poetry (especially this one, for me) has such a fantastically subtle emotional pull to it. And I really love all that fire symbolism/imagery. You have a lot of talent...keep up the excellent work.

    Wow. You've grown so much. This is nothing like your old stuff. Just... you've evolved. Expanded. Moved up a level. I'm so jealous.

    How've you been, dear? My life is quite empty without AP. As you can see I haven't been on much, haven;t had the time or patience to write anything. But I think I'll change that starting tonight or tomorrow. At least it's a goal.

    I'll talk to you later... did you ever manage to find your way out of the house with no phones? That was a while ago... I hope you did. <3

    I really like this and can relate "most of the time I love you so I consume you in a second" that was an awesome line. You write like you think and that is a good way to inject feeling into you poetry; I felt very pensive reading this and it reminded me of days gone by when I too had sewn my heart.

    There's this idea that there are only 500 people in the world. And they all spend their lives trying to avoid running into each other- but they're constantly bumping into one another, always seeing one another and forever being influenced by one another. The idea goes on to suggest that maybe there aren't just 500 people- maybe there just a bunch of pockets of 500 people- all spending all their energy just trying to avoid one another. Just trying to live their lives in peace- and finally get to the end of it.

    But everything is on a infinite loop, so even the end isn't really the end, because everything repeats. The only things that change are the names.

    Aww... this is such a sweet piece. You've got some really nice imagery there as well. I love the last stanza. It's so sentimental with a brilliant image
    'like the pocket of a shirt I've never worn' a great simile with a lovely feeling to it.

    Very well done, keep it up
