dazed and delinquent

Missing image

03.08.09...... on sorrow.

 


In those sorrowful tears, those that, in their daily reflections, fear shimmered so fiery to become all they saw. Lost to all but his soul’s shadow, to become it maybe, or pacing like flickers in the dark ends of his mind, just an incomplete negation battling with the question of his existence, yes, that fateful cursed question came to tear at him, held open his feather light arms to were poison was given passage in sail to his inner kingdoms, the city burns, these were his battle scars.

To manifest into this place, seemingly unrecognisable to him was his sin, was this by his own innate divine will as too wish himself into existence from the memory of the dust of the stars? the burden of not having chosen to come into this world and be in expression would be the death of him, so why not contemplate on non existence? why not contemplate on it if at times the constant conflicts rip through the fleshes of his ever fragile soul, spirit bleeding out onto the hot ashes of the ground scented for night scavengers to trail and follow, to be left paralysed in his eternal, frightful, fragmented expression.

Those broken, shattered remains of his being lost to the blackness of space such like never to be found. Only whispers from here to there, memory glitches of past lives plays torment, apparitions of himself seem as demons eternally hunting for his soul, they stalk him like wraithlike hungry ghosts of times never mentioned, its frightening.

the fiery hell of the gods was never on the outside.

Breathe becomes meaningless, transcend to contemplate what’s beyond it, to dream becomes the only way, to became master of the many lives he became, timeless in his own afflictions, dazed and delinquent, to become lost, or found.. were ever in this dark space he remains.

    I honestly felt like some of the lines were taken from my truth. My pain was validated with the line about blackness of space. It's hard to be a thinker and not get lost in my thoughts sometimes. When I come to, I'm still lost and although I've stood still, time didn't. This poem speaks volumes to me. Thank you for posting it. Know that I am so excited that you are back writing and I missed you much. I can't wait until you post again.

    If you don't mind me pointing out some wordy spots for ya- "his own innate divine will", be careful about using too many adjectives and pronouns near each other.

    "to be left paralysed in his eternal, frightful, fragmented expression"- this one could go either way, it definitely contributes to the 'chaotic' feel but it also feels wordy.

    It may just be because this is prose. If you enter poetry in the next round (which should be posted later today) it may work better.

    For Introspection, my vote is yes.

    Some of this seems muddled, drawn-out, like a stream of consciousness, but I think that fits in with the 'dazed' idea. There were a lot of insightful phrases, I just think it would have been more effective with slightly less weight to each section. But still, I really appreciate this. You have a unique voice. I look forward to reading more of you.

    Wow, lost in the shadows of ones mind. It is a prison and slow poison all it's own. Ones own inner workings can give way to the darkest hours of our lives. This piece was so in depth and in tune with the working of your mind, Blac. I know the unanswerable knowledge you seek. Ponder on. Lose yourself in sometimes. I understand the thirst to know these answers but they are always beyond our means. This piece spoke volumes. Any one that doesn't get it, doesn't know you. (smile) Thanks for sharing. Great piece. - cgirl0410 (you know the name)
