Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Eyes crash into
hysterical walls
though time is short
it towers over
our feeble gestures
you laugh as I
attempt to inject
meaning into
this maudlin tempest
for Cupid's arrow
warped around your heart
and couldn't even
graze it's surface

so true.

Is it?

Laboring under my limited perspective, I never can be sure.

yes
only your words can pierce it.

K~... I liked this. Your lines were great. If I had to choose a favorite (which I'd never do! ) it'd be -

"this maudlin tempest
for Cupid's arrow...'

but to isolate just one out of the whole would be foolish on my part.

Thanks for the poem.

another reason I know it is true
I can not pull one line out of it and say that is what caught my eye, or that is what I liked most. It has integrity. It is a whole greater than the sum of its parts, its individual lines. But my perspective is limited too. The surface of my heart so callused with self pity

i don`t think about what i write
do
say or act
acting like what ever I do
is great and
assuming the
line of a king that I think I am
I really love poets that really take the time to think about every word
poetry is more effective that way...

yes, ~k definetly crafts her or his poems. Strange thing is I replied before to the poem before he/she put the avatar up. I had no idea what the poet's gender was. When I notice ~k had posted to creative my jaw dropped. I remember her/him from litkicks. When I saw the avatar all I could do was say got damit, I didn't want to see that. The last thing I needed was to see another beautiful face.

hip shot geoff, sponataneous gibberish, automatic typing, play some spooky theramin music. that is how I feel when i just let it rip in an open text box. I read this as i type in a whisper.

Yes Cecil mauldlin indeed

Maudlin as the Magician Of Lublin
but I have bult my monk's cell with
Silicon bricks
more effective than clay

my love life
is to love my life.

penitent that i am.

Indeed, this is one of those little gems that stands out in a treasure chest full of them....

I love this.
