Our world fixed inside
The promises
The lies
The hungers
Of supremacy
Destiny,
Struggle,
Selfishness,
So many people
Have we ever been more alone?
Women trapped inside
The flames
The reflections
The facets
Of diamonds
Rubies,
Emeralds,
Sapphires,
All that glitters is gold
In eyes colored material.
Men caught inside
The minds
The worlds
The powers
Of persuasion
Attraction,
Invincibility,
Longevity,
Wondering if this is the day
To slip off their rings.
One girl latched inside
Her dreams
Her plans
Her longings
Of hope
Virginity,
Fidelity,
Love,
Restless to conquer the world
And take it apart to find someone worth it.
I decided to write this on spur of the moment. I heard the phrase somewhere, maybe here, "Just waiting to see if you should take off your wedding ring" and it struck me. That's what happens sometimes, I hear a set of words and i have the urge to turn them into something more. That phrase isn't a big part or theme of the poem like the last time i wrote a phrase poem. In it, the phrase was actually the title of the poem and it was a theme. (a thousand shades of darkness, in case, by some miracle, anybody read it, much less enjoyed it.) but sometimes i kinda feel like the last verse, caught in my own world with my own morals and no one who seems to share them with me. i'm waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and i'm restless, but for what, you know? anyways, if anybody feels like that, or against that, or just wants to say something about it, or, oh yeah, the poem, then i would really, really appreciate it. now that i've had my rambling, but serious, post of the day, i'm going to quit rambling and do something important. . . like eat something.
love to all,
