The Side in the Middle

[Queen of Rain]

The Side in the Middle

I think I’ll step over
To the side in the middle
To those that both eager
And want my desire
I think I’ll step over
If only for a while
To justify my boredom
In memory of that one time

I will not stay there
My emotions don’t belong
But I’ll give my desire
If only for a while

Attempt the beauty!
Of a familiar one
I aim not the eroticism
But that for once
Have a lover understanding
As beautiful as a day

And they say every step
Develops yourself
And this will be a milestone
In knowing my own
I will not stay there
But I will enjoy
To admire the beauty
And desire them both


one more attempt to disturb my audience.. im not sure about the title though, should it keep its present name, or should i call it Pause instead?

It isn't very disturbing, it sounds more sad and bittersweet, like the thoughts a poet with consumption might think as he coughs out his last bloody breaths. Very good!

thats an interesting analysis, thnx... i have as tendency to g4et my poems a bit bittersweet, it must b my personality... but hwo can i atepmt to minimse the dansess in this poem??

Do you think you can tell me what your subject/topic for this poem really is?
It almost sounds as if the "side" is a metaphor.
I'd like to hear what you have to say about your own work, other than the fact that it's likely disturbing.

Well i got the inspiration from conversations with my firends about developing ones sexuality... and often we condier bisexuality.. adn iinspired by a poem by DH Lawerence I wanted to write an explanation to why I would consider bisexuality...

but thats just one way of analysing it and thats why I like this poem... its a little less obvious than most of my other poems..
