the unfinished gentleman. by ~Khrishna:iconKhrishna:



Words have a weight all their own.
Pushing the stones around with my tongue
i excavate speach, uncovering artifacts.
i found everything within an alabaster jar.
the dried wine the scrap of linen, the halting
compliment.
I seek the eternal engine
not just the combustion of the heart.
Looking forward to midnight
and to dusk at the crossroads writing
names with a stick in the dust an infinity
of names in the dust and nothing lifts my blood
but moving from word to word to word.

although i have so sense of poetry, never really seem to understand it and should be shot for the shocking marks i get for it at school, i still maintain that you write the best poetry.... in my books (which arent very thick i must warn you)
...it completely confuses me and yet i cant stop reading it..enough rambling...very nicely done :)
:iconkhrishna:
of all the things people should be shot for
not caring for poetry is one

not understanding
is not. because the one is for fools
and the other is for everyone.

About writers? Lovely. Your poetry has, what might be called, a romantic quality because it could be the most despaired, gritty, vile subject in the world...

but it's eretheal.

And now that I just said a word that I'm not sure I spelled correctly, allow me to point out "speach", is "speech" unless you were going through some witty word play that flew over my head.
