Animated Sound

I admire fragility but I hate her grip

She takes me to pure slumber falls

Under hypnosis my mind creates

A dream in which my dying stalls 

Yesterday's negative turns to watch his reprise

Where natural-highs elopes their plighted ground

From within the apathy of fading thought

I'm lost in animated sound

 

Power flows throughout the hours

Eloquent harmony rises

Carving thoughts follow my steps throughout

Please hive the lost in smaller sizes

 

Breed the friends that help create your life

My soliloquy is my own rendition

Superficial feels this black façade

Engage in its tradition

 

A pure soul of requiems reside

Watching me bleed on the floor

Vagabonds are on the rise

Souls re-canvas the skies and shore

 

Encapsulating the aping of our fellow man

Upturned caskets on fire

Sickness expires self-esteem

For the birds are all dead on the wire

 

Eternity owns your choices calm

Meet your soul on the way to the dogs

Love turns water into white sand

Creating all the needed made-up Gods

The final four lines are striking, yet there\'s parts throughout which jump out as I read.

I noticed this from the sidebar area on the index page and I was expecting lyrics, not a poem but pleasantly surprised. Thanks for sharing mate

Hi Stewart Your words are eloquent- mystifying, thought-provoking- so damn good!...your turn of a phrase- gives way to reaction and pause- they tease and titilatemakes for questions to be asked- my take: life is fragile-speak up and ask those questions- of all that you are unsure of- and in the end whatever you believe-becomes your eternal reward.  Regards Mike  

we create our own realities.. in a way Mike  glad you and Joey enjoy my stuff...  more to come!my main aim is to make us question reality and illusion.. and if either exist

I like the aspect of this poem. Its well wrote too.

I can see why you titled it animated sound, you really have given life to it. Well done
