Shallow
can't sleep tonight
been feeling all kinds of ugly
I know you want a fierce write
this isn't it..
shallow in nature
lusting after the way a person writes
the way they look
deluded not knowing anything about them
they could be a real arrogant bastard
I always make demi gods out of poets
it's my way to escape
into their vistas
because the windows in my world
are smeared with nicotine, alcohol haze
one that blocks my view to the finer things in life
I want a clear concise outlook
stating this with slurred words
hoping my drunken thoughts
turn into something that isn't shit
I always chase what I can't have
if it looks like they may show feelings for me
I turn and run as fast as my shaky legs can go
poets come and go
we're all just a bunch of arrogant asses
well except for my beauties you know who you are
love for you will never be tarnished
ladies my feeling for you are real
be true to yourselves and don't fall for a poet

Ahhh, crimsin, luv ~ :-*
Unveiled, indeed, you are here, ne c'est pas? :-*
You do realize, don't you, luv, that your admonition falls upon those already smitten? ;-*
By you.
Of course. Mais, bien sûr, chérie.
We're all already lost... :-*

heh i find myself agreeing with the oracle above... but it's the arrogance that does it, no? the inky swagger, that cocksure flow... it makes a girl curious
*sigh*
i could tread water in your shallows, beautiful one

I love this Crim, and I've fallen a couple of times myself, so it works both ways. My heart follows its own course, fortunately or unfortunately. Personas get in the way and block the actual person behind the lines far too much of the time. You seem realer than most here, the irredeemably diabolical Crim notwithstanding. See you in the deep end!

Miss Crim, Miss Crim. . .but isn't that the beauty of falling for a Poet just so we can pen poems such as this one. . .This one that hits the nail right on the head?. . .I've had my share of heartache and heartbreak both in and out of the poetic world. . .yet, I can't help but to fall. . .If only poets were true in real life as they are in their poems, love would be so. . .Well, I'll just leave it at that. . .Enjoyed. . .immensely. . .xoxo, Devlin;)

it is the beauty of it we fascinate, go through tragedies together, titillate peoples minds..

is the nature of being so closely connected..

hi crimsin: wow...this poem is "making me feel a way" as the teenagers say. yup shallow, we all have lusted over someone's looks and I for one have had a fun time imaging how a poet really is. however you are right, poets are a dangerous lot and if they are appealing to the eye look out. the thrill of what we can't have never seems to get old. very cool poem.

"..... a real arrogant bastard"
Damn your honesty, lovely lass. ;)
I thought I had you fooled. :D
There is no pinnacle without the valley.
There is no ecstasy without the fall.
Outstanding ink!
you know, ;)

I think you just drew a line in the sand with a severed penis... damn fine words, crim. [Cocksure poets, I thought they all got castrated way back when poetry was cool].
Seems I'm always dropping by when you create something bleeding from the heart, makes for some powerful poetry. Shine on, Brenda.
