-the sociopath and I
gently I was lost before I leapt
impassioned by a view
which would not render
beyond simple fascination
recalling forgotten reasons I'd wept
upon the end of golden smile days
'twas sharp breath stitching up my sides
for a fine hearts intention
may run too far sometimes
thy fall began my death anew
to saunter away I would not stumble
and lay what died to rest with you
beneath the shadow of your soul
where you hide all those faces
you can't show the others

so uh hi *wavez*
i kinda just sent i.m'd ya something on this
but ya know i like to hear m'self talk so...
... i'm with you on the "contrived" thing (to a point)
obvs with the different eras, audiences find different things appealing.
i'm not a fan of rhyme either & can't really be arsed with structure
anyhoo....
... i like that you stepped outside your comfort zone & didn't lose your unique voice while doing so
definitely still shades of eddie throughout
but, the twas-ing & thy-ing just doesn't do anything for me,
oddly enough the rhyme doesn't bug me o.O could be the pain meds. yum.
*
also that last bit of the disclaimer explaining that this is about twatty mc thunder cunt kinda spoiled this for me a little.
i drew dual conclusions reading this & ya know, i thinks it's kinda important for the reader to draw their own conclusions too (even tho half the time we're wrong lol)
i think i mentioned that i loooooove the last two lines, they're epic.
cheers for a good read eddie

Fantastic, Fenom. Glad to see you back, we've missed your posts and comments.

Lessons will be repeated until learned... Think I got it this one this time...
Someone, a supposed English bigwig read some of my writing and said I needed to read Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keets to be a good writer, but when asked to critique me refused.
Well, I went and read his suggested material and although respect for the classics should be given it's due, I find the writing contrived and often disjointed. I wrote this with their style and era in mind mixed with my own touch. I'm rather happy with the outcome actually, but still feel the same about it for the most part.
Though, I'll admit I feel that I may have learned something here about myself perhaps if nothing else. ;)
Nice to see you as always, my dear...

We always learn something of our self through any interaction, don't we? But, damn, those lessons can be tough!

but if poetry isn't contrived it's simply an accident, which sort of absolves most of the poets... :)

I do see what you're saying. I guess it's a fine line to walk. However, when all the writing rhymes it just seems obvious. I don't know
think my favourite poems are those that just sound right - and I don't really notice, whilst reading, whether they rhyme or they don't...
