57879, in the absence of love... Posted by ASIEM, Mon Jun-12-06 01:49 AM
i was born a man in time when boy was still a rank below earned merit
raised to conquer self made prisons fear rejected the demon in the mirror at last free behind drug induced states i lasted till seasons changed torment into a painful hope lifted in admission
never alone i give away what i kept sacred daily another life falls and rises talkin heads find serene beginnings
an element no longer a mystery i use as yet another tool carving a slow smile across the devide between i and others looking for something to hold to feel to last till rage turns and is no more a comfort in the absence of love...

So many lines here, but notably...
"never alone i give away what i kept sacred daily another life falls and rises talkin heads find serene beginnings"
Love the idea of release of what was sacred....
and--
"an element no longer a mystery i use as yet another tool carving a slow smile across the devide between i and others looking for something to hold to feel to last till rage turns and is no more a comfort in the absence of love..."
The idea of healing the division between us and others...
well done.

The depth of this is simply stunning. Every time I read it, I observe new things i hadn't seen before.

the desperation is this stanza is intense and so real.
>raised to conquer >self made prisons >fear rejected the demon >in the mirror >at last free behind >drug induced states >i lasted till >seasons changed >torment into a painful >hope lifted in admission
and ...
> an element >no longer a mystery >i use as yet another tool >carving a slow smile >across the devide >between i and others >looking for something >to hold to feel to last >till rage turns and is >no more a comfort >in the absence >of love...
then i love the bittersweet culmination of the end. its not a disney-fied love for all ending, but something that can't help but force a smile on this reader.
excited to be back cause i know theres a lot more where this came from. can't wait to read more
