Please read this poem if you want.

(I’m jumping on the poem bandwagon.)

This darkness behind my eyes.

And before my eyes.

Was here before you.

And will still remain, behind you.

So, I will not succumb

To your telling hands..

Will not become un-done

By your mute demands..

I will not lie, wasted,

by the sticky sweet..

that seeps,

like honey,

out through your pores

and onto me…

desire, tasted.

I will not lie, wasted

By the light between your teeth

where, water and land meet,

that keep…

these frantic wings beating,

inside me…

truth, tasted.

So I will not succumb

To your austere hands..

Will not become un-done

By your gentle demands..

This darkness behind my eyes.

And before my eyes.

Was here before you.

And will still remain, behind you.

say what? it’s not really meant for anyone.

Once i write it, it’s not part of me anymore. so i can interpret it.

the darkness is ourselves? The stillness inside us, thats connected to everything…around us.

and desire, truth, touch, words, everything…is insubstantial compared to it.

so dunno who its meant for. but would say its meant for everyone.

light, darkness. What i mean, is a sort of soothing, a calm. I think it’s the same thing really, or that’s how i interpret it……

I admire that you won’t compromise.

Nice.

When I read it the first time, its was just imagery and word play ( haven’t read a poem for a long while)

The second, I thought it was about letting go, or rejecting a lover.

On the third read, it put me in mind of a desire to be in love with them, but to not loose myself in them this time.

I rarely like any poem unless it’s written by famous poets. :p
But I like yours.
