"aqua"

[Bonochick]

Aquamarine...my old nickname...

I liked that poem a lot..."my hands are bound by hypocrisy's crude rope"...very nice.

Trust In God...But Lock Your Doors

 

[scatteroflight]

and I am the submarine
waiting in the beautiful aquamarine

I've said a million times that your endings are the best parts of your poems--which I think is very, very important, but I'm gonna say it again

------------------
The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once gave no resistance

 

[brettig]

you gave them this pain, fed me this guilt
thought you toppled all that we built
but I turn to trace the dust
to catch the tears as they turn to rust

Cut and Thrust!

 

[BabyGrace]

beautiful aquamarine
lost in a skyscraper's tossed gleam
I vanish like the vapor
strewn like the paper

witness to the marriage of death and hope
my hands are bound by hypocrisy's crude rope
but my heart is still free
and your brutal slashing could never take that away from me

cut and burn
toss and turn
you'll never learn
you'll never earn
back my sympathy

bittersweet symphony
the last chords still vibrate clear
held shining in a mother's tear
you gave them this pain, fed me this guilt
thought you toppled all that we built
but I turn to trace the dust
to catch the tears as they turn to rust

and I am the submarine
waiting in the beautiful aquamarine

apologies to The Verve for stealing that line

but for the grace of love I'd will the meaning of heaven from above...

 

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

WOW!

For some reason, I read this poem and just fell in love with it! beautiful aquamarine
lost in a skyscraper's tossed gleam
I vanish like the vapor
strewn like the paper

I love the first verse...this is truly beautiful

 

[The Wanderer]

i don't want this to be taken lightly when i say this: I really want to continue reading your poems for a very long time Nikki, long after this site is gone

-------
twilight fades through blistered avalon
the sky's cruel torch on aching autobahn...

because he's undone
become the language of
disaster and love
vengeance and dust...
let them taste
the bitter lost mistake of you

 

[BabyGrace]

well then you will. so long as I may read yours

thanks all
