I couldn't sleep!

Poem Commentary

I couldn't sleep so I just wrote something simple!

I couldn't sleep!

Wretched demons elude my withering grasp
Cast unto the darkness pale blue, death!
The gentle kiss of death numbs my lively lips
For I have tasted the bitterness of rotting flesh.

As I plummet through the shadows of an empty mind
Light from fire burns the hollowed way to hell
Forever chaining me to my steeple
Whips have torn open old wounds I've sewn with salt

Atrophy! this is nor past or future
The present day bewilders my emotions as they cry out
For thee unknown  surely is impaled within my soul
Yearning, urning, burning out of control

Anew is the broken promises your mouth has spoken
Shadows of your lies fill the sky with a falsened hope
For I'm pelted with the lies that fall from the sky
Tearing me limb from limb

Torn apart by actions of a devilish feen
Tiss the reflection I can no longer bare to see
The bloodied soul of a man wounded with bullets
Cast unto the cowardness of the darkest corner

Light never existing outside the lies
Diligently we seek the answers to all
Yet in the end we never seek what we've found
A new person filled with anger and eaten alive with hate

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
