Please read this poem. I'm sorry it's probably awful but I was bored and I wanted to try out something a little more abstract. Tell me what you like and dislike and how i could improve it, and what i should call it. thank you.
Free of my cage the colours of the world open up to my eyes
Colours that my body was hiding from me
“Cruel jailer,” I think, and I scratch at my arm,
“Now I’ve escaped, the bigger picture I see!”
Every sensation, magnified by intoxication
The percussion in my ears plays to the beat of the drumroll
And my feet dance to the tune of the sighted
With every slap, the earth shivers
And with every clap the air trembles
At my beck and at my call
The elements kiss my feet with solemn gratitude
And the beat of my heart pushes harder
To keep in tune
My voice rumbles through the ravines of ears
Ordering power, insisting on an audience
All heads turn to see me, stepping to the clouds
And the Gods shall receive me, shall greet me
At the gates
For I alone conquered the trick of sight
Who else knew but I
This little trick they played on us
They stole from us
And they will marvel at my sense
And praise me as their own
But oh the people,
So far below my feet
They do not understand
Because they are still blinded
I will show them
They will see what they never trusted
They will see my body lift in the air
And the angels caress my contours
And take my by hand and elbow
To my assigned throne
Which I can already see
Etched in clouds
My foot wanders to places unknown
Stepping into the abyss
The air strokes my face, aiding me
And the sun blasts against my back
Creating a halo about me
And all the colours explode in my head
The drums surrender to the shriek of the violin
And the clash of the symbol
The wail of the child
And the scream of the woman
As I lie in the earth
From which I was born
To lay down again
And breathe my last “Hallelujah”
PS if you're just gonna say it's too long then please don't waste your breath - ';Search for my tongue'; is a famous poem and it's much longer.Ok i'm sorry it's abstract, but could you tell me what you think, please?
I like it, and think it's pretty good. Must have taken you a long time! I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into it, the word choice is awesome and goes together perfectly. It may be abstract, but it's good. It's one of those great poems that is confusing but at the same time makes all the sense in the world. I write poetry a lot and no one usually gets mine but I always understand it. I would keep writing if I were you, you're good and poetry is a good way to get out pent up emotions.Ok i'm sorry it's abstract, but could you tell me what you think, please?
yes! i like it!
:D
good work!
