Haven (Free verse) by cyan9

While silver fruit rots on trees Forage the dry earth, now breath. Shadows coil, twist and yearn, Cogs burr and bats stir in the eaves. Piercing eyes stare from cracks Splits in beams holes in the shack, Voyeurs of the dead machines, Voyeurs in a shed unseen. Hurt dwindled like little burns, little scars, An eye for machinery, an eye fixated upon the stars, Silver by nature, silver by nurture, Silver in the head silver once dead. Clamps and forceps, medical vices held by Wires writhing beneath the leaves, Bonding with smoke like solder, A cloud of love for autumn's disease, A cloud of love for autumn's beauty.

Not at all, there are many people who I respect but still question, my respect for your knowledge was lost earlier in the discourse and has been regained as we have moved on. When I find people on sites like this who I perceive as trying to be rude for the sake of it, I liken them to myself at 13, when I used to go to chat rooms and be rude for the sake of it (hence the "teenager" lines); I instantly lose respect, since this site is where people post poems where they pour out their hearts, and I believe it is not the place for unneccessary rudeness, rather for constructive criticism put in a considerate and well meaning way and balanced way. I am cynical to you because of the above, and being a poet, and likely an emotional person, you should know better.
