Truth of the Moon

Member since 2001 · Posted 16 Mar 2002 · 3 comments

You wrote on my brain Can you erase that now? The curtain fell on my show, so I took the seat next to the moon. You used to talk to me sometimes? Problems, addictions, screams The passion of that vital force lived in solitude in a crowd. I made you stay with me as a servant to my cause. A ribbon around the tree of life guarding our only truth.

the last comparison is weak. "a ribbon....guarding" not a heavyweight sentry. This doesn't hang together very well - perhaps the first stanza should be the last?

God damn it why does every third poem I read make absolutely no fucking sense? Lines like 'guarding our only truth' are the fastest way to Hell, my lad.
