A Coma In-Between

by The Queen of Spades   Jan 29, 2007


I wish we could fall into a coma
Sink into the center of the earth
Back to the wombs of the beginning
Where we were first given birth

I wish dawn would never come
That the sun would always be set
And our hearts would conjoin
Like lovers who have just met

I wish all breathing stood still
And all the world would be quiet
That there could be no sound
Against it all, we'd defy it

I wish I could capture the essence
Of life, water, dirt, and air
Along with the understanding of all
Justice, peace, pain, unfair

I wish we could open our eyes
And simply see straight ahead
Rise from the center of the earth
Somewhere between alive and dead

    Wow, very powerful poem, truly greatly written. The flow is excellent, and the wording is also very good.
    My favorite stanza is:
    -I wish I could capture the essence
    Of life, water, dirt, and air
    Along with the understanding of all
    Justice, peace, pain, unfair-

    I like the imagery that you created very much, it is captivating.
    Keep up, 5/5 from me

    Hmm, this wasn't a very intensely written dark poem. I didn't get the chills I would normally get, but there was still some darkness within this one. It seemed more like a cold, calm tone, which is a bit different, but I liked it. So well done.
