You're Too Beautiful To Understand

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Oct 24, 2007


The spray of the sea can caress our face with the lick of salty air;
Cliffs seem to tumble with the clouds, in the event of something fair.
Our lips send chills down our spines and sends the waters crashing against the sand;
If you beckon closely, our hearts will melt in time under the muted direction of your hands.
You can whisper, whisper softly
Into these deaf ears of mine.

Syncopating to the rhythm the night creates for us in event we fall to tender devotion;
A tremble and shake with the tune of the moon behind our hips, will complete our trembling motions.
Salt spits in our face in jealous anticipation to dance with the sea as the stars dance with the moon;
Cliffs seem to tumble with the air in the event we forget to land and the farther I swoon.
I'm falling and it's all in my head
All in my head...
All in my head.

The moon can glance past our mouth and touch us with his understanding finger tips;
Yet if he threatens to steal your breath, I'll have to ask you not to breathe harsh past your lips.
In protest to the harsh tone of reality, the sands are crackling against the wind;
The tides rise in beat with our swaying hips and the greater we've sinned.
They say: you're too beautiful to understand
It's all gone, all gone.

But they say: you're too beautiful to understand
It's all gone
It's all gone.

    Sorry it has taken me so long . I feel terrible . Lol . But here goes another comment . I loved this title ; Because sometimes when you love someone or feel strongly towards them , you see them in a different lite [ Off Topic So Lets Get To Commenting ]

    First : I must say , your words really captivated me in this first stanza ; There is a hint of sarcasm , but it is a lovely sarcasm . I don ' t know how to describe it . But your words . And the story and meaning behind it all just amazes me . You take such a simple emotion and turn it into something beautiful ; I like the way you set the actual stanza up , but one suggestion -- punctuation [ could ] of been added . But we all know , I am a freak about that . Other than that , great opening .

    Second : I liked this stanza . But I feel like a few of your words or even lines could be switched up to make a tad more sense . Hmm . Can ' t really pinpoint any particular one , but you get what I am saying . Anyways , I must say I love the third line . Agh . Beautiful . Another thing , it bugs me , is that your lines flow so smoothly and then you do a long line and the flow kind of cuts off . Not in every case though . Just one in this stanza . Also , the repetition of " all in my head " was okay once , but twice . Erm . It adds a little more effect , but at the same time I don ' t know about it . Lol .

    Third : I will just sum up the rest of the piece . Hmm . I liked it . The whole night scene is in there and that just screams love . Lol . It also sets a storyline and you continued with it in an amazing way ; The way your lines are worded , kind of got on my nerves at first but now it makes sense . They are complex but in a beautiful way ; Just like the subject of the whole poem . So overall , there were minor issues but still a great piece . I personally liked it because it reminds me of my own style .

    So great job hun . Sorry if this one was not as long as the others :[ 5 . 5

    I fear I have a hard time understanding the deeper meaning of your poetry. I'd like to, but I have a hard time with it. (i'm not one for poems about sex before marriage) but anyways, you are good at longer pieces of poetry and you can capture a reader by your brilliant wording. I like that your rhymed in this piece as well. You can also speed a reader, or slow them down with the proper placement.
    So I applaud you for that, and I apologize for my lack of understanding.
