Higher Purpose.

by Natalie   Jun 6, 2008


Unpeel all the layers of my incomplete soul,
And expose my weak embryonic identity,
Submissive to the torrents of the world,
My quest in this life is softly being defined.

This mind will flourish in the face of deceit,
Gaining strength, the ground will be my forte.
These eyes will witness the rise of common man,
With my heart and determination at its very core.

Purple swaying of pink flowers, colours are dead,
The rainbow is a threat to man's heterosexuality.
Love is stabbed, raped and spat on. A true tragedy,
My body is merely a carrier of a superior purpose.

Aging skin warning that time is my only enemy,
Deadline to achieving my duty. Time doesn't wait.
Stroking pens, expressing me, who shall read?
Comfort blinds your eyes, mind, soul and spirit.

    "Unpeel all the layers of my incomplete soul,
    And expose my weak embryonic identity,
    Submissive to the torrents of the world,
    My quest in this life is softly being defined."

    Such strong words and emotion used here. This truly amazed me.

    "Purple swaying of pink flowers, colours are dead,
    The rainbow is a threat to man's heterosexuality.
    Love is stabbed, raped and spat on. A true tragedy,
    My body is merely a carrier of a superior purpose. "

    Your use of imagery was very well shown. And you used point of views of different people. You made me see things in a different light.

    This poem was very good. Great to see things shown in a different way.

    Right from the first line I've fallen in love with this poem.

    Hot damn Nat this poem was bloody brilliant. Each line I have something to say something about it. All the lines are just wonderful. The metaphors you used were wonderful and I could picture what your words were describing.

    Not to mention the meaning of the poem. A true purpose. A chance to change the world. Great topic and you know I wish to do the same.

    I realllly enjoyed the poem about stroking pens and who will read. That snapped the reader out of the trance and went...hey....she's talkin' to me! Lol. Five out five although you deserve much much more.
