5 parts of me

by Georgi   Oct 28, 2006


Have you ever seen the sky and wondered where it starts?
The incessant, fragile canvas round the world,
In daylight, it's misleading; Placed in broken, separate parts,
At night, a gentle blanket is unfurled.

I can be the daylight, two colours, two reflections,
Lie in weakened beauty, split in half.
If her, I shall have splendour, no sheen of imperfections,
Coupled with infectious, hidden laughs.

I can be the darkness, one colour, one emotion,
One fear of losing people I adore,
If her, my world is slow. Moving backwards in slow motion,
Trembling even harder than before.

I can be the line that keeps the sky above you,
Compressed beneath your fragile, aching feet,
The girl who stands below, lifting up to help you through,
The girl that lives to make you feel complete.

I can be the mystery, the life beneath the clouds,
The gleaming, frightened light that's scared to show,
Don't question my existence; I'm there among the crowd,
Just too quiet for your selfish heart to know.

I could be the star you look at late at night,
If you love me for the mess that I can be,
I can walk away, out of terror, pain, or spite,
But I'll be more than what your eyes will choose to see.

    I loved it.
    The flow was flawless and the rhyming didn't seem forced.
    Keep it up 5/5

    Hey,
    I really enjoyed this poem. It made me think. Instantly the first line of the poem, "Have you ever seen the sky and wondered where it starts?" make you acctually wonder, where does it start? Where does the entire universe start? It brings into question these things that we do not know. Things that scientist do not know. Some thing no one knows. I guess it beyound human intelligence, Lol! Anyways the poem as a whole had a great flow, and the rhyme's worked and didnt seem forced. I liked how you satarted all the stanza's excluding the introduction with "I can be the...", this really made the flow good. A very intresting poem. I really liekd it. To improve it i suggest you use a more variety of punctuation. Otehr then that a great read. keep it up! xx
