Careless Whisper Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 White and grey are what I see in my pastRed and black then appear to me, reaching to me.Let me see.As below, so above and beyond, I imagineTaught by lies of corruption and treason.Close my mind. Let it conceal. Beyond thinking, beyond reasoning that separates mind from body.Tarnishing my intuition. Absent from opportunities, I have beenToo deep in memories far and wide above the horizon. White and grey are what I see in my pastRed and black then appear to me, recollecting me.Let me see, there is so much more.Holding me to my unlimited possibilities.As below, so above and beyond, I imagineThe teaching of lies spread among one plain.Close my mind. Let it conceal the truth. Beyond thinking, beyond reasoning separating my mind from body.Tarnishing my intuition. Absent from dead memories from long ago,Pushing me towards the greater goal. Spare me the guilt and urge me across the line.Reach out to spare the random,Reach out to spare whatever may come. I embrace my desireTo feel the melody, to feel connectedEnough to step up instead of weep like widow.To feel encouraged, to fathom the power,To find the beauty, to drink from the fountain,To glide on the surfaceOf our divinity and still be human. With my feet above the clouds I may lose it allWithin the waves of open air and open sound to listen in.I feel it glaze across my face.I’m reaching out and I’m reaching up.I reach for the random and whatever intrigues meAnd follow the stars and comets; we may go just where no one’s ever been.We’ll ride the spiral to the end and may go just where no one’s beenAnd keep moving on. [spoiler=About the poem]This poem is written in free verse for a very good reason. You see, I have entered a poetry competition and the style they want is known as the "Cynicism Style." Basicly free verse that takes great intelligence to fully understand. This is my rough draft of the poem, so I'll be revising it. I just wanted to post this so you can get alittle head up on exactly how hard it is to understand this poem. This is the first time I've ever attempted cynicism style, and it is extremely difficult.
