Broken Dreams

by ADyingProphet   Apr 15, 2008


Pollinated zephyrs dancing under
the scarlet cirrus of the morning sky.
A Casanova lies on a broken bed,
listening to an unfettered harlot's hymn.
The citrine iris of a wolf crooning
the morns of a waning moon.
Piano timbre obsolete-
indistinct pools of tears
have destroyed the keys endeavors.
Artists isolated by the censor,
Poets lyrics tacit, ensuing emotional strife.
Musicians oblivious to the splendor,
of their euphoric creations.
A child's virtue mute
in the fields of Elysium.
Utopia desiring a social asylum.
Anarchy futile for entirety lies in turmoil.
All that is sought has been brought by naught.
Broken footprints in the sand impedes
running to the shores of insular souls.
The king's eyes aghast in despair
as he looks upon the horde of
conflagration and pitchforks.
Mortality standing on the precipice
as the friable halo of innocence
balances on it.

    I love the intensity and movement in this poem. Every line seems like a new scene. As a lit. student, I truly appreciate complex poetry that I can pick apart, line by line, and attempt to figure out. However, you can read all of my true feelings about this poem in my little six paragraph rant in a reply to your post on the request to read discussion board.

    Amazing piece - I absolutely am thrilled with it.

    This is absolutely amazing. Your choice of words is simply superb, truly stunning and I think that you portrayed the whole message of this poem excellently. You shouldn't change anything here, whole poem is brilliant. I am in awe, you truly have a way with words and your vocab is amazing.
    You painted pictures within words in each line which is truly remarkable and I admire the depths of this poem.
    I read this piece twice and tried to find favorite lines to highlight in the comment but this is so original and powerful from the beginning to the end.
    Excellently done,5/5 from me.
