Lithium

by Normal is the Watchword   Jun 14, 2008


'Til light blends in the midst of night,
And bends beyond mirror glass walls,
A silent pen drips from my hand,
Drips remnants of my former scrawl,
With a lingering whisper of Lithium.

    Oh and by the way...i love evanescence. she's the vitality and beacon of music, period. without her voice, my soul would wither. the title was appropriate too. kudos to you! hugs

    I loved the description of the pen dissolving in your hand and the texture you created from your dripping words speaking softly and fluid in your ear. incredible ability to transform a solid object into hauntingly beautiful imagery and texture. brilliant write. 5/5

    After reading 3 of your poems and comment on the first I felt decidedly sad and after reading you profile wonder how a young woman of your age had not written one word of joy, I know your thing! Yet there is so much love, joy and happiness in our world try it. Maybe you are one of the few unlucky ones who wallows in sadness and gloom. I love life to much to stay in a place without warmth especially when a poet obviously has so much talent. Try happiness as it really does make life worth the effort whereas gloom drags you down with itself.

    Wow. This was short. I really expected it to be longer, but maybe you're still working on it..? Anyways, it was still wonderfully written. It -almost- reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe's writings. The haunting atmosphere filled with despair.

    `` This last part is my favorite, because I got the feeling that it's about writing poems [or something] about past depression or troubles, and I could definitely relate to that. Or maybe it's not about that at all, and I'm only bending your words to give me the sense that it's somehow about me. I tend to do that sometimes.

    But, I liked this. Your word choice was amazing.

    Keep writing!
