Long-legged

by FenderGrl   Nov 26, 2010


The way you held an opinion,
and the way you've always labeled me.
I've always let myself drift beyond my will because of you...

And I would let myself be fallen by your long legs; with a pain in my neck from looking up at you...
I would let myself believe I was nothing but naught-- nothing but the dirt on your feet.

After so long I saw you; walking down as if the world was yours.
And I know that expression; I can almost savor your mentation so very clearly.
I've accomplished to acknowledge that you're noncrusial;
And as far as your judgments; you're nothing finner.

I'm doing extraordinarily well; with my car and my new job.
And that is enough harm for your little eyes.

And you can't scathe my heart;
you can't rupture brick walls with your velvet wrist.
I've sprung up and I'm long-legged; tall enough to break your neck from looking up.

    Thank you so much for your words.
    And it's interesting that you compared my poems to song lyrics...
    I actually sing and play the guitar,
    but for some reason i can't put my poems into melodies..
    but I love writting poems, singing, and playing the guitar.
    And I understand exactly what you mean.
    Sometimes I go back to my oldest poems, and I ask myself "what does this mean?"
    I cant remember why I wrote some of them, and what inspired me-- but they meant something when they were written =)
    Thank you so much for your kind words.

    I love this concept of "long-legged." It's a fresh image that packs a punch. After looking at a few of your other poems, it seems like they read like song lyrics. Do you tend to set them to music? It's interesting thinking about how that could alter the flow of a poem.

    Some of the images in this poem are a little unclear to me - they sound nice, but I can't figure out what they mean. It's not your job to enlighten everyone, though.

    The last two phrases are the strongest, fitting with the tone of the whole poem, and a fabulous way to end.
