Die Peacock Green

by Fig   Nov 9, 2005


Dyed peacock green
Rain sight unseen
Old hidden blood on show
That midnight shot
Dead colours clot
Speak seeking of the crow

When all is night
Light looses sight
And blindly falls again
Hot darkness rank
Closed cloudy dank
Sleek seeping from the pain

Die peacock green
Rain might have seen
Forbidden blood on show
My hidden shot
Dead colours clot
Sick spinning from the blow

Thrice dipped in night
Mind looses sight
And blindly falls again
Both bodies rank
My bed sheets dank
Seek sleeping from the pain

Dyed peacock green
Rain sight unseen
Old hidden blood on show
That midnight shot
Dead colours clot
Black spinnaker or crow

(for those who like to know the meanings of a poem and have it obivous, i will explain in detail exactly what happens in this one. basicly its about a girl who used to self-harm, but stopped (old hidden blood) basically she became depressed again she was crying (rain sight unseen) and shot herself in the middle of the night (that midnight shot) which also refers to her drug abuse. she bled all over the green carpet (dyed peacock green) and basicly the message behind it, is dont misunderstad how bad things are, sometimes it may look like death is all but there are other ways (black spinnaker or crow) crow is basicly a reference to death, a spinnaker is a sail, refresents freedom. sounds morbid but actually has an upbeat message, sortof.)

    If anyone else wants to know, this poem is about going mad and then commiting suicide. cheerfu huh? if you read it with that in mind you can pick up all the clues and stuff. im sorry tis soo cryptic, i just dont like the theme of my poems to be obviously evident all the time. and ot means people can interpret it how they like. they can make the theme of the poem wat they want. hope you liked it
