Fingerprints

by Idiosyncratic   Nov 12, 2005


Vaguely specific
Are the words of our own
Torn, tattered, horrific
No pretenses of home

A lonely perfume
A scent of defeat
Bruised necks, scarred wrists
Lips curved in deceit

Straight lines
Marching coins
Too different, unique
Too late to rejoin

Fingerprints of descendants
Melted and blank
Reaching for the fire
Tripping on the plank

Simply they say
Thinking too much
Racing, and winning..
But needing just a touch

Almost perfect
Basked in delight
Transforming beauty
This disobedient plight

    This poem was good. I didn't find it as detailed as other poems I've read by you, and I felt as though it was missing something... It was still a great poem. I could definitely feel the emotion you put into it. nice work!
