Tonight...I Feel

by LadyPearl   Nov 9, 2006


Tonight the world will drown in silence
As I awake and pass through your back door
Tonight I will weep the same clear tears
And dream the dreams you store

Tonight I sing the same cold melody
And feel the same thorns buried inside
While I sit beneath the bulbs of heaven
Tonight you'll be my guide

Before this night, I felt nothing but numb
So show me your world and let me see
Why you laugh the way you do sometimes
Even though the end is insanity

Tonight I'll cradle my head around the fire
And read the stories you've read so long
I'll give the warmth a chance to enter my heart
Though I doubt the light will belong

Should I? I shout into a rising mist
Place my emotions on a fragile string
Take the same risks as you have took
To believe and keep on deceiving

What is this love you carve into your walls
Tonight I tried to decipher your strange words
I see so much pain dripping from the paint
Is this that miracle I have heard

Tonight I have embraced upon your life
Feeling, thinking as you have done before
Though I understand now your distress and joy
Your endless love baffles me even more

    Oh, wow. This was...wow. Lol. I honestly could never write like this. With so much passion and emotion and imagery all mixed into one.

    I had no idea what this was about, even though I enjoyed it a lot. =P The flow was great, the imagery was...wow...and the rhymes were excellent. I didn't find anything cliche at all. And I liekd all the emotion and descriptions you put into this. It was well thought out and well written. Great job. =) 5/5 xoxo

    Hmmm, very different. very different.
    this poem seems really mysterious and it makes the reader take a second to think, which is a very rare talent. I thought you started out really strong, and it really made me want to read on and see what happens, but i felt that the vibe of mysterious and curiosity was weakening as the poem went on.
    "Tonight the world will drown in silence

    -those were my favorite lines, and it sounded like you were about to tell a scary story, which instantly caught my attention. it looks to me you've hit a home run, and its a tie, 5:5.
