"-Curved Yet Straight-" by Emily Kirsch

SciFi/Fantasy text 7 out of 34 by Emily Kirsch. ←Previous - Next→

I couldn't begin to explain this poem. It was done on impulse and nothing more.

←- -curtains- | Sculptées Larmes -→

Curved Yet Straight

I am she of wilted sorrow
Quilted morrow
Yestersday’s thought
I am her of darkened winters
Painful splinters
Irony taught.

She is she of tattered flower
Future’s hour
Quixotic flame
She is her of summer’s raining
Sweetly shaming
Ne'er became.

He is he of chaos-rival
Haste survival
Cynical love
He is him of malice brewing
Death ensuing
Corrupted dove.

We are we of paranoia
Sick plethora
Lustful crave
We are them that bring together
He she nether
Emotions cave.

I am me not he she or we
Tremulous flee
My rhyme – life – ends
I am I and ever will I
Extinguish my sigh
The straight line bends.

7 Jan 2001	Erik	Loading... As I can't put a WOW comment here (at least it says so right above this box) I am just going to sit here and look at my screen. 'The straight line bends'..if something/someone dies they can no longer stand upright. That could be an explanation, but why would you want to explain something like this? It is clearly a work of emotion, not of thought. Compliments.
21 Mar 2001	Karina	Loading... laughs delightedly Perfect . . . I love the piece. It's a riddle, of sorts. The kind of a thing a king's fool would say before a shocked and shocking audience.
29 Mar 2001	John Teall	Loading... arctypes wrestling like empassioned lovers with mostly innocent inaccuracies of cultural perception ... ~
30 Mar 2001	James K Bowers	Loading... The rhyme pattern works extremely well in this poem (even with the raining/shaming near-rhyme)... An interesting, if somewhat enigmatic, poem... Gets my "stamp of approval" for what its worth...
17 Apr 2001	R.K. Vegh ~~ Trulance	Loading... I may have only seconds ago written about your style being alike to mine. Strike that comment, please, it isn't true. I could not write this, and as I find myself saying often enough in the woods, lately, I only wish I were capable of this. Let me envy you from a distance.
6 May 2001	Renee Rossi	Loading... I... woah. points accusingly at the poem it slapped me! Oh, yeah, I forgot to read it again. It's asking what I'm doing making a comment when I could be reading it again.
28 May 2001	Stacey Pitsillides	Loading... oooooooooooohhh.... I love this poem... why can't I write poetry as good as this?! WHY!? *Falls over @_@
1 Aug 2001	Anna 'Sorrow' Vanclova	Loading... ' I am her of darkened winters.. ' this makes sense.. .. Though as a whole I didn't like this piece.. the Harmony is nice, but most of them are meaningless when pronounced together.. Sorry if I'm cruel or something, but I shall say the bad parts, as I see the beatiful ones, too.. It still holds special but lonely lines.. ' I am she of wilted sorrow.. '
26 Feb 2002	Jaime Coates	Loading... This makes me think of the need to be more than what you are, and yet the wish to fade from sight in times of horrid trouble. Simply Lovely.
