I'm leaving this poem I wrote a bit back before I go off on my 1 week vacation ^_^. Enjoy!


Stretch
By Sephyr

Stemming from my imagination,
Tempting;
Exempt from all other creation,
Venting your ignorance on me.

Stretch the roots fromt he ground,
Grinding;
Place the seed in the soil,
Fertilize your monstrous being.

Precise decisions of loathsome feelings,
Burn;
Light the fire again,
From the ashes I will spurn.

Tension builds up in my head,
Grating;
Choose a place of resurrection,
Restart the taunting and hating.

I wish you weren't able to do this to me,
Whiplash;
Hit my face against the mental wall,
I love your feelings as they attack.

I wish you weren't so caring,
Envy;
Makes me look bad,
Makes my load a little more heavy.

Stretch lungs from the chest cavity,
Breatheless;
Puncture the spleen and squeeze,
Painful reminders of helplessness.

If only your life wasn't so feeble,
Worthless;
Stain the white shirt with red,
Paint black on whiteness.

Paint my face,
My home is here at Abyssal Gate.
Pull me away,
Strectch me beyond my grace.

Yay, more Abyssal Gate-praising poetry! Overall, I like it. The format is unique and adds impact, but I don't really care for the way the last stanza is done differently.

Goddammit I hate when I make typos. -_-

You must understand, it's technuically my fault though. When doing my poetry, I sort of go into a trance, so I'm not really looking at the screen or keyboard. I have really good typing skills apparently >_<, but when I'm in this trance I don't have the time to look at the screen and find any mistakes as they are made. I'm usually too lazy to go back through and review for typographical errors, too...so yeah...sorry everyone.

But thanks pd!
