A poem I scribbled


Pandoren

Recommended Posts

A poem based on my thoughts at the moment-

I am a woman,

It’s what I’ve always known,

Haven’t you seen me in my dresses,

Striding under the summer sun?

Playing with the flowers,

Smiling at the butterflies as they drift through the sky,

Laughing and playing with the long locks that flutter in the breeze,

I am and always was.

After so long, I thought I understood,

I had a plan, I knew myself,

The pathway in front of my mind was clear,

If only I could take the steps.

My house was alone with just my dreams,

But I knew every corner there,

Until I found the door that was locked,

But why locked?

There I thought I heard you,

A voice upon the wind,

I bent my thoughts to you, puzzled,

Trying to learn your secret.

I guess I tried too hard,

I thought you were a part of myself I should understand,

Maybe that door was locked for a reason.

The search found the key that fit,

The young woman turned the handle,

And let the demon in.

I can’t hear you calling any more,

That voice that was so far away now speaks through newfound lips,

The eyes see such childish things,

The purple and pink of an infant,

Cynical of the skirts and dresses of female vanity,

I released you and you needed a home,

You took over my body and possessed my soul.

I don’t know if I can fight you,

Or even if we want to,

You are strong and maybe you could be better for this body,

Than the weak fool who has kept it thus far,

There cannot be two queen bees in the same hive,

And so not two minds in the same head,

We disagree so much and yet I feel how you are,

Like a mixture in a beaker left upon a window sill,

Once whole and yet now separating,

Two halves so potent, so different,

Who are you?

The door is open,

There is no voice on the wind any more,

We are you…

Second to last line: I think it'd sound better if you cut cut out the and between 'laughing and playing' and change 'that flutter' to fluttering.

After so long, I thought I understood,

I had a plan, I knew myself,

The pathway in front of my mind was clear,

If only I could take the steps.

My house was alone with just my dreams,

But I knew every corner there,

Until I found the door that was locked,

But why locked?

There I thought I heard you,

A voice upon the wind,

I bent my thoughts to you, puzzled,

Trying to learn your secret.

'But I knew every corner there' take out the 'But'. Take out the 'But' in 'But why locked?'

I guess I tried too hard,

I thought you were a part of myself I should understand,

Maybe that door was locked for a reason.

The search found the key that fit,

The young woman turned the handle,

And let the demon in.

'I thought you were a part of myself I should understand'...perhaps to I thought you were apart of me that I should understand. 'That voice that was so far away now speaks through newfound lips,' to That voice once (very?) far away, now speaks through newfound lips'

I don’t know if I can fight you,

Or even if we want to,

You are strong and maybe you could be better for this body,

Than the weak fool who has kept it thus far,

There cannot be two queen bees in the same hive,

And so not two minds in the same head,

We disagree so much and yet I feel how you are,

Like a mixture in a beaker left upon a window sill,

Once whole and yet now separating,

Two halves so potent, so different,

We are you…

'And so not two minds in the same head' to 'And nor two minds for the same head'

Seriously, much better than I anticipated. They way you've talked about your writing, I was expecting something rather low grade. Good stuff.

:P I'm no poet, it was just something I wrote quickly because I felt like it :P

Thanks though
