Madrigal Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 What do you hide, titan? Is there a criminal inside One so slippery, so translucent That even his dark soul bears no resemblance In your transparent windows? Is there evidence of murder In your colored face, Or are your arms stained With the blood from the criminal?s case? Are you the shelter for orphans Or homeless souls that would otherwise wander The streets of New York Or work the corners of Denver? Or are you empty, Are your walls web-ridden And white-washed Like my soul? Or are you full of trinkets, Of old books and photographs of a wasted childhood And outgrown clothes and worn-sole shoes Like my soul? Or are you the reflection Of countless souls. Of those who travel without destination. Are you simply a spatial metaphor? Link to comment
DesDownunder Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Maddy, your poems are thoughtful and very thought provoking. You draw images in words and phrases that just make me want to sit back and wallow in the luxury of their richness. Hidden in the words are powerful meanings ready to be examined many times. You have a great talent. Link to comment
