    • February 5th, Friday morning, purple dawn... A moment like a poem, you wish you could hold it... I shut my eyes like it's frozen... it's gone when I open...

    12:15
    I have to keep the world beneath me...
    Because its that that I'm sinking in.
    My head over the emotions...
    That I'm drowning in.
    Words you speak, spinning perfectly...
    I watch you trying to talk to me.
    I've finally perfected my numbing.
    A screwed version of humanity,
    A corrupt world...
    Holding on to nothing.
    I look at life...
    It's an empty drum.
    No secret, no love...
    One hand is untying me...
    The other shooting the gun.
    Who knows what time it is,
    Or who's calling.
    Looking down this crooked path...
    The past is a ghost.
    Never letting me go...
    I feel it in my thoughts.
    Every time I breathe...
    I believe in God.
    Still it haunts me...
    My world will always be 12:15.

    As much as I enjoy writing deeply personal, and cryptic poetry, I enjoy reading even more. There's no need for detailed exposition so long as the emotional content bleeds through, and this one does just that, and flawlessly.

    i am right there with you, reading it, even though its sad, it releases your pain.. brings happiness. thank you very much. this is a very important poem to me. i lost two people on that day. and as death does, its haunting

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
