Poem Commentary

Was listening to Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd... This is what came of it.... "Drew" the "picture" just after I wrote the poem.

Do You Understand When I Say...

Blacked out, I try to understand the lie. I can fly

I see a long broken and confused, so used, I cry.

Angel of beauty and love, of lust you trust... I must

Bellyaches and twitching eyes of restless movements, lost

The cost of loyalty betrayed from trustworthy vows of doubt

Far consuming, releasing, a deep lethargy of peace within, without

Cry pit about your doubts, find out they express nothing, meaningless

Drivelings of madmen’s reasons too profound to express, but I digress

I scream

I want

I dream

I... Want...

But do I need?

Do I breathe?

Do I have enough to buy the right to cry?

Wordless emotion, condemning those who comprehend. Die

Nomenclature on the highest level, too poor to be heard

Simple words, too rich to earn. They don’t care about words, anymore

Hear me, I have something to say. Rich of gold in weight

Mean absolutely everything today

Nothing today. Nothing to be had. God, I was had

Too bad, so sad, so lost. Loss without. So mad

Separated by words. Us. Them. You. Me.

Drowning in happiness passed it’s expiration date: Eternity

Convulsions and spasms. Crying without tears. Don’t care, it’s all the same

But, still, I would rather not have to ache

The piano draws me in. It understands. It can

I can. I will. No plans to fail. Let down. Do not run... You ran...

“Down and out.” Words of doubt. Fighting about

I understand. I know without words... “With... Without”
Ever calling. Drowsy. Sleep will come. Never come.

Question sleep. Weep for the music that is within dreams

Tears on a solo, I cannot describe how it died.

Fly

Where?

Nowhere

Out there

They don’t care for meaningful drivel of Madmen

Insane woman. Faces on paper, laying on ground. An end

For my lunatic is my mind, my head, Great fake of Man

We hate, we love, we want to live for forever

And still you don’t understand when I say... What-the-fuck-ever

I felt alot of anger and then a level of yourself feeling annoyed and saying fuck it! I can realte because ive written wrok like that in the past. I often saw my self repeating the title of your poem at the begining of many lines to help guide me through the poem and to try to disect and add further meaning in which i must admit i dont fully understand. But thats the beauty and the curse of our poetry isnt it? As reader we never truly know if the poem was intended to be disected, or meant to have multiple meanings that only the poet knows. :)

Very nice prodigy...you have grown so much. It brings a smile to my face, forgive the short length of this comment, but I decided to tone down my efforts to truly divulge myself in every facet of someone's poem and just keep it too myself...but you know how I am and how I feel, if I comment then it is fantastic....

I have missed your comments greatly, altair, dear. Thought only tone down your efforts to describe what you see in my poetry if you feel you should, though, mayhap I should mention that I do truly enjoy them. Thank you so much for you comment, love. Always appreciated!!!!

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.
