Poem Commentary

I've developed that maybe I have no heart. Just an empty space. Another night of fantasy.

Leading Phantom

Am I special?

I think to myself

Is there a worth to living?

My life is endless

So many years to myself

Years of silence

Cut like a knife

Into this empty space

For there is no heart

Empty space

Blackest place

In which a heart should be

Longing to love

These many nights

Senses fail

Rely upon nothing

Eye to eye

We understand

One another

Graceful beast

Spin from my hand

Circles

Circles

Neverending circles

Count our shoulders

My arm over thee

Keep your chin up

Lilac eyes

A scent there too long

Smokey room

Beautiful red walls

Blood-stained windows

Oh the thought

The thought of blood

Gentle and caressing

Blood so smooth

Imagine

Dead in my arms

Lifeless eyes

Drive me mad

Ooze and fall

Drip and drop

So pretty

This liquid

Scarlet

Warm

Flowing through

An empty void

Again, holding thee

It falls

Reflect in the sun

Palest skin

Fancy to touch

Hold you up

Up to the sky

Give you there

My lullaby

 

 

The world may not believe in thee

Dear princess, listen, here, to me

Dark and gloom may leave you blue

Remember, remember, I will love you

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.
