Poem Commentary

I was trying to go to sleep and the first few lines would not stop thundering in my head. So, I got up to write them down really fast and next thing I knew I had an entire poem. Even though this is pretty light in comparison to most of my stuff, it still comes from a *really* dark place. Don't let the pretty words fool you.

Happily Ever After

embark on a journey with me
of freezing winds and stormy sea
where fairies hide among the glades
and jesters dance with razor blades


come see a castle that reaches the sky
where sparrows sing and bluejays fly
the entrance entrenched by brambles sharp
but in the corner a lonely harp

a shred of hope now lost to fear
and stormclouds linger throughout the year
a house once divided, now asleep
listen closely and hear the angels weep

come see this land, a holy land
maybe then you'll understand
a world that's ruled by firce and ice
where nothing comes without it's price


where maidens can't scream loud enough
for knights to hear their crying
and in between their broken silence
philosophies lay dying

a world of beauty now turned to stone
forgotten saints and devils known
lie in wait amidst the stars
while truth expires behind these bars

it sounds much like the chambers of my soul...the memories of drunken nights...the making love...and many fights...could this be...a painted picture just for me?

kinder scrarely in this land........just like the world we live in and the streets we walk on .......

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
