Description: My very poor attempt at rhyming. Anyway, I wrote this several months ago at a rather pivotal moment in my life. Luckily, I think I may have pivoted the right way. At least I hope so.
Somewhere Near Shannon -------------------------------------------
Out looking for culture
I wound up empty-hearted;
Don't even know where I am
Trying to see this road and depart it.
Banjos and faeries on the brain
Lost in that slow bleed
from chaos to harmony
I shudder to think where this leads.
Perfections and problems
Argue through imagination
Hazy obstacle or priceless gift
Or just another complication.
Poets I love break my heart
Those living; Those buried.
Did they send me down this road
or did that limp love bear me?
These songs in my head
This voice I hear nightly
I said its name to the air
Still it denied me.
I crucify myself for love
I drive through the night for nothing
I always choose the darkest road
When I know I could be flying.
...It was a attempt at rhyming, It's half and Half.
So, All the words In this poem have meaning to something, or is it added on for abstractness? I do that sometimes,
It's a nice formation of words, summary of it,
a loss of love, and loss of place?
"Banjos and faeries on the brain"
what does this refer to ? just to curious,
Great piece. I'm not a fan of rhyming at all, but you used it very very well here and it gave the piece a lovely flow. The line "I crucify myself for love" was my favorite.
