Quote of the day:
The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy.
-Alfred North Whitehead
I do not like the way you stare at me.
With those wild eyes.
I do not like the way you look.
With those dark clothes.
I do not like the way you love.
Empty feeling and emotions.
I do not like the way you are.
A stranger hiding in the dark.
With those wild eyes.
I do not like the way you look.
With those dark clothes.
I do not like the way you love.
Empty feeling and emotions.
I do not like the way you are.
A stranger hiding in the dark.
What would i like?
I would like to....
Think with your thoughts.
Watch with your eyes.
Love with your heart.
Escape with your body.

Deep. The persona does not like "the way you stare at me with those wild eyes"; "the way you look with those dark clothes"; they way you are. A stranger hiding in the dark". And yet the persona would like to "think with your thoughts"; "watch with your eyes"; "love with your heart" etc etc. It is all so paradoxical. It's almost as if the only reason the persona does not like 'these' is because he/she cannot personalise them yet.
ReplyDeleteNana Yaw Asiedu: I applaud your indepth analysis-i see you saw past through the contradictions.
ReplyDeleteGood one bro!
Hmmm...
ReplyDeletereminds me of a line from the movie 'baby boy'

NIce

ReplyDeleteanother nice peace me dear!
Nice one bruv..Your words are always on point..love ya!
ReplyDeleteI feel the poem. i am tempted to ask, what's your muse, what inspires all these pretty poems
ReplyDeleteI like the poem.....when you're drawn to something you dont understand and don't necessarily like, you should try to find out whats underneath it.... Anyway your poem got me wanting to reply...like Walter Raleigh's reply to Christopher Marlowe's "Passionate Shepherd...." you may know it, since you like poetry... anyway... here you go.
ReplyDeleteI hate the way you turn away
When I try to meet your eyes
I do not like that look you get
When your gaze falls on my clothes
I do not like the way you think
My love is not profound
I do not like that to you I’m still
A stranger in the dark
More than anything
I just want you
To Look into my mind
See the world through my eyes
Feel the love that fills my heart
And possess my body like it is yours.
