I am no one. Never nobody

What I fear is not here

It’s my heart, they say

That’s a start

When I look

I see the apparition

Someone that looks

Like me forced to his knees

Moved by vanity to stay

Not to understand the void

Not getting better

No fucking good

The wounds a gift

A pleasure I exist

Rune of mystery

A haunting of despair

Nobody can hold such beauty

And a hatred of the new

unless

you are present at your dying

It's a bit enigmatic for me too on first go too but definitely worth the read,  I was struck by the distinction you draw in the first line, no one not nobody.

cheers catherine, I often wish I knew what I was talking about. I was trying to emphasise body (and not mind, or something like that) can't remember.

I think that's what poems do. Instinctive not literal. It definitely gives the feeling of someone facing and not facing what we all have to face! See how I avoided saying it literally!!

Dark and interesting. My perception is a Soul who does not want to go over/die from this world, as he/she is scared to death what his penalty will be...as he/she actions have been evil. (Probably wrong though) Then again Dorian Grey comes to mind. I like it! Thought provoking. Lots of interpretation's. Clever! Flows well. Mind blowing, but, good.

Not knowing what you're talking about helps others to sort you out... maybe. I'm no poet, but enjoyed this.

HI CM

 

I like the dry rather dark humour.
