Do you like this poem? Tell me what you think?

Question

Lists continue to grow

of the color that's turned into

a shade darker than its center,

radiating through the gaps of lies sown

leaking through the permanent answer, the answer already known.

Blindly the cycle lays its head down

Upon the looming fear, that it is

Going nowhere.

Cover it with a shadow,

Tuck it into the fallen corners

Of the lie that succeded

In leaving bliss a distant myth.

Can't you find the problem

Buried beneath the surface,

Grown roots into every vein,

Pulsing in your absent body

And if you cut those roots,

that spiral out from the center,

then your body is nothing

but the emptiness rotting.

Answer 1

Very deep and beautiful poem. For me it represents the single feeling- a disappointment.

If you cut the memories that were lies anyway, you are left with nothing but merciless emptiness that gives far greater pain.

Answer 2

like death masked said, it's very beautiful. i think it's wonderful and is very real...

Answer 3

That was so dark and beautiful, I kept picturing a body with roots in veins and it was just a beautiful image. I love poems that make a picture in my mind, those are always the best ones.  Very beautiful.
