I wrote this and I'm curious to see how people interpret it.

Despite some of the words used, it isn't about an alcoholic. But something else. 10 points for the right answer too. Though if someone else connects to it on that level, it isn't a bad thing. That's the beauty of art. It means something different to every individual.

- Intoxication -

Five razors on each hand.

Masterpiece in the rotting.

Mind tangled within mania.

Everything means nothing.

His soul is intoxicated.

And he smells of nothing.

A pain, so grand, so deep.

It's not just him anymore.

Beakless birds peck.

Rainbows are black.

The world, the woman.

A war he fights alone.

Underneath a vile blanket.

And beyond cold breath.

I still see him, feel him.

Before his drunken ways.

  1. I'm not sure...but what comes to mind, is that this man is an alcoholic, abusive towards his wife?  Maybe he has killed her, or he has passed away, and she is either reminiscing on her life or remembering him how he was?


  2. hmm..The Dark Lord?

  3. im not sure wat its really about, probably war or dark emotions, but i really like it, nice job ^.^

  4. Yeah ,,it's like we say sometimes,,," she is my girlfriend for a long time now,,but she does'nt know it yet.

  5. to me its sounds a lil bit like suicide but when i read further its as if its  a love poem, i.e someones in love with someone they wish they were with but cant be with that perosn for whatever reason.

  6. I think it is about a girl looking upon a man with depression who committed suicide.

  7. Just a perception , mind you. More of a person feeling trapped in a body they feel dis-engaged to. Oh what is the term for one who feels trapped in a body of what they preceive to be wrong s*x, wrong color, either for their own liking or for that of the person who they gave their heart to.

  8. Vietnam veteran.  I married him.

  9. to me i think it is a emo emotional poem and ummmmm suicude and stuff
