...Medley of Resonance

By SolApathy

I was at an end
My writing does descend
Into the wicked depths
Beyond care, darkness, and death
Twisting words into concerti of sorrows
From the darkest recesses I borrow
Knowing I could never return to who I wanted to be
I smile as these words provide others meaning
Even as I knew myself- I was deceiving
Unable to feel more than gloom
Infinity of the darkness bloomed
Chaotic medley of hues beyond the obscure
Melting into a Crayola symphony of pallid dreams
I understand now-- I become in writing
The melody of a long-forgotten song
Stimulating your bitter-sweet visions
Remembrance of that once wonderful time
A resonance of dreams to calm your broken mind

They have always said that "honesty is the best policy", but sometimes it really isn't. So before I go rambling again, I'll say that you did an excellent job, dearest. Rebs:).

    I love it! loooooove it! Your ending punches with the words, not the pause. Down with pause! Anti-pause! Weight of the words brings this to a close in a symphony of chaos. Rounding all the loud vibrant pieces with a tidy little bow. Yay! Crayola pallid dreams. Love it.

    Sorry, just a request so don't expect too many without "..." it is part of the rhyming style, and how the last word rhymes with the line that is 2 lines up from the final word. I appreciate the criticism, as always :) and enjoy writing this poem! I will surely write more like this :þ
