Without Grace
By Alchemist
The pessimist
cage is conspiracy
You'll never galvanize grace
So speech
shall be enslaved
When deathly words are spoke at grave
Voice
loud above the velvet hills
Mountains are confident whispers their
kill
But the shadow that’s cast is still
Greed aglow
with a false nature
Ebb and flow like a virgin suicide
In
a puffy cloud like dress
Up is the bridge and the blue outside
Red lingers around street signs
Cold and pink, while wind seeps
into your bones
Through every crack and dry tingle
Shiver
with a white knuckle grip
Powder loafs around and face starts to
slip
Geometry twinkles and vessel is shrinking
So you need
the rapture of screaming
To wash over you while blinking
In
that instant a sorcery of meaning
But when has it ever been that
easy

LOVE the last line. Ties everything in so well. A lot of the poems i'm reading today have so much to do with how i'm feeling of late. It's like every one leads to another that has to do with the last one or what i've been going through. So true, that first line, as all. i'm an optimist eternal, and i get much shit for it. But who is to say whose world is 'right' and whose world is 'real'. i feel that this poem encapsulates the difference between 'pessimism' and 'reality', and the way pessimists believe that the two are the same. Orrrr...am I looking at this through my own rose~coloured glasses and can't see the true meaning? When has it ever been that easy? ;)

"A rapture of screaming" is an intense image. I loves the last stanza the most. Your work is well worth the read.
