Music

Painting on pure nothingness
colors escaping
filled with bliss.
Maybe even screeching sounds,
but this art is all around.

It takes its grip and
holds us tight,
Making sure we’re in
the light.

Then it shatters,
blowing up!

A thousand pieces
become abrupt.
A sudden stop
and they fade away,
music filling,
we begin to sway.

In the beat were in a trance.
It’s impossible,
we begin to dance.
Step right here,
twirl to there,
a blur of clothes,
a wash of hair.

Different colors mixing in,
the sound is bright,
the colors dim.
Then without even
a quick good-bye
it disappears into the night…

Our happiness here is all vain glory,
This false world is but transitory,
The flesh is weak, the Fiend is slee
Timor mortis conturbat me.

Thankies Max! ^_^ I think you're right, "night" as the ending word does sound better. Plus, it makes it so the imagry would fade into black and not white, which is sort of what I was trying to go for, but I was just to excited to post it because it came out so easily for me to write. Just a random burst of insparation I guess.

Hey! I love this poem!

Painting on pure nothingness
colors escaping
filled with bliss.

I love how nothingness and bliss rhyme, I never thought of using the word nothingness in any sentence. haha

A thousand pieces
become abrupt.
A sudden stop
and they fade away,
music filling,
we begin to sway.

This is a very good paragraph, you can kind of feel it...if you know what I mean? With the "music filling" and everyone starting to dance somehow makes it feel nice. hah. Because of that, this is my favorite paragraph in the poem.

I agree with October Girl on using "night" instead of light".

Once again, I love this poem! Ah! Haha. It 'paints a picture' inside my head and has a nice flowing rhythm to it.

:D

you must be musical. I live music and i can tell that you know how it feels to be that completely absorbed in the rhythm and harmony. You capture it well with the colours and fleetingness that reminds me of tunes and themes that disappear and then return again.
I was wondering if perhaps it would be better if you varied some of the lengths of the lines. Just by keeping some of the sentences less broken up. You could just try it and if you don't like it then leave it how it is. Its always annoying when someone tells you it WILL be better if you do this when it doesn't feel right to you that way so just experiment.
But I really liked it, well done!

I liked this poem :D
I think it is very cleverly written. It also has a very confident and well crafted metre; which is easy on the eye.

Then it shatters,
blowing up!

Could you use a full stop instead of a comma. Because they are not part of the same sentence really. Or a hyphen would be nice.

A thousand pieces
become abrupt.

Abrupt can't really be used to in this way - it is an adjective not a noun.

Different colors mixing in,
the sound is bright,
the colors dim.

Love this imagery, and the juxtaposition of senses was very clever.


Nice one! :D

Aw....omg! This is really good! I only have one thing to say:

I don't think this is in the right place. The music stops, then "we begin to dance." Then it stops again. Put the dancing first, have us imagine it, and then shatter it in our faces. It gives your poem more impact.

Very well written, Kitty!! PM me if you have anything else you put up!

"isn't it supposed to be like this? the glory of first love, and all that. it's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?"---twilight



The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
