    Aimless Walk...

    Sometimes eternity is around the corner
    And aimless feet seem to find what eyes avoid
    Its puzzling how we ball up our precious time
    Throw away stolen moments we ought to hold dear
    and write off ways to save steps
    Take leaps of faith from the ground
    Faceless shapes swaying in a crowd
    Pacing towards timelessness...
    Mimes in mysts rush hour authors
    stepping pen to pad eyes to the skies
    biding time wasting words...waiting in hope
    Illiterate ties scraping their throats
    Diction disguises worn emblazoned on coats
    Its funny how we all strive for different dreams
    but we sleep on the past where many answers lie
    and we devise ways to reinvent what we never knew already was
    Steadily pushing the envelope on old letters
    Bold go getters stuck in the muck and mire of luck and desire
    A fragile few, struck with fire from within
    and taking strides with a pen
    And as i find a friend in inspiration
    Frustration i take in a step from my destination
    and i drown in puzzled thought
    our relationship no longer afloat
    ...on this troubled walk

    Interesting poetry, Fresh to Death...

    i definitely feel where you're coming from as i writer...you feel more like a spectator sometimes...you find the answers to today's problem in the knowledge of the past, and the same letters used for many hundreds of years find a new life, a new meaning, in the poetry you write...and you share this poetry with a few enlightened minds, blessed to understand where you come from...but by writing about life, you feel somehow distracted from living it maybe...

    my take...

    Thumbs up

    I really felt this piece. I have one thing to tell u though.
    "And as i find a friend in inspiration
    Frustration i take in a step from my destination" Never feel like u have to look for someone or thing to inspire u, the mere fact that u desire to move on makes u ur own inspiration.

    Woooooow, Finally Someone Who Writes Like I Like
    ... Lots A Metaphorical Speach And Creative Wording.

    I REALLY Like This Piece Alot,
    Felt Alot Of Emotion In It, Imagery Could Have Been Stronger
    ... But The Lack Of Was Made Up In Other Aspects.

    "Mimes in mysts rush hour authors
    stepping pen to pad eyes to the skies
    biding time wasting words...waiting in hope"

    Wow Fresh, i have to agree with wat was said this piece was brilliant, i really enjoyed the metaphors here but i think the subtle one u used was in the last few lines "and i drown in puzzled thought
    our relationship no longer afloat
    ...on this troubled walk" man this section really hit me, very dope ending, you're writing is very different each time and i know i already nominated one of your pieces this week but i really like this one too, great job homie, stay up yyou're one of my faves round here
