Where are the extremes of man?
Where in the combinations of souls
our manifold attributes
do we find measure
of our limits?

Trying to predict accurately
our ultimate boundaries
is an act transcendent of art
Approaching complete knowledge

Her eyes went cold
like spheres of ice,

She slipped away,

Her skin glowed white

Even before you conceive and bear your own,
you can carry the mission.
You can live your life as that of a parent--

you would tell your children not to do.
Not doing those things which you could

To a horrific truth.
It's not my voice ,

They say I tell a story well
though I'd rather not live each tale.
Each minute history, teeming with mystery
uncovers a moment I'd rather leave veiled.

If my words leave the audience pleased
perhaps enchanted, enthralled and enthused,
they've stolen a portion (emotional abortion)
of myself that has only been partially used. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (identityxcrisisx) http://postpoemsmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/1196 Sat, 17 Apr 2004 22:42:37 GMT <![CDATA[ Life After Life ]]> http://postpoemsmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/1190/t/Life-After-Life.html
Frozen in place,
cold solid crystals of a lonely world.
Subjected to the inevitable,
terror krept into thy shattered life.

It seemed almost harmless,
but reality spoke.
Tears kept at bay,
awaiting only the day.

Crest fallen,
forsaken is the soul.
Bribed by the warmth,
the cold to pretend.
Forever is the night,
the darkness to devour what is left.

We will go on never forgetting that one fateful day.

In afternoon light
The black and the white
Emblazoned the floor
And spelt out her mind
In small ciphers.

Her pawn to C3
Spoke quite clearly to me;
Step by small step,
Wiht long looking and thinking,
She captured.

As I thought over tea
And an afternoon snack,
She did for us both with her plan of attack. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (DI) http://postpoemsmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/1205 Sat, 10 Apr 2004 04:25:13 GMT <![CDATA[ exist to be existed (unfinished) ]]> http://postpoemsmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/1202/t/exist-to-be-existed-unfinished-.html simple but you don't listen,

yet still you search for explanation,

Tiny droplets,
Of tears and rain.
Blood-red, crimson,
- Hurt and pain.

Lovely linens,
Stained with harm -
Cover twisted legs,
And cut up arms.

Dusty cobwebs,
And blood splattered brick,
Form mental snapshots,
That scare you sick.

Shears of silver,
Molded scars from flesh.
And satin caskets,
Become gothic mesh.

The musky scent

Teeth were bared and sword was swung.
Eyes glared, hatred flared.
Death would come to one of them tonight.

They simply knew that they were foes
