~ Secrets From The Womb ~
I embrace the secrets from my youth
With an unexpected ease
A childish tear rolls down on me
As if to admonish me, for my empathy
So, I curl myself up, as if in the womb...
Glistening mahogany, a sterile wood
My room, without the anger downstairs
Without the crazy moments, of blood everywhere
Without the heavy silences, or the broken chairs
I curl myself up, as if, misunderstood...
I place my arm beneath the running water
The razor slices my skin, so smooth it opens
I pray this quick sting will quell my emotions
Behold, a floating fetus, in a pool of red lotion
So, I curl myself up, as if in the womb...
Potential am I, in a comfortable bed unborn
An amoebic resemblance to quantum potential
A lonely entity, to enter a world even stranger
A slippery intruder, hiding from fear and danger
And so, I unravel, my ubiquitous umbilical cord
Scream, and then sing, "Hello to the world!"...

Tony, your talent shows though, if not for your touch I'm not sure that this poem would have had the same effect. Dont get me wrong I live this work, but I reckon the comments as you asked or the lack of them is simply the theme of the poem. It's hard to connect personally to it and even though I find it great, maybe childbirth and the details of it are but away from the tastes of people. Again your an amazing writer perhaps I'd suggest keeping in more abstract. Or then again I could be way off and everyone's just having a cuppa in bed over the holidays! You should be giving me advice my friend! Not the other way around. I hope this helps your question. It was bit difficult to answer so I might update by response if I come up with anything. Domt take it to heart brother! Peace and smiles to you. FISH
Hey you're right FISH!!.....Apologies for asking you to go there.....but I do appreciate the poetic detective work however (smiles)......you did a good job and I think you nailed it too when you said it was probably just the nature of the subject matter itself!!.....Thanx so much my friend......I appreciate it!!.......Stay Groovy!.....smiles!!......T xo : )
Great,true felt. How we will be before we be.
Amen to that SAVAGE!!......"Before we be.." (smiles)......high fives!!......T xo : )
Hi Tony,
Great style points but your work seems to be increasingly dark.
JP
Hey JOHN!!....thanx so much reading brother.....and I know it seems that way....but I'm not depressed or anything....I just write a lot dark and equal amounts of spiritually LIGHT stuff too!!.....When you're exploring and researching a lot of metaphysical/paranormal information (which I DO) inevitably you wind up in those dark arenas......and they can be poetically inspiring as well.....so not to worry my friend......ALL is well in Tony-land!!......Peace.......T xo : )
The first word would be "wow..." ;))

Wish you a New Year be peaceful and healthy wherever you are.
Thank you YIYAN!!.....Wow! & A Happy New Year to you too!!.....smiles!!......T xo : )
Wow this is sublime!! It is muse coiled in embryonic cords as if going back in time, some of it cryptic abstract for me. Does it also refer to self harm cutting I wonder, it reminded me when my son suffered PTSD after an accident and medication side effects.
kudos for this amazing brill poem!!!
plz do read and comment my newest poem too.
And wish yah a happy new upcoming year.
