Fever Steams

Quemis

Frame the snapshot perfectly. Your worth in acolytes.
Filter fogged photos, albums full - hunger defines your life.
Can never quite solve the puzzle;
Cant fill that broken glass.
Sad to see your soul still slander - some gold for the fool at last.

Fervent is your spectacle. So saturated, so frivolous.  
Fuck your storied facade. Your satiation, your dissonance.
Soggy and fat with forgery,
those songs of fear you sing,
stink from frequent falsehoods.

They spoil everything.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I love writing about sociopaths. I have had so many in my life, so many to run from. So many monsters to despise. They are as fascinating as they are terrifying.

        You certainly have a way with the words you used to illustrate the personalites. Quite a vocabulary!...:)

          Thank you, again.

          Some people don't understand what im trying to write because I use large words. I dont think the ones im using are that complicated.

          I am really not trying to be pretentious. I have alot to say, but still want it to bounce and rhyme - so i need lots of information per-word.

          Anyways, I am glad you appreciate it. Makes me feel good. : P I have spent my life trying to show my family my various written and visual works, but they dont seem to understand that I am trying to tell them something about my relationship with them, and how it could be better. Even when i point this out the interest or understanding just isnt there.

          Thank you. Really.

            I understand what you are saying. I believe the same applies to a lot of us, including me. I just keep writing. I do it for myself as it makes me feel great inside. You are a thoughtful person to want your family to be included in the understanding of your work and the relationship you have with them. Do not be discouraged if it takes them a while. In the meantime, just keep writing and building your vocabulary. You are extremely talented and an intelligent writer. And, you are very welcome!

            They do spoil everything. You may be better about spotting them than I am.storied facade, spectacle , falsehoods, fool's gold, how they frame a snapshot---all very descriptive.
