Ashes to Ashes The heart stringed to the lyre The body tied to the pyre Cupid resuscitated the heart to put it back to sleep The flames made the being from flesh to ash now a heap From far away came a prince on a royal colt And gathered the ashes in an urn Riding back to his noble land out in the cold Time immemorial brought him memories of a day When the being asked the prince if he would remember it Little knowing of the obscure meaning of the words The prince said “Yes I will” Smiling with glee it bowed down and left into the sunset. The prince smiled to itself and said “Yes I did” The ashes stirred in the urn within It was being happy for the prince being benign ----'----<@ Hey people this piece looks more like prose than poetry but do gimme your comments thanks and sorry for littering the forum :
^^nice one..... sounds like some fairytale stuff ;-).............. he he never mind !! I suck at poetry .........
one of your first poems, which dint leave me feeling dark, and hollowed out from inside....a bitter sweet feeling.....and i think i understood this one....quite easily too feeling very content...mebbe due to emo generated by the poem
wont be nit pickin....this one is lovely!!!! but i couldnt understand the use of 'prince' over ..say 'king'.....???
Thanks dear.. Wordsworth??:shock: which poem are u talking about!? anyways thanks dude!.. a prince is still young.. they still have a lot of things to do before they become king.. not all prince become kings thats enough i guess
Very well written lines bud .. I can see thru them u know .. Damn its strange isn't it .. sometimes these are jz words .. n sometimes if u can see thru them .. its like a life .. Same words but World of a difference .. Y'd he do dat ?? if he wanted to put it back to sleep ?
Thanks dear! words entwine a persons whole very being into themselves.. most of the time they branch out and show life.. in it rawness about cupid the question could also be why was the need for it to resuscitate..? too many questions dude.. its the answers people have to find..
^^^Da need to resuscitate might be anythin .. maybe to bring da lost person to his senses .. but Y do dat if ultimately wat he wanna do is make u sleep ??? :think:
