1. Love they have said is all you need To live and die and live in peace But for me it's a deadly weed For I am in love with the beast. 2. Methought I knew the answer of her gaze Sitting, dreaming, thinking of long-gone days But as I looked up; expecting a grin I saw tears roll down her pretty chin. 3. Ghosts I have buried of my wicked past Yet they haunt me, and still pursue across And when at nights I go to bed at last I dream of the day I killed my sad boss Comments, please?
Well, I hate explaining the meaning of poems because everyone is entitled to personal interpretation. But ok Ill try to explain. The three verses though separate can be linked to the same story. Imagine these scenes - A girl is in love. The man she loves is a criminal. He killed his employer. The girl knows the truth. Yet she loves him. And he knows that. They both love each other but still are not happy together.
wait a minute.....is the poem from the gurls prespective.....cause if it is then, how can she have the dreams bout killing his boss.....if it is from the guyz prespective then how come he says he is in love w/ a beast....?.... please explain?
hey dude, van... a sincere request from me, pls don't explain your poems, leave them open to interpretation. it's more fun that way.
I think its from both perspectives, dp... the first one is the girl talking. the second n third is the guy. I think this whole concept of three random unrelated verses is pretty cool, especially when u can make a story out of it. @ maverick, can you blame him for explaining after a couple of people requested an explanation?
As esgallindeion said, it's really awesome how you have given three perspectives. Wonderfully put together. Though, it's a shame you had to explain it. You may wanna make the last line of the third verse a little more subtle. For the sake of rhyme, don't sacrifice rhythm ( This is the critic speaking).
nice stuff vanhouten !!!!! givin u reps.. and ya.. don try n xplain ur stuff ... its more fun tht way !! nyways gr8 stuff :rock:
