deadman - harbor bells
it's
where i traveled alone. sandy remote. skyfall engross King castellan. Ace of spades my bicycle spoke shoreline Sucralose. syrup saucy barbecue smoke grassy knoll and honeycomb and strawberry grove draw me a poem. speak in symbols. trigger neuroses her liver cirrhoses. my escape was harbors and boats, harbored emotions. peacefulness was salt in the breeze reading novels talking to trees, thoughtful reprieve devil grass and dandelions up to my knees crossed legged barefoot smoking as i roll up my jeans oasis - no. it's stasis. autonomic. a dream paralyzing, pristine. promise me forever, it screams promise me you'll stay with me. my yellows and greens watercolor waterfalls collages the creek Crayola crevasse. stones and rocks. oily and dry grab a palmful of soil and let it slide through my fingers earthen damp rejuvenation, alive mudpool fertilize. croaking chirping blink kaleidoscope eyes. this is sanctuary, sanctimony safety and soul when envisioning home, i'm right here skipping a stone resonation light refract across the surface and break the symmetry when rippling effectual lake 20 minutes to ride here and a moment to sink into everything and everywhere. a moment to think is all we ever need, i find myself at a pass stuck between regressing and maturing too fast sunken marshland, leaves of grass, paperback spines bending over backwards now to let me recline i'd give anything and everything to let me rewind sit once more beside the lake and stare at the sky smoke and pray and recollect and wander and cry head in my hands. stone and sand. this treasure of mine stands beneath apartments boasting beautiful views and it's true but you can't replicate the feeling of youth. deadman

I guess if I had to take a stab at it, the section quoted above is depicting the fond memories of childhood. In particular, memories of riding a bike with aluminium claded spokes down the shoreline. Perhaps the beach was a private retreat for the child? somewhere that he would go to build sand castles and pretend to be the king of all that he surveyed? At least that's my interpretation of your words. Quote:

As a whole this was an exceptional piece. It had heart, thoughtfulness, interesting word usage and stellar mechanics. I loved the poetry it possessed and the trip it took me on. Personally, it reminded me of Lake Michigan in Chicago, an old pond in Mississippi and, a secluded waterfall in Costa Rica I some times visit -- among other places. I've always had an affinity for the water, I'm drawn to it, not much of a swimmer (although I'm good at it), but I enjoy just being in the vicinity of the ocean or a large body of water. Thus, I dug this verse in its entirety. Even the parts that got away from me had something to offer. So props. Whenever you get a chance hit one of my pieces. I'd be interested in hearing in your thoughts. But, yeah, dopeness! Peace, bro. Last edited by ACTIVATE SELF; 12-23-2017 at 04:54 PM. |

i feel as if this were a visual project, and your lyrics was the template to draw up the special effect for this particular project - that it would be more encompassing to the reader. dandelions, rolled up jeans, kaleidoscope eyes, water and cry, short snippets of direction that make up memories that the reader has passed, something more or a time lapses story over a decade, or so, maybe less. very very cool to think of it like that. good title thinking it's where you travelled alonez i think activate self hit the nail on the head with the lake michigan guess... probably somewhere near there. very cool, once again. thanks. will feed in depth later

One of the main reasons I still visit Netcees is to read verses from you, and maybe like 3 or 4 other people.
I'm generally done with the whole 'text' thing, but great writing is great writing, and you sir, are a great writer.

Fantastic as is to be expected. I feel like there’s no place your mind can’t wander when you’re on one. Effortless, flawless, and free. Amazing to read at such a high level.
