Despair
I dont know what this feeling is..
Its like, like im realizing that my heart is becoming calloused
I always feel like im above, beyond, or far too civil for many things
Today, as I looked on the ensemble, I watched them delve into their drunken stupor,
And this communication itself is proof of my dissocation,
of course of the most subtle caliber,
But still i watched on, content wih the pretext of seamless integration,
And observed the women dance.
Dance their dance of desperation, drink their drinks of Ignorance
And act out their hopelessness, but it was what i saw the men
Do that made me realize that I really don't care.
They don't care. We don't care. I don't care...
If they are lost, if they are found, if i go home alone, if i go home coupled:
In the end it was a flitful moment that stained only a second of my time
Drinks are lies, people are spies, women are fungi, and so are guys.
Welcome to the world of sheep, where every grin has edge, and
Every act of kindness a cadaverous gleam.
Welcome to the night scene.

Care
You are so good at this style of poetry.
The nightlife captured for what it is. Anyone
who has made it through that stage can
recognize this. Despair, desperation, disregard
for oneself, debasement. Well written poem.

Raskin!
Always a pleasure to hear from you,
yea i just started writing again,
not to say that i stopped writing but more like took a pause
i felt like i was kind of wringing my brain for ideas, and
that didnt feel very fullfilling to me, so after a some time
i decided to write about what ive been seeing in my night life.
and its just as you say, i know its a stage, decided to capture my feelings to reflect upon later in life,
the more i write the more i realize that my writing is more like a diary with a very loose rhyme scheme, heh..
but thanks again for the kind words raksin, i think your right, i suppose thats a good thing,
because im also really good at building things up, and subsequently i guess that means breaking them down too.
they will be more writings in the way so please keep an eye out, sorry i havent been reading
much of your work lately, i gusss you could say im aiming for a purer expression for the time being.
