~Infinity~ A Poets Pain!

[Reeco]

INFINITY
Written By Timeless


The meaning of life,
Of sin and strife,
Of wrong and right,
Of day and night,
Of good and bad,
Happy and sad,
Of moon and star,
Of planets afar,
Of years and tears,
Of hopes and fears,
Utter confusion,
And total illusion,
Of mind and soul,
Diamonds and coal,
Of fire and ice,
Pain and sacrifice,
Of smiles and screams,
Nightmares, dreams,
The crystal chalice,
Of spite, of malice,
The deep red mountains,
Oceans and fountains,
Of queens and jacks,
Of whites and blacks,
Of joy and mourn,
The rose and the thorn,
Of master and slave,
The womb and the grave-

Lie between the visions playing with my mind,
Twisting and turning and making me blind-
To all the things I once could see,
Till the sun clouded the light from me.
Cause deep beneath the sea lie untouched skies,
Where soft white winds float across my eyes.
Yet where they start and where they end,
Lies acutely hidden with the message they send.
But they draw on and play with my emotion,
As my life seems to pass in slow motion.
And all the dreams I once envisioned,
Become warped and wasted, self-imprisoned.

And I can't really be sure just what I feel,
When I'm really not sure just what is real.
Could I draw the line on infinity,
Or be imprisoned by simplicity?
Could I see so far I'd be looking back?
Could I shine so bright I'd appear as black?
Could I reach so high I could touch the ground?
Could I scream so loud I wouldn't make a sound?
Constantly enclosing, never to meet.
Constantly advancing, only to retreat.
Constantly searching, never to seek.
Constantly rising, never to peak.
Constantly licking, never to taste.
Constantly rotting, never to waste.
Constantly appearing, never to be seen.
Constantly crowned, never finding my queen.
Constantly plotting a story with no theme.
Constantly awaking unto the same dream.

There's no infinity if there's no-one who perceives it.
There's no reality if there's no-one who believes it.
There's no fantasy if there's no-one to fake it.
And there is no time if there's no-one to make it.
There is no sight and there is no sound.
There is no sky and there is no ground.
There is no day and there is no night.
There is no glory and there is no might.
There is no you and there is no me,
There never was and there never will be.
Only figments floating in a world of dreams-
Across someone's imaginary mind so it seems.
A desire, a need, a want, a must-
That once was, now is, and is soon to be dust.

The structure started out kind of unusual.. But after I read the 20.. 3 word lines.. It became more interesting and a more in depth on the poem..

[Reeco]

yea i was tired OF doing in depth poems....coz they dont get feedback, because noone takes the time to figure it out...so i went for simple and unusual this time!! MY NEXT ONE IS GOING TO BE LEGANDS (MAYBE )

[Sublime D]

you really need to stop talkign about legends...it really doesn't matter..all it means is that people will steal ur stuff..get some copyrights....people probably go in the legends section to steal geat poems and lyrics....anyway...this was ok...you knwo how i feel about simple structures.......that aside...i liek your in depth works....mroe than this..this was ok...but extremely simple....
8.0/10

extremly simple, but in depth as well, coz everything can go deeper, it's all in how you look at things and take things in, the more you look the deeper and deeper you'll go. but with that aside, i actually really enjoyed reading this, thou when i just glanced over it at first i was like wtf this is timeless? i liked the feel to it, and everything being right there for you but it still being thoughtful. at one point i did start thinking of dr.Seuse and that book green eggs and ham, but im pretty sure that was just due to the flow in one spot lol. but i thought it was good, and even read it twice, doesnt happen alot so be proud!
