The Ambiguation Page

So, I have been told (again) to update; I don't really mind, since I'm bored at the moment.
Unfortunately I've nothing to say, so I'm going to be predictable and post some pseudo-blackmetal/Neo-paganistic poetry.
So, here's the poem: I'm going to make the title up right now, so it'll be subject to change.
-------------------------------
The Angelic

i'm reading to the sin's conclusion,
waiting for the rain to fall,
pacing across the frosted hallway
lamenting red life as the ashes fall

nightmares grinning like grim seduction
a fleeting glimpse of more,
like thrashing the beast in the rising tide
of lust and the scent of war

i'm dreaming of screams and chains of gold
prison bars virtue forged,
drinking bleeding sacrifice to the
reaping raping horde.

like lovers wrapped in perfect roses
taunting death with a poison kiss
a field of green and simple losses;
i'm just not drunk enough for this.

so on an innocent page with a childish grin
we're scrawling lullabies
singing of dark and the touch of the night
desperation's song of lies

it rings through empty marble halls
filled with whirling gears
iron cogs and the stains of time
sweat and blood and fear

i step onto the final stair
crawling blind to the end of night
the sin-song is over, i'm slinking away
so looking back with triumphant stare
I step into the waiting light.
-------------------------------

What do you think..?
And what does it mean..?

hah.. you've melded them all together! yay!

I'm not sure that the stanzas work together..but. we'll see.

"like lovers wrapped in perfect roses
taunting death with a poison kiss
a field of green and simple losses;
i'm just not drunk enough for this."
I like the last two lines .. well. the third line.i.. don't think the second line does anything. but. hmm.. i'm not actually really reading it[the whole thing] cos i did it last night. but meh

"so on an innocent page with a childish grin" i.hmm.. i'm not sure about the 'so'. it's .. not vague enough [can't believe i'm saying that to you]

and the last stanza;
"i step onto the final stair"
i'm not sure about the tense. Maybe you could play around a bit with that?

this is just me picking out the odd random thing, and i'm being kinda critical. but. maybe it'll help.

well i thought it worked well, and although i don't really like rhymes, it added to the mood in this poem. The rhyme kinda created this persistent rythmn, reminiscent of a furiously beating heart or marching soldiers, or something equally bad.

to me, it sounds to me like a very vivid dream, kind of a combination of all the fearful thoughts that plague the writer. it's a nightmare, but it's formed directly from reality.

so, what does it mean? well, if you're a freudian believer, it probably means you've got to face up to the problems in your life.

Natasha said...

agree with julia complete-bubbly-malishious (i really should stop i know ><) and the rhyme gives it direction. the only line which was like woah! was 'im not drunk enough for this' or whatever it was. its a POPPY line

Eric said...

HAHA~! i have analysed this poem completely and grasped pretty much all concepts of it -gloat- =]

Peter Owen said...

you missed a couple.. or at least, you didn't expand on what you'd figured out to give overall meanings. you know?

Peter Owen said...

Oh, that reminds me; I'm thinking of changing the last line in the fourth stanza to "desperation's pleading cry"

what do you think..?

Anonymous said...

lol i still haven't read through the whole thing [only like 3 stanzas at a time, cos i like it better as two seperate poems and that random stanza.. the not drunk enough one]
and got my head around it.

I still don't like that fourth stanza. And i like the not drunk enough. But i'm not sure that that stanza adds anything to it.. it just. hmm.
This is like.. feeling-wise, not, whether it actually means anything.
Mind, it is 9am. So i'm not exactly thinking about it as much as i would be at say 11pm.

but yes. :)

Anonymous said...

^ my point made about not functioning as well at 9am XD

Anonymous said...

Peter Owen said...

Eric said...

how else are we meant to explain Ju's supernatural powers?
blaming it on black sorcery so we can burn her on a stake has been an age old tradition. XD

Peter Owen said...

it's fools like you that killed disco.

i like it

moi aussi.
oh yeah. and in your previous post you said "...disproportionately silly, Y chromosome deficient segment of the population."

disproportionately silly. What's that supposed to mean? That we're more silly than not? or that compared to males such as your lovely self, we are far sillier? Because i disagree.

and omg. Jess Barnes is sooooo annoying.

Peter Owen said...

no, I was simply implying that it seems impossible for such a large quantity of silliness to reside in such a diminutive vessel.

That's not very nice.
I always thought I meant more to you than a diminutive vessel.

and Cate Emsley is standing behind me singing Chicago and it's weird [and quite bad] and at Davis's party she came up to me and was all 'i've always really liked you Kelda."

"...."

"you're a really nice person"

"..............erm.. thanks?"

And yeah. Now i'm scared that she's secretly lesbian and hitting on me.

but lets not go there.

Kelda said...
