Scrape

scrape the inside

of my mind

and vaccum

my meloncholic state

into the nearest bin

put my thoughts

into a coffee blender

and drink slowly

please don't add sugar

my death

will absorb

the guilt

from your blood

stained lips

the cleaners!.....surely not!

thankfully we all have our own individual tastes and what one person likes another may not! I disagree about the "cop out" though! This poem was a spontaneous effort, it simply flowed through me! I may well return to this piece of writing and be inspired to rework it, or it may give birth to more poems of a similar vein! Your comments are appreciated!:-) be rebellious!

I agree

with Kaligantsaros about the last stanza. I don't like it as much as I do the rest of the poem. I thought it was just about the want to scrape out unwelcome thoughts until I read your reply to Seren. Reading that comment, it makes so much more sense. Sorry about Freddy, hopefully all goes well. I guess the poem is about getting rid of unwelcome thoughts, although the thoughts are tied to Freddy, so the scraping of Freddy will get rid of the thoughts... I like your poem and seriously hope it goes well. I don't pray, but I'll send good thoughts.
