Thread: Sounds of the City

  1. #1

    Sounds of the City

    Most nights I lie awake in my bed.
    In my quiet little town not much goes on.
    But over the sound of my thoughts through the night.
    The sounds of the city roll on.

    The City's low Grumble rings in my heart.
    The sounds of the surrounding mechanica.
    I struggle to understand my unimportant part.

    Grumbling low in harmony with my heart,
    The sound of the City plays.
    Reminding me of my loneliness,
    To stay til then end of my days.

    Lost in the sounds I find my self wandering.
    I find my self fighting a fight started on pondering.

    Found all alone in my silent corner.
    I think of the last fleeting days.
    Guessing whats next I find myself lost,
    walking in black and white haze.

    To the end of my days I look for my witness.
    Trying to find my own eyes.
    Searching in the dark for friendly faces,
    Only to find I'm denied.

    Today in this addled and incoherent struggle,
    I find my true meaning for being.

    Oh don't get all sour, Ben. I'm sure it's just taking Nelida a while to formulate a reply that does this justice.

    Or shoots it to pieces.

    I was really hoping Poetica might see this, and comment. Since she writes a lot, I would enjoy some criticism. *bump*

    And... She read it... And...

    She loved it

    A bit different from your usual poetry?

    Well, I kinda prefer this one...

    But so sad, so sad...

    How do you mean different?

    OOC: I think its less sad than it is a selfrealization for my character. It may not be under good circumstances, but for my character its a good thing/

    This must be one of the fist poems you've written that's not a purely fixer-poem...

    There is 2 lines here i love, excellent put...

    Guessing whats next I find myself lost,
    walking in black and white haze.
    and this
    To the end of my days I look for my witness.
    Trying to find my own eyes.

    Re: Sounds of the City

    The 2 statements that you picked out imply the duality of the character.

    This refers to a conflict within my character, and also the conflict on Rubi-Ka. Fixerben is somewhere between bad and good, and cant quite decide what he is supposed to be doing. But at the end of the poem he thinks he has found his true reason for being.

    This stanza is about finding someone. There is someone locked inside of Fixerben. When he gets upset (usually by Templus) his eyes Burn bright blue, and a voice comes from him that is not himself. There is something inside of Fixerben. Which can not be released on Rubi-Ka. Maybe it can be seen in "The Shadowlands."

    Fixerben was hoping for some 'deep' conversation, but it seems no one is taking the bait.

    Fixerben wonders when Poetica will notice his poem...
