Crushing The Glass Boy

Crushing The Glass Boy

 

None can crush The Glass Boy

With the boulders and Stones

For fragile is his heart

And not his flesh and bones

 

Let go your arrows of lies

To pierce those innocence-filled eyes

Plunge your spears of hatred in that chest

Filled with breath of love and sweetness

 

Bind him with the ropes of lust

And gag him with pieces of deceit

Drown him in the sea of despair

Relish shards of him at your feet

 

He, who has loved, needs to be killed

He, who believes in virtue, must be poisoned

He, who is different, needs to be destroyed

He, who is The Glass Boy, must be crushed.

Wow! This is really powerful, Ieshwar! I love all the imagery. It has a very strong effect and I feel so very sorry for The Glass Boy. He seems so sweet and yet is so hurt

 

Awesome job with this poem. It's very beautiful!

Nice poem, quite cryptic but the imagery is inspiring. It makes me think of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust for some (obscure) reason.

What? You guys really liked it? Wel, I wasn't expecting this but... Thanks!

 

I think that poetry isn't my stuff. I'll stick to stories. Perhaps, once ina while, I'll write some poetry...

Never heard of it. What is it?

 

By the way, how did you find the poem? Dark?

It didn't seem overly dark to me.

 

For your info (no clue whether this is relevant ):

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

 

Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Wierd and Gilly,

The Spiders from Mars.

He played it left hand, but made it too far,

Became the special man, then we were Ziggy's Band.

 

Ziggy really sang, screwed up eyes and screwed down hairdo

Like some cat from Japan, he could lick 'em by smiling

He could leave 'me to hang

Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan.

 

So where were the spiders while the fly tried to break our balls

Just the beer light to guide us,

So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands ?

 

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were Voodoo

The kids was just crass, he was the naz

With God given ass

He took it all too far but boy could he play guitar.

 

Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind

Like a leper messiah

When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band

By the way, how did you find the poem? Dark?

Hmm, I would say more melancholy than outright dark. Perhaps even bittersweet.

Interesting! Thanks for showing it to us, Francios. (LOL, though I can't quite see the similarity )

 

 

Have a great day all!
