"Don't Look" 10 - 25 - 01



don't look

don't speak

your life is at it's peak



don't touch

don't walk

the line is as thin as chalk



don't look up

don't hope for more

or you'll regret what you're asking for



the shadow looms

over you so

inveitable, unavoidable

inescapable, it seems

just don't look

please don't speak

your life I want you to keep



your head tilts back

your eyes go wide

and then it falls

the grand piano of your life



it all ended so soon

things were just looking up

then you had to say,

"Hey, just my luck...."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Hey, you never know when you should just MOVE instead of asking, "Why?", it could mean your life....

Wrong catagory for this poem. I see this poem as a movie. The narator is the felon, who killed this person because they were too busy dwelling on their interval struggles to realize what was honestly going on in the outside. There's a lot of underlying messages in this poem and I know you did it on purpose. So, I commend you on it.

I loved this...the way it started with don't lok, don't speak then just don't look, please don't speak, ya almost end up willing the person just to look. It's dark, but almost sympathetic...i love it.

Wow, I love this poem! It is beautifully written and has so much wisdom! You are unbelievably talented and I really hope you never get to the point where you "never have time" to write, which is how I've been feeling lately...stay with it! :)

As usual, your poems are so true and wise. You have a lot of poems on here, man. Why don't you make a book or somethin'? LoL. Later, Josh and don't be afraid to e-mail me or IM me at this e-mail address since I finally got my WebTV back. Later.
