Secret (prose)

edited September 2005 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
The words couldn't be pried from my lips.
The lips could never let it slip.
A chance meeting on a weekday afternight
and a willingness to conform to friendly standards.
Perhaps a bottle of wine and a brief hello
or
a conversation filled with the realities and eccentricities
of your life and mine with
nothing holding back the water but the silver moon.
I sit back and wonder if a chance meeting brought together
by perpetual enlightenment could possibly happen.

I've got to go.
I've got to write a play on words and rhymes
centered around time
while the money-making machine sputters,
"Freedom is on a dollar bill."
It all seems so clear when alone;
enter the actor,
and it all goes grey.
A whisper and a thrill
A whisper and a chill

  • wonderful poem....It really made me think....mmmmmm...Another great Ali!
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    The actress plays the part
    Night after night
    In her own play
    They see her feelings
    her life cannot escape them,but,...

  • With a touch of that mans hand,
    He will take her from this land.

    his touch melts her body.

    they become solid,
    two tiny drops
    in an endless sea.

    Don't mind me, but isn't this verse, not prose?

    Carry on.

    Well...in my dicionary....PROSE is....s"spoken or written language without metrical strucure."

    I always MEAN for it to be prose,but now that I looked at it...
    I have 5 lines in a long tempoed meter,one line in a short tempoed meter,
    and then more lines...
    so it could be all three?:)

    I dont know finns...I titled it with the information I wanted to express
    beforehand.

    PS Been watching BBC news tonight and thought of you.

    Actually...I was watching the man that kicked out of Parliment or some caucus for making a joke and they totally manhandled him.It was quite tragic.His fraiol,83 year old frame could have fallen to pieces!!!!!!!
    Pardon my prose...I should have wrote it all straightlined so that it didnt come out in verse.

    I did also see the polar bear story too and that Tony Blair is pretty fine for a PM Politician!!!!!!!!:D
