Silver Haze

*                     ~Dark Silver Haze~                               *

   (side#1)                                         (side #2)

come taste life                  ----------  Heart-warming wine
old and stale,                   ----------   Jot down a line
unflavored, unpolished,      ---------   Mood changes hue
A sour, dim shade              ---------   To sweet silver blue

the lowest feeling              ---------- How high the cost
eternal gray sky               ----------  How much is lost
hollow memories               ---------- Back payment due
A sour, dim shade             ---------  To sweet silver blue 

weak limbs, overpower         ------- Head shake and sigh
moments of lights              --------  None left to deny
everything ends                 --------  Insight in view
A sour, dim shade             --------  To sweet silver blue 


torn from reality             --------   Somehow I gain
low spirits of sorrow        --------  Beauty from pain
bitter and dull,                 --------- As thoughts turn to you
A sour, dim shade           --------   To sweet silver blue

I absolutely love this poem. I love the way it was written, not just the words, but the creative style. Everything is connected and both sides intertwine with each other as well as themselves. It's very clever. Much love to you and your talent! :)

Love the poem and the concept. It's spiritual in a ghostly sort of way. True feeling of two people playing off of each others emotions. Nice collaboration. As always love your stuff. Satisfied... you bet sister. Kilmer

Art is subjective. No one can say what is bad or good only what they like or don't, and I liked this-- I'm definitely going to plagiarize you. Of course, I'll write something better like when Shakespeare stole "Hamlet" from the original author, but I'll be sure to send you a postcard of my new ferrari when they're done praising me about what a revolutionary, literary art form I came up with. Hah! Yeah baby! I love it! I'm definitely going to plagiarize you! Hahahahaha...
