Digging Through the Archives II

As the previous post, these are old poems that were done back in 2002-3??  In their unaltered form.  Notice the lack of punctuation and the tight feeling to the lines.  I always got what I wanted out on the page first and then would add punctuation later...actually I'm still like that...

Purple Sea of Ignorance and Pain From You

The dark purple sea of long ago
Images fly past, blurry, unrecognizable
seasons turning, ever changing
Lives lost in the tide
The current driving their soul away
Captured by the purple sea
Victim to its pain, your pain, our pain
Succumb to the empty hollow
Screaming, bleeding, shaking, heart aching
Universally sane
misjudged apprehension
smoothed over pain
living outwardly dying inwardly
Same story same line
Everyone passing over
Forgetting the importance of self
You live for life, life waits for death, death waits for you.
screaming, bleeding, shaking....
