They've Got Hearts And Bones by ~StormCloudMao:iconStormCloudMao:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


They've got hearts and bones
and things that make up
their bodies,

but if you were to
melt it all down,
you would find that
you can't buy anything for anybody.

Every color is just a wavelength
...and we still pick a favorite.
Oftentimes we change it.
Seldom do we save it
because it
doesn't matter if you prefer

forest green or
ocean blue or
blood red.

The things you'll see the most
are the insides of your eyelids...

but no one's telling you that you have to like it.

Couldn't sleep, thought a poem might help. Insomnia's a bitch.

If I follow, you're talking about dreams and what they convey to us in our conscious life.

Actually, I'm talking about how irrelevant all of that is.

Really liked how you used the primary colours (for eyesight) in the

forest green or
ocean blue or
blood red.

bit. It gave this really strong image before reminding us just how useless these strong images and descriptions are. The contrast was brilliant.

The last line gives a good effect to go out on too. Nice work.

I see how TOMBEC could have thought that, but it is your tone that indicates otherwise. you are very exasperated or bitter or something and that is why it doesn't matter.

Yeah. I wrote this almost immediately after someone told me that if you break down all the elements in the human body you could sell them for no more than like fourteen dollars. Apparently that's true. Kind of a bummer.

Manipulating language is the key to my joie de vivre.

this is beautiful!!!! it is everything I know we as people, are. We are ugly and destroyed, beautiful and perfect, and never constant, especially in our minds.

and yes, insomnia is a bitch. She comes in, even when I lock the door.
