The Innocent Assassins (about friendship)

[Cy Skywalker]

~*~The Innocent Assassins~*~

to...A.


Your nails, with razorblade imagination overlay,
slide “lovingly” down his arm, and I remember
the wide green dewy world where we once sat.

Is innocence the fields of suburbia-grass,
while its negative opposite is–not “straight and narrow”,
but razor-thin?

We would fight with plastic swords, and
around us bled into the world a fantasy construct
where we played at sleek assassins
aiming shuriken under the careful orange gaze–
We jumped and laser-bullets just warmed our studded sides.

Now I’ve gone “Dark”–wanting cloakéd drama for the swish–
and you’ve gone “bad”–every innuendo bitter on your lips.
These distinctions poison our transactions.
I cannot stoop to save, I cannot stop.

Cy: you are sooooo freaking talented. I wish I could write with just a fraction of your talent, then I'd be able like every writing award ever made. I love reading your work. This poem is amazing. It has amazing imagery and feeling. I love this. Again, you are soooooooo freaking talented.

[Cy Skywalker]

That you lots! Unfortunatly, I have not yet won every writing award ever made, but I'm sure with your backing I will.

(If you want to read any more, I'll give you my fictionpress account. I always like responces.)

I still want to change the last few lines of TIA. Those ought to be the most specific, and I don't know what to say. Hopefully the emotion and events are apparent elsewhere too though.

[Ethan]

Hopefully you will. I bet you could win a nobel prize for physics with your writing (that's right, I said physics )

[Cy Skywalker]

...Physics with my writing? Oh, lol! That's a cool compliment.

Physics. I'd love it if it didn't have so much calculus.

[Ethan]

lol, touche...

and, I suck at poetry...the best line of poetry i have ever written was in grade 9. We had to write a poem on assasins, and one of my lines was:

For prices higher than moral values, they do these evil deeds

Which, isn't very good...so, basically, back to my point, you are sooooooooo freaking talented.

[Cy Skywalker]

That is a good line. Not amazing, but good and true. Truth is what poetry is really about. Truth that most people don't notice...

Thank you for the ego boost times four.

I usually don't write poetry unless it's about an event in my life that has enough emotion that I need to get it out. This one, for example, it's about a real person.
