The Bridge
Cobwebs
Maybe we need
to talk about
cobwebs
You know
they fill the
empty spaces
They gather an
enigmatic shine
They shimmer
They tickle our
inner darkness
Bring forward our
fears
We brush them away
Absentmindedly
with purpose
They form the most
natural of
curtains
between so many things
The here and now
The horror and
the fear
The things that
scare us
Which aren't so
frightening
but are more
Terrifying
than facing
the things
which aren't
so
Real

Defintely not modish or particularly intentional or forced
It's kind of how i hear the poems and how they form in my mind
Maybe, subconsciously, it's how the words spill
I suppose as well, that they should be spoken and so the lines fall with my intended stresses or to isolate and highlight certain words or phrases
I also think people need to work at poems. They shouldn't be easy, they should be like puzzles to unwind and unlock
I purposely don't use punctuaion though - i think they self punctuate and the reader should be able to punctuate to suit their interpretation
I still need to look those words up from your previous comments!
