Sometimes to see with a poet's eye hurts mercilously
To entertain with pain
To see deeper, feel harder
Sympathise their demise without pity
Looking outside in,
Always on the outside.
To jump from atmosphere to atmosphere
Surf different emotional levels
No-one can keep up
We are locked in our own understanding
Ostracised,
cast out.
We are the strangers,We strive to fit in, be accepted
But we are like the 'Vampyre'
We live on a dimension stretched below and beyond uncertainty
There lies the key. Normality
Exempt to us.
So the few are the many
Different classes, sexes, emotional seers
Cast out by ourselves
Superficiality desecrates our 'soul'
Conjoined we are 'whole'
Fragmented. We are atoms, we are spirit.
We are Soul
We see through beauty
We look inside ugliness and deformity
We embrace it all
We search ourselves out through the minions.
we are a strange but beautiful breed
we are walkers on every plane of life
We are the angels, the devils, the wise.
Locked in by crimson skies
malleable, we drift through life
Like the sands of time we filter by
Eternal
Words are our reality
Emotion is our deliverance
Frantically fighting against time
To engage our poetry on closed minds.
We fight on.
We are a circle of light and shadow
Minds intwined becoming one
A hidden conciousness of love
We suffer for our art
So in our solitude we are accepted
Still on the outside looking in.
We are visitors to history
we are makers of dreams
We are soul catchers
with our insatiable appetite for life
We crave to make sense of nonsense
We entice them to dream
We offer them hope on a plate of poetry
We are embellishers of idiosyncracies.
Still on the outside looking in

This is excellent. Each stanza could pretty much be the beginning of its own poem. I'm a fan! :)
