Till's Eyes

this is the first titled poem of mine that you get to see. as a general rule and just the way i write, i don't title my poems unless i think the poems needs one.

there's a story behind the title of this poem. the title of this poem is Till's Eyes. i wrote this poem while i was watching Rammstein's live DVD Volkerball. there are snippits from other concerts but i wrote this off the main concert that was filmed in France. they were performing their song Ohne Dich and during the instrumental part of the song the lead singer, Till Lindemann had this look in his eye that just got to me and so i wrote this poem. i wrote this poem back in September.

hope you like it.

----------------------------------
something about that look in your eye
that caught mine
saw right through me
through every flaw
until i felt i'd caught on fire.
this isn't about love -
it's pain.
the feel i get
when you feel past the world that's fallen in on itself.

at 2 am
the most inconvenient time -
that middle of the ocean feeling
with a lighter and a match.
will you turn the world
into a star for me tonight?

plastered with a sense of nothingness
finish it off with a parting shot to fall on the floor with -
i'll wake you in the morning
i know you'll still be there
in a stripped blank mindset
fueled with something you can't harness.
you've shielded me in bubble wrap
so we're ready to go.

tell me -
where do you go when it's hard to hear
and your spidey sense is gone?
