Poems Concentrated Ed6
I’ve strayed from format to say this, this week’s poem is a bit special.
I’m not going to mention why. Read on.
The Golden Curtain
When the rains have ceased,
And my friends are gone,
I’ll venture to the coast for certain,
In waiting for the Golden Curtain,
Until the dim of dawn.
Do not ask me why I do this,
For you already know my pain
You were the reason it worsened
Now, my only resort is the Curtain
Upon the horizon that keeps me sane.
The breeze helps me forget the pain,
And as I sit atop the coastal rocks.
I forget every other person
As I catch sight of the Curtain
Approaching near the docks.
Finally I’ve embraced your choice
And as I smell salvation in the air
I dive into its surface;
Into the Golden Curtain
Knowing my paradise is there.
Read once more, just to absorb it. You might find
something you missed or failed to understand.
Such an enchanting poem! Almost like a Hardy in terms of the
topic; broken heartedness, love, remorse etc… It’s a beautiful work. You feel
the emotion making its way into the words. The Golden Curtain, what do you
think it is? It’ll be revealed in the summary, but keep a guess in your bank,
for now. I don’t what more to say, it’s all somewhat of an un-acknowledged
understanding. That’s a good sign. Its things like that that made famous poets
stand out. There has to be something that everyone sees, understands in a poem,
and for different people its different things. So, I can’t really go on about
what I understood there, that you understand. Maybe you understood the
broken-heartedness personally, I only see and make that connection because I’ve
been taught to do it. I sort of understand. Like when Samsung failed to make
the Note 5 a better phone. That remorse of the lack of SD card and IR port.
Even though I’m never going to buy it, you sort of feel sad that someone you
supported gave up on you. Is that the same thing? Yeah, I’m weird.
Oh, okay. I’ve been putting it off. Here’s the summary:
The
Golden Curtain is a letter written to the poet’s lover.
The poet
speaks directly to the woman in his letter, and blames her for his current
mental state. He is so depressed; in fact, he is prepared to drown himself in
the ocean. He compares his watery grave, a large wave, to a golden curtain. This
is because of the reflection of bright sunlight on it, making it look golden, and
it’s large, draped appearance.
The
Golden Curtain is a haunting reminder of the effects of a broken heart on a
person, and how tragic they can be.
So, what did you feel about the poem? Did you like it? I
loved it. It’s a special poem. Do you have a poem like that somewhere? Do you
think you can write something like that? I’d love to feature it here! Send it
in with a short summary to spitfirerob@gmail.com!
In the beginning, I said something special about this. Have
