writing Emeralds and colorless roses

[Pan the Fabulous Ferret 2,642]

Look into those emerald eyes, and fly higher in these octagonal skies.

Up is now on your left, and down is right here.

There isnt any palce I would rather be than over way yonder.

There you can do all the things that aren't possible,

so I heard.

There you can make any story into reality,

so I heard.

There you can take the time to know everything,

so I heard.

 

What separates this place from here in this broken world?

I dont know, perhaps that dotted line?

Perhaps that chain link fence that gaurds an empty building?

All I know is nothing at all...

 

All I know are those emerald eyes.

Setting fire to the earth with the blood of a rose.

What is there left to say?

Perhaps that there isnt anything beyond that dotted line?

Who is to say that there is?

 

Past that dotted line and chain link fence, there is a place,

so I heard

 

Picking a rose fresh from the bush, its color bleeds out after my touch.

It empties out all over my hand, I cant help but stare at it.

past the dark entity in front of me hides a child behind a mask.

His is not my concern,

only my torment as I cross the dotted line only to salt the earth with my footsteps.

 

Now I am bleeding...

so i heard

now I think i know how that rose felt as I looked past it into those emerald eyes.

There is a new place for me.

so I have seen.

Beautiful. I love the use of the phrase "So I have" or "So I". Seriously I think this is one of my favorites. The symbolism is rather awesome too.

Any pony who can tell me just what the buck this poem means will forever have my respect.

 

And yes I know that poetry means a lot of different things to diferent people... but What I am asking is that someone thouroughly explain what this means to them in a way that I can easily see its relativity to the actual meaning of the poem...

 

this is may first poetry challenge... GO
