I need a title..

Torrance

On a merciful seat made of stories untold
I sat and watched as history did unfold
I saw ancient lovers that time had passed by
I met liars that told tales that money couldn´t buy
I heard drinkers fall into an ocean of sleep
While their wives desperately tried to be both wretched and meek

Now thou does call me a liar
Oh please, do not with your suspicion make me tired
For I have seen the most marvellous sights
But also horror that would fill you with fright
Do not get me wrong, I do love man
But it´s what she´s capable of that I can´t understand

I am naive but I do know
That drinkers and beggars are not here for show
So let out your love
Free another holy dove

I can tell you this after sitting on this merciful seat
I promise you that I am not trying to preach
For I sat on a seat made of stories untold
Where I slowly watched as history did unfold

On a merciful seat ?

?

Torrance

Mercyful seat...what it is..well...I meant Merciful

Da Bounca

is the seat your talking about a toilet seat?
if so, call the poem armtiage shanks

Torrance

If I was talking about a toilet seat I´d just call it seat of porcelain divinity

Cheez

how bout "Etiolate visions blind"
hmm yes extreemly

nesf

Perhaps "The merciful seat, Look up from the crap and scan your horizons"....

Nah man I'm useless at titles

This isn't a critisism or such, I like the poem and kudos for having the bravery to post it up!

But as I was reading it I thought of something. Maybe you should alter the wording of the second line:

"I sat and watched as history did unfold"

to

"I sat and did watch history unfold"

Just to keep it in a similar rythym and tone as the preceding line it's rhyming with.

Of course you might want that effect of disjointed rhyming to highlight something in the second line. Hmmm sometimes poetry can be too complicated for it's own good.

Nice poem btw

Torrance

thank you for the advice...I´ll think about it

And I´m glad you liked it
