The eyes they see
Elegant man, gentleman, a married admirer
An old guy, a young lad
Enduring nude grin
Stupid girl drips guilt
The ears hear, set car has a crash
Can't rely on it, certainly not
Listen silent conversation, no voices rant
Love? Violent Tainted date!
The answer wasn't here.
Hey you coward! Why do you care?
I fear to think I'm here
I think, therefore I am.

Haven't been here in quite a while. Lots of catching up to do :) Your poem is a bit complex for me to comprehend :) But I am sure it means something really deep to you. I can assume some thing from your lines, but I will keep my assumption to myself :)
I wish I could see a 'story' everywhere..It would surely fetch me a promotion !! :|
lovely!!!!!
i can'r find a word to describe this poem...maybe, punk or sumthing...i really don't know..its straightforward, to the point, edgy and with a message!
liked it!

Hey, long time no see!
The post, well, obviously it is incoherent. All it is, if you look carefully, is a list of anagrams. Sequentially put together, forming some vague story in my head :)
Hope to see you around.

:) hehe, journalists are supposed to be experts at fabricating stories, hai na :P
[jitsy]
That's surprising you know :P I can understand the edgy part, it's pretty vague and stuff, as I said before just a list of anagrams strung together
I think therefore I am...
...and that is precisely what puts me into trouble :)
Do NOT generalise dude! :)
Wow! something new! :D Couldn't figure out the anagrams completely, but nice images.
koi mujhko bhi ye poem samjha do :( .. i know the writer won't .. but maybe someone from the readers..

My interpretation -
The married admirer and the old guy were actually the same person, and he set up the car crash that killed the young lad and the stupid girl who loved him. The gentleman from line two was suspicious and spied on the elegant man. When he heard the silent conversations of the elegant man he came to know not only that he was the one who wanted the young lad and the stupid girl killed - because he loved her and was jealous - but also that the elegant man was now buried deep in remorse. The last five lines are the elegant man's soliloquy, where he is in extreme self-doubt, questioning the authenticity of his love for the stupid girl, and looking for answers. The last line is spoken in resigned acceptance of a sad truth, partly explaining his immoral actions. :P

Okay, here's mine:
The voice of the poem is the subconscious of the said girl, narrating things as they happen.
The eyes are trying to see an elegant gentleman in an old, married guy, (hopefully) an admirer. There's a young guy, also probably suitable, but the eyes see him as cheap, ungentlemanly, grinning vulgarly. The girl is stupid to see things in a twisted way, and her subconscious is ridden with guilt. It tries to talk to the ears - this car is bound to crash, completely unreliable. The girl tries to listen inside to her head vs heart, but cant make out any coherent conversation. She wants to know if it's love, or something more tainted, but doesn't get anything. And then she turns angry at her own subconscious, trying to say random things, and calls it coward.
The last two lines are a plight of that poor subconscious - it fears, that is why it exists.
Ok, my imagination maybe, but when did I claim otherwise :)

Awww..okie babe

Nice interpretation! And the anagrams are pretty straight forward, put together mostly. Within the same or the next sentence
"I fear to think I'm here||I think, therefore I am"
Love this one!
