Post a poem thread...

[gravey420]

I stood with my master
and i said to him

its not quite what you said it was
the image and the glory

the ancient lies
and modern ties

that bind the fading story

[gravey420]

the stars shine bright above my head
i can see them through the gaps of the dark green canopy
as i lie here between a distant war and a suspicious future
the wheels begin turning in my mind
before they lock in place
opening an inner door to the memory ive found...


the battle rage still holds me trembling in its grasp
as i close the eyes of anothers fallen son
a faint breeze swirls past my head diverting the familiar path of the tears i shed

an eerie harmony
high and no more than a whisper
seems to be borne on the breeze
as it carries the soul of this golden haired youth
away above and beyond my reach

"that sound holds no pain"

[gravey420]

In case you hadnt heard this is the truth of the world
your asleep to keep you from dreaming
you buy to keep you breeding
you die to keep you sleeping

stare at the sun stare at the sun stare at the sun stare at the sun
what a world of fun what a world of fun what a world of fun

DADDY WONT YOU TAKE ME TO DISNEYLAND!!!
DO IT NOW OR ILL SLIT MY SISTERS THOROAT
DONT GIVE ME THAT SHIT ABOUT THE ECONOMY
YOU WORK FOR ME SO FUCKING FEED ME
BIG MACS LARGE FRIES DONT FORGET TO SUPERSIZE
DO IT OR ILL KILL YOU IN YOUR SLEEP
SO WE ALL MAKE HEADLINE NEWS
now i gotta dance the blues

im sowing the seeds
of future deeds
for a lighter breed
for the collective dream
of heaven on earth
self guided system
to feel the power of my birth
to embrace my circumstance
the timeline dances
before my eyes
leading me forward
and backward
its all the same(its all now)
take me somewhere new
speak to me
in a new language
the twin eyes of perception and deception
stare back at me
burn them both
embrace resurrection
of the moment
of eternity
of intention
of misinterpritation
of peace love happylove love
the time of dancing draws near
but the shadows coming up the rear

like all desire bred from lacking
itll pass as an ill wind

I like this one very much.

***

Retreat into the unknown
Absorbed into space

This spirit has flown
From the human race

***

[chrysoprase]

WAITING FOR DIRECTIONS

When will I know?
I've been waiting so long
To hear it's time to go

My ears are straining
To hear the song
But it won't stop raining

And it's been so long
Longer than we know

But still, I guess
There's a reason for today.

And my life is a mess

I'm in a trap
I can't get away
I look for the map

To lead me
From empty nights
And cruel days
That besiege me

And I'm at war
With these demons
That claim me as their own

When all I really want
Is to go home

And it's been so long
Longer than we know

[chrysoprase]

**

The cynic in me grows
As my heart begins to cramp
The love I dearly chose
Has proven to be a tramp

**

[chrysoprase]

Upward and forward
Into the sky
Because when I look back
I wanna cry

Wishing and praying
I go the right way
In a circle of madness
I won't stay

I remember the day
My spirit got crushed
And trampled upon
And I completely
Lost my way

And I was opened
To the wicked world
For when all hope dies
That's what happens

A call for help
In the darkness
Someone looked upon me
And pulled me back up

Now hope I will keep
In my heart so securely
And never let go
Of my dreams

For somewhere out there
Somebody cares
And sent a star
To watch over me

I'm neither black or white
I'm neither rich nor poor
Do i have a name
I'm not really sure
Are you left or right,happy or sad
People always go
What is all this fuss about
I'm a child dont you know

I've come into this world
With an open heart and mind
To love and respect others
And treat them as i find
I need to have expriences
So i can learn and grow
For me that is essential
I'm a child dont you know

Teach me not your prejudice
Your bitterness and hate
And spare me your religous gods
So mighty and so great
Let me form my own beleifs
And I'll reep what I sow
Im not yet an adult
I'm a child dont you know

I know what I'll do
With this precious life of mine
I'm going to be the best i can
To flourish and to shine
I'll keep my head up high
When I am feeling low
I know what your thinking
I'm a child dont you know

Now I am no one special
But I'm very much unique
And this truth within ourselves
Is something we must seek
Abandoning fear is the only thing
That you yourself must do
And please remember just one thing
You were once a child too

[cryst4l]

The hurt
The pain
The thought of disdain.

Tears roll form my cheeks,
as the energy and anguish rises through my veins.

Life is never easy,
but my, she is showing me how hard.

Such treacherous acts
from people with such Love.

Deep passions boil within,
Why, what, where how can this be?

Life was never meant to be treated this way.

With all the power and energy I can muster.

I put back to you what you gave to me.

I give all I can give and hope and pray.

Here again... vision in frame, depths of a spiral just drive me insane.
End of the line, familiar wake. Duration feels short in emotional stake.
Open and run. You’ll make it, I swear. Immersed in confusion, too much to bear.
Dispersed through the tunnel, circle is laid. The price of a beam must be re-paid.

Into the capsule, fiery flame. Horizon formalities chosen again.
Urgency measured, momentum contained. Memory blurred under plateau ordained.

Into the capsule, fiery flame. Horizon formalities chosen again.
Encryption to follow once notably gained, auspicious intent from creation restrained.

Awesome poem.
Would make a great grunge rock song.

Gawwwwwwsh thanks

[aventurine]

I wrote this a couple of years ago, it was my first attempt at poetry for several years, it was borne out of some pretty dark emotions, as you will tell once you read it, lol. Thought I would add it to this great thread anyways. Thanks for sharing guys


THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON


In fear and doubt my heart dost weep
Where darkness dwells and passion sleeps

Herein this inky dead-of-night
The Dark Queen reigns with all her might

Those murky shadows wrap around
Myself, in stealth, without a sound

Cold blackness my only company
Until my mind doth set me free

Oh! hear the melancholic tune
That plays on the dark side of the moon

And here I pray, my lover's arms to heal
The lonliness and despair I feel

Amidst this god-forsaken place
As silent tears roll down my face

[2013]

Some very good work here people . I have spoken to a lot of friends lately who all seem to be writing poetry recently , some creative force in the air .
I wrote this one the other day after reading another thread that had degenrated into dispute .

There just ideas to bounce around
some absurd and some profound
Were would we be without questions
asking leads to new suggestions .
While were exchganging our ideas
they provoke some anger and others fears
although this is not the intention
necessity's the mother of invention .
Sometimes its good to just debate
and keep our cool not foster hate
the time it is almost too late
so hopefully we can all relate
and consider all we meet a mate .
If some consider this lovey dovey stuff
dont get stressed or in a huff
What is it we are striving for
a world of peace make love not war
though we seem to be living 1984
lets not argue any more
good feelings dont do no harm
we dont want a repeat of animal farm
were we become what we all hate
so join the forums mass debate!
At least we have the internet to thank
for all this intellectual wank .

[pedsi]

Talk to the man who's listening
Instead of shouting at one who's not
For the listener remembers somethimg
Something the others have forgot
He knows he knows nothing
In all there is to know
And when your words ring true to him
His attention he will show

The others know it all
There is nothing you can say
To help them change their lives
In a truely empowering way
They have all they want
They have all they need
Materialistic trophies
And an ego fueled by greed

Concerve all your energy
And hold the listener dear
Instead of wasting time
On a soul that cannot hear
One day they will realise
As they look at what they've got
Where is all the happiness
This lot should have brought
Thats when he'll start listening
Instead of being a man who's not

[chrysoprase]

The Lobby

Misery
Is all I get
And as far
As I can see
I'll never be
Happy

Misery
Is my path in life
the ocean tide
Swallows me

And carries me
Out to the sea
Of endless gloom
Despair and doom

I'm sitting in
the waiting room
Of misery.

***
Weather Veins

Rainclouds
Choke my throat
Trying to escape

Angry tremors
Shake my body
Causing it to quake

Then little lakes
Fill my eyes
and irrigate my face

***

the visions bring me back
To wandering hills
Of Emerald Green
Pyramids
Back in the memory
Labyrinth
Warm watersac
Embryo of time

Disapearing into
Dimension unknown
To forefront minds
Cannot remember

But try, try so hard.

They who scream;
Shall find their dreams;
And shout no more, no more, no more.

The time has come for the rebel divine;
It has come the time for us to shine.

No more dim lights and closet doors for the rebel to hide its talent;
We must speak out and scream and shout, to what does this amount?

No more, no more, no more, no more;
We can surely take no more.

But for circumstance we cannot be heard with a more than powerful word;
To long held back from the norms of the world;
Surely this should be considered absurd.

With fire and storm I come to you as you must hear my honest plight;
The wages of war are just too unfair, I fear we may have to take flight.
