New poems and stuff

Discussion in 'The Artist's Corner' started by COMPLEX, May 4, 2010.

  1. A bit ago I wrote some poems and writings that I posted. Here are some new ones. Again, some are while high, some not.

    "Forever, in Real Time"

    Coarse tongues spit disgust
    At the forgotten fathers of lost children
    The feather, swift, rises above hills
    Then dives toward the sea to die
    Martyrs of water drown in despair

    You drink away our sorrows
    And shoot your fellow man
    Mothers cry and wallow
    Accordingly, as planned

    A fire in your home
    Invisible, yet clear
    If you would only care to look
    But glued to glass you are my dear

    The mouth of glass in this land
    Cuts the lips of You
    Yet you kiss with such a passion,
    Your hands are turning blue
    You grasp her by the waist for warmth
    But glass is cold you fool
    You die and sink-through the ground
    As she smiles, darkly, down at you

    And down we all spiral
    Endlessly, we think as men
    But there is ground beneath us
    The inevitable, you dread

    Angels have wings
    To help them get down slow
    Man has the winds
    But-will God make them blow?

    Should I wander and go strive
    And feel the angst of passion's tries?
    Whatever road I take
    I will keep in touch old friend
    FOREVER by letter, heart, and fate
    But forever, too, will meet it's end

    "Crazy"

    (To be performed, said, and experienced whispering)
    Keep it poetic. Don't make it sound like hip-hop song rhyming verses, you know?


    Crazy?
    Crazy is the deaf wishing not to see while
    The mute hear nonsense
    Spoken by the blind.
    I'm gonna need some time, off
    Of my ass- busy.
    Silly little mice
    Gather dust, metal rusts
    At twice the speed of yesterday's life
    Crazy
    And you sigh
    Relief or distress?
    We do the same to love AND detest
    The music of life has been turned down so we can hear our own voices
    But how can we say anything without having HEARD and LEARNED from REAL noises?
    Crazy
    the creatures in the sea, like we, are a part of the original kin
    Ancestry traces back to blacks and poisonous gas at God's whim
    And scars are stronger than original skin
    So why are we scared to fall at gravity's whim?
    We rather die than feel pain when it's solemn
    A permanent solution to a TEMPORARY problem
    Crazy
    We always ask our children
    “What have you learned?”
    But we should cry, for my reply is
    “What have you taught them?”

    "The Toe-testers"

    I set foot on your waters, using lips to blow ashes. Cold. Ice turns to a welcome mat and I see you now... how beautiful you are... how little I remember. The time apart has hung you by your ankles, but our hooks are the same. We are together again. So rest now, beloved. Until the sun allows us more time, when you wake.

    Personally, though I like these, the last post had some of my favorites. Thanks for reading. If you'd like me to post the other ones again here, let me know and I'd be glad.
