poetry?

Discussion in 'The Artist's Corner' started by docleary, May 16, 2009.

  1. the first few are about the girl i'm currently "seeing", we dated in the past and i wrote most of these during the time between:


    ah, the finest ecstasies,
    riding a burning arrow
    scythe of youthful thought along.
    ha!
    miseries unknown to little ladies.
    o! gloried wine!
    take me to that sunny shore
    and leave all thoughts of her behind.
    o! gloried wine!
    your bottles clink as i dance this dance.
    how you make me spin and love.
    love for another.
    lover to no-other.
    my skull splits now,
    you've departed.
    but o! how i love all your think power.


    --------------------------


    her eyes flash past present + future -
    a thousand moving pictures in black + white
    flowers bloom, trees sway, birds dive
    i know this cannot be mine (again)
    transfixed by her beauty, i cannot reach her
    i am helpless, a prisoner in my memory of her presence
    i lost my chance; i cannot reach her.


    ------------------------------


    to smoke the free love
    roll me up in sainted secrets
    for in me sleeps another free ape of
    smoke broke fire far eclipsed.
    painted nirvana seeks a different angle
    when relics come crashing down.
    erase my cocaine marooned mind -
    you're a sweet paradise in this hell.
    love walked to the home of sorrow, and
    cried out in fortunate pain:
    warm me, voodoo priestess dream.


    -------------------------------
    pull the shades,
    take a break.
    make a change in pace.
    let me take you in my arms - forget the world
    ain't no harm gon' touch us.
    let me take you in my arms - forget the world
    but you stole it right away,
    that's the price i got to pay
    thinkin back to the days
    for rememberin when
    it was so easy then
    try it again
    i'll ne'er see my heart again.
    pull the shades (who cares what the neighbors say)
    take a break (just live it for today)
    listen to the raindrops
    help me help you - forget the world.


    --------------------------


    oh babe, why you gotta be this way?
    baby baby why you gotta be this way?
    you say you found love besides mine
    how you say, how you say it's so divine
    you got me so blue,
    lord i hope his love love love is true
    i hope his love matches mine
    but how you say, how you say it's so divine,
    so so so divine,
    how'm i gonna match it with mine?
    we gonna get high,
    and that's how we gonna get by
    baby baby that's how we gonna get by.



    -------------------------------
    this last one is about a different girl, a girl who cheated on me:


    longer we tried,
    so soon it died.
    long as we tried,
    why let it die?
    is this the station?
    the final destination?
    what the fuck am i sayin'?
    all i wanted an'
    all i tried for.
    don't care anymore
    just wish it away,
    every fucking day.
    and all i could say,
    'course shit meant nothing.
    only meant everything.
    what can i show,
    to make you know,
    just how it is i feel?
    want me to kneel,
    beg, bed, fuck?
    the hopes and prays,
    the better days,
    the faraways,
    forget it.


    you're in my head,
    but then,
    i was in your bed.
    are you really that much a whore?
    me, too fucked up to care anymore.
    first you poisoned my will,
    then you treated me like all this filth.
    you ARE that much a whore.
    but me, too fucked up to care anymore.
    another someday
    but in no other way,
    could i pull back the sheets?
    leave you to deal with the heat?
    you were always good at that.
    to that, i tip my hat.
    even after everything,
    you're the queen and i'm the king,
    nothing else means anything.


    i'd go back to bed,
    but you're all that's in my head.
    please make it stop.
    just first get me to the top.
    i've done all i can do,
    could i please come with you?
    you've made me feel obscene,
    but you won't find it in any magazine.
    you fucking little bitch,
    now you've itched that itch,
    can't you just fucking leave?
    you've had your fun,
    and i'm fucking done,
    but before you get off your knees,
    don't forget to give a little squeeze.
    not a drop to waste,
    for it's not that bad once you're over the taste.


    i borrowed a bit from "the fragile" by NIN for the last one. sue me.



    so i guess, take it as you will. i hope you enjoyed it. :eek:
     
  2. I like your writing man, it flows really well..really liked the 3rd one.. and forget the world, that one was really deep man, i relate to it I guess haha, it's really good man..
     
  3. pull the shades,
    take a break.
    make a change in pace.
    let me take you in my arms - forget the world
    ain't no harm gon' touch us.
    let me take you in my arms - forget the world
    but you stole it right away,
    that's the price i got to pay
    thinkin back to the days
    for rememberin when
    it was so easy then
    try it again
    i'll ne'er see my heart again.
    pull the shades (who cares what the neighbors say)
    take a break (just live it for today)
    listen to the raindrops
    help me help you - forget the world.


    Thats awesome. Seems like it would be very catchy.
    Its all really really good. Deep.

    thanks man.

    i dig your writing, if you want, i'm always online lol, so i'd be willing to read more of your writing if you're willing to share.

    edit - here's one i just wrote for that girl i mentioned in the original post once we got back together -

    that girl i love, she got long black hair
    darin to live it without a care
    we lost time, ain't so simple as pressing rewind
    i could be out of my mind but
    maybe there's something you oughta know
    my maybe baby, lets reap the love we've sown
    it can't be as hard as stayin' apart,
    so i'm beggin' you baby, just open your heart
    all it took was one look in your eyes,
    i knew i had to try, to have you by my side.

    i feel kinda iffy about that one, like i tried too hard to rhyme.
     
  5. It wasn't to be,
    And I knew it from the start.
    These ashes prove it.
    We just fucked around,
    Wasting time while stuck in this world.
    Nothing more.
    I found,
    Staring at the sun,
    That as of today,
    There was no love.
    Just wisps like clouds,
    Enough to block out the harsh reality
    of living in a dying world.
    And now I'm to face this reality,
    Not hiding in dreams
    Of what is and isn't,
    And what never was.
    All that remains are the ashes,
    Illuminated by the light of our closest star.


    ----------------------------------------------------


    Earth open, waiting for one daring enough.
    She steps from safety, plummeting
    As would a broken angel.
    Eyes refocusing,
    She is suddenly aware of
    A noise from her forgotten past.
    The soft ticking of a pocket-watch.
    Even in the dark, alone, this
    Sound brings a feeling of security.
    Then a voice, excitedly
    Complaining on his management
    Of that which thrives on memories.
    A soft bubbling to the right,
    Accompanied by a brief contented sigh
    Spoken through that a warning
    To beware the double-edged sword of spore print.
    The digression of spoken word rings true
    From within the stained white statue,
    A stained prison for the brave soul within.


    --------------------------------------------------


    Hope, the most perversely used Emotion,
    Hope is that illusive light when you close your eyelids,
    Still trying to call to remembrance the face of a memory.
    The most human expression used freely,
    Without remorse and without serious thought to a concept understood by no one.
    Just an expression to be used when the speaker wants something just beyond their grasp.
    Hope had been used until it became a mere shadow,
    Sought by all those in need of an object, a service.
    We hope to live individually, all the while in equality as well,
    But it is all in vain.
    Hope was destroyed by the human mind.
    Distorted by technology,
    Disrespectful of memories
    We retain the hope to see what could have been.
    Speak of hope, and remember your selfishness.
    But remember despair, and speak of your selflessness.
     
  6. another sleepless bump... something i started a little bit ago:

    i built you into a goddess those dark days
    painting pretty pictures of coulda-beens
    now its happened i'm shocked at the outcome
    wasn't it supposed to be perfect?
    looking past those pretty pictures i see rot and lies
    your magic is now lost to my eyes, it leaves me unsatisfied.
     
  7. Wrote me a blues song :D

    I’m going to put a rope around my neck
    Honey, I’m going to put a rope around my neck
    I ain’t got no freedom, I ain’t got no joy
    I’m going to put a rope around my neck.

    Honey, keep me shackled and run down
    Lord, keep me shackled and run down
    Keep my feet broke and my mind bound
    Until I’m buried beneath the ground.

    Come to cry in a black veil
    Honey, come cry for me in your veil
    Honey, the day I die, won’t you come cry
    At my funeral, in your veil?

    And come lay on my grave
    Lord won’t you lay upon my grave?
    I ain’t going to touch you, I’m dead and cold
    But you here on earth remain.

    And you’re going to grow old and poor
    You’re going to grow all old and poor
    And I thank you honey, I woulda blown my head off
    If I’d lived to be 25 or more.

    And you’re going to die in a chair
    Honey, you’ll die trapped in your chair
    And baby, you wouldn’t wanna know
    How proud I feel when you’re dying over there.
     
  8. Spend your time behind the wall,
    Build it up enough to let it fall.
    Let it fall, all the way down,
    Bricks forgotten lay all ‘round.
    Each a memory, smeared with regret,
    Firmly set, an attempt to forget.
    Your mind a basin, due to tip,
    All it took was one little slip.
    Pushed to the edge, unprotected back,
    One option left, and that's attack.
