    I'm not sure how into poetry you blades are, but I just thought I'd share what I've come up with so far to see if I can get some constructive criticism, or just comments letting me know what you think. So on that note:

    "Cycles"

    Breathe
    Expand
    Inflate
    Absorb
    Feel the tide
    The shore washing away
    to repeat the cycle
    The river of emotion


    "Perpetuate"

    The pendulum sways
    one decision to the next
    Each choice gaining momentum
    until flow takes stride
    Coast into freedom


    "Nurture"

    Soft is your rhythm nature, subtle in your course.
    Destinations still uncertain, but beginning from your source.
    Patterns found within your chaos, defined by what's inside.
    Sensualize the constant static, create each our guide.
    Without your journey mother, rest is all we'd be.
    Expanding all our options, infinite in what we see.​


    "Doorbell"

    Why does vision appear separate?
    like a home with no owner.
    Order bombarding the senses,
    creating this illusion.
    When will the door open?
    seeing home is within us all.
    Unified in experience,
    denying our own relationships.
    Matter is secondary.
    Home is where the truth lies.​

    "Anxiety"

    Clawing and fighting for peace of mind
    Always digging for something to find
    Filling my head with empty thoughts
    Mental army shooting vocal assaults

    The void expressed through words of worry
    standing on trial to the endless jury
    Someday the wind will take away my sorrow
    and replace it with the peace it borrowed

    edit:
    "Orbit"

    Satelite in transmission
    Undergoing its own ascension
    Shifting gears to find its place
    It observes itself to correlate
    Signal found? Signal lost?
    Change the station, static tossed
    Seasons change, orbit flows
    Ascend until the signal shows​

    Thanks man! I'm a big fan of writing down ideas so I thought I'd try to translate them into poetry.. Glad someone got something out of it.. btw, your welcome to post some of yours if you feel like sharing.

    Your very welcome for the highdea too! lol.
     
  5. "Infinite"

    Micro into macro
    Self defined by its whole
    Matter creating this illusion
    separate is a delusion
    obscurity in its state of being
    Who I am is the light within
     
  6. "Heaven"

    Explosion
    of cosmic dust
    weave eternity into meaning
    Flying high on the seas of unity
    Feeling the chemicals all convening

    Beauty can't explain this, perfection at its finest
    A speck of sand within the beach, the water is what I seek

    Antenna set, wired in. The matrix flows like a siren. Wake up. look.
    See the sound? Vibrations creating this solid ground. Just a glitch. Just a glitch.
     
  7. Nice! *subscribed*

    I like your subject matter and diction a lot. Rhyme, where it exists, seems a bit forced/predictable...I can't really explain what I'm trying to say very well, but it'll go away as you write more and more and put rhymes in your rhymes and then rhymes in your rhymes' rhymes' rhymes, etc. (Cuz that's "constructive" feedback, I know...:rolleyes:)

    Here's a few random snippets of my work (all pretty outdated at this point):
    Inadequate by DonaldJones on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

    Cycles by DonaldJones on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free
    ^Sorta trailed (or maybe tripped?) off at the end there, but the beginning is spoken word lol.

    Analeptic by DonaldJones on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free
    ^This one's more of a song, but the third verse contains probably my favorite spoken-word-ish type thing I've ever done.
     
  8. Thanks a lot for the criticism man! I know what your saying for sure. I like to think I'm good with words, its just the rhyming I'm not really familiar with.. Hopefully I'll be able to learn a flow with less predictable words eventually.

    Heading to your links now.

    For whatever reason, my phones browser would only play Analeptic? Nice lyrics though! I could definitely relate to them.. I'll have to try the others when I get home.
     
  10. "Society"

    Typhoon rising, mental cavity
    Language soaring, empty gravity
    Stuck inside this vortex tragedy
    Fear apparent, rigid atrophy
    Instant storm, desolate strategy
    Erasing hope systematically​

    "Master and its Servant"

    Bruised and callused is the body, torn with emotion from limb to limb
    Its subtle eddy's flow throughtout, the fish travel so I can live
    Waves created by its heart, it surfs to the place up high
    Sending pulses of embrace, it sings me this one lullaby

    My senses bring in the music, played from all around me
    Its wires light so bright, the treble almost drowns me
    Creating melody for pure enjoyment, its still lost without its master
    Encoding faith throughtout its life, enforcement by the mental hacker

    Cascade this body into eternity​

    "Time"

    Moments weave, web gives way
    Change enforced, always today
    Evolve the mind, material will follow
    Time will say, "Never tomorrow"
    Metaphysical in its prime,
    Coersion at its finest
    Adapt​

    "Magnet"

    Actions fulfilled by judgement, ropes pulled every which way
    Lasso this mind old cowboy, it's the risk we all must pay
    Tugging and pulling on my freedom, tired is an understatement
    These ropes capsulate my choice, pirates for common enslavement
    Untie me please politician, I no longer choose to play
    The ropes wore thin you see, strings snap when you betray
    Each side holds its charge, you've chose yours, I'll choose mine
    Freedom comes in the middle, ropes are doused in alkaline​
     
  14. "Grudgement Day"

    Guardian of animosity
    bare resemblance to death
    Soul deposited in vengeance
    scolds your complexion
    Pessimistic in its being
    defying all agreeance
    Adopt malignant grievance
    foreshadowing its dissonance
    Belligerent in intention
    is its personal resentment

    "Perception"

    Sensual tree flux
    Paradise
    Leafs blossom
    Luminescent
    Thoughts entrain like water
    elevate its feast
    Sun radiates
    supply its seed
    Fertilised mind
    full of knowledge
    Conception flows
    fulfil its home
    Wind sheds foliage
    solarise its season
     
  16. "Hello Old Friend"

    The screen magnifies its color
    The light shines bright through this window...
    What an amazingly cyclical show it is...
    Full of patterns, vocal displays
    Natures way to say "Hello, your welcome"
    Brings a smile to say "Hey, I'll stay"​

    "Hall of Mirrors"

    Structure incorruptable
    but yet it's melted glass
    ready to break
    is this physical.
    unity?

    I see the walls blueprint
    drawn out by its author

    lines.
    patterns.
    define its form.

    Parallel are these lines
    infinite hazy reflection

    Where these lines meet
    Is beyond imagination

    I've found the combination
    The safe is one
    Each number unlocks its meaning
     
  18. Pure blue eyes contrast to autumn red hair,
    with a presence that lightens any room.
    I think of things to say before I enter your space.
    I choke on my own words and feel such a fool.
    Keeping me up after light mind circulating over
    things I should have said. I'll shave off my head
    and start again. Re-generation baby fresh skin

    Beautiful paintings and flowers and songs,
    can be viewed one way, they don't look back.
    I feel the same way looking at you.
    No idea of your thoughts. Trying to read expressions.
    Infinitely complex, I love you so much it makes me sick.
    I'm so damn confused. Frustrated. Determined.

    Ecstasy thinking of the next time we're going to meet.
    Planting seeds that turn into trees, just a teenage dirt-bag
    putting thoughts on a paper. You're like my addiction but
    I don't think it's a problem. We could be like Sid and Nancy,
    but our story will have a happy ending.
     

  19. I just fell in love this haha you got talent dude. It sounds rediculously similar to this
