Poetry or Writing

I'm cold, breathless
Frozen
Dormant like the rosebush in the wintertime
Waiting for my time to wake
when winter finally breaks
spring will come to bring me life,
to grow again,
My thorns are sharp
my petals red
this is what ive become in the after life.

Into the Darkness

I woke up alone today,
And I thought what has happened?
I think for hours all by myself,
When I stumble upon the reason I am simply saddened.

I am cold now and looking for warmth,
But no warmth is to be found.
I learned why I am cold,
As my tears hit the ground.

I am lost in the darkness,,
My light has disappeared.
I have lost my way,
And no pathway is near.

I am missing a piece of me,
Where has it gone?
The piece is you,
I must somehow push on.

Though alone you are in my heart,
Though cold you are warming me,
Though lost you are my guide,
‘Till we meet again together our hearts will be.

This is the story of the one that i lost.The saddest part is that it is all my fualt.I could have done better and been able to keep her,but my life got the better of me and it all went down hill. I'd known her forever and I always will until I forget her, but she will be remembered in my heart always.
Thank you life and the piece of shit hand you dealt me. I had to suffer and make my own families, destroy myself only to build it back, learn the horrors of the world to early and have to face them so soon, thank you for this death that you handed me.

No one reads this anymore, but here's one I wrote today about how I'm feeling lately:


Abandon my heart
for a foolish desire
live with regret
stay warm by its fire.

The one want of all
and the choice so clear
a world fall shattered
and falls with it a tear

The fullness of heart
once red and now black
As I push all away
there is no turning back.

The cure is now hidden
behind a door of disease
and to know all the answers
only two hold the key.

But the want must be present
and the feelings felt true
or nothing will show
to the eyes of the two.

With all that I've seen
and all that I've heard
I ask only for
three caring words.

But before they are said
by the ones that I wish
the one that I don't
first must know this:

I cannot be there
if I don't want to be
Your life is for you
And will never include me.

You wish for my heart
but it is mine to give
so, on without you
my life I will live.

Running, running, running, running, falling, slowly, turning. Spinning in circles, eyes a blur. Where have I been nothing's for sure. Back and forth. I torture myself. All for you, only for you, always for you.

Makes sense, though I personally believe love to be more complex and perplexing than that description. Just recently I had someone tell me that, even though she loves me, she can't be with me, and I want for her so bad to just be in my arms. Figure that one out.

I'll post a couple, since no one has posted here in a few. I'm not going to read back through all the pages to find if this has been asked, but I was just wondering what music you like to listen to while you write? (I know most of us are usually listening to something.) I just wanted to take this opportunity to make a shameless plug for two suggestions that I find really get me inspired. Anything by Underworld (brilliance,) Massive Attack, and a new favorite of mine, a little known group called M83. These guys are absolutely PHENOMENAL, and I highly suggest their album I'm currently listening to, "Dead Cities, Red Seas, and Lost Ghosts."

Anywho, here's some pieces. (If I wasn't so lazy, I'd scan some drawings in for the other sticky post.)
-----------


Look to me with eyes open
Burning like flames evermore
Sear a whole through epic life
Burn a void in all that’s for sure
Break the back of just one more
Step to the edge of the truth
Stare to the terminal horizon
The pains of turmoil uncouth

Envision yourself on a trip down
The path flexes like ribbon
Strengths of all cast down
Fast-timed-heart-stop collision
Mix and match the desires
One in the same to a person
Taken not by ignorance inside
But enamored with indecision
Wearing not clothes but rags
In the dark of varying hope
And the lines flicker white
On the moving image dope

When two converge in fear
And two diverge in doubts
The solution to the equation
Reeks of troubled bouts
Turn still to the western sky
And the fading illumination
Easier than facing eastward
To the rising trepidation

Balance of mentality shifts
Quickly between extremes
Things are rarely what they are
Things are rarely what they seem
------------


And over and over again
Like ships on the waves
And breath after breath
We grasp blindly for our way
Like those vessels we drift
Tossed about our course
While always in fate’s hands
Come storm or rocky shore
Each to our own little craft
Beaten by wind, sea, and age
On our bows thrust breast out
To confront each passing wave
And sometimes, once in a while
When we’re most alone
The dark and fog part away
And we’re shown the path home.
------------


You know that feeling?
The emptiness inside.
When it all seems wrong,
And all you want is right.

You know that fear?
That your course is set.
No way to change it,
Just live with that regret.

You know that pain?
When you feel so alone.
And you just want someone,
To call your very own.

You know that burden?
To bear such heavy chains.
During what’s supposed to be,
A youthfully spirited age.

Sorry this is a belated reply, but when it comes to something as complex as love sometimes you just want to explain it with simplicity. Sometimes too many complex things at once makes it hard to write.... know what I mean?

Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was black as soot.

And every where that Mary went.....
his sooty foot he put.

[numbknutz]

See the pretty little bird?
Hear his merry little twill?
Chirping so happily on
my window sill;

I lured him near
with crumbs of bread;
And then I crushed his
fucking little head.

I worte this for the women i love. Because we live 17hrs apart and cant see each other untill i move next month. I am very diffrent from any one shes ever dated and her family might not execpt me so here it is. Not the best but oh well.

I cant help but wonder
will your family accept me and like me
or will they hate and despise me
I know at first glance im not what i seem to be
the loving man you know me to be
a bad day quicky goes away
your the only one who brightens up my day
when you laugh a smile is on my face
knowing soon ill be in a happier place
a place we can finally be together
where we can spend time doing whatever
i thought the pain would never end
never thought i could feel this way again
these past few months have been my wish
I cant thank you enough for this

[pnoiSR20]

Ok....this one is mine. I hope you like it.

-My Destiny-

Wat will my destiny bring???
Money clothes or bling bling???
Will i live in happiness or madness???
Or can it be sorrow or sadness???
WHo will i marry?
Will she be my fairy?
Will i be poor or rich?
I just hope i wont be somebody's bitch.
A destiny is something you choose,
One in which you cannot lose.

I am Henry the eighth I am,
Henry the eighth I am, I am,
I got married to the woman next door,
She's been married seven times before,
Second verse, same as first.


Not my material. Genius all the same.

[illegal_eagle187]

today is the day that i no longer look back at you
i have in my heart the true meaning of what you stand for
it rips my soul and heart of happiness
the presence of you breaks me down emotionally
my heart skips beats and i ponder endless thoughts
thoughts of joy and hapiness with you
those memories are all but real
imaginary depths of my mind which will not forget
the day my world stood still in a lapse of time
myself could not have speech, thoughts, emotions
on the events occuring

nights of endless talking, imagination expanding
what the future holds is nothing more than what
goes on in the mind
could any of this be possible, if so
i have yet to see the truth, only seeing and feeling
false ideas you have planted into my head

in the following days after the breakdown
i found myself asking why
why would you hurt me, all of the three
physically, emotionally, and verbally
suicide came into the mindset, but could not
grip myself to such an action
only action where i could lose everything
and you would win
i hope you are happy with the emotional pain
i am experiencing
i go by day to day hiding my true feelings
only to realize they will show themselves
one day, and one day you will see the true me
and what i have become

and that day is today

As I walked along the footpath one day, a thought crushed my mind. I woke up dazed, confused and in pain. It was mostly pain I felt though. Not really a tremendous pain, but more along the lines of that slow, steady, throb of pain. You know the kind.

I looked around for some assistance and found a familiar face in the distance. However...something was amiss. Something was wrong, yet I could not put my finger on it. The thought that crippled me had impared my vision to a certain degree, almost as though it was meant to keep me from seeing the wrong in the situation. What more could I do? I stumbled around the best I could, feeling blindly for a breath of life. Something. Anything. Yet...nothing; there was nothing.

When the initial shock of this passed, I found myself going over my newfound thought, among the several new ones I now had in mind. To my surprise, that which caused the crippling blow was none other than a manifestation of the unknown, wreaking of fear. As one could imagine, this did not help the predicament I was already in. Now not only was I blind to what fixed my interest, but I was now becoming increasingly afraid of what the truth might be.

Apprehension, how you knew me all to well. It was indeed been a while since we last had tangled--not short enough in my own eyes--and you certainly took your shots then. How unfair it was that you might find me so weak and dejected. Although...I doubt you would have had me any other way.

Nonetheless, if fight I must, then fight I would. I would destroy you with that which I did not have upon our last meeting. I would survive you by simply existing.

Oh how sweet it was to see you fall. The taste in my mouth was sweeter than any wine.



And then, all at once, I caught glimpse of it. A soothing, beautiful light coming strangly closer. Her face...so...beautfiul. I know this woman. Her hands are so smooth on my face as she stares into it with those soft brown eyes.

"Are you alright?"

As I sit up and look around, I realize I am back at home...in my bed. How strange a feeling this is to feel so out of place in my own skin. Were it not for the angel beside me now, I fear nothing would seem right, even when they are just as they should be.

As I finally rest my heart and focus on my surroundings, the sun is beginning to come up. Time to rest--for as long as I can anyway--until the electronic box next to me says a new day is beginning.

Sleep...

...A welcome escape from my own mind...for now....

[Got Torque?]

ok, this may not be that great but its coming directly from my feelings.

Everything i see reminds me of you,
i wish these thoughts would go away,
but they never do,
forget, i wish i may,
but i dont know how,
i dont know whats wrong with me,
i wish i could find out,
please, God let her see,
that without her, i would not be.
------------------------------------------------
My love for you is endless,
like the depths of the sea,
when i lay in bed at night,
i wish you were lying here with me,
nothing can define, the feelings that i have for you,
all i can say is: i dont know what to do,
i just need to know,
do you love me so?
i wish that whats in front of you is what you really see,
because whats in front of you,
has always been me.
for Leah
