There is a place they say
composed of machinery built by the blood of their children and the bones of their elders Silver hatchet in the sky it's engine's name is ∞ and fueled by Χάος it's remains all rust Hungry, we feed on the rot while the elders turn to kipple and their children drink the black milk from the iron idol Edited by NecroManiac - September 17 2006 at 18:39 |

Today I sit here writing
poetry and such I always start off with something good but it never ends up as much My rhyme scheme is all mangled My syllables don't line up I cannot seem to be able to follow the well known a/b/a/b scheme nor keep within reasonable line lenghts And I can't think of a rhyme for "up" In fact, I probably could have thought of a rhyme for "up" But nay, I was too lazy, To rhyme a word with "up" What, you say I'm pulling this poem Right here right out of my ass? I'm certainly not improvising it, whyeverso do you ask? |

Red Red Rose
My love is a red, red, rose
that I give to you today.
Its beautiful I've said, i've said,
what I give to you today
A symbol of a promise
a sign of dedication
a nimble thought
a twine of hope
a way to elope
with one who is
and one who does
to have undone one'ss kiss
that one was
All those before,
and all those who proceed
Receive this rose,
but are who I mislead
I hide who I truley adore,
and to confess would be sin.
So today as I leave your door,
hold onto this rose and keep it close
keep it well and keep it wet
someplace safe to set
adore it, cherish it,
as long as you can
It will stay there to look nice
it will stay there to smell nice
it will stay there as long as roses stay
But as we all know,
roses fade away
The smells diminish
the colours grow dim
And this rose will die
The way I feel,
the thoughts I have
will cease to exist
the way they had
But by this time
I'm gone
I've moved on
A new girl:
a new rose
A new symbol of a promise,
a sign of dedication
That in the end mean nothing
becasue in the end
They die

Observations of a Common Experience
Understanding is frustrated by achievement. Purpose, made an artifact of pride. It is a dense fog which tapers our sight. And cups our ears to those behind? To embrace empty. The uneasy security of loose despair. Certain clarity is gained by immersion. Coincided with horrors of echoed splashing. Gently the water cradles the body. While threats of drowning strobe the mind. And how easy to wade in shallow water. |

Sometimes when I am riding in a van
I look at the window and I think it's raining But then I realize it's just squished bugs |

Monday -
A day heavy with dread, and A week ahead, grey with portents. Sun can shine unheeded, but rain always noted. Mind unfettered, But with depression bloated. |

Yesterday was grey
I decided it was fantastic and gay! So goes the epic Marcella Raising his crowned horn With the double-breasted crest of gold Maise. |

Some of you may be interested in hearing my tribute to the late Pip
Pyle. It's a poem based around Phlakaton, his "drum solo for voices"
from Of Queues And Cures. You can download it here: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=6797FEAB1985ACF3

Conflict
Watching the second-hand tick away the time Aware of heavy thoughts on the peripheral of my mind A heavy heart beats slowly within its cage of flesh I need a way out, I need escape from this mess She offers comfort but for a breath only Told me she'd come and that she was lonely Guess that's ok 'cause I'm that way too Know this is wrong but what can I do? So if you see me don't pass me by Just stop for a minute and look in my eye Tell me I'm real, that life does not end When troubled thoughts conflict and emotions contend Maybe one day I'll find who I am Pick up the pieces, walk out like a man But until then, please be a friend A smile to look at, a strong hand to lend |

Silence, solitude and sequencing
II These dogs are of a furios character seemingly growling even when they're actually laughing within their eyes you see yourself blurry but clearly dissociated. You get frightened, you understand finally what is wrong about your will; these dogs tend not to kill, just to care and to make yourself an illuminated entity; a lucky one; a vibrant string collapsing into dazzling censure Gives you what no one can; makes you fall in love, like a blossomed vigor; wants out of you the unwanted: charisma and power are fake attributes, you'll never be astute, dear child, you'll be the dog's raw lunch. Cerberus, fetch! Thursday comes as the best day To go to themall and to stand by the falling cascade, down there, by the demisol Artificial air, overflown breeze plus the hum of people being silent in its stillness. But that's an image. Where's reality? And how will you adapt? I'm here, my darling I'm comfy I'm happy I'm satisfied I want you I even dream of you; I have it all I desire all I'm the one I'm the only one I'm the last one I don't want any of this nor do I need any of this given the truth I respect. What's the purpose of this? What stays and what goes? Well I'm the one staying And you're the one going, old friend, the last Of them all, who vanquished. I stay as to reach Nirvana's dead point, where whispers are of infatuos caliber also of the melodic tone. In a twist beat. It's the entire sky that upsets me, cloudless; brightful; looks so meschine and full of himself; people seem to like a white ray coming from the unexpected and unexplainable place of wonders and calamities. Judge that while taking time to experience everything and anything. One day, of the future time, Yggdrasill shall collapse and thus shall come the world's dead end Ragnarok. One peasant down the corner of the street mentions both the end and infinite rumbling doomsday, respectively bloomsday. And I, the stupid, see quintessence in that, as in all that isn't and won't. Down the darkness comes the light God didn't make. The one of pretty much all fears, condensed however in hopes of some sort. The imaginative ones at least. In the sad flicker I close my eyes; it isn't working; him stands still there. |

I lie with the serpent break
It makes me ache with indescribable hate I don't understand why my time must fly But you know as well as I... That's just the by and by! |

Silence, solitude and sequencing
I As you open the book, light gets revealed under the most fake impression that you can actually see it there goes the outdoor contact and the vital knowledge from which, in sleep, you live to tell the story. One decreptive and sometimes in colors that don't fit with what you're wearing and sometimes one that resembles a future long passed and a wish long killed. Desperate soldiers immortalize the frame and clear out any suspicions, to come in advantage. You can't read the signs therefore you ask someone else to give you the grave detail. Nobody? Where is that joy of telling your clueless thought? Go, and with that, don't go. Comfort is a waste, the rich taste is a benefic slough. Die and close win and stop wanting humanity's close pestilential hope. Piano strings pinched, pitched, patched. The more you know the better you realize. With big letters, lies written "Drescalusa, Menecaduca, Isar" By the melted face man. The author hums the indescribable. Stop at the flashlight signal and go hysterical over the cause of waiting doom's syllabified connection. Up front, the rusty train; down below, Eleusys. God, the fearsome flaw, broke the spell of can-made Babel-isle, making thralls curios and imposing new definitions and interpretations of the word, so simple, can each day by each person in a way just for that person meant to be. Obliged, I can't communicate with my girl, close spouse, future victim, about the faceless demon that appears on the bedroom walls saying ka-boo. I fear you, but not like that. Let's watch it. Then we'll see what's to be done. Enthusiastic. The world is made out of fixed ideas and improvised emotion, reaching a sensible chord only when taken too seriously by the persons without anything to complain about. With a short, simple poem you get what you want or do even more. Thus in my celebrated poem I say I don't live among humans at which comes a voice, a response saying offuscated Don't be silly, you do live among humans at which I defend my idea what idea, my belief! saying No, I don't at which, once more Yes, you do! at which No, I don't!! the poem struck gold being only considered too frightening for the common taste. Not everybody gets the miraculous gift of comprehension. Not everybody loves another of his own, like asked. Open door Enter room Close curtains Lie down Stop breathing You're safe. I just know something wrong's going to happen, but I get asked to keep my voice down, in face I get rudely advised to shut my mouth and to drive safely across the bridge whose end melts the horizon. The thing I fear is that somebody, anybody will be there, living its life in a normal way, at the bridge's end, up in that desert-town- strangled-paw. That can only, and for surely, mean that I have to socialize and to accept that one waiting entity. Bright clear... The marche funebre tone is universal. Staying I develope qualities; so a dog shows up and clearly says, moving lips, articularing sound: hi, got bone? AH! |
