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

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.

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

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


There's also an epic poem thing going on on my myspace page at the moment, entitled "Strip Ludo". Find that here: http://www.myspace.com/trouserpressed


Lastly, here's a visual poem I dun today:

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.

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.

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

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.

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
I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t.

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?Wink

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

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'

Arguing with my senses and deciding my actions I do regret.
Absent in the lake of control, swimming among my organs and soul.
Untill I die you cannot hold that feeling, that foriegn light I behold.
Such a distant cold.
No more than,
Cannot understand this curse on my heart who feeds my body my emotions.
 
Compulsions of dorment settings plague my uncontroled insanity.
Can it be I can not see in my own mind, right hand man to my own eyes.
Will he decieve me and corrupt history in hatred of rights.
 
Gallows from a time to old.
Shadows once reaped then sold.
My darker twin who is next to me in light.
My thoughts of torture and demonic feelings.
Contrast together and seperated for none better.
Normally minds operational, reaping what I sow.
 
Darker undertones forshadowing cracks in the united stone.
A diamond broken and perfect in replication of my clone.
Unity broken when chains of matter disband in sin.

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be

Hey, this one is by my bestfriend Tyler,
 
BASIC COLORS
 
As mysterious as the deep blue.
Like a quantum that I'd warp through.
Your eyes inspire discovery, that's why i wanna meet you.
 
As bright as the red sun.
Like the hot inferno season.
You shine light on the subject of life, without a rhyme or reason.
 
As luscious as the green trees.
Like the comfy feeling grass leaves.
You have to power to steal my heart, that's what I want, so please.
 
All I wanted was color,
To this dull gray, black, and white.
Who'd of thought it'd be a stranger,
That would brighten up my life.
