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 |

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? |

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 |

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.

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.
By: Tyler W.
