perverts

Alright, Sarah. I know you write poems, let's see some of your work.

here's one of mine

Conflict

Does the world cry, do its tears glimmer?
A flame alit, only getting dimmer?
I can’t seem to help this feeling inside,
Of sadness and depression, in my mind they reside.
Rage and fury, inner voices speak loudly.
Telling me things I cannot do…. I cannot do….

Passion and dreams wallowing in ebbing water,
At the coming of age, you’ll have to let go your daughter.
Freedom and love, rarely are they best kept.
Sometimes one without the other, is what some would accept.
Cries and frustration, speaking in my head.
Telling me things, I cannot do…. I cannot do…

Reality checks, that hit like a hammer,
Entwined destiny, unraveling to discover.
Tests of the heart, of the mind, for your lover.
Easy it’s not, feels like I was shot.
Give in? Never! No, I think not.
Conformity and… rules… you know what I say?
F*CK YOU! I CAN DO ANYTHING!... The world is mine…

-Seraph Haku

if you don't wanna post yours, tell me what you think of mine

I don't think it's up to par and am open for improvement... any suggestions, Sarah?

Did you write that? It's amazing. Seems like something Holden Caulfield would write.

ok so... here it goes

The dream that I wake up in
fills me with darkness
and within the mirrors
I get to see my madness
Descript like a tree
that rots in the water,
with the already dry branches
and the wetted leaves.
I see the flowers again
broken in my hands
and the smells come to me
bitter, acid and rotted.
The understanding without desire
arrives along with the dawn
and with it comes the sleeplessness
of another restless night.
Sun light that shines
and burns my eyelashes,
now illuminates the chair
covered with spiderwebs.
And I can't get the strength
to begin a new day,
so the inertia consumes me
and what hasn't come yet.
To go back to dream I hope,
in spite of the darkness,
because the dream is my madness,
but is also my consolation.

Nah, That's the beautiful poem

poems like those are the ones that make me 2nd guess myself alot

here's another one my ''muse'' had inspired me to write, I just had an overwhelming feeling to write something... anything lol I can't even begin to explain it... but anyway alot of my poetry are ''free-written'' on-the-spot impulse poems, you'll see...

"tormented.. or is it a confused mind?"

Your eyes torment me like the gaze of medusa,
Something you can’t deny, your words they seduce. (ahh?)
A sin of pleasure, visions of temptation.
The want of the soul, the need for resuscitation.
Separated at life, split up once again,
Like twins at birth, let the cycle begin.
Flying thru time, eyes closed, mind wide open,
Following a blind faith, that leads to… listen to chopin?
The journey proven to test your sanity,
your vanity, your explanatory ambiguity.
Let it be seen or written or... gahh

I'm jittery,
you and me somethin...throughout all eternity.
Dood, can’t write right now, I can’t finish this sh*t,
All I get in my mind, like a radar, is a blip.
Help me end this torment... this painful suffering,
Appearance thru the clouds... your hair...glistening.
I’m lost ...help me... It’s just too damn true…
Until it was written...written by you.

almost all my poems are in the poetry thread of the OTC section of these forums, but you'ld have to dig

lester...you've posted some wonderful poems in the forum ~ very very talented...and eucebo that was a beautiful poem! I write a little...haven't in a while...i miss it!

ok i'll participate (i posted this in the poetry section a long time ago)

the bud light label

last night i was sitting on my back porch drinking a bud light, peeling off the label of a somewhat lukewarm bottle and suddenly had a revelation. the label peeled so easily as though it was not really attached to the bottle at all. it just molded to the shape of the bottle.

my strange mind could not help but compare myself to the bud light label...i sat there for like 15 minutes staring at the bottle. yeah, i could not help but think to myself that i was a little bit crazy but let me try to explain. i think sometimes that people do not have a clue as to where their life is headed. we all just mold and adapt to the situation that we are put in in life. we are like the bud light label...not attached to anything and can easily be stripped away of what is comfortable on our lives. i realize there is so much more i could do with my life and I do not need to sit around and just adapt in this environment...i need to make a difference.

Great idea, LesterG. Here's one you might like, Sarah!

Ode to a Helper

Breathtaking black-clad beauty,
her hair is shining gold.
She mixes mad martinis,
At least that's what I'm told.

She is to the discerning eye
as lovely as a flower.
Her flat was filmed in secret by
the lovely Nikki Bower.

I'd love to meet with both of them
and have a bit of fun.
Perhaps they can be reached through
the religion, Hymn of One?
