Poetry/Lyrics

anyone else write? share your stuff. no rules, except dont rip on other people's personal expression. i'll start:


my grandpa once told me, "spooning always leads to forking"

i'm a little unnerved by this. when we lay close, i can't help but clasp your wrists.
is it scary?
(to have and to hold and be held and not know what will happen when you let go.)
"let go! let go!"
i can't,
i wont let you drift off through these blankets to the foot of the bed,
to the back of my head
i've been trying to keep you in and myself out of mind.
those bruises show me im doing just fine.
shes got pretty black eyes to match this soul of mine.
such a perfect couple,
violently entwined.
and the irony of this situation lies next to us in bed,
does that make this a threesome?

a pair of queens and a jack kicker


last night i saw a generation commit suicide

it was the longest path the world had ever pulled straight before my eyes. the chain fence cast shadows under my feet like toothy demented smiles.

how embarassing.

my water bottle actually had water in it, and i swayed a little just from the awkwardness of it all. a girl ran her hand down the chain before me and they began to laugh at my sobriety.

none of my kind usually do this to themselves, tell themselves its ok, they aren't bleeding, no one is breathing incoherently. i do. its pathetic.

its ironic when they fall in front of a classroom building, and i feel like i should be in the dark and silent windows scowling, instead of trying to relate to the girl who can't feel her face. i just told her to be "ok" in the morning.

all evening i counted something different than everyone else. the time. i guess they counted time too but only in terms of drinks and hours until class the next day. i counted the time until i could go home. making sure she made it in bed ok, hoping she remembers me in the morning.

who the **** am i kidding?


untitled

my hope (oh my god)

has carefully weighed the pros and cons of
(rapt in empty urgency)
a selfish request.

has gone for the week.

has fallen asleep at the controls of this machine and
we're left careening toward any and every apocolypse.
(like when your parents rest their eyes)

my hope has been sullied by the day to day to day

today i traversed the uncharted seas of followers
with no leader.
(except for the charismatic flashing lights of the street)
and i helped a woman to her feet
only to find her robbing me.
cash is a stonger leader than hope it seems.

sunday is a day for hope
we hope.

i hope
(sunday is a day of rest)
to rest until monday.


A sonnet for...

She buried her face in her hands on a park bench in the dark.
Her shoulders wrenched forward, wingjoint scars exposed.
She ground her angelwings into angeldust,
And traded her dignity for shame and some blow.

She had wept the first time she laid flat on her back.
"You can't come back without those you know..."
Her feet and hands have become more practiced with necessity,
Though her heart wishes to flutter above the mud and the snow.

"Beautiful," they tell her as they pay her,
And she puts on her clothes.
"Gorgeous," he says as he rubs her thigh,
And she does a line of coke.
"I'll miss you," He says as he shakes his head,
And let's her go.

A Dose of The Doorman's Placebo...



I


 Monday morning starts with a smirk. The spark  her eyes to start some fires. Wine bedside with the shotglass in the hall. This is the worry story. Her real self unmatched to her insides (something like a chimera). Tuesdays tuned in intangible. He's standing on the outside. Consierge suit and muffled air along with the music. Cigarette smoke and a sex scent her MO. Thirty dollars won't buy him off. Yesterday was a mystery, today was the official tragedy.


  Faces told him to keep it clear, keep it clean, keep it corgial. but his innate ambitions are too busy teasing thoughts of lipstick on the collar. Wrapped wound wake like romance. Her calling out he's a [LoVer] like no other.


II


  Wednesdays swept the note underneath. The secret kept safe behind the teeth. The words, the spill, expense to risk it. Its shrewed the taste of telling compared to the matchmaker elevator music. Dropped notation from the innards hoping to see hers in detail. Its frail when dealing in dirty thoughts and sexy super novas sprawled across the bedsheets. She never knew, but it emptied the pockets of tension other than in his suit. Its cute to him when she stared abscent to the obssessive habits unlike that of a consierge sitting on the fence watching the eyes set the room afire. The white of hers fit the substance on her face too fine for four letter words.


   Friends told him to keep it clear. For snakes never roam in packs. Keeping  it close, keeping it warm, corgial, or in context. And dealing lightly was a brushing of shoulders with death in a leisure suit. Thinker, thinker, right, dreamer, sceamer, sight, see her, dream her, blight, drink her, thinker, spite.


III


  Thursday hit something on the heavy end. With the edges as smooth as a waltz on hells ballroom floor. The knocking screamed of explosions ahead. Her eyes, her taste, tales told in her bed. To lack the suit, teeth marks on his neck. The scratch, the skill, the space inbetween. The look, the line, the secret to keep. Exit the scene when the door spews some truths in his matchmaker lipstick on the collar corgial daydream. Saw him there, in her stead. Saw her there, in the bed. Garments gone, fire eyes red. Sweat instead, sheets soaking wet. Twenty dollar bills and better dead. 


 Friends told him to keep it clean, keep it corgial. Keep it calm in the consierge suit and in context. Its the joke for sliding under. Mixing work with lipstick on the collar. Thinker, thinker, right, see her, dreamer, blight, think her, dream her, spite, Friday, ender, goodnight...

very good.  the only thing i don't like is "lipstick on the collar."  That line is too cliche.  Other than that, colour me impressed.

The triumph breaks through the cutlass sheer,
A tepid stoning from staving sides,
Side by side we wake the dawn.
A quick hunt before we die.

Dismal terrors stake the cove,
And side turned canvases throw it down.
Whisper carefully before stares dance,
And quickly before we tear the wind.

Grander stirs break down the visage
Of the stabbing kin.
With an ail of rips
Drastic by the glaive that took it,
And better with every return.
By the danger halve it

You cannot break the limit because
It’ll cut you down,
And if you try it,
The force will flake your crown.
If you want grasp it,
Then by all means go,
If you have decided,
Cast down your throat.

compliments to all for not writting crappy stuff.  I was suprised that nobody did the lame teenage poetry thing (ex. "You broke my heart/I miss you/Please save me/I need a tissue/I cry so much/I'm in pain/You left me/Now I'm going insane")  Props to you all.

LoL nice one man. I'll give that one a grand total of ten extra points I believe. And ya I'm totally enthralled at the fact no one busted out with the classic case of "taking the blade to their wrists" or "I'd thought we'd be together forever" tripe. I dont think I'd be able to hack such nonesense.

DESTITUTE PYRE


 


Signed beyond recognition


My streetlight, my home, flickers as my hope dies out


Embers are scarring my legs      (this false art of pretending I’m dead, this blanket on fire and my body beaten red)


A putrid odor engulfs the alleyway


I am hairless and scared           (this false art of pretending I’m dead, this blanket on fire and my body beaten red)


 


To stop and put it out                         


Will only fuel you more                  (this lake is on fire, where is the water?)


Let this course take action


                    


Cold in an instant becomes blistering heat


Flashover, Back draft, red trucks are too late                (no records, no teeth            


I'm an abandoned car                                                     my stench of flesh melted


There’s a whole in the tank and a spark underneath           is all that remains


Ruptured (ruptured)                                                         no one to ID me


Engulfed in a blaze                                                          wake me up when this is over)


 


                                            (Rescue me)


 


Abrupt awakening to the smell of flesh and blood


The sweet sound of children's laughter


Open arms to embrace


The smothering of each smile


As I wither and burn each with me


Before I retire for a long winters nap

These are some of my most recent ramblings. I really like the ideas behind these, but I definately need more development. I've been mostly writing fairy tales and fantasies of what my life will be like once I move out.

------

Playing with boys like knives,
It may be dangerous to sharpen their lives
For you--
Falling in love is falling apart
Remember it's impossible to think with your heart

Logic and discression are telling you wrong
You don't even realize that this is your song

With every rhymic sentence
And every rhyming line
Your face grows more pale
It's no longer sublime

So go on and argue that you were my best
That you made me my best
That each argument was a test
and I failed --
Oh no!
I failed all your lies
I failed the mistrust
I failed because I got hurt
Our affair was a bust

And again as I speak
Your knees are going weak
You're seeing I'm right
But there no point in a fight

------

In everything I do, there is grace.
In every light there is something to find.
Vocal curves and waves, reflections and refractions
I hear a lot, I see a lot...
I don't believe any of it though.
I find my own ways and have my own structures.

Shh, you'll fill my head with lies.
I can over think this, but I don't think I'm out of line.
Glint, glint, clink...
There are soft steps on the stairs and I won't move.

I'm the only one who hasn't given up and everyone else is confused
Let me tell you another secret and another truth.
So, visit this new spot with me and we'll make it grand.

If we get caught, I’ll just laugh
I always laugh.
This time, I won’t care what happens
Nor what is thought about me

It’s dark out and cold
But the windows are fogged and we’re not wearing any clothes
Innocently enough, I want to document this
I promise not to peek…

Good girl, good boy.
I’ve done nothing to regret.

------

your tactful moves, real smooth
have been practiced before
every word you speak
charm every frigid core

i looked in your eyes and thought
i should be yours, could be yours
and ever word seemed to be a chant
and ever breath pushed doubt away
--but i can't. i can't!

i've broken my promise to chance
girls in white dresses, your pressed black pants
i'll try something new, a minimalistic romance

Ya know, theres just something about female romance writings that give me a funny feeling inside...I think its called arousal...


" Edward Erudition Vs.  Baxter Beauty (The Skin & Bones Symphony)..."


 Murder, filler, plaster, killed her. Plastic eyes M.O. fit her. Dead weight lost it. Face, sliced it. Liar liar, your on fire. Picked your pistol, crypt attire. Gasp I see your marrow. Apologies cuz I can’t be your blanket (sadly I'm flesh not the fabric). Can’t keep you in safety. Fresh meat for the catwalk, only bones are on the plate. We’ve got some inquiries. Wanna twist the shape of some mysteries.


  On a string, believe me I’m only screaming cuz you hanging makes me sick. They’ll eat you alive, you’ll scream and kick. Travesty no pianos are playing you out the door. Feed the whore for she wants more. Caught a glimpse of your marrow. Spilling out with the concierto. Life of the party til she opens her mouth. Could I only count on fingers hitherto.


 I’ll save this for last since you can’t save yours. Pre-teen pregnancy, or false sense of ecstasy. Fresh meat for the catwalk, wearing piano wire. We’ve got some inquiries. Fresh meat for the catwalk, wearing piano wire. Careful not to trip in your crypt attire…

im not surprised no one posted lame poetry, we all listen to trophy scars. intelligent music for in intelligent kids.


...




echolalia. echolalia.

we may be the only ones here awake,
but i know we aren’t the only ones making a bad decision
let’s just fit in.
(don' you feel like disappearing, sweetie?)
a bullet through my chest aimed at a heart
that may or may not be behind my back
and a smile ripped across my face
by a girl with a grimace ripped across hers
i’ve been limping off to sleep
to a lonely cocoon in my sheets
I could really use a few moments of something different.
She’s got such echolalia. echolalia.
When I whispered “don’t forget me.”
“forget me.”
this is going quite well it seems.

Well I'm sort of in the process of forming one with my best friend. We both do vocals and he plays the piano. I've been in bands in the past, like when I lived in Arizona. Right now its kind of in the works though
