Escalante
Mazes through sagebrush lead no where Expert eyes signal towards a shy, nameless, clearing Ivory moonlight guides our eyes through a featureless gap Red walls surround us, lifeless rainbows reveal themselves The midday sun could not penetrate this stone Basking moonlight awakens the spires Dancing for me as I lay

Oh shit... the thread name says POETRY... my bad... Well here's an impromptu poem about POTTERY...
The earth beneath my fingers bends, Malleable and unformed. In the fire it hardens, Colors run like water to give Vibrance... Meaning... The stamp I leave on the bottom Becomes a permanence, The mark I made, So that someone later will know Of my brief residency upon this earth, And my mastery of its elements. For the shortest of glimpses, I walked this earth, One with the greens and the blues, And someday so shall I return, So that some other hands may dig My molecules from the mud And give them permanence as well. This is the legacy.
EDIT: By the way, the above pictured ceramic piece is NOT one of my own. Just used it as a segway for my ramblings, and I happen to really dig the way it looks.

-------------------- Careful, though your mind may be over matter, matter is all we really know. "Or is it?" The problem with intelligence is that it fosters arrogance, and arrogance suffocates intelligence. True intelligence however, bites holes in the bag.

This was written by my best friend who passed away a little over two years ago now from an accidental drug overdose. He suffered a back injury while serving in the Navy and was taking a lot of meds prescribed to him by the VA. Still get depressed every weekend about his passing. Especially this time of year with Oktoberfest coming up.
I'll post some of my own poems later.

Birthday Deathbed
Scott... Shreds,
off on a new journey, you will truly bee missed, friend,
think about tomorrow, pretend,
I am, I run, thru the world, eats you up inside, offend,
again,
&
again
&
again,
abuse, who's, noose, can you see, blend,
in, a child, bring you back to life, burn, defend,
fight life, can you know, do you comprehend???
core energy... Free from your hand, send,
holy water, well, lend,
can you go... sink into the holes in my eyes, tears have been,
have been dreaming, down you go, dripping through skin,
around full circle, click & begin,
again, search within,
songs sing wind,
symbols, tin,
crash, am I dreaming, asleep, needles & pins,
spring share shadow, web wins,
20:33 ' I ', yea, sorrow, tips,
take time, slippery slope, slick,
slip witch, broomstick twitch,
wounded hand drawing sand, switch,
blade, rage, I like to steel, bitch,
half the man I used to bee, wishes have all been wished,
yea, still got far to go, levy wall swished,
swimming, out with the fish,
damn wall wood fall if not for all the sound stitches,
finger twitches,
into tomorrow, & I feel it-itches,
dry hives filling with life, to find it, nectar switches,
into an ageless form, quickest,
hey everybody... I'll just lie hear for awhile, alright now what... Jam this...
loud, wrong man wrong man wrong, think too much, raised fist!!!
get away, while I'm thinking, I'm a rollin', wheel's don't trip,
know where to run, no where to hide, farmer marauder, shit,
I want to bee as big as a mountain, chair lift,
swift, brisk, sit,
enjoy the view... Sing that song inside, fly as high as the sun, where the river goes flow's into the unknown, spit,
that's it... Gone, as quick, as, the breeze is swift,
this' all I can say... You Will Bee Missed!!!

I just wrote this in like 5 minutes on a late nightshift state of mind. So obviously it's cheesy and not very good, but wanted to share anyway

DividedQuantum said: On Creativity
Where do I begin? There have been so many men Who sought Calliope, only to find A crashing, silent din
Beneath all structure Mending all rupture Is the light of the muses Suffusing dark's puncture
All rhythm, all thought Everything one is taught Arises deep from the bed Of the absence of naught
A fire, as it were Light that doesn't blur A clarity perfect For existence to stir
The foundation, you see Is not matter, or me But an infinite spirit Brings forth the verb, to be
We abstract from the motion And build up a fine notion Breaking up Nature's scaffold Into a thinking man's potion
Yet undivided and flowing Is Nature in her knowing There is only the one Though the many are showing
 Especially this "Beneath all structure Mending all rupture Is the light of the muses Suffusing dark's puncture"

Soularize said: Very nice work 
Shit, well I really didn't know about this thread at all before I just posted my poem in its own thread.
Here's the poem anyhow. It's about lost and wasted friendships and their residual memories.
Lonleliness is a kiss that you give to yourself when The bliss of the world's escaped you The sound of fake chimes when you know it's just rain bouncing off chairs on the deck that you sit by Soft bullets of comforting pain
I think about all of the friendships I've ruined over the years How the memories remain - so crystal clear - that they cut through other thoughts like a razor through cloth Or a stubborn cold wind through loose dying leaves of some strange living tree The memories that you once used to warm things with Now they burn things Some sear so supreme Some sing and some sting Pieces I've lost that buckle and break Falling off into that same unreachable place Where all those other pieces have gone
I wonder how many pieces that is that I've lost now and how many one man could stand to lose Before the chips turn to cracks and the cracks turn to fault-lines Snaking their way through a heart of refuse To be broken is one thing But what about shattered? I imagine all of those pieces laid out before me Shards big and small I admire them all And find myself tempted to hold them
Some pieces are too jagged to handle Too vast to repair Some reflect and refract Some just sit there I can see further pieces but surely would fall If I reached for them all I gather up those with the least-damning edges And carry them off with half-bloodied hands To a place where they'll shine Or just rest and refine Such a beast, a lost piece is God damn.
A lost piece is better than a piece never had.

I like it! What is good don't be so negative on yourself
As I find myself reading through strangers thoughts I am left perturbed by the minds positional haunts Where relativity and self belief lay dormant A dangerous game of a self depreciating informant
Now I know these are just the musings of an incognito brethren But still I pause at the potential ramifications A miss step whilst treading the fine line Between just poetry and your beautiful minds

Thanks, I sort of get a bit loose with the associations and general sense in my attempt to generate images, but that one worked out. Here's another -

It does make sense to me but your mileage may vary haha.

This is more of a song in the making I think. Will be adding more verses possibly.
