The Official Post Your Own Poetry Thread. * 8
    #12031863 - 02/15/10 01:40 AM (13 years, 11 months ago)

I have gotten a go from one of the moderators to start the official "post your own poetry thread " , so this should be a sticky.

I love reading poems by amateurs as it seems to be free from literary criticism.  I think all poems are good, and I love  reading them.

In this thread, let's please be polite and sensitive to people's work.  For some people , it takes a lot of courage to share their art.  So, please be respectful.

I am hoping this can be a good thread for aspiring/casual poets to share their work with fellow psychedelic mates.

I will kick things off with a poem I wrote about a girl I once knew:

"This is a Sad Story"

and she deteriorated slowly, never heard from again
this was a sad story because all she needed was a friend
the isolation grew into infinity, and forgotten were the days of sunny smiles
now, her brain has worn out, from running endless self-conscious miles

the knight in shining armor never arrived
she was forgotten, and somewhere else he thrived
so she sat with her cats, her squirrels, her pigeons… living in the zoo in her head
people had cold, horrifying eyes
animals and jazz were her only friends

she could’ve been someone special, someone for the ages
there could’ve been stories written for hundreds of pages
she could’ve touched lives, if someone had touched her
in the end, she died not of old age, but because no one truly loved her

her story was never told
no one ever knew her name
there wasn’t much to tell
it was really a tearless shame.
especially since,
there are so many silent souls that are the same.

but, there is importance to every life,
because we can always learn
the lesson here is…
take control of the wheel, press on the gas,
close your eyes, and make the turn.

The Soft Parade


"The soft parade has now begun;
Listen to the engines hum..."
If we have wasted silent dawns
We hope that day's not done

All we do, build for the grave
Listen to the latest knave
What a tragic history
We need another wave

People out to have some fun
Deliver up some other one
Essentially, that's the result
Yet we mustn't crawl, but run

So there's the proposition
We are far from in position
The clock is ticking, almost dead
Life isn't an audition

Defending this place -- getting tough
The world's a place that's kind of rough
If we could stop this waste of time
Perhaps we'd live enough

But as it is, we've built a mistake
And one just gets but just one take
The parade is holding, must restart
Or emptiness our fate

Would the computer let you know when it were you being used.
Or would it be in its best interest to sooth and bemuse.
The tipping point they say is when it gets smarter.
At which point could it be useful to show the enchanter.

The day it happens if it will or if it hasn't already.
Won't be a day we notice for we can't possibly be ready.
Maybe they need us not the other way around.
We think we built them but they placed the confound. 

Or not.

Master and Slave


To see the progress in our morals
Is nigh impossible
All about incessant quarrels
Decorum optional

Upon a time a man was master
And individual
Homogenizing going faster
No truth residual

The best and brightest now are slaves
Memetically unsound
The ones in power -- all are knaves
And decadence abounds

Wisdom dissolving, falseness reigns
A sort of great forgetting
We think our moneys are our gains
Everything upsetting

Virtue locked into a box
And values upside-down
Truth is like a ghastly pox
And baseness has renown

Cruelty is not excused
Compassion not abhorrent
But Mother Nature's not amused
By man's peculiar torrent

The Annals of Mysticism


In trial and teaching, the fair Mystic’s head
Ascends to the Heavens, where he’s live and dead
To tabulate tallies, the Gods he implore
The psychotic gallantry deplores to abhor

In goodness and grace, the perennial truth
Comes unto this agent, the cosmical sleuth
Heroic to heal, and bless and advise
The milieu of the Mystic, the world of the wise!

In the quiet morning, There was much despair
But consciousness had cleared a way, to breathe the peaceful air;
A bounded trove -- a cotton glove -- a peace set out by Jove;
For heaven needs not darkness; nor joy a comfort robe,

Eaters can be eating -- all across the globe;
Pain and joy are fleeting, Consciousness remains
Just like a new-sprung forest springs up after rains.

In the hours of sadness, Consciousness laid bare,
It breathes a sight of glad relief, just to breathe the air.

And in our thought's factories, one rule has been in-set:
When one is kind to those who Need: one day shall return yet.

Fleeting


The tragedy of life, it seems
Is that it's mostly boring
At its peaks it surely gleams
But mostly, we're abhorring

Ordinariness is king
And tedium its queen
Magic fleeting, feel the sting
Reality is mean

Fulminating Light

It's you wise men that keep inspiring me, but then
It's a heart giving out, then it's a mobile home on a long stretch out of town
We always hit the ground with a tail of flame
When e'er we reach yonder, out of the subterranean gaze
I want to find the darkest hiding spot
In this multi-duplicitous matter
Smell the precipitated air
Shedding dragon's scales one-by-one

I felt the Earth cracking at my heels
Near pure religious ecstasy
A rived and littered destruction
Followed me

I felled your fields, shook cities,
Burned your forests, and sent whirlwinds
Inundated your nations with crime
And flooded your streets with death

I am confusion, and I believe we have met.

Here's one from a long time ago:


Leonardo


Without any peer, he was then indeed
The soul of intellect, his primary creed
Voluminous knowledge, a renaissance man
A glorious future, his primary plan


Nothingness only in time and in speech
Existence is prior, his message to teach
Oblivion can't be, a thought illusion
The universe practices conscious fusion


Holistic approach, the cosmos is one
The part an abstraction, all life is the sun
Divide, reunite, attain perfection
The many, yet one in his recollection


He lived a long life, which is to be expected
Because so well spent, when dead all were dejected
Time so slowed for him, as his powers so grew
That he commanded fate, and he just truly knew


Inventor, designer, a painter, a writer
A star burning bright couldn't burn any brighter
Imprint on the future, his unparalleled
Nowhere in the world one better beheld

Existence is gleamed perodically.
From a morning dreamed methodically.
Awoken to a self born of sleep.
A pool of awareness existentially deep. 

Fabrications of reality assumed between.
You and I and an agreement seen.
Perhaps there is a true objective difference.
Or maybe a crudely designed but needed deliverance. 

Surety in the tangible here an now.
As real as a nightmare created sweaty brow.
Without each other neither is known. 
Within the depths of your dreams a now is shown.

If I was ever unable to answer.
If I were no longer here.
I want you all to see.
I went without real fear.

I had a good spin.
I kept kicking it along.
Faster and faster controlled within.
Enjoying a slowly whistled song.

Meaning.... if we must.
Insatiable experience lust.
Entwined in interactions.
Fingered lines in dust.

As grand as it was.
It was more than imagination.
It was all about us because.
Lifes a shared inclination.

Messages from beyond may be.
For each individual too already know.
Your solace is inside you see.
Tend too yourself to grow.

Unknowableallness.

Everything is deeply connected.
So we simplify with distance.
Because you can take solace in the confines.
Of your spacetime resistance.

The intricacy of seperate objects.
Must be profoundly complex enough.
With a measurement or relativity.
Newtonian surety is your crux.

The assumptions of your hypothesis.
Which always lead from nought to one.
What a slap to your confidence.
If connections were all to be undone.

Imagine an admission.
Truth beyond our perceptual bounds.
That physics is but an imperfect rendition.
Of the original spinning ground.

Twas laughable that water here spun.
In an opposite direction.
Not yet provable forces were shared.
With an impercievable connection.

Perhaps all thing surely.
As resolute as they may well be.
Is but an understanding poorly.
In trusting what we think we see.

The randomness of nature.
Means this individuals sought.
A constant poetic conjecture.
Via the nonlocality of thought.

Something More


Between each breath I think of you
And write another line or two
Finding words is hardly a chore
Wishing we were something more

Between each toke I think of you
Wondering how we could be less than two
From trembling lips fire burns the ground
And something more must be found

Between each drink I think of you
The kind of pain you put me through
The empty glass breaks on the floor
So I must reach for something more

Between each cut I think of you
The stupid shit you put me through
A blood-wet blade slips to the floor
And I need the help of something more

Between each chamber I think of you
With your Goddamn games I'm finally through
This one man roulette ends on the floor
Not now, not ever, to be something more

Add Age


We've never lived for a day
The world spins on, indifferent
Funny, time slips away
And we don't know what life meant

The only rule at play
Seems to be change, impermanence
We surely don't have a say
Despite all our dear brilliance

One man sees birth
Love, beauty, possibility
Another man sees death
Oblivious tranquility

Yet another treads the road
That winds on the razor's edge
Somehow trudging with the load
Along that lonesome ledge

We have the old saying
'Time stops for no one'
We're but children playing
With nowhere to run

Perhaps best to be keeping
Death in our awareness
Some feel it is sleeping
Not awake, in fairness

A man walks into the forest and sees the trees
And there is nothing there but the earth
And the earth said I NEED HELP
The man responded I am to overwelmed by shrooms
And the earth mother responded feel my suffering
And the person did.

To those who are complicit.
To those who feel like the deserve more.
I've fucking had enough of it.
And I'm not going to be quite any more.

I'm talking about those who turn the wheels of the machine.
I'm talking about those who knowingly enforce the regime.
You know your faceless it allows you to be mean.
But don't think your greed is going unseen.

Who thinks they can live in ten fucking houses.
Who thinks they deserve such unjust powers.
Screwing societies with reinforced classes.
All so you can spit from your ivory towers.

Why can't we wake the fuck up.
Why don't we yell and refuse to shut up.
The world is sick its not about countries.
People starve whilst we go through obesity crises.

I'm sick of society's lauding of excess.
I'm aware that I'm responsible just like the rest.
We all must be aware of our vicious creations.
The choices we make have direct ramifications.

Prove to me that blue is blue.
Is anything real until we agree.
Even the things we know to be true.
Are only things we think we see.

Its all i construct as we need it to be.
Without you there could not be me.
The tree only falls when we need a chair.
Giving facts and absolutes one hell of a scare.

Perhaps quantum shows the irresponsible trust.
We have put in progression self important lust.
When all the absolute rules get thrown out in a rush.
Forcing those who had the answers scampering away, hush.

III. Lore

In this life so much changes spectacularly and so much is spectacularly dull!
We get changed by life's muck insomuch that we cannot escape it's dregs, as if we ourselves are mucked and dulled by it!
By our poison media and our scrapings of the stomach! - pains, and not for food but for lore!
Those deep seeding welts of mass media and commercial consummation with the flesh of our core, but of course! - when will we learn?

If not for them, we are the seeds that'd be sowed, afoul these fowl!
Spill your juice for the world!
For you are a bitter fruit, and the world is also bitter! - not with blood but with lore!

Your death is communion with the desires of the All-Seeing-Eye.

Keep yourself strong by letting yourself roam! - by having no faith at all!
No more conniptions to take hold of as they verily whisk you through the zephyrs of their slip-falls!
Slither and scald instead! - excoriate the face of life with your acidic scales, as you soil this fruit of your life of lore!
Bare it's distinction happily! - for the world is abreast with the might of the soul, especially in it's incarnadine mold!
