Fish lay barren in a tank of cracked glass
Fishermen are dead around the circumference
A neon light pulses, barely alive
The light is blue and green and the scene obscene
What happened here? Nothing happened, it seems to merely be a figment of someone's imagination. Is it yours?
No, surely something happened here. An earthquake, sending men sailing and fish off the hook.
But really, how odd it all looks. The dead bodies all look like they're waiting to come back alive in this flickering blue light.
Just then, a fish slaps its tail against the bottom of its grave
A hopeless act of oceanic despair, or the final fight of the brave?
Needless to say the ocean is nowhere near to save
This place is underground somewhere and I take it we're not getting out either
But I don't remember how we got here
Which is why I asked...

Weakness,
giving over to others,
what should I think, what should I do,
threats, fear, isolation,
a solace in the metaphor.

The great creator languidly motioned his pieces onto the battlefield. Eyes glistening maddened rubies. Little playdo soldiers with little playdo dreams. Each soldier there in fulfillment's name to play at glory's game. Then thunder; lightning from the sky. Torn playdo paints the forest in brilliant hues. O' the grand warlord's laughing now, lapping up folly; the droplets settled upon his tongue as the pieces run; to and fro ducking and weaving. Heaving frightened chests like newborn babes. Exposed within valley's of fire and flame. He rolls a grenade onto the map. That's jack there who used to have a hat. A leg, exposed limbs hanging from rubber trees. What grand carnival is this, what beauty in this mayhem. The forest is alight now, spreading it's tendrils in delight. Flexing fingers over all, contempt and disregard for each man's plight. Swift, a million arrows- plunged darkness oversky and now the day is nigh. Petals, thrown up, echoes, soft laughter, moonshine, sweet relief, the ground breathes again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Riptides pull him back
Voiceless, he shouts
Drowned. Lost at sea
Mezmerine bubbles fade and pop
All that holds him to the shore. The
Sand that slips in his fingers
Pressure crushed ribcage
Dilapidation, erosion
Tears falling to the ocean
Motionless
A still frame (agony)
Captured again and again
Lapsed over the "sane" (Q.E.D)
Or a frozen image
Flung into empty space
Oh for the palest of mirages (sunlight)
Oh for freedom for the human race
Suddenly he forgets the carnage (no more fight)
He's left without a trace
Returned as flotsam
To the natural home (without a bone)
More than many know (it's all a show)
Time flies friends
And here he must bid you
Adieau... Adieau... Adieau...

Some ramblings here that never got finished:

Wait and see what's to come
Take the pill and down that rabbit hole run
Then tumble, let the experience remake you humble

And fall all the way back with an ocular sparkle
And mysterious tones to your idling hum

Fortitude is a blessing in a locker room with your mind provocatively undressing
Without a care in the world or a word in a mouth

To ourselves we sit facing the corner in a cornerless room, freely confessing


One thing at a time just as you hear the cuckoo clock chime
Hitting the sides all the way down, try to ignore Alice's mocking frown
She doesn't like intruders, but we're the new wave of mystical deluders
Set on course for infinite seas of mystery in which we wade far out and drown

---

Slowly getting there
Despite my ass being glued to a chair
At least I no longer live in my underwear
Less and less I seem to care
And more and more I seem to dare

Evolution seems like madness
Saying the dream was an accident
Such thinking brings only sadness
Surely such a thing is not what was meant

A dream you say?
I thought it was just another day
Maybe we can just agree that it's not real
Who really cares from where comes our next meal

Then again, maybe this inner quaking is a kind of security
Running from day to day in the race to fulfill our self-ordained needs
It's kind of fun, right?
Personally I just can't wait until night
The dreams that beseech me seem to remind me all's alright
Really, what am I worried about?
I got used to it
Thinking it's all going to shit
Going down the drain
With the dying cells of my macular-degenerate brain

Hey guys. I'm trippin balls and just wrote this. Felt like I wanted to share it. It might be slightly incoherent but I felt like putting it out there.

Burn baby, burn
the cigarette
those things
they're persistent

they interweave themselves in our culture
why?
because they're a symbol

you're smoking a cigarette because you're waiting
always waiting
for events, for time...sometimes just to wait
as humans we have nothing better to do then occupy our time and try to distract ourselves

or dig deep with sharpened talons into the fabric of existence and realize every grain of it
before we pass on

until then we just smoke cigarettes
to pass the time
while we wait.

Need to stop
I keep following strange voices
Wandering down dusty hallways
Coming to these... rooms
Full of...
Couches...
Televisions...
Videos stacked in the corner...
People there, talking languages
I don't really understand
About things like...
The weather...
The news...
A football game...
A favourite song...
Whatever.
The subject matter
Is less the point
Words?
Are we supposed to interact?
How?
Show me
                              I forgot
Would you have me move this way?
Or is that too stiff?
Forget it...
The television's on
A comedian
It's OK
Just about
Anyway
All I really meant to say
Is
My neck is stiff
Would you pass the remote control?

Circastes I like the line about the idle hum. I remember reading something about a universal pitch that the universe resonates at. Made me think of that. That first poem really resonated with me. :sun:

And thanks for your feedback on mine.

Grapefruit, solid commentary on the nature of Watching TV. Atleast that's what I got out of it. When you really examine the act it seems sort of rediculous.

awake, awing, sun spent sun-day, lazy and dazed, a palace to think
chop, wedge, hammer and sledge, wobbly knees and the grind-stone clink

i thought of you once, stick a fork in i'm done, thought of you twice, mind's dripping with ice, third time's the charm, because it's done enough harm, clipped toes video-taped take the fakes for a flight

leave mine mind behind, blade bare to shave, hair braid encased, wildwood's no good, stump stubble face to save, rub your hand on your chin and once again to begin, sprouting white rhizomorphs spouting spores on the wind

father form and forgo, in time yet to live, forget leaf left to leave, forgive begot left to grieve, heavy heart fist and white-knuckled holes like a ship, spun around to dip
and left hung to drip, no noose news to rope my head around, fall down and puke, crying crawl on the ground, eyes and ears shut out to the buzzing killsaw sound, with a handful of thorns, cows milked from the sickness, ill breed to decieve, poison letters veins freeze, blank memories twist knots shots and needles,  diseased, and all are born dead for miles yet around.

" We must hold a bomb in our hands, a dagger in our teeth and an infinite scorn in our hearts" - Benito mussolini

knock me down
i'll just come back runnin'
knock you down
it won't be long now

hey, this thread is pretty cool. here's something I wrote a while back... it's about opiates, I guess.

untitled notepad poem


the only thing keeping me on my feet is a sheet of ice
of sweat
on my back
and a mirror beneath my pillow that meets the sun
in the morning
searing my head awake
and throwing my body towards the day
spitting blood
at the calendar
and a spare tooth
at the clock

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT I LOVE YOU.

Time has come.
Wilderness and hiking, a cabin in the woods.
Free thought, to a certain extent,
outside the reigns of society.

I feel a release and an acceptence of self.
It's coming, and it's on it's way,
a different environment and a place to stay.

Nature is violent but yet offers it's ways,
to overcome grief, and the sadness of ones days.

Pennies all over the counter, abe lincoln and some fucking building.
Will always draw me back, to where money is the ultimate whore.

Enjoying my time as I go through, the good and the rotten all that i knew.
I hope, and it's my fuel.  To see a life not built on so many rules.
I'm not a peasant, left to to a cruel fate, that the longer I wait the longer I hate.

The larger picture.  Have learned compassion and acceptence to an extent.  Feel no need to destroy or create desent.
:rabble: RABBLE.

Posted this in the pub, and i'll post it here too if i damn well please.:grin:


Life is like walking a tightrope
and as you're staring down at it
you think "Is this even possible?"
Of course it is. It must be.
You've seen other people do it.
If they can do it you can do it, right?
Let's do this slowly now. Baby steps.

Ready?

Ok. Go.

Easy now.

Get the feel of it.

Steady.

That's it... that's it... you got it.

Keep going.  You got it...

That's perfect! You've got it!! You've got it!!

Just keep going, no looking back now!

You're doing it! You're really doing it!

You're doing so good!


I'm so proud of you.

Mandala

Running gondolas
The paradoxical melt's
Under snow's fall
Watching twin towers
In piles of dust
Crumbling fate's
To bowyers of lust
Two lovers seeing
World's spinning
Violently
Out of axis
Out of pocket
Out of breath...
Collapsed below
Red sun
Pulling dandelions from
Brilliant dalliance
In bilious
Drunken winds
And heaving Tokyo's
Thick pedestrian
Paths

In such a territory
A wolf only whispers:
~"Keep going!
Look for the moon!
Still night!
And jackal's call!"

PAY PAR KING

I feed metres
Better believe im a believer
parking inspector
Chedda debt trend setter
better rep change - bam!
another bullion for the man!

Muzzled pups sold ya wrong
Bolder crush, soldier on
Fold ya soul to chron
on & off of often long lost slow songs
so wrong - shore to him

tickets written in biro, i know
pay parking
wine o no why no why me!?
I'd eyed off a guy in a wide brim smile
like a sly crim while - i got rip shot!
stuff ya pay parking
im the paper king - riposte!

what was that, you lost?
Go stranger, lane changer
indicate that it'll sink
the lynch mob sickles finks
blink blink, blink - hazardous
having us clout, flout & fussed
ravenous to have enough
the sniper and the blunderbuss

While I decipher my rights get left
by the wind shield wiper - cleft text
boom yes! anchor me down
rank me as a bargain
rock bottom bartering
the op shop harlequin
starving ain't fast
harpoons to the heart
row boats and open casts
sharks go to coastal class

But im inland
Quit smitten sinister grins - plans
to get in a division of, hmmm just suppose
not so juxtapose to those
kite stream cannery's
psittisisms insanity - hmmm, bam!
Another bullion for the man

Backward chants for elders hensards
damn it man! A jack hammer in the bath tub

Why are crimped magazines and that which
come with plastic wrappers tardy taxis?
with an immaculate nak to shoot ya
at the back, cars to suit ya
or go for the brochure, flip through for bars to boot ya
or an eracnets karmasutta
most'll only go for no less than ten can of the brands of cola ya used to
Refute the bolder
Assume the lacuna rune prose that rose pose
A goal to the guys
You know the bros - wont step off
poltergeists epitomize this erudite till it's repose
A slovenly bathos boss sin charade
a race to gain the reign
A taste of whats aloft to scoff the lot & drop affray

No fair for a pedestrian
plantigrade rogainists
floating seismic linguist
omen bogen logistics

A women who can take varieties with comprehension,
no judgement, just flow,
an amazing ability to me
disrepected by conditioning of me
I regret it, and another woman who stood up to me,
I'm not my father and I'm sorry to reflect that.
But I take my own responsibilty.

somethings come from the inside out
demons are cluttering around
hard to live in this hold of no motion
speaking from the heart i can say
no heart is made of stone
all we ever are is emotion
when i can get rid of my demons
i might lose track of my angels
so before the light can reach me
there has to be darkness first

Child of the Sun
You were born of
The Aurora borealis
Your tender kiss
Is my hearts palace

And we'll sway to and fro
We'll sway to and fro
I know you can hear me
See me, I know you can feel you now
Dance around
A promise overthrown
Our promise overthrown

The fire in your eyes
Is no disguise from
The sands of time
Oh take my love
And fill your chalice

And we'll sway to and fro
We'll sway to and fro
I know I can hear you
See you, I know you can feel me now
Dance around
Your chalice overflows
Your chalice overflows

Soul of the song
It's yet too long
Oh make my time soon
If death is cruel
Life is cruelest
To anticipate and know.
