Poetry anyone?
    #19098761 - 11/07/13 01:59 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Over the years I've been through a lot, (veteran) and pretty much the only thing that has gotten me through a suicide attempt and years of depression and anxiety is just sitting down with a poetry book (mainly Bukowski) and just reading. Something about it just brings my spirits up. I written some poetry also.. and if anyone gives a crap I'll post it here for you guys. For now I'll share one of my favorite poems and maybe you guys can do the same!

I hope this doesn't come off completely ignored, Sure it's a dark poem, but it just confirms to me that it's bad all over, and maybe I'm not the only one in this mean and horrible place suffering.

Alone With Everybody- Charles Bukowski

The flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and the men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there's no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

I hear your Bukowski and raise you one "Dinosauria".

Born like this
Into this
As the chalk faces smile
As Mrs. Death laughs
As the elevators break
As political landscapes dissolve
As the supermarket bag boy holds a college degree
As the oily fish spit out their oily prey
As the sun is masked
We are
Born like this
Into this
Into these carefully mad wars
Into the sight of broken factory windows of emptiness
Into bars where people no longer speak to each other
Into fist fights that end as shootings and knifings
Born into this
Into hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to die
Into lawyers who charge so much it's cheaper to plead guilty
Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed
Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes
Born into this
Walking and living through this
Dying because of this
Muted because of this
Castrated
Debauched
Disinherited
Because of this
Fooled by this
Used by this
Pissed on by this
Made crazy and sick by this
Made violent
Made inhuman
By this
The heart is blackened
The fingers reach for the throat
The gun
The knife
The bomb
The fingers reach toward an unresponsive god
The fingers reach for the bottle
The pill
The powder
We are born into this sorrowful deadliness
We are born into a government 60 years in debt
That soon will be unable to even pay the interest on that debt
And the banks will burn
Money will be useless
There will be open and unpunished murder in the streets
It will be guns and roving mobs
Land will be useless
Food will become a diminishing return
Nuclear power will be taken over by the many
Explosions will continually shake the earth
Radiated robot men will stalk each other
The rich and the chosen will watch from space platforms
Dante's Inferno will be made to look like a children's playground
The sun will not be seen and it will always be night
Trees will die
All vegetation will die
Radiated men will eat the flesh of radiated men
The sea will be poisoned
The lakes and rivers will vanish
Rain will be the new gold
The rotting bodies of men and animals will stink in the dark wind
The last few survivors will be overtaken by new and hideous diseases
And the space platforms will be destroyed by attrition
The petering out of supplies
The natural effect of general decay
And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard
Born out of that.
The sun still hidden there
Awaiting the next chapter.

That's a beautiful poem!

Also I like Bluebird.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

Re: Poetry anyone? [Re: rawrrock]
    #19098783 - 11/07/13 02:10 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I wrote this one back in 2010 I think?

To a world that I give a blind eye to when I am so meticulous to see all that is. Romance is for the future. My days of past have been spent lonely and occupied with tangent
dreams of what could have been. I am once again on course, moving past forward.

There is no point in looking backwards if reflecting is what
keeps me down. Why does it feel so strange that I sometimes forget who I am and  whom I desire? I know where I am going and there is no denying the past. The problem is in the details and their relevancies that carry too much weight for only one to burden alone.

There is no grasp on me that anyone can claim they have. When I am visceral everything becomes surreal. Strange, yet that is who I am at my best. Only when I slow down and try to think and rationalize does my luck fade away.  With what reasoning of malice does she do this to me?

I used to care about everything, now I only care about what is important to me. The symbiosis between me and my surroundings I cannot explain except with the help of the stars. It is a mood that is unparalleled. Nobody can really understand, with the exception of one.

That is to the rule, of course. There is no unrealistic virtue or thoughts of sorrow. There is also no ignorance or tolerance for the absurd. My mood never changes. There is no reason to be like everyone else, I could not anyway. I am uncommonly predominate, often without ever saying a word. I accept my uniqueness and profound effect I have on others. I do not try on purpose.

To the gravity of all things I revolve around and to all things that revolve around me, I must remember where the center lies in order to create a balance that is key to understanding. There will be many days that will soon be nights and the stars will be demanding attention, looking downward wishing that I would look up again...if only for just a moment one more time until the next.

I keep all my poems short and sweet.
I usually post them with some corresponding picture, but I'll keep it just text here.


Spiders spin a spool to splay,
With spindles spurred to spite the day.

A fly at rest on webs that sway,
Consumed in bliss; conscious decay.


--------------------
Aaa...E I O Uuu...A E I O Uuu..A E I O uh Uuu..
*Cough* *Cough*
Ooo...U E I O Aaa...U E I Aaa..A E I O Uuuuu...

At first sight, The Perfection of Wisdom is bewildering, full of paradox and apparent irrationality.

I haven't seen anything so hearteningly misanthropic from you lately either. Where's the gore? :confused:

Give it time, padawan.
Soon, the hate will flow through me like diarrhea after a night of binge drinking and taco bell.

I wrote this on halloween

Forget about history, live in the mystery; Where futures are shaped
Forget about misery, these things do not matter. This life stands to flatter
Our minds and our wishes on whatever platter. Our minds will stay scattered but
Its beautiful this way. Or that way or which way. Pay attention to your day,
take notice of thoughts! Oh my awareness of thoughts! I'm thinking about thinking about thinking about thoughts!

Reflections are many, infinite I suppose.


--------------------
zen by age ten times six hundred lifetimes
Light up the darkness.
