*NEW* POETS CORNER

[spiralxstatic]

The threat of adulthood looms
like that classic image
of a sword hanging ominously
from a rope above
your head
it drifts lazily and
mocks you even though there is no breeze
I know one day it will snap
I can feel it coming already
Its not quite there
but my head is filled with pins
of wise decisions that I hate myself for
and soon the sword will fall
except nobody will die.

Drinking Alone....its a song Capo on 1. Dsus2, Em, C. (thats more for my memory)

I used to need help with my prose,
So I put what they gave me up my nose,
But it sends you down a dark and lonely road,
And those friends won't help lighten the load.

In the end I lost my girl,
So lonely with nothing to whirl,
But they wouldn't put an end to their habit,
If I smell chance then I'm going to grab it.

So they left me drinking alone again
Drinking alone
Left me drinking alone, once again,
Drinking alone.

They aint got time for me anymore
Something in their patience has tore
I won't be damned for having foresight
and I won't throw my life away tonight

So they left me drinking alone again
Drinking alone
Left me drinking alone, once again,
But I still feel sorry for them.

I'd like to point out we have overtaken the original poets corner thread. I hope the fantastic theatrics and exo-happiness start to post more.

[theatrics]

Thanks Spiral, that was very sweet

The sun warms my skin
Though your selfishness chills it.
Why can’t you just be romantic?
Head over heels,
Cinderella’s prince charming.
I saw a glimpse of that today,
Before your usual temper tantrum.
Oh, but I love you dearly.
So I put up with the rages.
A raging Romeo that never sees clearly
Sounds like a Shakespearean tragedy to me.
Fairytales now have subsided.
But all of this really does not mean much
As I am irrevocably in love.

[theatrics]

“I will show you fear in a handful of dust”
I will show you light in the midst of darkness
I will show you love in your despair of death
I will show you warmth when the sun has gone.
I will show you nothing,
Because people are not the ally.
Betrayal is committed without condemnation...
Are we not all supposed to fall together?
Ignorance and playing God,
Our society became obnoxious.
Now we fall one by one.
Together we lie and cheat and sin.


I don't know if this is good or not, my assumption would always be to say it needs some work. I wrote it in about 10 minutes so excuse any errors or anything.

[Exo-Happiness]

Sorry I'm rubbish now.

[theatrics]

I feel like something is missing.
I blink and my time has gone,
It’s like we’re broken
And I fight tooth and nail
I struggle with you
Everyday.
This love is poison,
Your fangs thrust venom into me.
Is love built to last
Or does the flame go out
As quickly as it lit.
Human nature: to f*ck everything.
Lets not f*ck this up.
This excuse for love.
Or what I was told love was,
Like the fairytales and folklore.
We are sad pathetic excuses for animalistic
Lust.
We are dull.
The poison lingers still, but it is not passion anymore.
I am weak and feeble.
But I love you still.


I have not posted in a while, I don't know if any of us do at all right now. But here is my latest, sorry I haven't wrote for a while I've had tremendous writers block

Theatrics

[theatrics]

I feel stupid.
I text you again today.
I tried to find my razor.
But cowardly worries about scars stopped me.
I choke on the memories.
But I still write to you.
Like drivel.
Word vomit comes out of my mouth
If you don’t understand me who will?
I have known you all my life- why walk away now?
I beg and I kneel and plead but still you leave me.
Friend, you have left me surrounded by craggid rocks, surrounded by fire
I can’t breathe
Without you near.
Why does everyone leave me?

Don't even know if anyone will read it but needed.

[scruffybear]

well i forgot my original log in details its been 4 years since i last looked here, but ive now teamed up with an old friend whos a musician and were about to attempt an album using some of the poems i wrote years ago on these boards.

So , my first attempt at impressing this board in a while then, lol

KARMA CATCHES UP WITH YOU

When karma catches up with you I want a ringside seat
I will be the sparkle in the eyes of every stranger you meet
Staring deep into your soul without a hint of fear
I’ll be the echo in the silence of every sound you hear

One of lifes great conversations
Only you were talking to yourself
You slept with all the money men
Never shared their wealth

You think youre flying like the lark ascending
Whilst your life is heading south
Yet the words to symphonies written in your head
Are northern without soul and Wilde like gutter mouth

Your best friend doesn’t love you
Its imitation of the heart, played by remote control
It’s a sad day for the love songs in the gallery
But its famed for rock and roll

A lonely house upon a hill
No boss and a crumbling mansion
Where everyone will leave you derelict
A carnival parade of regrets always out of fashion

BLOSSOM BURN FADE AND DIE

Rise with me like the seeds on a misty morning
First sign of hope in the garden of life
Like spring you enchant me
Coveriing up the cold winds behind me
Where do we go from here?

Seasons change for all to see
Seasons change and so do we

Burning like the summer sky
As the children play around us
Let the love burn our fire
Let all the flames engulf us
In bloom but dieing slowly
Where do we go from here?

Seasons change for all to see
Seasons change and so do we

Leaves falling from the trees
As we fall out of our dream
Fading like the autumn light
Silohuettes in the bonfire scream
Yet we used to burn just like this night
Where do we go from here?

Seasons change for all to see
Seasons change and so do we

Blanket of snow upon the ground
Hearts are frozen like the lake
It goes dark too soon these winter days
And soon my love it will be too late
As the flowers sleep for another year
Where do we go from here?

Seasons change for all to see
Seasons change and so do we

We blossom burn fade and die
We blossom burn fade and die
