Sanctuary

tremors

This potato tastes like my childhood
When cheese was bitter
Beards and smoke were everywhere
And dusty books
In the bookshop cafe
With my mum
When people were kind
And life was simple

tremors

Cool kid sits by a busker
Mouthing the words
To with or without you
Not malice but solidarity

tremors

Breathe in respite
As fleeting as that snowflake on your tongue
All those years ago
And still your ghost stalks my room
We're barely living you and I
One of us is only ever clinging on
I can't drag around your spectre this time
I have my own life now
Standing, sitting, alone I'm strong
Yet reaching out towards your fragile fingers
I touch the frost and I recoil
My hands slip from your grasp
And I'm wondering whether this yearning to reach you
Will ever cease
I'm no good for you
You're no good for me
Yet we are bound in this life
I wish to set you free
I wish you all the luck in the world
Yet I know you have not one other friend
You count on me to be there
And since that day I always have been
But can't you see I'm giving nothing
Yet still know how to take
I need to get my room back
You've haunted me for so long
That now I'm haunting you.

Your poetry is so "intense"!!! I absolutely love it!

Thanks for sharing it with all of us...

Work
Gristle
Loosening rusted bones
Rusted brain
Tiding me over
Through Life
Until one day
My rest will come

brain is rusted
brain is busted
none of my thoughts
are to be trusted

my rest will come too
i've only now learned
too soon i'm afraid
too soon to be burned

peace my brother

Give yourself matter
Sustain yourself
Please
Do it for my sake
Make a plan
Dig yourself out
We're not children any more

Dig deeper than before
You know what to do
And how to do it
Something is eating you
Turn it
Flash from the spark
and run
Run from your life
Run for your life
Away from the dark

This darkness is affecting us all
Together we face it
Together
Plug in and draw strength
I've learned better
Than to follow you down
I won't go there with you again
But you know I'm still
Standing right here

I make them using a cool site I know. It must remain my secret however, or else I will not be able to hold my head high round these parts, cos all my secrets will be exposed. I have shown one other member in the Forum which site I use, but he is sworn to secrecy. If you want me to make you one however, then tell me what you have in mind and I will give it a go!!

That's a tough one, you've had so many good ones. Can you give me a few to choose from?

tremors

Well the site, has different 'effects' - like images dissolving or rotating or flicking between images, and you put your own images in. So give me an image and I will work some magic on it!

Is harder to combine PJ with a face. I thought you liked your 'feminine' icons! I'll do you a PJ one. Hold on a while

Okay!

Wow Tremors, Didn't know you had skills other than being a "peddler of EV erotic material" hahaha
very good writing.
intense, beautiful, striking - oh wait, sorry I'm on the wrong thread. Gotta find my way back to the EV thread haha
just kidding of course
I love your stuff, poems and writing. it's all really good and moving. your choice of words sticks out, really opens my eyes
these 3 are my favourites

Consult the golden compass before noon
Seek inner peace, it's always within reach
The tighter the trap; the more you find inside
Create space, make a gap
Release control
And step into the world
Without agenda, without plan
Observe what will unfold
Today, tomorrow
Look, what comes flooding in

Rolling hills, rolling breeze
Fresh cool basin
Valley nestling and turning me over
Wind turning over me
Sink into valleys
Town, dwarfed by the view
Gaining perspective
Trying to find the littler you.

the one above reminds me of when i went to scotland on a family holiday, we stayed in cabin in the middle of nowhere, really nice holiday. really good poem.

Radio talk
Shreds this body like cheesewire
So many souls
So much frequency
Splinters my senses
When what I need
What I need
Is One

Love this one too


cant wait to read more
