    Not genius, just perverted but nobody's supposed to know about that! :D

    Dam!

    no thoughts of mine ma'am!
    all from your 7-8lb sexy head
    my brain doesn't go to 11
    at least no one has ever tried.

    11! LOL!

    --all our amps go to 11, you know, cause it's one louder than 10---

    Push away
    All that mattered then
    Leave behind
    The lives of lost
    Force fed
    A river of regret
    Ride on
    A runaway crazy train
    No concern
    For that which you created
    Dearly deserted
    With welcome mat courtesy
    No love
    Sponge mop the blood letting
    Trust nobody
    With a hand behind their back
    Broken angels
    Can still learn how to fly
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    Take a walk upon that green, grassy hill
    To the beautiful stone walls
    That house the wishing well
    Standing at the edge
    Hearing that echoing, hollow sound
    Pull out that shiny penny
    Hold it up to catch a glimmer of sunlight
    Pinch it between your thumb and middle finger
    Close your eyes and breathe deep
    Exhale slowly and whisper a wish
    Then
    SNAP
    PING
    PING
    PLUNK
    Open your eyes, smiling and hopeful
    That the well will grant a promise for the future
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    She remembered
    Oh yes
    It all came flooding back
    She tried to close the door
    Put a chair under the handle
    Shoved the burough in front of it
    But it came smashing open
    Sending her across the room
    Pinning her against the wall
    Choking her with thoughts
    Stabbing her with vivid images
    She wanted to bash her head against the wall
    But it would do no good
    So she stood with her arms open
    Ready to embrace her tormentor

    ...wears a smile.
    He doesn't realize that she lives inside a frown.

    Here's to wondering why the fuck I ever just... Idunno... somehow forgot to read your thread! *cling*

    You give me a boner at work. That's delightfully uncomfortable.

    Ever-hardening of hearts
    Chipping at souls
    Radiation blare
    Yellow bleeds Orange bleeds Red
    What are these voices in my head?
    Sallow Shallow Hollow
    Burrow a hole in my brains
    Grey matter's in tatters
    Wants to jump right out of it's cage
    But there are only windows
    That taunt and tease
    Impermeable, mocking, revealing the tempest
    And there is no door in sight

    Thoughts just keep feeling half finished but, sometimes, someone finishes them for me yet that's not how I'd finish them and it doesn't really feel finished so, I let them collect in this half finished space, in a half finished place, in all their half assed, half finished, glory in a half full box, half full of half finished and half full of nothing.

    Took a look around
    Seeing what life had become
    Staring blankly as she folded the laundry
    And it occurred to her
    She needed to sit down
    Felt way beyond her years
    Took a look around
    Seeing what life had become
    Staring blankly at the wall
    And it occurred to her
    She needed to hear a song
    Felt she wanted release
    Took a look around
    Seeing what life had become
    Staring blankly at the stereo
    And it occurred to her
    She needed to get out
    Felt like being free
    Took a look around
    Seeing what life could become
    Staring happily out into the future
    Never once glancing back

    I know of something that's very full ;)

    Weld your half empties into other half empties and a whole new world will rise.

    Like taking your half-eaten Big Mac and smash it into a half-finished poem and you get two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onioins on a seseme seed sonnet.

    Restore my faith

    I'll rip myself right open wide
    Come on in
    Jump inside
    Something was decaying
    Then I wanted to open to you
    Insides are outsides
    Sideways, sidewinding
    Do I have a hope in finding?
    As I feel this binding
    It's blinding, brilliance I beseech
    Jump inside
    Come on in
    I'll rip myself right open wide
    Restore my faith

    Yes, if there were ever any lists
    Ever to be made
    To ever bear my name
    As if I'd ever be so lucky
    As to ever entertain such an idea
    I don't think I'd ever disappoint
    I am forever second best
    Who????(no one)??????
    That's right!




    Found a couple of old poems last night so, thought I'd dump this one in here today.

    Befuddled, muddled
    In the corner it huddled
    Waiting to be cuddled
    Afraid to be seen
    Fears it's unclean
    And cruel and mean
    So it just sits
    And wallows in it's shit
    The vacuous pit
    It sloshes about
    In it's silence it's devout
    But it's just I T C H I N G to get out!

    Seems she was tired
    Spinning her web all day
    Only to have it demolished
    By some unseeing brute
    I expressed my sympathy
    She laughed and said
    "It's all in a day's work,
    we all have to work for what we want.
    If someone tries to destroy it, we must not give up,
    we must just start again."

    A wise spider is she.


    this is SO you....

    :D
