untitled thoughts of the moment

feel the air
full of stale thoughts
and monitors
losing the feelings
that once were dear
feeling the nothing feeling here
falsified, stagnant, phoney smiles
flash before my face
taunting me
haunting me
flaunting there tempting emptiness
devoid of anything
offering only false promise
shushing me
pushing me
flushing their wasteland through my veins
Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

  • I'm a big fan of slant rhyme and non-line-ending rhyme... ergo, I'm a big fan of this.

    The monitors line at first gave me a much more surreal image than I think you intended. Ever see 12 Monkeys? There's this big ball of monitors hovering around with the faces of scientists on it talking to Bruce Willis. That's what I thought of.

    Though, for some reason, I think you're talking about cubeville. :)

    For some reason I've never seen 12 Monkeys, meant to, but never did (I really don't like Bruce Willis either!) Is it a good flick?

    I was talking about cubeville! :(

    Ah, cubeville. I know it well.

    If you like weird time travel movies and slight surprise endings with sometimes bizarre camera work and editing... go see it. I like it. Alot.

    I hope I don't mutate into a cube head one day!

    I prefer my redheads to have normal-shaped heads. Call me a traditionalist.

    Just have to make sure our 50%s line up properly, and we've got it made.

    I'm starting to feel a little top heavy. :D

    I'm thinking my hardcore is moving up to 69%. :D

  • sorry to bust the mood up here......but your post brought this out......



    hold me down
    against my will
    arms bound
    feet strapped
    to the freezing gurney
    tourniquet entices my vein
    to say hello
    it's a trick
    they push
    the needle in
    injecting me
    with corporate bullshit
    convulsing
    foaming at the mouth
    my identity
    my individuality
    is stripped from me
    i purge the poison
    from within my system
    you'll never own me

    i am not an addict
    i am not an addict
    i am not an addict
    i am not an addict
    i am myself
    i am myself
    i am myself
    i am myself

    The mood needed to be busted up. :) One of these days, the mods are gonna shut this forum down like they did w/ WYA. That would suck the eternal big one. I'm talking, huge.

    Anyhoot... I get from this poem that... you are an addict. Honestly. And enticing the vein to say "Hello". Word. Good schtuffs.
