    In unison collapse, clinging to these
    random visions of what never
    was

    Liars in wait, serpent solitude
    Severed synapses

    Insipid and dumb
    I swallow glowing sparks from
    the sun

    Fragmentation

    Shhhhhh
    Finger to my own lips
    Silence to the touch
    with a soft smile
    she quiets the thoughts
    Neverending
    Whirlpool memory
    Maelstrom flow
    Leads her to a place
    in Depth
    Shimmering bottoms
    Inlaid with Jewels
    Emerald waters
    and Ruby tides
    Lye awhile
    in the eye of the storm
    along side Poseiden
    Rest assured of his
    Intent to stir up the Gail.

    do you remember yor first name??

    dont waste your anger..

    You have a taste of bitterness on your lips
    —But where did you travel..
    what have you seen??

    All day long in the hard reverie of stone and malencholy?
    An eagle-repping your memories
    Stripped your longing to the bone
    And the pupils of your eyes received the message of chemerra
    Spotting memory with pain...
    Where is the familiar sun of short September
    on the red earth where you played, looking down
    at your faked smile...

    what have you seen?
    do you remeber your first name??

    But where did you wander
    what have you seen
    All night long in the hard reverie of misery and sea?
    I told you to count in the nakkid water its salty days
    nn your back to rejoice in the returning of all things
    Or again to wander on yellow plains
    with a clover of light on you breast, heroine.

    You have a taste of bitterness on your lips
    And a dress red as blood
    deep in the gold of a summer you have never lived
    and the perfume of chysanthems
    —But where did you wander


    There was cold salty seaweed there
    But deeper a human feeling that is now forgotrten
    and you opened your arms in despair naming it
    Climbing lightly to the darkness of the depths
    where your own starfish shone.

    Listen.
    Speech is the product of the aged
    And time is a passionate creator of men
    And the sun stands over it, a beast of hope
    And you, closer to it, embrace a love
    With a salty taste of bitterness on your lips.

    It is not for you, blue and sharp, to think of another summer,
    for the rivers to change their way
    and take you back to their mother
    For you to kiss other olive lips
    or ride on the western wind.

    Propped on the rocks, without future nor a past,
    facing the dangers of the rocks with a hurricane hairstyle
    you will say farewell to the present that is yours.

    Dark Prince again you came to me last night
    You swept me off of my feet
    My head light and face drained of color
    Tell tell signs of a dark lover
    You drink my life giving essence
    To you I give it freely
    Will it to be and on my back I lie awaiting your peircing kiss
    Bliss is where you send me through the depths of your love

    "You've got a tear in your eye and I'd love to match it"

    I hear symphonies of laughter and Gypsy violin when we embrace
    Upon my face a smile sharp growing with each encounter
    From you I've fed from your Artesian well that runs so deep
    Crimson tears you weep fill my veins with your sorrow

    "When you smile you make my world resolve...then you take over"

    "The future hastens an age beyond my antic reason"

    Embers burn brightly in my heart from your gaze that penetrates my soul
    I disolve my pain in your arms tightly holding my shivering frailties
    Now your life flowing through me resurrects the lover you once knew...long ago...reborn

    "Show me the way to solve your problems and I'll be there"
    "Welcome to the new world.....let me join your hand....take a walk through your world.....with a brand new plan....God only knows how much I love you."

    Expired sunrises lie beyond my sight locked secure in my memories
    Out of reach
    Sunsets on our old remorseful ways and calls us to rise feeding on the wicked ones
    'Evil-Doers'
    Companion through the ages
    Milleniums spent
    Unraveling this eternity
    One thread at a time
    Kisses in depths of passion from anothers last heart beat shared
    Never again to walk this life alone
    ~~dont mind yer make up, just make up yer mind~~

    ~~its better to be hated for who you are than be loved for who you are not~~

    this piece is so inexplicably familiar to me I was able to predict the flow...

    neil gaiman perhaps or inspired by the sandman series?

    and even a beach boys reference implied ...

    liking the work anOmis... good to have you here.

    midget..OWOWOWWWWWWWW.
    thank u loads
    *hugs u back*

    ancient tableture
    under waterfall
    inner peace
    my precious jewels
    sun god awaits to heat the rocks
    mountains become like wolves
    chanting their song
    thirsting for reconnection
    with someone who cares
    the book of life closed and went elsewhere
    the book of the dead re-opened for business
    headless children begun to walk the earth
    following the pied piper and his lovely
    sounding flute
    which led them down the hall
    to the door of the grim reaper
    which in-turn was no more
    the parameter changed without notice
    and the foxies of the nightime
    were listening and waiting
    for when the time was ripe
    to bring them to a promised land
    of their own vain imaginings
    eye for eye,one for all
    they laughed and scoffed
    at the true and old
    so did the coyotes
    who feasted for their souls
    pics,flicks, and tricks
    they surround us all
    myrs of firey desires
    crystal ship crystalized
    to end all human suffering
    to give life a new meaning
    behind the music
    the words
    the lives
    driving force of the world
    grant us one more day
    to analize this physical plane
    time of the mind
    it never was about the money
    time to revert of what it really stood for
    he could be watching
    from behind the mirrored sunglasses
    within the shining star above your house
    or the mountains surrounded
    by the snakes and wolves
    where they stick together
    through thick and thin
    away from the populated ant farms
    when the killer awoke before dawn
    he gave tribute to our sacred mother
    if were gonna fuck,let it be so
    on the rocks,let it go
    my life is a gift and a curse
    filled with true pain
    not known to the true amatuer
    i knew i was on top of the world
    when i blended with the finest
    ingredients of the earths surface
    kicked out of heaven
    for offering the god's some dope
    sort of a peace offering
    for eternal life
    so they cast me down to hell
    i guess they did not like my
    jim "n" i humor
    how did we miss this one?
    partys 24/7 here
    if you like hangin
    with a bunch of psychos
    who think they still have bodies
    if there is a god
    i rest my case
    with one final answer
    why did god make people
    who turn out to be assholes
    are they some kind of secret society
    with an all time motto
    "you have an asshole so be an asshole"
    i cant ajust to this description
    we have the power
    so succumb to our will
    hate to be the one to tell you
    but the rewards are greater
    when you die
    why not build an empire
    from the rubble
    you enlightened ones
    have not logged in
    expose yourself now!
    like the paintings
    on the four walls in the gallery
    living by grace is the true
    essence of living
    vain the dream
    to spirit only
    is the spirit life revealed
    by myself the soul of nature
    from myself
    is still concealed
    from the outside world
    blue flames within me
    from it's ashes
    pale and dead
    and i draw the world within me
    and i send my soul without
    with the lightning sword
    i prevail the earth
    drawn into the mystical circle
    near and narrow
    waste and wide
    severed by my selfhood
    from the world life
    of the whole
    there's a method to my madness
    measured by my gladness
    to the last cliffs of space
    i shout
    sing out sing out
    love may repose
    but never rest
    who keeps true time
    shall time outlast
    and it's music
    shall never know
    raptured highs
    and responsive smiles
    young at heart
    veil they fly
    strange days
    and weapons of grace
    errors from the soul
    would pass
    and leave
    the senses pure and strong
    rosy fingers
    radiant hair
    glowing cheek
    and glistering wings
    resume and rectify
    thy rude design
    (inpired by the doors)

    Lots of appeals to the senses...looking, listening, tasting....
    Lots of appeals to memory in the apprehension of the immediate.
    I like the precariousness between natural description and symbolism.
    I like the interiority of this piece, constructing the vastness of light, form and colour as a landscape of introspection.
    I'll read this some more.

    And I too had a hurricane hairstyle when I woke up this morning. :)

    as prey I wait as the day turns grey
    wings folded, in this human disguise
    put your ear to the earth
    listen
    do you hear the rumbling?
    the battle is near
    the special forces have convened
    within the castle walls
    arming themselves,
    all in Lotus form
    the Bright Army of the Apocolypse.
    I roam the corridors
    stepping over sleeping cherubs
    looking for a battle partner...
    I spy her in the crystal chamber,
    gazing into herself
    dreaming the world into reality.
    With a hand on her shoulder
    I answer the greeting that awoke me from my sleep...
    "boo back...."
    With a jolt she is awake again
    and for an instant time stands still
    as the rips in time are resealed.

    Alright I'm not gonna bother trying to catch up I missed too much

    get rid of the word somewhat in the first stanza, even if it's true, it doesn't help the poem

    I feel like you might really have liked walk n' roll, but it's kind of cheap and I think it hurts this particular poem

    Also I think the word "slave" is a little loaded, and I'm not sure if something else might sound better there

    But that's me, as I'm reading this thread there is a volume of excellent work here, I'll try to stay on the ball from now on
    keep pouring it out, it will keep getting better

    my love woke me up in the middle of the night
    and came to me with the first shades of light

    inside my mind the game lives
    and fills my eyes with pain
    in unspoken words, deep in my heart
    where the sadness lie stagnant like rain

    inside my mind the game lives

    loved this one, beautiful writing.

    Slaveshakened, dreams streaming
    through the fingertips much
    like the sensation of fear
    on a cold silent sunday

    p.s..neone read me..anyone?

    I am reading you now, and really enjoying your stuff
    this one I very much like how it's written, it flows quite nicely

    I think you're repetition of certain verses is very effective and Ireally like your writing style - particularly these verses I left
