Peaks

Peaks (part 1)


Deep on down, suppressed within these valley's peaks
I peer on out, seeking out something I know I need
Looking out for something to give me touch
Something perhaps to let me feel
Signals, they're not drawing near
Only hopes and dreams, combined within my fears

Look so high
Look so high

Am I just another serpent's feast
Set a skewer, fabrication of another meal
I know what lies before
Hurting, not just my flesh at stake

Frantic, I seek a path
To know that what I see is not all for real
There's got to be a shining light
Something here
Something to inspirit despite

What happens next if only shattered dreams
If deep within my dread does come to light
This is not what I yearn to see
Deep inside, buried within, I know it might succeed
Turning tears into ash
To consume my soul, and dominate my thoughts

Feel so low
Feel so low

Setting out, thoughts become serene
Days will show the truth I seek
I pray I'm ready to make this breach
To scale the walls, seek out answer that I need
What path now lies before
To lead me to the dreams I see
Or to the dread I can no longer conceal

Peaks (part 2)


well I
I chase these dreads tonight
and I
I hope for better in places not yet shown
dreaming of something more
other locations I don't yet know

well she bore a smile
memories I hope not to endure
and tears reach my eyes
for ones I have never known
standing at the wall
flowers spread once upon the ground
candles shining from their hands
lost in the past
with a future that can't let go

they take their time
in this lost place
forgotten by those all around
fragments still stand
reminding of what's is still real
and can never be left behind

we walk away
her hand clench within the grasp of mine
to see the lost souls
to watch as they piss away there lives

inside I'm standing still
they have seen what progress achieves
and don't care for it again
inside I'm still convulsing
of a city that's learned what is meant to be real
it won't be them
it won't be them this time

Seriously run out of compliments to send your way. Sometimes I think you might quite possibly be Ed and then I thank you for just being you! Simply amazing my friend. Thanks for sharing!

WOW!

Wow...thanks...not sure I deserve that, but thanks.

Inner tension explodes
Outletting this life
Passions to feel
Sanctums inside
Convincing me that what I’ve held so close...
My dear ways are not the only way to believe
Not so holy
Not the only real

Take my life, so fleeting
Seeing much, in the ways of this new light
Pales and shades now blend together
Just sharp edges blocking wrong and right
Never had a light that shown
Never thought that things would be so crystalline

I pray that I don’t surcome to know
Accessing half of what has past right there before me...
Will surely kill me
Knowing again what I held too close
Begging to find some freedom
Searching high and low is too draining
I can’t see that
Can’t live again from the beginning

Ignorance is bliss if you don’t believe in feeling
Blindness surcomes when gripping onto instincts
Find release to catch the prize
To know what lies outside
To crumble away rigid boundaries

Lighting the way to nowhere found
Finding something nowhere
Finding something not to hold onto
To appreciate
Admire

I can see
I can see
Thanks for light
Thanks for life
I can see
So that is
So that is

great works of art

pacifier

I particularly like that last one

depopulationINC

thanks...greatly appreciated...all of you.

depopulationINC

...yeah...this one has nothing to do with Iraq or Afghanistan....I could see how it could easily be interpreted as such though...




You see there might be a problem here
I can hear the rattling,
A little shaking in you voice
I can see surroundings,
Insecurities that keep them all
History's toppling fears,
Terror that keeps them bound

Have we come to an understanding
Maybe a little something,
Jotted in the sand
Just because we don't care,
That doesn't mean that
we all don't understand

Is this something to bring us worry,
In a place nobody understands
Should we gather in a hurry
To give freewill to a distant land

nice poem , sounds a bit teary

nicely, nicely done. i especially enjoyed peaks part 2 and old-new. introspection seems to be one of the best paths to profound statements

depopulationINC

Some run and some stay
to wonder the street
to pray once again
some sit and they ponder
where is this going
why is it coming again

to seek out an engagement
something to bring in the meals
but the more that you consider
the more that it's seen
this freedom is nothing
when it's never been real

surrender your body
it's the way that it goes
you never have owned it
from your head to your toes
so take on that armament
and wield that sword
it's time to earn something
like the time gone before

to garnish your something
was through whitewashed dreams
we'll cover these hillsides
blanket with red
though it's about all the green

so stop in this moment
to take it all in
it's only a instant
before it begins

and kiss all children
for whom you don't yield
to remember these twinkles
last thoughts of your soul
now enter this battle
the only one that will feed

and hold tight that passion
as the sirens begin
there must be an end
for tyrants to breed
there's something to see
so little to say
so hold on to something
embrace in those angel wings today

depopulationINC

I can see,
inside the ring
I never saw
was never there.
Deep inside
I still feel...
these tears did not just up and...
appear

plastic worlds,
with unkempt words
hold us back
bring upon
oh these inner...
fears

show these walls,
for all those ones that fell,
that never even held a trigger.
Five long years,
the stench still lingers.
Do not make this for nothing...
lest we forget
make us remember...
make us remember

plastic worlds,
with unkempt words
hold us back
bring upon
all these dreadful...
years

this is not no domicile,
to rest your bones,
to bare your soul.
Not what's meant
to support upon one another.
With falling hands
deteriorate
I can see what that really...
means

So leave this body,
to be set free.
Engage the spirit
we will try to remember...
so as no on follows.
So catch your soul,
to their dismay...
astound the demons.
So hold on tight,
to be set free.
No more hate
No revengeful...
feelings

plastic worlds,
with unkempt words
hold us back
bring upon
oh these inner...
fears

depopulationINC

I've been taking things in stride
every which way I go
Every minute more
seems a little less I know
I've been taking things in stride
everywhere that I roam
every time I move along
maybe I'm not alone
I've been taking things in stride
seems that maybe I'm wrong
seems my fears don't belong
everywhere I stroll
seems that maybe I'm waking up
maybe just a little inside

depopulationINC

I see these feet
that seem to keep a pace in front of me
not knowing where I'm heading
but seems that's the place I ought to be

I don't know what or where it is I seek
think I'll miss if it's staring right back at me
I don't know why I have this inner need
seems it's become consuming
gotta find that little something
maybe help put my mind for once at ease

I search the skies above
and the ground I've come to love
I search on passers
and maybe a little bit inside of me

as I walk I stop and get to thinking
maybe nothing is the way it seems
as I walk I stop and get to thinking
maybe it's lies buried deep inside of me
as I walk I stop and get to thinking
get to thinking

I search the skies above
and the ground I've come to love
I search on passers
and maybe a little bit inside of me

I turn a corner
see that badlands staring back at me
I keep on strolling
deep inside I've never really been this free
I climb the mountain
watch the valley living below my feet
I take a break
know that my inner fears were never really real

as I walk I stop and get to thinking
get to thinking
get to thinking

straight from the back of my New Years Eve bar napkin

Hope:

I can't help,
can't fight this feeling.
Sets right in...
without rhyme...
without reason...

I need;
some more of this in me.
I need;
something to make this stay.
I need;
to make this Hope feel that it's found some room for breathing.

I can...
see oh so clearly,
in the shining Hope of this city.
Her lights shine so very brightly,
but not like home,
the ones that blind me.
I can...
feel it near me,
Her brimming streets into the evening,
but not like home,
the ones that confine me.

I can't;
fall for those same old tricks.
I can't;
not after an experience,
oh just quite like this.
I can't,
no I can't...
throw all of this away.
I can't,
no I can't...
seems there's no goddamn...
no not one single reason.

I need;
some more of this in me.
I need;
something to make this stay.
I need;
to make this Hope feel that it's found some room for breathing.

I can not bring myself
to ride that ol' beaten path

I need;
some more of this deep within me.
I need;
something to make it stay.
I need;
to make this Hope feel that it's found it's place.
Oh my I...
Oh my I...
Hope has found a comfort place.

nice poetry

depopulationINC

I've got my head in the clouds
and my feet on the ground
I'm looking for answers
know they'll never...be found
When shall I see
When shall I see
When shall I see
what it is
what we need
I kept on walking
I was walking around
talking to people
man am I lost
maybe I'm...found
When shall I see
When shall I see
When shall I see
what it is
what we need
Well I climbed this peak
and when I got there
when I got there I found
well is stale up hear
with heavy breathing
and molding...air

your writing is really awesome

i hope you are doing well

depopulationINC

You think that it's wrong
well sit back in that chair
remember your words
recollect the nouns the verbs

I knew what I was doing
think that I thought
know I was proving that
your left might be left but
that doesn't make things right alright
you might be new
I've been here before
the arrows point directions
likely somewhere we've all been before
with white and the grays
and lines set up
conform
behave

So the lines might preserve
keep things the same
but it's change that will save our worlds
defend all the homes
all you precious little toys
but recognize that we're wreckin it
hollow headway
triumphs and trials
well we all know we're atop of it
the ground and the skies
all that he can never hold
perfection comes in its own little ways
you just can't change nothin
greedy little fingers can never hold
that you can never own

Thanks mate

depopulationINC

every way we look
no room to move
no freedom to twitch
won't make it clear

well we made our move
n yeah we might loose
but that's okay
at least we choose

passing in blink
the almighty wink
the one that kills
that makes you think
it's all alright
so we loose another time

depopulationINC

Foots that step
to come surrounding
many march
to sing of a rising
chanting closer
to bring a falling

a centered voice
to plead of faulting
pulls wrongs from rights
in a righteous calling
black on red
in gray shroud shadows
unified to bring a falling

rings of terror
oh how they fell
no way, can't help succumbing
I tremble
that chant leaves me breathless
I'm falling

a centered voice
to plead for vaulting
pulls wings from man
the hand of extinction
