A Poem Thread

desert desolation
parches the spirit of man
the mind turns inward
to find the fractal beauty
of patterns

island woodlands
waterfalls and beaches
lets the mind celebrate
the world that abounds
with life

the spirit of man
is heard in their music
and measured in adversity.

which would you choose
the country
or the city?

You've pumped your lies into our minds
through visions beautiful and kind,
that seep through every pore of me
and cloud my eyes so I can't see
the truth of the evil that you do
and all the shit you put us through.
But your visions are wearing thin
and I can now see all your sins.
I can see that you are wrong,
and you've been corrupt for so long.
Now the time is coming near
when everyone will see it clear.
Your time on top has come to close.
You'll fall as fast as you once rose.
Goodbye USA.
 
back track - by zonabi

space exploration in this chaotic nation
will never last its expected duration-
unless we acknowledge the unknown.
we cannot pursue into further depths
until we finish cleaning all of our mess

we speak of advancement, we speak of evolution.
but we never speak of the evil dissolution.
it abounds the earth in many shapes and forms,
and stirs the seas with un-noticed storms.

set sail with me into the abyss of humanity
as we try to explain the world's mindless vanity.
sinful indulgence or unknown origins,
we search for the time where it all begins.

four corners pointing to the ends of the universe
i speak to thee when you hear my verse.

~A Siren Sings of its Own Song~



hate fear spite and vengance
from me as the worms from a corpes they shall grow
as the farmers plant life with sweat and with seed
all of these i shall sow

humanity my field that i work
words are my shovel and ho
i plant fear into your soul
and hate into your eyes
tending working dilligantly
with love i bring your demise

without even realising it
you succomb to me
lovingly and willingly
just as the lies i weave
my words a siren song
curopting you to believe

look upon your fellow men
tell me what do you see?
where before you knew of kindness
now only misanthropy

i tell you turn again to them
tell all nations of this song
spread the reach of these words
have them sing along
submit them all to my own will
have them say the same lie
all of mankind united
brought together to die
 
In my creative writting class the teacher decided to have us write about something very difficult and gave us a topic. This is probably the most disturbing poem I've ever written once you realize what it's about.


---------------
The Gardner
---------------

Sheets of glass cover our little world
We can see out, they can see in
Storms rage and fires burn
All we knows is warmth and light

The gardeners comes in from the cold
Their whites coats cleaned for the day
Their gloves go on, afraid to touch
Afraid of pricking their bare hands

The supervisor sits in a chair
At a desk away from it all
As long as we're here
That's all he cares

When we get older we leave this place
To belong to another, another's embrace
Nearly all gardeners are happy to see us go
Having survived this long, it's time to step outside the glass

A gardener comes in with soil on his coat
A white beard covers his face
Not content with the touch of his gloves
He removes them and his filth drops down

The touch of his bare hands upon our leaves
A feeling never experienced before, something so odd
The supervisor sits in his chair, behind a wall
Unaware of this gardeners methods

As we get older we flourish with beauty unmatched
The gardener gets anxious and takes some early
Lest some other take us when we mature
And leave him behind, alone in with his soil

By night they are taken, exposed to the world
By day they are here in our protected lair
The supervisor takes role and knows nothing's amis
But as they get older there is something wrong

Their leaves aren't as green as all others are
Their petals aren't red, more pinkish and drab
The water sits, too distracted to drink
Soon they will wilt, their horrible fate

Too soon they were taken, too soon they die
The gardener offers nothing to comfort
The loss felt by others, too busy he works
Looking to find another to take it's place.

We're too scared to speak
Too young to understand
He's too old to change
They're too blind to see
 
The first verse is terrible but I never came up with a way to restate it and generally don't rewrite my work once it's complete as it's a snapshot in time. I wouldn't want to change it any more than I'd want to photoshop an old picture. The rest of it is good.

--------------
The End
--------------

The pains of birth pushed me to the sky
My viens emptied and my skin fell deep
The rain that carved eternal tears down my sides
Mountains and valleys formed after years of uncertainty

Now waters flow from sources unseen.
Etching wrinkles over time
Birds flying overhead keeping me company
A halo of colors telling me everything is okay

Dark clouds drift by giving life freely
Millions of creatures take a sip
Only if man were rain would they ever
Get a glimpse of all I have to offer

I was here before man knew how to speak
I was here when they learned to write
I was here when they walked right by
I hold on as they try to destroy

For years they came and went
Taking for granted all I have to offer
Never stopping to smell the heliconias
Or observe the gilded swordtail

It cost nothing for me to come to be
It cost millions for man to destroy what I am
I offered them food but they desired their own
I offered them shelter but they desired their own

Never content with what can be had for free
Considering money the only thing of value
The clouds are lifting and my halo is gone
The bright sun shines over a cloudy condition

I hear a loud noise and pain shoots through me
A loud crash silences a thousand voices
Never heard by those that silenced them
A shout of victory over an ancient tree that resisted

A thousand fires came and went
A spark from the heavens to renew me
This fire will not cease, burning day and night
To destroy my trees that they may grow their own

As a son stives to overpower his father
Men build concrete fortresses to the sky
Thinking themselves mightier than who created
I shake and they build again in defience.

Water flows through every pore
Through mine water renews again and again
Through theirs, pure water goes in, poison comes out
They have defeated me, I cannot clean this mess

I grow sick but they're too blind to see
I am hungry but they're too busy to care
They have salted my soil with their wretched ways
They have ******** my blood with their greed

Now they are sick, the sky is not clean
The water they drink cannot be cleansed
The food they eat is contrary to nature
They are never filled and desire more

Soon I am naked but they still want more
I have nothing more to offer so they look to the stars
They see a red planet and seek to go there
That planet is dead, at one time more dead than even I

They have destroyed me and yet are under delussion
That they can build another which has never been as I was
I would have helped them long ago I would
But the resources that would carry them are no longer

Long ago man looked at wonder into heaven
At the stars thinking they one day would travel
They strived for years and hope nearly become reality
But now they can never and their hope is dispair

They die in a ceaspool of their greed
The destruction they caused to me will now be their own
As I rid myself of this human infection
One day I will be reborn. But one day, they will not.
 
my poem
The truth

In the eyes of an addicted man
I saw the truth about everyman
Cry cry
Tears wash your eyes
Die die
Whatsha living for
My my
Life was useless too
Say say
That's what he said
Pay pay
For everything you did
May may
It cleanse your soul
Play play
That’s all the children know
May may
Be that’s why they're happy so
Lay lay
All you’ve got
Weigh weigh
Everything's got a price
Clay clay
We're all just made of clay
So why why
Don’t you see animals discriminating
Slay slay
All you despise
Delay delay
You're destiny is coming
Day day
Wait and it'll come
Bleed bleed
It keeps you sain
Feed feed
On your brain
Don't Try try
To hide scars
They they
The only human left in you
I I
hope ive said the truth
bye bye
to an uncaring world
 
Its always better on the other side

There’s bodies for the taking,
Honey for the making
You wana be tom waits,
But your too young.
So throw me away,
Grab the green next door,
Close your eyes against the plastic.
Don’t squeeze too hard,
The dream might burst
And then where will you be,
Just one more lone some soul
 
Arise sweet heart,
from coffin far below.
Come back to me,
so then I will know.

That this is why;
that this was how.
So I will know
that this is now.

Come back to me
so I can see.
So I can breathe
and at last be free.

Arise from your sweet,
silent, eternal rest.
Come back, come back
into my chest.
 
A shadow of a doubt

they came
they saw
they bore dismay
of an innocence lost

they prayed
they swore
they turned away
cerebral holocaust

from the pits of hate they came
the neutered and the spayed
they marched towards their fate the same
betrayers and betrayed

welcome to this nightmare
with this bitter sleeping pill
of little men with little dreams
of little things that kill

a plague of darkness to the end
within to without
generation skitz my friend
the shadow of a doubt.

Save Me

Here I lay
as your senseless servant
accommodating your
every move.

The promiscuous
insight continues
and I laugh
uncontrollably.

Tears make my ocean.
I drift for endless days...
desolate; yearning for
injustice.

He thinks I am a fool.
I will kneel down
as words flow
out of the pure lips
he kisses her with.

The disposition changes
and as it continues to do so
I loose the morale.

Life will reciprocate over time
You will question and realize
that I am unconventional
and a dreamer

In the middle of the ocean
hoping and praying
someone will come
to save me.
 
Love's Fall

BY Sargentlard *insert crowd cheering noises*


Danced the dance of most sinful content

To wrapped pleasantly in mornings shawl

Righteous lust to mournful resent

Ecstasies extreme but never love's fall


Highest peak of Earth's design

To deepest chasms of man's heart

Great statues of equestrian splendor

To piquant portraits torn apart


Arcadian allure of humanity's kiss

To decadent, delicious Satan's bliss

Braved the tough, seen bravest of them all

Heard the sweetest of the sirens, never being their fall


These hands traversed the land with the companion of sight

But never loves fall, but never in loves spite

Never loves scorn, never its discord

Never its hate, never its resort

Never its comfort, always fear of sorts


In the wonders may come, in those that flee

Never love's hand, never with thee

Whats a mans worth, through pain I know

Whats a mans value, through heart I wait to see and know


All that eludes me, in loves domain

All the deludes me, through the eyes of pain

Her hand possibly waits, this being however stalls

Ecstasy driven quandaries

But never loves fall.
 
As it was, as it is, as it may


Twelve o'clock, fixated on the beautiful game.
Two stinging noises, back to back, the phone.
Hello
What are you doing?
Thinking about about causing you pain
Stop playing
I am serious

Twelve fifteen, I'm heading to cause pain
She told me she wants to see a movie.
But you see,
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
Sing it James....
You see man made the car
To take us over the road
This is a man's world

Head and hat tilted, I suck on the deadly poison
for it darkens my lungs and clouds my head
Tonight is not a night for thoughts.
Sing it James,
This is a man's world....

A slender, curvy figure drapped in a skirt the puritans would
behead for wearing...
A shirt, unbuttoned up to the middle of the chest.
Nipples almost in view...
And you claim to want to watch a movie?
I"ll play along...

This is a man's world...

Moving the waists enticingly, bending over to reveal the nothingness and the plumpness that bewitch me.
Cloud my head more, cloud my head more.
Slowly, deliberately, confidently, skillfully
A hand slides through the hair, another traverses the contours of a warming neck.
Kisses placed here and there, warm air breathed hear and there...
She wants it; she warms to the touch; she presses on me...

This is a man's world! This is my world! And in here, I own you.

Pleasure is pain
Concentrate and attempt to anticipate the pain
Feel the initial blow
Sleep through the bulk of the feeling
As I kiss and caress that soft, skillfully woven body.
Shhhhhhhhh
Be a good girl
The pleasure is in the pain
Listen and feel my tongue, warm to it and feel me
Shhhhhhh
Expect three quick hints of pain;
Accept them
Anticipate them
Feel the high and sleep with the low.
Pleasure is pain
Doesn't my caressing hand feel more sensual?
Warm to it, your senses are heightened.
My mind is clouded.
Shhhh
This pain is pleasure.

The cold wind blows on my face as I suck on the dark clouds
The movie was perfect, but I saw none of it.
She will heal and tommorow she will beg for the pain.
I will want the movie.
This is a man's world!!!!
Sing it James.
 
If i was you
i'd be happier than
I am not now

i could know why you said that
why you went home
and why you come across so ugly

i could slap myself in the face
perhaps smell some coffee
empathy would be sympathy

for you
 
"Grab your bulletproof vest nigga cause its gonna be a long one. Now me and Quik gonna show you niggas what it's like on this side the real side. Now, on this ride there's gonna be some real mutha-fuckas and there's gonna be some pussys.

im lost in a world with no plan tryin to live life flawless
things changing everyday times movin fast how long will i last
i laugh, things still seem the same, its base, underneath i see no changes
so much trouble in the world, cant nobody feel my pains it gives me strength
and at the same time pray it doesnt remain
everything comes to those who hustles while he waits,so im movin faster & my mind i left
how does it begin?
growin older colder and colder after all i been thru
its hard to see truth but easier to see a lie
became more cruel with no care its easier to be truer
was hyper as a kid, cold as a teenager on my mobile callin big shots on the scene major
lost my mind followin a heart of gold thats cold and well hidden, comin bak worse than i was b4 to the world i say fuck it peace out later
a sick-cess
no longer livin in fear my pistol close in hand
convinced this is my year like i'm the chosen man
drinkin liquor
no pain,
no smile lookin back to past memories thats hard to remember
its gone the hurt comin it lets me know im still livin
what doesnt kill me makes me stronger?
this life has got me catchin up to God quicker
who would figure that all I need was a hair trigger
semi-automatic Mack 11 just to scare niggaz
keepin no friends, not even aquaint ences
just a bunch of muthafuckas that all feel the same
we're all ghosts walkin thru the killin fields & my essence
still remains unchanged
im lost and not knowin, scar'd up but still flowin, energized and still goin'
rollin so in it is it fate that makes me break
on these jealous ass cowards cuz they evil and fake
it ain't right parasites snakes and fleas crawlin
suckers duck and get busted no emotion
my devotion is handlin my business keep on coastin
the futures in my eyes cause all I want is cash and thangs
a five-double-oh - benz flauntin flashy rings,
bitches pursue me like a dream
been know to disappear before your eyes just like a dope fiend
it seems my main thang was to be major paid
the game sharper than a motherfuckin razor blade
say money bring bitches, bitches bring lies
one nigga's gettin jealous, and motherfuckers died
aint nothing more than i despise than a coward and liar die
adversity makes for ambitious wishes to rise above the coming tides
what will it take? to get them off my case these bitches aggravate
my emotions is like my riches, and within the beast awaits
i've drowned suffocate and came back replaced
one side free and the other caged
i havent changed, only my perspective of the situations that takes place
actin according to what they made
gave em a beaten let me start again i have no friends
and every breath i breathe will be another moment ballin as g
they say i'm heartless, but thats regardless
eternally i live in sin until the moment that they let me breathe again
when will it end?
take a look inside the hearts of men.
 
Doubt

I'm teetering on a hair-thin string wishing you'd pull me down
This strange feeling has me feeling down
Where, where, where? how, how? when, when? why?
You must be there when I say so
You must allow me to be there when I choose to
I'm jumping on the rope, yet it holds
I'm biting on the rope, and it kills my teeth
I'm screaming but you enjoy my screams
A smile is all it takes, and yet dutifully, you frown
Pull me down into the abyss of your hate
For on this thin pedestal, my fear of heights is getting the better of me
What a strange and foreign thing, this emotion, this feeling, this...
It makes me doubt me
makes me fill my head with schemes of grandeur
wear the crown I spitted on when I was falling with you
Why must I doubt
why must I trust
I have lost myself and yet I'm still balanced on this rope
You are falling in the lions mouth and the warmth seems embracing
I can see my reflection on the whites of the mouth
and it's screaming that you pull us down
These focused eyes of the naive fool that was me
wishes you had the love that burns within me
This loving fool wishes you share the love you stole from me
These tired feet wish you had the hate to pull me down
Fucking images!
My head is filled with dancing swirls of misty clouds caused by the fumes
of your neverending capacity to elevate me when I'm up
I fear I'm stuck until your unmoving body drags me down to where I belong
Fucking images!
Why must I distrust them?

"Days of the Forlorn" Lyrics

Jester: I call forth the Rets from the darkness...
The Rets, aahh,
He was born, yes I was born,
Back in the days of the forlorn,Forlorn,
that means that they were all doomed,
Ha, ha, ha, what for?
It was part of the plague that was spreading across the lands,
The people never understood that it was at my command.
I am the Retsej bitch tester molestej,
I cross through the dimensions and go backwards into the inception of the new type of right,
Not the right or wrong that you understood previously,
all along,
Haaa, I was not taught the fucking things that you were taught as a child,
I grew up running wild, through the fuckin' caverns,
smoking upon the fuckin' dreamstate!
Now the fucking days have come, the planet turns,
And all the fuckin'cars are in the stars are in the fuckin' constellation Orion! Aaghh!

I saw the aliens, they formed the pattern in the sky...,
Aaahhh, I responded gladly,
Waving my hands,
Shouting for them to save me!,
But they could'nt come down.
They had an agreement with somebody else in my town,
And I saw that motherfucker with the flying saucer the other day.
Ooohhh, sometimes things get twisted,
the mind is gifted,
And yet you always stay possessed.
I walk within the lands of the Retsej,
Bitch tester molestej,
Yes I always stay the possessin',
Haaa, Possessin' all the human minds,
Molesting all the human minds,
Time after time, time after time,
Blaaghhh!
Nobody knows it as well as the Retsej,
The dreamstated mind forms inside of the fuckin' hallucination!
Now I was living in the fuckin'jungle!
Tryin' to communicate with the tribal people.
I thought that I could do some good upon their lands.
Haa! But next thing you know the fuckin' smallpox started breakin' out!
I could'nt understand why...,
They said the Gods were punishing them,
I knew that was a lie,
With my scientific background, Ha ha ha ha!,
So I fuckin' swallowed their ayuaschua!
I thought it would free the fuckin' people,
Cure all of their sicknesses and take away the evil...
 
He doesn't live like others do
He can stand for hours by the window
(in his dusty, tattered room with the table in the corner).
He can stand like this and watch.
He will not utter a word, not a syllable.
He can watch the wind dance
and blow the pink petals
and shake the green grass,
fighting to stand tall.
The sky is a sad shade of gray,
This means nothing to him.

He is a man who puts knowledge above all else
And you know, it's ok.

Sometimes people wonder about people.
Judge people who just live for themselves.
Like they are to blame?
Take this man.
He doesn't know of anything else,
He doesn't have anything else to live for.
Sometimes people blame people.
But when the torn curtains start to fade and crumble
(in his dusty, unused room with the table in the corner),
and the man continues to gaze past them into infinity,
do you think he is searching for blame?

He will wait, maybe forever?
The emptiness he feels surrounds him, engulfs him.
This pain is ongoing and endless.
This man, he knows...
Sometimes you don't have things to wait for.
And sometimes, things change,
The sun comes up again.
Even for this man, it gets better.

He is a man who puts knowledge above all else
And you know, especially now, it's ok.

It gets better.
 
blood spoiled angels
dance on my shoulders,
my life is your breath,
my blood spoiled angels.

our memories rest in the graveyards
and nobody sings
to our cries,
my blood spoiled angels.

we're trapped between the gods
their kisses, their shouts
play violins on our wrists.

there is noone to hear
my blood spoiled angels.

our ash is black sculptures,
and tears freeze in slow motion
never reaching the end.

my blood spoiled angels.
