POETRY TAG AUGUST 09 EDITION (Page 8) Zhya: Sweet Potato Gumdrops By: X Sweet potato gumdrops and jalapeno ice cream Delights that appear in pepperoni-induced dreams How did you end up naked in the mall? Why does my every nightmare end with a fall? ©2009 X Zhya: Brain Quake By: Wolfos Brain quake Sound I take No one around I wouldn't make a sound But no My conscience takes the blow Walk through the sensors... What do you expect? They didn't go off No rhyme this time ©2009 Wolfos Zhya: Does My Lawn Dance? By: Reaper Does my lawn dance? No it is emo, it cuts itself I do not have to slave away with the stupid lawn mower Because it does not dance It is emo I am so lazy I'm so glad my lawn is so emo I don't need to slave away any more It does not dance gracefully when the wind pushes against it I'm one lazy son of a b~%$y and and I love my lawn even though it's emo ©2009 Reaper Zhya: Millionaires By: xbombchellex Living the big life With your nice cars And your beautiful wife Put your money where your mouth is But you ain't changing You're just a High class prick Just like the other But money won't get you Nowhere And someday you'll see ©2009 xbombchellex Zhya: Disaster By: Nick Has Nooo Idea Wind picks up Moving steady A little more The air is ready To sweep this town From whence it came Deposit it In terrible fame These houses stood On wood and plaster No saving them From this disaster Town swept away Thirty Four killed Naught left to do But rebuild Nature's majesty Is a wild beast Fire and brimstone Is just the least Nine remained From Forty Five A small town smaller But still alive ©2009 Nick Has Nooo Idea Zhya: Circus Tickets By: itskristinab*tch The Moscow circus is the one I once saw Stamping elephants and crest-fallen lion Slapped with whips, and beaten down into angry submission How i wanted to slap the keepers, and the torturers Mother asked if I had a good time at the show I surely did not Not knowing how those poor, beautiful beasts had t spend their night looked away in small cages Not much room to strut and run I told her in the end I'd gladly trade the circus tickets for a bag of the circus peanuts the next time. ©2009 itskristinab*tch Zhya: The Gogoplex By: Wolfos I've passed this place many times Seen the people walk by the yard Never once did I see the one Seems that the gods have kept her far Trapped on her island Or is it me on my rock Can't see too far The others seem to mock Been to many clubs Too many to count same with bars, malls, tech schools Not one would I ever mount Millions a day Thousands an hour Hundreds a minute Need to build my tower ©2009 Wolfos Zhya: Basic Instinct By: Cursed_Eternity Darkness surrounds Cloaking the forest in an inky blackness In the not so far distance, a sound is heard A cracking of twigs Now a rustle of leaves I freeze, paralyzed from sudden fear I listen carefully, to the sounds of the night Leaves crunching beneath a heavy step Paralysis sinking ever deeper The sound is getting closer Silence falls, then without warning, another twig snaps This time so close that I jump into air This time so close that I jump into air And run as fast as I can into the night ©2009 Cursed_Eternity Zhya: Crossroads By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu Tears of the shattered world rest upon the hands Look into the black and turn away from white Scattered along the wind to shadow of distance Faced with left and right Tears run down the face of innocence CHOSE! words are shouted Broken hearts and shattered dreams Only to choose what is thought to be right Standing alone with dissipating light. Shadows rest on the face One dances with joy the other with death Clenches your chest Asking the world what do I choose ©2009 Iced_Heart_Ritsu Zhya: Raspberry Quilt By: Skiddles This is more than a coverlet Greater than a spread Hand-sewn memories Lay across the bed It's pleasure and pain Laughter and sorrow Bits of fabric Thoughts of tomorrow A beautiful panorama Of scraps of my life From the moments of glory To the ones of strife Cherishing the story Of times that have been A gate I can open To once live again It's more than a blanket This Raspberry Quilt It a completed jigsaw puzzle Of the life I have built ©2009 Skiddles Zhya: Running Vaguely By: Cursed_Eternity A dusty road under my feet Dry sand peppers the air with every step I take The road goes on into the horizon with no end in sight Darkness builds from deep within Pain, anger, hate, disillusionment All rear their ugly heads from a place I never knew was there Suddenly the tears fall, tears I didn't know I had My footsteps unknowingly pick up speed I run, run from the past I was unaware had caused so much hurt Into the horizon, with no thought on where I am going or if there is even an end ©2009 Cursed_Eternity Zhya: Remembering By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu In my mind An Instant Etched in memory forever Plucked from the obscurity Of high-school dinners And cold Winter mornings When the snow was fresh And when the air was Riped with dew I find myself caught within a web Of stony tombstone rock. To everyone else a statistic To me My flesh My blood Ensnared in the realm Of delirium, neglect And drunkerdness. Sanity may have slid Through the grasp of the protector Or was The soothing bitterness Of the devil Too enticing to ignore? Stronger than love Temptation must be A death bed A luxury She was not at liberty To have- Merely A downtown cradle Cris-crossed with Broken bottles Entwined with syringes Woven around Discarded cigarette As she drew her final breath Amongst the stench of ethanol She drifted out of this world Never to wake again.. Buried in a pothole Rife with disease And the rain Of days gone by But No more than Four feet deep At last the sad eyes close unto the world Whipped from minds and hearts alike Is there such a thing To remember ©2009 Iced_Heart_Ritsu Zhya: If You Could By: Skiddles If you could Do you think you would, Do you think you should, Think before you stood, And stated what you think is good, How you try to be the Robin Hood, And were the one who withstood Their hypnosis, that you'd Save us all. I think you could, I think you would, I think you should, Just sit back down. ©2009 Skiddles Zhya: Bleeding Echo By: Crash00 The echo starts slowly I listen..... It makes me wonder.....sometimes And then I remember the pain, as I wake The hills of my home, I remember them still I long to be back there, With her and the roses It seems so far away now The heart grows weary with time, I think I hear the wind at night It whispers, and I listen with a dream I recall the starry nights of carelessness I still hear the song of the nightingale As it sings to her content It stirs a faint echo of memory, not certain, But carried on the soul My home, the wonderful world I left The person I came to be ......... Tears fall, mostly when I'm in that well known place, Just between sleep and wake The pain always comes then, I see the place of my birth And I am cradled in arms I can almost hear her thoughts, Before I am ripped away by the light Find a hot date for tonight Like a leaf in a storm I know where I have been I know where I am Where I'm going I cannot conceive My mind is foggy, my thoughts blurred I am spiraling in an unknown direction, Walking a path of uncertainty Sometimes I feel my mothers arms around me, But I know it is a desire of the aching heart, As real as an echo of a dream. ©2009 Crash00 Zhya: Burnt Intelligence By: Skiddles The smell of flesh filled My lungs; imploding masterfully Post intake of Oxygen into Lobes designed to contribute Life unto the organ donor Entirety of screams drumming Mallets against the inner Ear; Vibrations seize Thoughts of death and flame Religion and Rationality Of Einstein taken from Their Homes and hearts to Burn intelligence to extinction. ©2009 Skiddles Zhya: Perceived Lustful Pregnancy By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu You slide your hand down the silken fabric Color rush to the surface The pull of the time The pressure of bodies The tears that runs down a face Sadness? Happiness? The flash backs won't leave Wrapped in warm light Lights above your head The terrible smell of after shave the stubble across soft skin cries Screams The shouting of "why this time?" "What did i do to get this?" Heated false passion One miserable night Your lust thrown onto my body 9 months of trying to forget Laying in the white bed covered in red stains The little cries of life and joy Can love be giving to such a hate Looking in the small face holding the tiny hands Can all that be seen is that perceived lustful night? Slowly backing away from time Wrapping the red ribbon in her hair All the thoughts rush back The perceived lustful night I was giving such a gift Love can be giving to such a hateful night ©2009 Iced_Heart_Ritsu Zhya: Truth By: Channy1378 As I think through our day I go over the things you had to say You whisper quietly into my ear "Hunny I love you" But do you really love me? But what I want is the real truth Are you IN love with me? Past memories float across my mind The touch of your soul to mine Electricity shoots through my veins And then it hits me You are my soul mate But we can not be Because as I mention being IN love with you, you turn and flee I lay here now with my heart spilled out You just confirmed the truth ©2009 Channy1378 Zhya: Wicked Beauty By: itskristinab*tch Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh So many songs i have sung And so many people i have lured to Sharon and his river Styx The cusp of the living world and the on of dead below Down to the level of Hades Now the hundred-handers are the masters All it took was a beautiful song burning into an ear and into the brain Logic, reason, and the urge to survive fails Listen to the song. the sweet song of my desires Only for your death. Taking you to the river styx Have your coin to pay for your ride, as it's the reaper who drives. The only it took to possess the dead Was my siren's song to crash a score of fragile bodies to their death The music of the soulless is the true wicked beauty. Now Hades has you, and there is no return. Ceberus will never let you go. ©2009 itskristinab*tch Zhya: Holes In The Swiss Cheese By: OUT_OF_ORDER Smooth in sections, but filled with holes Until you slice it more unfold My heart like a block of Swiss cheese Easily edible, a savory treat ©2009 OUT_OF_ORDER Zhya: What a Ww^$# By: Cursed_Eternity The bright lights beckon Like a lighthouse showing a sailor his way home Then it hits me like a freight train I try to fight it but its a fight I've lost countless times The need to give in is frightening The compulsion is a disease that slowly eats me alive My feet move toward the lights on their own, I have no control As I open the door I can't help but wonder if I will ever be free But then I realize that my soul was devoured I can no longer save myself There is no redemption ©2009 Cursed_Eternity Zhya: Calling Me By: aliceellen Waiting, hoping Something's right That maybe you'll call tonight I know it futile but still I'll try I never got to say goodbye So I'm waiting for you to call But knowing that there's no hope at all So instead I'll call this time Just so that I can say goodbye ©2009 aliceellen Zhya: Memories By: Iced_Heart_Ritsu The rain falls over the leaves Sitting on the steps Flash backs Laughs, smiles, tears, kisses Arguments echo off my mind Please forgive me Pulling puppet strings of emotions Broken glass scatters the ground Bloody hands touching my face Soft tears hit my cheeks Cold and warm embrace each other Resting the love and hate on the lap Kept asking why Sobs as news is given Shouting from my lungs Wrapping arms around myself Holding the pain at bay I close my eyes Smiles and chuckles fade into my mind Soft petals touch my skin I stare up at your face The cheeky smile The brushing of lips Only memories invade my mind Gripping the mug of hopes A single tears still falls as blame lay upon one self Hating you hating me Throwing the mug shouting to the sky Come Back. Lay awake at night Still I feel your hand intertwined with mine I'll always hold that dance I'll keep smiling I'll keep remembering our memories As I sleep with silent unseen tears ©2009 Iced_Heart_Ritsu |
