Essence

feeds@yuku.com (arandomguy) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:44:21 GMT

I know this is not a masterpiece. Just random ideas I wrote after some recent experiences... Months ago I broke up with my girlfriend, whom I really loved. Just recently I fell in love with a friend... She seemed interested too. But now she just doesn't seem to care for me anymore... Don't know what happened.

It's that weird feeling all over again
Heart's sank
My soul feels empty
Nothing can appease it

A drop at a time, my...

At the end of a barrel, at the tip of a sword, holds the meaning to our end and the future I look for. In a time in which falling deep into glass, the shadows fall past the first to the last. So all I do is pray, as I swallow and sway. I cant find the meaning to the start of the day. "why are we all here" is what they always say, but why do they all want to stay. I don't know and I cant see past the mist that surrounds me, I choke upon the air like its smoke from a foundry. Im...

Resolve

feeds@yuku.com (NiCK) — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:10:06 GMT

I think it's time to understand,
take on the responsibilities at hand
We cant be dependent forever,
we have to grab on the lever
and start to pull it down..

I think it's time for maturity
before we get devoured by insanity
Time to act and stop thinkin'
or else we'll start sinkin'
and forever will be drowned..

Wasted time that led to damnation,
all we need is a little bit of recollection
We don't need...

My Own Despair...

feeds@yuku.com (FantasyBrawler) — Sun, 10 May 2009 09:57:01 GMT

My Own Despair...
My life is nothing new or old.
I feel no warmth, and am so cold.
I search all day for a beam of light.
But I´m alone in endless night.
In the distance i hear this sound.
I´ve looked so far yet haven´t found
Anything except for me.
And all the things that I could be.
I finally decide that today is the day
To leave this place and go a stray.
I stand up fast and begin to run.
So I can leave this...

Motion Sickness lays wrought across the rails

Motion Sickness lays wrought across the rails
Finest hour of the mighty dollar
Frozen wastes inexorably wake
Details

Little moments

Harvest floods across the earth
Darkening light of age reason one
Coconuts floating recedes sink or swim
Often with time
Dearth

A man-eating tiger or a tiger-eating man?

- Oh! I believe it's something.
- Again you're laughing at me!
Look here…
____________- Stop and drink your tea.
- Listen to me! A minute ago I saw…
- A flying ostrich. Drink and say no more.
- I didn't see an ostrich, Dad…
- And you haven't drunk your tea yet.

And on my way home after the swimming-pool…

When Mercury Spills

feeds@yuku.com (Catie) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:21:29 GMT

When mercury spills on my tear stained face
and all that's left is a rancid taste,
I decline to speak, but it matters less
than any old woman of yesterday or today.

When mercury spills onto my breasts,
lumps in motion contrive a demeaning narrative,
an assent unto nothingness, darker than the rest
of all my days and nights comparative.

When mercury spills into my veins
darkness is the blanket that covers a cold...

The American way

feeds@yuku.com (Rjohnson) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:28:51 GMT

People try to tell me how to talk and it's damn irritating.
They cram political correctness down my throat and it's aggravating.
Even preachers are getting politically correct when they preach.
I guess people have forgot that we have freedom of speech.
I'll talk the way I want because that's supposed to be the American way.
I know for a fact that the world has seen better days.
I don't say Native American or African American; I say Indian and...

And All I wanted was

Touched By Guilt

feeds@yuku.com (osolaidback) — Tue, 20 Apr 2004 04:02:09 GMT

I tossed a coin at the bundle of rags
Barely recognising the torture they hid
Dark doorway , damp and cold
Hiden hovel, someones home
No escape from the elements
Surrendering to poverty
She someones daughter , someones sister
Maybe a long lost mother
Outstreched hand , callous and rough
Blackened overgrown fingernails
Gut wrenching aroma filled the air
Saddened eyes fix me in her stare

I tried to walk on, overcome with guilt
But i was rooted to the...

Poisonous Mind

feeds@yuku.com (Lazylad) — Sat, 17 Apr 2004 16:16:15 GMT

I didn't mean them, those words I said.
I didn't mean them; there's another voice inside my head.
I wouldn't say that, you know me.
But now theres another side trying to break free.
I tried to fight it off but it was too late.
Now your heart is full of sadness while mine is filled with hate.
Hate for myself, because of words I can't rewind.
Damn the destruction caused by my POISONOUS MIND.

3 Poems

THE POET FINDS HIS ACTRESS

"God," he gulped, tearing down his pants, "I wanna be
the third of your five husbandsthe one..."

"Oh! Honey! Yes! You!" She opened in love, in trust,
beneath him. "The one who makes the funeral arrangements."

LOOP

"GIVE ME A BEER!" Tom who wants to be a painter said,
coming in and pounding his fist on the good wood of the bar.

"It's done man. We're doing it. We're getting the divorce.
Two fucking years. I feel...

Idolizing Ana(Adrianna)

feeds@yuku.com (vipermnc007) — Fri, 16 Apr 2004 19:05:05 GMT

Strolling along hand in hand,
I remember where it all started.
I was lost in a world
of false hopes and dreams.
Much like children who've
just discovered the reality of Santa Claus;
to be hurt so much and lied
to for so long that they freeze.
I was beyond frozen back then,
I had already shattered into
bits of ice and melted away into nothing.
My thought had left me alone
in a land of despair. Slowly however,
after meeting you, my watered down

Your Just A Ghost

well, i just wrote this, it pretty much describes all i feel right now about a certain situation, thanks all. /Rob

your words overcome me
clinging to every moment thats shared
i absorb you slowly, i can feel you
but these dreams were lost worlds ago
why create visions that serve as barriers
i know, i want you too, i can still feel you
part of me wants to believe
recreating all which was long forsaken
a subtle kiss, long overdue, feeling you
patience is...

Hollow Houses

feeds@yuku.com (unboundpoet) — Thu, 15 Apr 2004 16:27:38 GMT

Haunted hearts and hollow houses
lay hushed in faint perfume
blackberry vines choke the porches
in lightless quietude.
Resigned to strangled surrender
the bramble holds me too

The bramble holds me too.

White milky breast has turned to dust
the suckling lips, gone pale
mete out a forlorn lullaby
the barren cradle wails.
Wrapped in wraithweb the rocking chair
I cannot breach the veil

I cannot breach the veil.

Tired willows bow in...

Good Times, end times

feeds@yuku.com (Don Hakman) — Thu, 15 Apr 2004 14:43:29 GMT

Good times , End times
As events turn worse
It's too late to learn
If you're breathing the curse
It may be our turn
With sorrow to come
Still the Dark Ages
Were Golden for some

she gave up 10%/tithes to alters/hoping to spread wealth

I won't be caught again

Im already gone..

you suddenly found your voice..
it's too late..
to need me now
you don't even have a choice..

Open Locs

in roots there is a

fusion of the goddess strands

haloed tips of gold

swinging ropes of strength stored bars

cherished tales of old

these my dear are what extends our

souls to the world

these my dear that which bends our

minds are precious pearls

and when the sun hits........

each antenna erect to feed

they glow and they glisten

as light provides what is...
