Thank you very much RSG. Although I have only been writing poetry (seriously) for about a year at most. You can actually see when I started to write the darker stuff on some of the early pages of this thread. All my best work has been posted here. Later today I'll post part three of my "Poems On How Life Is" series. . .

As promised.

No 3 of 4
"Rob on Iconoclasm"

Oh, I say
He's really a head
He's on a pedastal
I certainly didn't put him there,
Did you?

He must've sold his soul
He's got it all
He's dancing on eggshells
I hope he falls. . .

He must've sold his soul
I say, he got a very poor deal
He'll be lashed in the street next. . .
No secrets left to reveal

Oh, I say
He's really dead?
Fell off his pedastal and broke his neck
Don't blame me, I didn't put him there
Did you?

Well. . .granted it's a life of sin
But it sure looks like fun
Step over the celebrities now abhorred
Lift me up; I wanna be adored . . .

No 4 of 4
"On How Life Is"

There's a star above the horizon tonight
Which falls and shatters on the hills
There's a full moon rising o'er the houses tonight
Which crumbles and falls on the city

Guillotine wires
bring heavenly choirs
And a love that must not be named
Prays heavy on the mind of little boys. . .

Oh, to be alone with oneself for the littlest of while's
I wouldn't say no to that.
But in dark, heavy rooms the little cat sat
Pawing the door to the hall

Sighs and lies are all the same
Shattered glass by the picture frame
Two in the morning, late afternoon
Distorted sound, a nostalgic tune (repeats)

Car horns and empty grins
Smell the same to an old man rocking
Gently in his chair

A little boy cries with the world on his shoulder
As the things they believe in burn up and smoulder
Little dogs/girls whimper like cats in the cradle
Serving fat men soup from the ladle

From cradle to grave
You're god's little slave
So you you moan and you cry
And you just want to die

But deep in your heart of hearts you know,
That's not the way you want to go.

I seriously can't think of a word powerful enough for such an explosive poem! Can I ask how old you are Eeyore? That is really awesome, I love the part that goes...

Guillotine Wires
Bring Heavenly choirs

Incredible Eeyore, really incredible!!

Powerful poems Eyeore....my favourite is still "Day after day"

My offering for today

November Monday

How quietly stand the trees
outside my window,
morning dew
soft-fallen on thier limbs.
Motionless and still.
No breath of wind
does stir the quiet air
that frames thier silent boughs.
No leaf fall now.
No restless, wild, untameable
breeze
to t oss and turn and tear these trees.
New beauty found
in lifeless limbs
that cross and upward stretch,
and intricately trap the sky within the web they weave.
in fragile flowing forms
silhouetted dark against the light sky.
No wind now
to make them sigh
just tears of rain
that fall and lie unseen
inside the heart
till time that's past
does bid them die.

Well, I had to edit this, the rythem didn't sound right to me, so I made some adjustments


Bad Memories, Never Really Leave

Horrific images never leave my head,
Terrible feelings of the past that I dread.

Snaps of his belt, the marks he left behind,
So scared of the thoughts of him how can anyone tell me unwind.
Mother's make up covered scars,
Though some maybe gone, mental ones aren't far.

"Dad don't! Stop!" What I'd say as a kid,
But everything I said, wouldn't stop what he did.

At times I keep it to myself,
Its best to keep it inside.
Because if I do, I might for get,
Who Am I kidding

Bad Memories Never Really Leave.

bah. . .can't write a poem. . .grr

We all have our own path
Which we must walk
Well, I'm staying inside
I don't want to go out today

I lost my faith in womanhood
I lost my faith in God
I lost my faith in myself
(I lost my keys)

I am a man of utter simpleness
I thrive on the day to day pining for love
And the mundane soup served cold
Well. . .it'd take world war three to make me care
But even then I'd rather listen to a man who cannot sing

Bye bye

We love your poetry Eyeore!

Dark

Why do i cry
When my world turns dark
Am i the only soul on earth
Who has this heart
A heart breaks
A mind aches
And my world is dark
The shadows cast
By the figures of power
Fear
Pain
Mistrust
Creep over my life
Stretching slowly
Ever blackly forward
Perpetual twilight fills out
All is dark
And in the recess
That used to house my life
My broken
Hiding place from rain
Shines black out
From silent empty eyes
And the darkness scores
The dark
Night visions scorn
Man beckons forth
Clouds of dust
To clog the screaming sense
That is my world
Fold in to myself
And leave me empty
Devoid
Dark

Lovely poem Meshurp.

I feel it would be criminal to not record this moment of time in my life. It's self-explanitory.


I wanted a boy for Christmas
And I may just get my wish
There may be things like miracles
And I may have stumbled on one

It took years of lonliness
To put me in my place
But now it'll take gunshot
To wipe the smile from my face

I'll walk to the highest mountain
To tell the world the news
That at long last I've found happiness
Which I don't intend to lose

I wanted a boy for Christmas
And I may still get my wish
Miracles happen to those who wait
And Lord knows I've waited enough

It took years of lonliness
To put a smile on my face
But it only takes a dry remark
To put me back in my place

Please love my for me
I don't like the pain
And I never want to go back
To that old house again.

I wrote this off the cuff. Without thinking I put these words to paper, so I dunno what they mean.

I need an outlet
I need a doctor
I need you
I need something in my arms
I need a needle
A grave
(or so they say)
Pardon the expression,
but he shit on my parade
he killed a hope so long lying desperate
he stabbed me in the dark
on a friday afternoon
in the winter cool he killed.

It was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek. So take it with a pinch of salt.

I Don't Usually Do This Sort Of Thing

Before you lay me on the bed
Spread eagle with you head on my lap
I must tell you something, dear

Before you take me by the hip
And make me a happy lad
I must warn you dear,

I don't usually do this sort of thing
Ask me and I'll tell you
Ask my friends, they'll say the same:
"He generally likes to know their name"

How the air is cold
With no clothes but eachother
Oh my, don't we wear them well
But there is one secret left to tell. . .

I don't usually do this sort of thing
I'm coy and reserved
And I stay at home
I don't usually lie with people like you
With innocent, beautiful, boys like you

Ask me and I'll tell you
Ask my friends and they'll all say
"You might just put your tongue away"

But for you I might just make an exception
For the deed that goes without a mention
For a kind hearted beast as yourself

You can have me for breakfast.

All my dreams
thrown out like stars
across the blackness,
fade and diminish
with each new day.
'Till all the little
lights of hope
go out one by one,
and all that's left
is the empty black
to stumble
blindly through.
Falling
always falling
backwards
downwards
one step forward
two steps back
never really
gaining ground,
and each new ray of hope
glimpsed but momentarily
dies like a shooting star
and is forever
gone.

Spoons

Spinning spoons
With silent eyes
Tell me what your dreams
Here
With laughing children
Falling greys crying
And memories old
Keep sake
For now is forever
The future is not
The past was
Yet days can never be
So we look to you
As we contemplate tea
For you must
Keep our lives
Hold on to strings
And puppets fly
Nothing perceived
Our minds to small
So too
Dear dancing spoons
We entrust our all


mee.

That's the best poem about spoons I've ever read. . .

Here's a lyric I sribbled down yesterday. . .

Where are you?
Lost in your own eyes.
You should be careful,
You might end up living life
In a rented room in the east end.

A gritty town where you once played
The blood stains are still there. . .
And there are screams hidden in the walls

The backstreet alley
Still smells of almonds,
The peeling room
Where you stuck the wick
In my little heart
And lit it. . .just to watch it burn
You lit my heart to watch it burn.

You're still lost in those soulless eyes of yours. . .
If it seems like we're still cold. . .
Then we're probably laughing somewhere

We've arms so holy
There's no room left for the needles
Mass suicide gone horribly wrong
And we killed a pig instead

You're as old as the graves now
Aand aren't you the smug little swine?
You feel as high as the bodies on the gallows
And you love their meaningless praise.

You're still falling into those hollow eyes
Alone on the bloody floor.

Here I stand,
Upon this knife-edge,
The lines are drawn,
I must choose my fate.
Decide between right and wrong,
Which choice is right?
Which choice is left?
I stand alone,
To blindly choose my fate.

Each second lasts an eternity,
And with each eternity my choice draws near.
And in the space of a heartbeat,
I shall decide my destiny.
I cannot see my future.
My choice awaits.
Will fate guide me?
Or will it be too late?

A night to remember that is true
I just needed to share it with you
An artist, performer, a real Gent
A voice that was from heaven sent

A little Sin was one of many there
But, she could only stand and stare
He came on stage, I caught my breath
At first he was dicing with death

Then there was an almighty clash,
He rose again and cut quite a dash
Faces flashing before my eyes
Proved the rumours were all lies

He sang from the bottom of his soul
Showing he was complete and whole
As one giant beast, the crowd roared
My heart missed a beat and soared

Words and feelings, in full harmony
To create intense feelings inside me
So high I flew, and am still up there
I just knew you would want to share.

Hero Imprisoned

There's a silver moon
sending shivers through my head
There's nobody here
But I'm choking on people

There's a silver, glowing moon
Burning holes in my eyes
There's a shadow in my mouth
I'm suffocating on people

Hungry streets claw at your feet
This is what happens when you stay too long
Houses that pry and doorways that bleed
This is what happens when you never move on

A thunderous silence
A lifeless party
There are demons in the windows
And people at your door

They talk so loud
But it doesn't matter what they say
They chatter and batter
BUT IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!

I'm leaving it all behind
I'm stepping on the train
Ho hum, it's in my mind
Hideous trick of the brain

I'm stepping out the door
I've a napsack on my shoulder
Oh, what a sickening bore
And the nights are drawing colder

I'm bleeding from the earlobe
There's a lobster in my mouth
I'm choking down the gasoline
I'm never heading south

The stoney sea of faces
Crushes every desperate plea
Eavesdropping on a pointless conversation
Isn't what it used to be

If I were in love,
I'd tie a lasso to the moon
And bring it down for him

But I'm not in love
I'm just in debt
And that's all
I'll ever get.
