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. Bren |

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 Mee |

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. bren |

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. |
