Our little Poets...

[dottie]

sadness envelopes me,
darkness surrounds me,
where is the light?

Do I see a ray of light?

No alas just a trick of the night....

Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine,
and maybe just maybe, life will be mine..

[dottie]

How do I fight thee?

Oh blackness that seeps
through the very core of my soul.....

a darkness that has no boundarys
and runs free.....

I will fight thee!

With a smile, a hug, a warm sensation...

Could it be feelings? Feelings of love?

[meshurp]

Really lovely dottie! you capture a real sense of hope!

Dark

why do i cry
when the world turns dark
am i the only soul on earth
who has a heart
a heart aches
a mind breaks
and my world is dark
the shadows cast
by the holders of power
fear
pain
mistrust
creep over my life
streching slowly ever forward
into the future falls
perpetual twilight fills all
all is dark
and in the recess
that used to house my life
my broken
hiding place from rain
shines black out
as darknesss
scores the dark
night visions beckon forth
clouds of dust
to clog the screaming sense
that is my world
fold into myself
and leave me empty
devoid
dark

[Rob The Badger]

I am dead now,
Not soon shall be,
Not in a month
or years,
I am dead now.

I have tried to define myself through word
or gesture
I have tried to define myself in my mind.
This only brings more pain, more anger.

A shadow hangs low over the window,
and I fear that it will envelope me if I move to near

The inky scratchings on my hands,
the stabbing in my heart
the lack of lung space for any air

all this and a sour mind and I am spent.
I have no energy,
I have no thought.

I must die alone, here, now.
Now I am dead,
Not soon shall be,
Not in a month
or years,
Now I am dead.

I tried to cry last night in bed,
but shed not tears but pain instead. . .
I think I'm feeling depressed now. . .
I have begun to realise,
that I am a figment of my own imagination.

The walls are closing in. . .
the sky is close enough to kiss and caress...
The earth is dying beneath me feet.

My arms are twitching. . .
I hope to clasp a warm body in my arms and hold it for dear life. . .
I do not want to die alone,
but I must, for you see, that is far more interesting.

Light from anything feels evil somehow.
And you're evil for thinking that of me.
I'd cry for you if I could.

For ~~~~'s sake do something?
Can't you see I'm killing myself with every single thought?

Can't you see that you're killing me?

I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.

Perhaps, if I hang myself the satisfying
snap
will wake someone and perhaps
they will cry.
Perhaps.
Perhaps the gunshot will be heard for miles.
Perhaps.
Perhaps the willow tree will hold some significance, I hope so.
Perhaps I could write a vitriolic note.
Perhaps.
Perhaps I could just ~~~~ the next boy in the street
and rouse up a media storm.
Perhaps.
Perhaps.

I am dead now,
Not soon shall be,
Not in a month
or years,
I am dead now.
I am dead now.

I am hollow as a burned out tree,
and I'm just about as pretty. . .

Life is truly fleeting. . .
We are born astride of the grave. . .
the light gleams an instant,
then it is night once more.

If he was there I'd ask for God's advice.
Perhaps he'd tell me something. . .
Perhaps.

powerful poem Rob,


I have tried to define myself through word
or gesture
I have tried to define myself in my mind.
This only brings more pain, more anger.

A shadow hangs low over the window,
and I fear that it will envelope me if I move to near


like that.

...your writing goes from strength to strength, you just get better and better.....don't ever give up writing, you have a real skill there

the cat sat on the mat
died one day.

but that big ol' cat
continued to sat
on the mat
o the mat
in the hall.

[KebLou]

My Corner
The pain within you,
Lays heavy on your shoulders,
As you trudge on,
Wondering is this life worth this hassle,
More pain and stress
Lodges itself on you shoulders,

Your shoulders are heavy,
This pain is weighing you down,
Everyday more is added,
Nothing is taken away,

I sit in this corner,
Watching everything you do,
Your hunch grow each day,
No one will help you,
Even your tears are alone
Rolling down your chin.

Each day of watching I become more attached to you,
I'm scared of you seeing me,
Even though that could never be,
I hope for you but hope seems lost on you
Crying is pointless so you trudge on,
Where is this life taking you?

Tears are drying on your chin,
As I wipe away my tears,
I want to help you
But I can't help myself,
The taste of tears are strong in our mouths.

[KebLou]

Untitled
Your eyes are heavy with sleep,
Tired beyond tired,
Drained is nothing,
You've lost all your colour,
Pale and fragile people watch you,
Checking, always checking,
Even your pretend smile no longer fulfils them,
Feelings are cut off,
The emptyness had taken over,
They say they didn't mean what they said,
They say they care about you,
Who cares what they say?
You lived your life how they said to,
It led you to this.
This hole full of emptyness,
This hole which is never filled.

You can feel tears deep in your chest,
What could you possibly have to cry about?
For you're empty inside,
They took it all with a smile,
There you are once again
Head in your hands fighting sleep
With tears fighting their way out.


I can't even remember writing this, scary.

[DIZZY DRUMMER]

I have seen these two poems & want to dedicated them to my friends here................

Especially - you all know who you are

Many people will walk in
and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave
footprints in your heart.

People need people and friends need friends
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldy fame,
But just in knowing that someone cares
And holds us close in their thoughts and prayers-
For only the knowledge that we're understood
Makes everyday living feel wonderfully good,
And we rob ourselves of life's greatest need
When we "lock up our hearts" and fail to heed
The outstretched hand reaching to find
A kindred spirit whose heart and mind
Are lonely and longing to somehow share
Our joys and sorrows and to make us aware
That life's completeness and richness depends
On the things we share with our loved ones
and friends

[Rob The Badger]

All I want in life's
a little bit of love to
take the pain away..

DREAMCATCHER

I dream of roses when all I get is thorns.
I am living for tomorrows but have to cope with today.
I want to look ahead but memories
Get me down.
I want to hold on to things but am being pushed forward.
What’s right and what’s wrong?
Everyone says I’m crazy. Should I care?
Am I to blame for what I like?
Do they all avoid me because I’m just myself?
Why can’t I just be loved?
Why doesn’t anyone love me for who I am?
I am there, and I don’t want to stop
Nor change for no-one.
I’m hiding myself away.
Locked up in my private suffering.
I’m my own slave, tortured.
Burnt inside but icy surface.
Red rivers on my skin.
Just every now and then when
The blood is begging to be freed.
Oh yes, indeed, my life is my own.
So don’t you try to change me.
Am I mad?
Possibly maybe.

[Bren]

like the poem Wild Honey ......and nice to see you

[Rob The Badger]

I was thinking..."Hey, no one's posted in Our Little Poets for a while..."

A sense of place
This is my place,
My home
and my space.


It was for my photography course.

Loving You

I don't know when it began.
Let's say it began
Two years ago.

I don't know why,
But I looked at you
and knew
You had me under your spell...
I couldn't tell my heart from my
head

Fast-forward,
No more time
to rewind.

Can't stop thinking.
How much I like you,
oh how I want to be near you
everyday.

But curse these rotten veins,
curse these rotten veins.
the blood they contain
flows for you
flows for you.

and curse me for feeling blue,
and curse me for loving you.

You lie in the bed.
So soft.
Those eyes,
they see more than I
ever could,
Oh that sweet head lies so softly.
Lies so terrible, they would break my heart.

When you lie, when you say, when you talk
to me, I feel.
Like I could scatter my brain
on the floor
Just to make conversation.

You Angel,
that's what You are.
I don't doubt it for a moment...

Curse you,no no no,
Don't curse,
you at all.
For you see, it's not you,
it's me...

[Gez]

You could possibly be merited with being talented .........although insanity's just round the corner

[Wild_Honey]

Beautiful Rob!

And thanks all for your comments... yeah been a while since I posted. like... a year? lol.



LONELY SOUL

You wake up deep at night
Due to your own lonely cries.
Your mind still in a slumber,
You feel so cold.
A pain and nothing more
Lies where your heart should be,
But the fire has died away.

Dreamshaped, you get up, dress,
Leave,
Your sickening home.
Wander, with heavy bones,
Through the dark city.
Down, down, to the pale lit
Glowing harbour lights.

It’s all oh, so quiet. Blissful.
Snow lies like a blanket,
Covering up the sleeping boats.
A shriek in the sky.
A swarm of black crows.
A happy flicker in your eyes.
Your heart is lighter.

Whistling winds on your cheeks,
You walk out on the ice.
Miles and miles.
All of a sudden, the sky is alit
By a band of light.
Aurora Borealis is here to stay.
Just for a while, with you.

Breathless, you gaze, stare
Into the night, the dance
Of fading sparks,
Some released magic.
Purity of nature.
You know things will be fine
As your eyes of Emerald Green

Merge with the Northern Lights.

[Wild_Honey]

...bump.

Very nice Wild Honey

"'I'm still alive?'
Oh God not again.

Damn these days,
they drag on so long.
I long for an end,
something definite.
Who wants eternal life?
Not me,
You see,
I long for an end."

On sunday, we're going to take a drive
Just you, me
(and some other, slightly less relevant people)

Aha-ha!
Look at me!
I'm carefree!
Look at me, damnit!

so we're going to go for a drive...
there's something on the radio
it seems suspiciously relevant...
(driving in your car, oh please don't drop me home, because I haven't got one)
anyway, he said it better than I ever could...

So don't leave me alone,
let us drive on and on and on,
like some film with Susan Sarandon, only
with a more attractive male...
You stole my soul,
you know that?

I'm going to pretend this road is a metaphor...
(we're on a road to nowhere)
"Come on inside!"

You know I just want to live like the nomads,
just the four of us, travelling
from place to place
I'd love it.

Of course, we'd sleep in the same bed...
of course, it'd all be platonic
and we'd kick Sian out...
because she's small and can sleep in the car...

Who needs money?
We'll live off eachother,
living and breathing and eating eachother's hearts until we exist in one soul...

Just imagine that...

I want you all to know,
what liking people will do to you.

[Rob The Badger]

Life

Sometimes I sit and wonder what is the point?
Bad news surrounds me, children harrass me
What is the point?
Then, out of the blue, a hug a smile and an "I love you mam"
Suddenly I feel silly, selfish and loved.
There is a point.
Life.


Love
Angelxxx
