Now this is not my own work, but I like it!

Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

Rob The Badger · 10 Aug 2003, 18:34

Girlfriend left me:
VENT!

The end was nigh
Seven weeks ago
only the best
only the best
the end is night
wont you
wont you sing to me
just one more time
only the dawn
only the dawn
truly speaks to me now
only the heavens
care for me now
so please
don't let me down
this time
this time
don't let me down
this time
Burn on the stake
Morning I wake
Battered and bruised
and your hands
oh they look lovely
today
speak of the world
in some
old
fashoined way
burn down the house
left in the dark
loved in the park
burn downn the lark
that sings in the trees
shoot me again
just one more time
but please
do it right
this time
please do it right
this time
cries in the night
liquer fueled fight
prizing the goal
over over
everything else
damagéd sparks
broken winged larks
that sang in the . . .
so please please
please
please
please let me let me
get what I want this time this time this time
let me get what I want
this time. . . .

Aww great one Eyeore!!! And so sad.

Tim · 12 Aug 2003, 12:06

Great poem Eyeore!!! Very sad, but beautifull!!!

Bren · 13 Aug 2003, 15:50

Like the poem Eyeore,full of feeling...but sad

Bren

Bren · 13 Aug 2003, 16:03

Amongst the stillness
broken memories fall like pieces of a puzzle
refusing to fit the place allotted them.

All wounds heal with time
until this morning
when someone asked me why?

Like old books shelved
the memories have stood an interval of time
collecting dust.
Until a chance enquirey from a friend
like a sudden breeze through an open window
blew away the dusty pretence that "everything was fine"

All wounds heal with time
until tomorrow
when the sunlight might remind me of who i really am

Until the empty trees,
dry grass, the wind's rustle, a voice,
a name , a smile ,a face,
a street, a song, a familiar place
sunlight or the changing seasons echoes,
on some future morning, will remind me.

And the memories will fall
like pieces of a puzzle....that ought to fit
yet make no sense at all.

Awwww great one, Bren... Have you guys ever thought about publishing your works, or have your own book of poetry?

Um, here's a nice site I visit regularly; might be interesting.

www.poetry.com

Rob The Badger · 17 Aug 2003, 21:01

I write lyrics for a band (and have performed vocals for a lot of them) locally and get paid quite a bit to do it. My work is only taken as a lyric so I'd never get it published.

Wild_Honey · 17 Aug 2003, 22:06

Wow, that's interesting, Eyeore!

The only thing I have been told by one of my profs at uni, is that I should have my poetry turned into songs. And I sometimes post my poems to online contests. I never win, but it's still fun.

You, Me, Myself and I

I say yes, go ahead.
Me says no, hold on.
Me and I are struggling with Myself.
I say stop,
Me says go,
and everything's puzzling me.
I smile,
Me cries.
- What is wrong, and what is right?
Myself is wrecked.
I am wearing masks to hide myself.
I don't know me at times.

And You? You love Me and Myself.

And I thank You for that.

Rob The Badger · 18 Aug 2003, 10:10

Nice stuff there WH. Like the concept.
I'm interested is starting a band of my own pretty soon. Though seeing as I only write I'd need some musicians interested in straight-laced rock music. If anyone knows of anyone in the Newport area who fits the bill let me know!

But until then another lyric sheet will have to suffice:

All I Have To Give

The rain speckled stones
As heavy as bones
In the garden
outside your house

Take my hand you pretty thing
Oh please, take me
Just this once
If only for the first time
Please not the last time

I have nothing but myself to give you
And you have nothing but yours
Oh, but that's enough for me dear
For I'm so fond of you
You see

Take my hand, you sweetest of things,
Please, take me,
Just this once,
Just this once,
If only for the first time,
Please, please,
don't let it be the last time.

. . . . . . . . . .

And curious, I showed a couple of my lyrics to a friend and he said it reminded him of the stuff Morrissey did. Any comments?

Hmmmm I would love to join

, but I don't live locally at all!!!

And as for your friend who said your lyrics remind him of Morrissey: Take it as a compliment and be proud!

Oh, and LOVELY POEM AGAIN, Eyeore!!!

Rob The Badger · 18 Aug 2003, 18:35

Cheers again. The Morrissey thing knocked me for six. In a good way. He's like my God. Lyrically at least.
And I'm being a bit selfish here. Everyone who's posted on this board has a really different approach to lyricism/poetry; it's good to see this range. You all rock.

Boy affraid
Gritty, musky alleys
Doors of steel
Wails and squeals
Blood spattered on the crumbling wall. . .
( I fall)
Hollow as the evening is,
The sun still burns
Puddles of mud and ash
Smoke
And the sordid stench
Of failure
And rotting flesh,
Fill the air
And corrupt
The ashen faces
And cigarette traces
Lie broken,
banished on the floor
(I die).

Bren · 18 Aug 2003, 20:00

No...wouldn't do that, Wild Honey..that's not why i write them.
poems are about thoughts and feelings...the majority of mine are about things that have had a deep effect on me in some way.
Whilst i am happy to ocaisionally post one here for friends to read, i certainly would not want any published.

Bren · 18 Aug 2003, 20:02

Now that's integrity for you.

Its raining in my dreams

Its raining in my dreams
Silent tears
Echo down the empty panes
Of this hollow house
That is my mind...

The rain falls
Making wet the delicate shades
Of hope
The colours bleed and run
Puddling to my feet...

Its raining in my dreams
Faith runs down
In scattered droplets
Swirling down the invisible drain
That is my fears
My life...

The rain falls
So dismally I stand
As despiration drenches my
The chill bite of doubt soaks deep
i look around
but theres nothing left to see

So sleep I will
For its raining in my dreams
Washed away by sorrow
There is no hope
There is no tomorrow

...There is only rain...

Tim · 19 Aug 2003, 01:05

Beautifull Poem Mesphury Lady.... Please, post some more.

Are you having some difficult times??? If you want to talk, feel free to email me.

The Butcher.

Rob The Badger · 19 Aug 2003, 09:35

"Echo down the empty panes
Of this hollow house"

Love the possible double meaning of the word panes. Very good stuff there. Post some more when you get round to it. We'd be grateful. ^_^

Rob The Badger · 20 Aug 2003, 20:10

Bump.

meshurp · 22 Aug 2003, 00:01

Thank you

it means a lot to me that you liked it Tim and Eyeore

All That You Could Wish

The moon and all the stars
Clatter through your hands
Hopes and dreams
Blown on the winds of time

For progress changes faith
And future turns its back

No matter that you try
No matter that you fight
The battles lost and won

Many years ago...
Lying
Buried in the past
Many years to come...
As fortune steals a laugh

Have you lost your way?
Stumbled in the dark
For if seeing eyes
Are blind
To a world that is

Yet Blind eyes pave
A path of light
And let you see...

For all that you could wish
You life is all that it could be

Tim · 22 Aug 2003, 00:52

Meshurp lady.... I really, really love it. What a beautifull poem is that. Again...

Specially the last part of the poem is wonderfull!!! So right, so true... so into the hart.

I'm very, very impressed.

The Butcher.

Rob The Badger · 22 Aug 2003, 11:01

Goddamn. That's impressive. Love the first verse.

Rob The Badger · 23 Aug 2003, 18:26

Why is it as the sky turns grey
That I'm stunned in my step
Your hand's in his hand
Why is it as the sky turns grey
That I'm stunned and stepped, (to see)
Your lips on his

"It's only a flame dear"
That's all I had to hear
"I love you and I always have
Oh how very sorry I am". . .

Then why is it as the sky turns black
That your hand's in his not mine
Why is it that I'm stunned in my step
As the sky turns black
That your lips are on his, not mine. . .

Bren · 23 Aug 2003, 22:52

Beautiful, Eyeore

Bren

Tim · 23 Aug 2003, 23:07

Indeed, again a beautifull Poem. Thanks Eyeore!!! Love it also!!!
