If I could rope the moon & Tug it down to me
I'd write your name upon it in a Deep Pearl Green.
And with those 4 little letters I'd script "just so you all can know,
I adore this Woman deeply with in my very Soul."
Before i sent it back into the stary sea,
I'd Kiss it with a wish of hope you feel the same as me.
If I could rope the moon & Tug it down to me.
I'd write your name upon it for all the world to see.
Once it got back there I'd take you to Paris.
So we could glance upon it, up in the stary sea.
So please know this Anna,.....I adore you....deeply.

I remember when I was at a time
when every thing arround me was fantastic
I remember this because that's when I learned the word
it was my 681st word
Or so I seem to recall
I can see a time from now when I am grey
where I turn my neck to look at the rainy day
On the beach of mars dressed in black
in the cantina called the MartianTrack
I seem to remember a me
full of pride and potential
but without the praise it seems he
was everything but influential
his life carried him down the current with great haste
faster and faster as he went
only to stagnate in this place
never will strong river relent

snap!..

snap!..

snap!..

snap!..

snap!..

snap!..

snap!..

snap!..

down
through the infinity of recolective revivification
into the vibrating melow of dark existance
never looking forward into the light but rather
backward into our minds
ever growing our fears feeding them as we go
the more we hear the voices the more we are sure
the entropic mist of the divine universe
must flow through and dissolve all into the
dark of the blackest bleakest night
no light nothing but leeching dark
and draining shadow to pull longingly at your soul
help me it calls to the very stitches of your soul
panick overtakes the grim realization that is soul
downward now into the bubbling boiling inferno that
is the spite that I have so carefully tamed with marshmellows and chocolate and affection
you think that it is all night and no day? Even in my greatest hour is it bleak and even in my most
deprived I am still rich! There is always a balance but not always knowing one I find it
in my existance where it tells me how it all belongs
that voice inside your head that says"mabey I'll do this:"
and I listen
listen well, I keep my imagination, and use it to do my sorting
insanity is like a glove: it makes some uncomfortable, it doesn't fit everybody, but it's just fine by me

TheLoneOne · 04-27-2006, 01:21 PM

eh... I'll use the most recent one.

once upon a time
it seemed so long ago
that a lonely shadow
opened his heart
to one who did not see
what he held back
to scared to show her
unable to speak those words
but wrote them down in time
and upon each line and passage
he had shown his admiration
a hidden love for one so precious
but so scared to let it show
and as the fates decided
he must love her from afar
to know that for now
her heart could not be his
but with the passing months and years
his thoughts always seemed to linger
upon the precious beauty
he loved so long ago
and with folded hands he prays
for just one day, she could be his
that her heart he would cherish
and she could feel the warmth
of his gentle love
and held in soft embrace
he may know the touch of her hand
the taste of her kiss
to become lost in her loving eyes
but tears begin to form
longing for the precious moment
but fearing it may never be
but hope guides him onward
as he drifts into gentle slumber
that maybe, just maybe
he will have just one day

my poem:
In my mind, the thoughts they linger, as I lay down my saw, where is my finger. Oh my god, look at the blood, covering myself like a spring rain. I grip it tight, try not to go black. Looking franticly on the ground, trying to find that finger so round. I think damn, that was my favorite, had so many uses, will it ever function again. I have to find it, I need it now, but wait.. oh oh, i see it. Oh precious finger of mine there you are. I reach to get it, with happiness and glee, and then a bird flys down and takes it away from me.. I grab my nail gun in desperation, and start shootin up in the air like a soldier in the dessert storm opperation. I nailed that sucker, and he falls to the ground.. So happy am I, hands raised up in the air like Rocky's first fight.. Oh shit, I just shot myself with the nail gun..

there you have it all.. my random made up poem .. By D. Jagannatha.

purple_fusion_87 · 04-28-2006, 09:09 PM

okay guys heres mine

Drifting…
Thoughts hastening, tears diminishing, plagued by sorrow I struggle to dust away.
Confused and lost, I kneel alongside you.
Tear-streaked I stay but you gradually pull away.
Devastated by pain my body fights for the will.
Searching for a reason that’ll never be fulfilled.
You buried them so deep inside, to never show.
So full of mixed emotions, I scream with rage “WHY!”
I place a rose upon your grave, as it begins to rain.

You may be gone but you’ll never fade.

In My Dreams!

I see Him In My Dreams
Only Then He Comes To Me
But Their Only Just Dreams
Dreams I Wish To Be

Just Once To Wake Up And See
See You There Standing Over Me
Yet That Will Never Be
For They Are Only Dreams

Just Dreams, What Do They Mean
I Wake In Tears Of Pain
The Lonely Pain That Drains
Yet It's Only...Only Just A Dream

Just Dreams I Want To Be
But Never Will For They Will Always Be
Nothing, No Meaning, Only Just Dreams
Dreams I Only Wish For
That's All, Nothing More

Only In My Dreams
That's When You'll Come To Me.

Your arms around me holding me tight,
now im positive everything is going to be alright.

You lightly kiss my cheek,
words at this point are to much to speak.

As You Gaze in my eyes,
i feel my heartbeat start to rise!

You place your hand on mine,
and then ask me where have i been all this time?

I think in my head, is this what i want?
As you lie there and wait for my response.

i then look to you and say...
theres been so many nights ive dreamed of this Day!

Your eyes brighten and your Smile grows,
and then u lean in and kiss me on my nose.

Gilgar · 04-29-2006, 05:07 PM

Soul to soul we match just right.
Beautiful girl, full of life and light.
Heart of passion, a lady of grace.
Smile framed by long dark curls.
Holding tight to my sweet Ginny.
The sunset framed a perfect ending.

You guys had to do this now, my comp is down and I'm not at home so I can't pick my best work. But of the two I have here people like this one best so. Here's my entry.

Everyone else has done a damn good job too. Nice turnout.

I THOUGHT OF HIM

As I went about my day, I thought of him...

I got up from the couch, And noticed he left something on the chair, I picked it up, and hugged it to me, And I smiled.

I closed my eyes, thinking how happy he makes me, how my life has become so complete Since he has come in it.

That no matter how much of a bad day I am having, to see him, makes it disappear.

When I try to hide my tears if those bad days are overwhelming, he always knows, and hugs them away.

He is so thoughtful, so caring. He loves me unconditionally, as I love him.

I hear the door open, I turn to look down the hall and he is there with the biggest smile, he runs to me to tell me how much he has missed me, and kisses me in the middle of saying "I love you as big as the sky".

I hug him as if he has been gone forever instead of 7 hours. Then he says "Momma, You don't even have to tell me, I already know. You love me as Big as the sky too, I can tell by the way you hugged me."

Dutchie · 05-01-2006, 12:24 PM

sorry it took me a while, as I wanted to write a new one for teh competition and it's a bit long, because once I started writing I had so much I wnated to put in
hope y' all like:

What is it like for you?

when you hit me
when you push me down
When you turn my innocent smile
into a painfully depressed frown
How does it feel for you?

Do you feel powerfull
hitting me again and again
Does it make you feel good about yourself
when you see me in pain?
Does it make you happy?

What does it do to you
when you see how the kid's fears
of you hurting me
are refelected in my tears
Does it ever make you feel bad?

What is it like for me?
I am hurt, ashamed, scared
I wish I could see
What I did so wrong to deserve
the things that you do to me

I lost my dignity and my pride
I am no longer alive inside
Most of all I fear for my kids
Cause they see the things you did

How will they be affected by you?
Will they grow up to be violent too?
This thought keeps me awake at night
And that thought makes me wanna leave you
when we had another fight.

But somehow I just can't get it done
I am afraid to raise the kids all alone
So I suck it up and I stay
Because I don't want to take their daddy away

But more and more I feel inside
That an important part of me died
I hope you one day can see
how you killed a part of me
maybe then you can explain me:
What is it like for you?

crotch crickets gone wild · 05-02-2006, 03:15 PM

Try

People don’t care about you so why even try!

Sometimes you don’t even care and would rather die!

So why not give it a try!!

But then someone comes into your life!

In a second they are gone and your standing there holding the knife!

So why not give it a try!!

The day grows long and cold, the months seem so long!

The liquor on your breath told them why you are now gone!

They don’t know what happened in your life!

But why, you should have at least tried!!!!

kk theres my poem hope yall like it!!
