Writing The Poems What I Wrote

[ColourDeaf]

Exactly what it says on the can...two of them this time.

[B]Absent Thyself[/B]

Tune reminds me of my first E
Still back then, still happy, still free
Still chilled in my paranoia
Still floating with zero G?s
Totally sci-fi
The force is with me
People pushing into my shoulders
All moving with the same beat
Same rhythm
Lose the anomalies
We?re all riding the same wavelength
One free flowing happy family
All smiling
All singing
All free
Losing yourself in the music
Taking the time to listen to the heart
Of the others whizzing on Charlie
Feel the rumble under your feet
Pounding like the dance of deities
It?s truly biblical
So many epiphanies
Know thyself
Heal thyself
Absent thyself
So little memory
Talk flak to guys you don?t know
What?s your poison?
Where you from?
What?s your story?
It?s alright to know
We?re all family
Joined by our blood
Pounding with the same chemical cocktails
Closer than fathers
Sons
And Holy Ghosts
Amen
Blind yourself with theology
Mainstream the philosophy
We?re the final frontier
The toxic generation
Masters of escapism
The newest crop of Houdini?s
Dropping the bomb in
A flower power revolution
Each acid hit
The tiniest tear in the sea
Dealt by the self-proclaimed messiahs
Relative murderers
Taking the hit with us
Preaching the word like Ghandi
Modern alchemists
Urban shamans and sorcerers
Husbandry of chemicals
Finding the perfect pedigree
God bless you
Safe as ****
All kushty
What was I saying?
Words slur
Heart purrs
Things get blurry
Time to pull a Bermuda
I?m with friends
See you in the club
Damn skippy
World crashes back around me
Back to lazy Mondays
Cramped apartments
Pear shaped reality
Still drab concrete
Still dead beats
Still synthetic inspiration
Cloned similarity
And forced harmonies
Still back here
Still on my morning break
Still drawing on my ciggy
Still free.

[B]Forever Broke.[/B]

Take your time
No rush, you know you can?t
Life's to short
But longer than we want
Lounge around
Nobody's here
Nobody would want to know if you did
Nobody would care
Take it slow
slower than you think
The Boat's going down
Too tired to swim
Just let it all go
And sink
Take your time with doing nothing
Make sure it's done right
Do it slow
Repeat it, so you might
Look back and say
"Easy enough, no trouble"
And just stare,
Floating in your hazy bubble.
Be shallow,
Be selfish,
Be deep sometimes
Take a moment
Think of Einstein
And Sun Tzu
And how beautiful your girlfriend is
Me, I'll just be forever broke
Sitting in a personal Bohemian Rhapsody
Playing a slow guitar
Contrast to my life in the city
I want to stay, know I cant
Life's too long
But shorter than I want
It's time to go.


Comments? Critiques?

This is really good stuff. It sounds more like rap than actual poetry, though I guess that there is a thin line between the two. I really like the way this flows, like one fast monalogue. I especially like the biblical references in the first one to indicate the rapture of drugs.

Again, very nice.

[color=orange][size=2][font=times new roman]Wow. I like poems, and I write some, but these are nice. Very long, so I probably skipped half(^_^;) but nice nonetheless. When reading them, I instantly put them to a tune. I would definatley make these into songs. Bravo! Also, what she said.
