Today's Poem [M -- As a Precaution]


Heaven's Cloud

[color=indigo][b]vertigo[/b]

forgotten memories
haunt my dreams
a lack of recollection
divided by my screams
I see all these faces
that I no longer know
time passes quickly
yet fear fades slow
and now progressive
hopeless moons
have mirrored illusions
of impending doom.[/color]

[color=royalblue]Lie to me again,
I want you to be alone with me,
That way,
I can prove you wrong.

Hit me again,
I want you to feel my skin on yours,
That way,
I can know you truly hate me.

Call me with cruelty again,
I want you to see how small you really are,
That way,
I can see you with eyes unclouded.

Don't even hope for me to love you.[/COLOr]

[color=indigo][b]false perception[/b]

effortlessly
or so they say
is how I achieve
my aspirations
as I grasp for the peak
of every mountain

effortlessly
or so they say
is how things come
so naturally
when I seize opportunity
and make it my own

effortlessly
or so they say
is how I make
all my decisions
delicately weighing
every outcome

if it is as effortless
as they say
why am I so damn tired
at the end of the day?[/color]

[COLOr=royalblue]Ode to Valium:

They said it would hurt,
I didn't feel a damn thing,
Maybe it was the earlier pain,
Dulling this whole stupid operation.

On the gurney,
Going into a cold room,
I remember being strapped down,
Injected with something good.

Why do you ask?
Yes, I feel very happy,
You must be my doctor,
Wow you have beautiful eyes.

And that's a marvel,
Cause I'm not even wearing my glasses,
And you must be the nurse,
Wow you have lovely hair.

Although I can't see it under the hood,
Are you wearing a hood?
Am I...
Wow.....purple haze man.

Jimi Hendrix is cool,
Am I talking too much?
Did I say something stupid in my sleep?
Thanks for all your hel-he....help....yeah.[/COLOr]

[color=indigo][i]addiction[/i]

illuminated green
my fingers bleed
forming streams
that pool upon sunburst
the strings echo
a distorted opera
as my digits slide
lubricated by crimson
the song is not the same
as the one in my mind
but it is so near
and I play through the pain
and imaginary applause[/color]

[COLOR=royalblue]There is a pain that can not be medicated away,
There is a sorrow that can not be touched,
And a whimper that never will be stilled,

The sounds of agony.
The sounds of deprivation,
The sounds of an orphan child.[/COLOR]

[b][u]a fist to bleed[/b][/u]
lie naked, on the floor
lie naked, on the floor
bleed the fist to the door
bleed the fist to the door

breaths cough fingers on eyes
five gapes, a thumb to cry
open the lid, open the side
let the devil, let the doom
howl a dog to the moon
howl a dog to the moon

lie naked
on the floor
make a fist
cough a breath
bleed the fist
to the door

five fingers on eyes
flashes, flashes by
flash, five fingers
five fingers alive
five fingers alive

squirm. choke. gape.
they move. shake.
nails cold, steel pins
rusty rakes, five knives of red

creation, insignifigant hands
touch the knob with rakes flashing by
a new tint of lust. a hand of color to the eyes.

open the liquid. the door chime.
chime. chime. chime.
so soon, alive
so soon, so soon
and so soon to die
but for now--for now
alive
alive

the rakes take the leaves
grope them, catch them
the rakes take the leaves
grope them, give them hands
a mouth. an arm.
a fist to bleed
destiny
destiny

the door is open
garden to heave
garden to sleep
garden to be
destiny
just an open knob
a fist to bleed

lie naked five fingers
the garden believes
believes

sudden gropes. sudden shakes.
a breath forever leaving. darkness changing.
chaining
chaining

the door is open
a garden to heave
to sleep to be
chime. chime. chime.
years later a gun to leave

the door chime
so soon, alive
chime. chime. chime.
so soon, so sooon
and so soon to die
but for now--now
alive
alive

five fingers naked to two arms
to two legs and feet
lie naked, soon to grow
soon to be
a baby
human
a baby
being
machine to sputter
to breathe

just an open knob
a fist to bleed
the door is open
ovaries
a fist to bleed
destiny
destiny--
a naked body
machine
a naked body
a dream [/size]

o_O Nice, Mitch! I'm guessing...a birth? I'm not sure, i'm new at this poetry stuff..Raiha, all of yours are really really good...So are yours, Heaven's Cloud! Tell me what you think of mine, honestly..


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Walk this way to my broken gate
Walk this way - don't be scared
Your dreams will follow to the broken gate
Come, my teeth are not beared

Welcome, young children
Welcome, young souls
To the place where I was created
But look, right now, to your dreams, over there..
they teared....

Torn, are your dreams
They can never come back
You made the fatal mistake

Torn, are your dreams
Which you've cherished for years
Why did you ever come here?

Did you not see where you were going?
Did you not see all the hate and mourning?
Look to your side
You will see devils fly
Tearing your dreams away...

The sun, it is no more
The night is yet young
Dark will travel through your souls
Welcome it with open arms

You are in the land of love

[size=1][b][u]commas of hair[/b][/u]
pause your lips
on the comma of hair
ulcer a period there

ulcer a period there
on the eight dangles of hair
lick your tongue
and indent the tail

this indent has entrails
teeth-marked spiders that squirm
never a scorpion never a worm
a semicolon night crawler

broken stigmata to my eyes
i see a scorpion but a period cries
it salivas and tears
and ulcers a period there
crawly spiders that pause and stare
eight eyes and eight dangles of hair

and their eyes wonder if you care
smelling and wrapping your lips
the slow pressure of resist
and the pleasure of buzz

eventually the tail breaks off
leaving a sigh and a flush
the comma to a period as all touch
ending first then much

the lice infest
semicolon nightcrawlers of what
broken chains that say love
emoticons of what was
bleed ovaries for blood

the first time is the last kiss
cessations are hard to resist
and it is good
and it is right
to pause
to stop on a comma of hair
of love, of care
and to ulcer a period there

so many are eyes wide and shut
and with sigh and with a hush
so much to ulcer a period there
to watch the scorpion turn into a spider
and all it can do is stare
swelling and wrapping your lips
their eyes falling like hips
it's the dirt we always forget
but all you can do is stare
watch and wait until the exoskeleton bares

it is better to be a comma and pause
but even better a period to end

parenthesis are nice
like freezing it all in desperate ice
sad to know even when you fight
that a comma is only a crust of dust
a scorpion in a desert soon to be lost
one day to lose the tail
knowing the heart and knowing the fail

knowing the period falling on the eight commas of hair
spiders and spiders squirming in despair
ulcering a period there [/size]

People come,
People go,
People shine,
People don't.

One word is worth a thousand,
As they say,
One word can be good,
One could be bad.

A word could be,
chewed up,
spit out,
or bood of stage.

A word is it's one,
Thousands of words are there beside it,
Waiting to be said,
But never released.

[COLOr=royalblue]Tears at night,
A baby's voice screaming for comfort,
Hands descending,
Cradling and caring.

Hushed words whispering comfort,
And arms cradling the child,
Reasuring that the nightmare is over,
Laying her down gently.

A huge bed,
Warm and comfortable,
Drawing the sheets up to the chin,
And tucking in the infant.

Crying time is over,
She is now safe,
Held in the protective arms,
Of her big sister.[/COLOr]

[size=1][b][u]in medias res[/b][/u]
in medias res
sleep tired
and rest
i know your head's
tired like my chest

don't be afraid
to sleep tired
and rest
i know dreams
are best
a ball for catch
tired like my chest

when it's drained
the dishes washed clean
don't you ever dirty anything
i have nothing to dream
i know dreams
let me wash the dishes clean

in medias res
my ear says it's clear
but tired like my chest
ache later and sleep tired
rest

[b][u]lemur's about[/b][/u]
so cunning so wait the mouse
tippy-tip penny's copper house
the foutain of waiting it out
smile it like you can pout
mope the mope without
name and shouts
that's what lemurs about

elephant tusk and mammoth white
divine human isn't right
god the god that damns might
little mouses are cunning
weak and weary they fight
elephants cower at their sight

promises are ropes in the head
yank and pull you're almost dead
anchor's going to fall steely-steel instead
the open water's an ocean's sea to bed

things are only as big as you led
and small's my mouse's certain shed
wood splinters and skull's a ted
teddy-ted teddy bear's eye
kitten puree pure as mine
jacky-jack's work's as dull as a dime
ten cent's work is a dozen's fine
love you and isn't that fine

so i'll smile like you can pout
mope the mope without
lemur my hang and shout
that's what it's all about
and don't anyone doubt
that's what lemurs about

[b][u]with the window down[/b][/u]
went cruising on
with the window down
radio radioing my frown
cynic's got me smoking town

when the seat's all covered
and dirt's all brown
smile's an egg
no yolk to be found

my car's mustard
like mr.french's fry
goes good with hot dogs
bright and tasty thighs
but no one knows why
even the radio radios those sighs

when this dessert turns to mud
radio radioing my frown
i'm going to hit the accelerator down
smoke my car on down town
with my window down

you might think that's risky
with the window down
but i got to tell you
cynic's got me smirking
he's my bud and we're fine
but no one knows why

so my window's going to hang open
i hope i catch something fly
they say angels are always in the sky
cynic knows why so maybe i'll just crash and die

bent still's my cynic's mind
stop lights are like doughnuts in time
blured cream and clock's strike is wine
grape sauce all over and it's fine
eat them up while i'm driving by

i'm just waiting until a car brakes
and that angel comes to me
sky being the sky that all's free
and isn't that the way america used to be
baby sure seems

so i'm going to smoke town
my wheel's burning a burn round
cynic's on my dash
that pinion tree that freshens my head
dirt is all dirt needs to have found
so i'm going to smoke town
fall off this desert and down
cruising on
with the window down

radio'll keep radioing my frown[/size]

[color=darkblue]My place was only one block away.
I stormed in and ran upstairs.
46 floors in the upward direction;
I didn't know what I was doing.
Pressing on through 2 doors and into the hallway.
Swiping the card, slipping into the door
Dodging grabbing hands.
I closed my eyes and felt a draft.
An open window.
My eyes met two figures.
The lights were on behind them.
Two of my friends remained.
They were coming;
A leap of faith was in order for the night...[/color]

[size=1] [b][u]the coming of the nooses' hold[/b][/u]
neck and a noose
rope can catch and sing
this hangwire's my head
and roses all just stand and be

roses red and they hold arms
while i stand showered in the calm
red roses like ashes ashes
ashes we all fall down
and the roses are only red but they hold arms
machines breathe onlyto be

hangwire's a noose
only amachine and metal
organic's only settle
to those hills there is metal
gold gold andkettle

as we wear our water on our hill
hangwire's got hands to brush
tobrush away the machines' noose

as we erode our skin to bone
posies have the roses to hold
red like love in akiss
drink the glass anddrink

ashes of ashesand ashes hold
but still theroses have hands

Death is a word to me.
No feelings. No pain.
Without feelings there's no pain.
Without pain there's no death.

But i have a lot to do with death.
I can't help it it's in my life every day of my life.
Peaple just die in my life. I dont make much freands no more because they die in the end.

I'm tired of peaple dieing like a game of chance.
If i hade the power i would stop all this if i could but i can't.
When some one die's i cry when i fill.
But all thouse fillings are all gone now.

I wish i could feel agin but i went num and my heart is cold.
But whut can i say i can't really say anything about the madder.

except i'm scared.

[size=1][b][u]mirrors and eyes[/b][/u]
mirror loves a crack
even so the sun smiles
so the see of the break of day
and all those eyes
gaze away

why it's cold
when it's warm
the sun smiles up in sky
even he doesn't know why
says might be moon
all shoving his face too soon

mirror loves a face
even faceless has a home
then so the moon smirks
so the drop of the smile
as the smile's gone up in sky
and all those eyes
shut to never never land
gazing away in the night

some hold the mirror
in the dark of stars
ask why it's so far
when it's so close
and gazing away but in
moon says a smirk
waves down to sun
telling a mirror isn't same some

moon shadows across land
big light in sky
and goes tired to sleep

with a wink
moon drifts off
the smirk
asleep
and off the see
of the break of day
the sun smiles
and all the mirrors
and all those eyes
gaze away [/size]

[color=royalblue]For the Lady.

I never could understand life,
Nor its incredible brevity.
You and I,
Have barely met,
And it doesn't seem right to let go of your hands now.

But time is the enemy,
Presing on,
You and I,
Are now apart,
And it will never be the same again.

Now I remember one thing,
Going forwards,
You and I,
Together some day,
Meeting on the other side.[/color]

[size=1]You listened when I whispered
The source of all my dreams.
And wrapped your arms around me
And told me of your swing.

"It was red" You told me
"With a wooden seat."
"And it took me higher
That I ever wanted to be."

I listened to your tales
With wonder and with awe.
Each retelling told
That I needed you much more.

But now you've left lonely.
And I see the mess I've made.
I'm drowning in mistakes
I'm drowning in Jade.[/size]

All that glitters
Even the stars
All things precious
Even your life
The King of Bandits
Can take it all
In the blink of an eye

I didn't really make up that poem but it's from one of my favorite manga. It's called Jing the King Of Bandits.

[COLOR=royalblue]As if I could reach the rainbows,
Is the way I know you're here,
With me,
But just out of my hands.

Your presence is blinding,
And your love drips off my lips,
Without you,
I would cry a thousand tears.

Always coming back to the same hurt,
But soothing it over,
Scar forming,
Over the place where our hearts once beat together.

It's like I'm wandering with a flickering light,
Just waiting for you,
To come,
And put my hands on the rainbows.[/COLOR]

Life is what you make of it,
You live your life your on way,
Nobody can choose your life,
You have your own say.

Be who you want to be,
Don't be what your friend want you to,
They can't make you,
It's your life too.
________________________________

A weeping rain,
A thousand tears,
Heard from far away,
Come, Come to save me.

If I am scared,
Will you be there,
If I was near death,
Would you comfort me.

If I had no one to cry to,
Could I cry to you,
Could I go to you,
Could I go to you for advice.

Save me I'm scared,
Help me I'm dying,
Give me good advice,
Comfort me, I'm crying.

[COLOR=royalblue]Receiving from you,
Hands open wide,
Like a bird,
Fed by mother.

Your voice flutters,
And mine calls,
Something given here,
Tonight is mine.

You don't ask,
But I thank,
And my eyes,
Look into yours.

Then you know,
That I know,
Receiving from you,
Is kindness itself.[/COLOR]

[size=1][b][u]a pillow and a bed[/b][/u]
i'm putting myself
to sleep every night
and if i catch you
coming home my way
a pillow and a bed

what a drag
count the sheep
watch them jump
the fence from my eyes
says leave it alone

the blood on my arms
tear says find a home
shut it
and go

that ain't what
i want to do
some sleep's dark
some dream's numb
like swamp

bubbles and murk
swampy swamp's scary
that ain't my place
ain't my place
so shut it
and go
leave it alone

i don't want to sleep
so i put my eyes wide shut
and my lips touched

i don't want to sleep
so i put my eyes wide shut
and my lips touched

eventually
in the dark damp night
swampy swamp's right
and eyes are wide shut

my mind's head lice
crawling and spiders
how nice

eventually
in the dark damp night
swampy swamp's right
but that ain't my place
yet that's the stay
and my head's afraid
to ask why

i'm putting myself
to sleep every night
and if i catch you
coming back my way
a pillow and a bed[/size]

Can you expain life for me,
To me right now It's nothing to be,
Although I guess my self pity is getting to you,
Your yelling and losing your mind.

I guess I should shut up,
Just don't yell,
I'm a good boy, that drownes in self pity,
You make me so mad, I feel dead.

But If you will listen,
Just once,
For the last time,
What is the meaning of life?
