I want to see some of your poetry! Hell, make it up now, if you wish... but poetry is always a good outlet for thoughts and ideas and is asthetically pleasing with it's pretty rhymes and patterns. Unless you want to write freeform... and that's fine, too!

I want to start with a poem I wrote a long time ago, and later turned into a miserable song... , but touches on some things that are very dear to me.

Delicate

Delicate! Understated!
Everything's so complicated.
Breaking glass. Shredding skin.
Marching to my death everything seems pretty grim.
All alone... with myself...
As I'm standing on the pinacle of my health.
I go, where I am... wherever you find me that is where I've been.

Don't know, if it's a part of me. Picked at the scab now the wound is bleeding.
Death comes... Anytime! Anyplace! And... all... I can do is wait!

Life is so delicate! Life is so delicate! (x2)

Locked out... there's something inside of me
Taking my body and taking my brain.
Nobody really cares.. but it doesn't really matter when there's nobody upstairs.
Defiled. Hollow inside. Pain is so alive I think I'm gonna cry.
I am SO AWARE that everybody dies.
I am SO AWARE that everybody dies.

Life is so delicate! Life is so delicate! (x2)

Not only is my journal a Dream Journal (and blog), but it has my poems too.

(I should probably add my "I am" poem...)

I have some poetry in my journal, if anyone wants to see, though it barely ever rhymes. I might post a poem or two here later, so this is just one of those senseless *gabs a spot* posts.

*eh, em*

No, I'm really advertising my journal and all the horrible poetry and such in it. Really! lol

As for your song:

It's thought provoking, for certain. I love the poetry about life's delicacy. always tends to make me appreciate life more.

Now...for my two cents about 'life'.

The Swimmer

My hand poised like a dancer
Reflecting the moonbeams
Slow and fluid movement
Through the silent lake.

The ripples cast from my form
Disturb the dark serenity
Like waves of heat, they radiate
Into the endless frost.

All life, interconnected
Like a shining spiderweb
Strength as delicate as air
Paradox and harmony.

Each action and each movement
related to the next
Seamless, everchanging
Stablility in movement.

Meh...all my poetry...I'll probably retrieve what I've posted in Writers at some point...I'm too lazy/tired to do it now...*yawn*

I'm going to get a copy of Korn's Greatest Hits made...provided I exist, that is.

I also have some songs in my journal...none that really relate to philosophy but I'm working on a piece or morbid disallusions so I may post that later.

Speaking of such... I urge people to please comment. It drives me nuts to think people may just read it... but they must have some thoughts on the things. It's not like I'll get mad unless they simply make fun of something. ninja

Er... anyway, please read and comment. 3nodding

Hmm... I'm digging around people's journals and seem to have a hard time finding the poems. smile And after several misses I wander off again... biggrin


Everything and Nothing


Swimming in a cloud of thought
I dropped the key that I had brought.
Always too cloud-y to see.
Everything thing surrounding me.

Stop to wonder, ponder why.
See the clouds up in the sky.
Ethereal and always changing
Tangible the seconds draining.

Spins in circles like a drunk
After thinking what I'd thunk.
Dizzy falling on the ground,
I guess it's nothing I had found.




Created just now for the beloved guild. Sorry for the horribly boring rhyming scheme.

*tosses something in as well*

I wrote this because someone signed on to MSN with the nick "You left your thoughts in darkness, and one day they'll return."

I randomly wrote this in reply, dubbing it The Kitchen Table

You left your thoughts on the kitchen table, this morning without coffee.
The papers screamed out loud, but not nearly loud enough.
You left your thoughts on the kitchen table this morning, without coffee
you left for work.
And I am left with pieces.
Of a broken heart and an unsolved puzzle on the second page.


I'm thinking though, that that's not really a fitting name at all..

Hmm...you could do something paradoxical like The Whole in Pieces or something along those lines...

Hee. That one's quite funny. Not to mention a lot better than the Kitchen table. I'll certainly take it into consideration 3nodding

Would you mind if, eventually, I decided that would be it? Wouldn't want to be caught plagiarizing, after all wink

Sado-thinker-masachist

I sit and think and wait to rot
Like meaty stew left in a pot.
Waiting for my fruit to ripen,
A mystery from which I'm frightened.

Scary thoughts escape my mind,
I never know what I might find.
Are these thoughts over my head?
Will I think them when I'm dead?

Kill that voice inside of me,
I cannot bear to hear it scream.
I torture myself very well,
and expert at my mental hell.
