Guess I'm the first member...Her I' go with a poem(sorry if my spelling's bad):

Let me fly outside mr. Blake
You know I'm The Lamb and Tiger in one
To the glister of neon particles
in crazy mid-european night

(Some said that in july nights
the moon becomes sharp and furious
cuttin through sreamy clouds like a Saracen yatagan
diamond sharp and radiant
vision of insanity on the shores of hazy boredom)

I can call the trippy, piper sound of the night
into the edenic corn fields,
just with the power of the one who feed us with lust
Me-Tiger and a Lamb
and my sunny bride,devoted to tears
and drunkeness of eternal northern winds

Let me fly away, to this graet movie displayed
in the aurora borealis cinema of love
while my fingers gently touch her hair
heavenly river of warm cinnamon...
Rio Platte of sublime evenings
whene or minds leave
for a connection with the pantheistic sky

[WoodstockChild]

Nice :)

This is mine:

The air was hazy in the peak of the night
The music spoke to our restless minds
Reckless as our reckless time
Ain't it good to be alive?
Let it be, we were falling up
Never ever coming down
Music is fire; we let it burn
Thought the wheeels of time would never turn
And we knew it would last forever.
Said "the dawn is breaking, but we're still here
Living out our greatest years."
The truth was soon to take it's toll
I guess we'd been dreaming all along
And a dream can't last forever

Sweet Woodstock...

here's one I wrote last year, I don't think it's near my best but it's one of the two I have typed already and I don't feel like typing I've written in my notebook right now.

Everyone has died and I am left alone
They’ve all become an end to what was truth
The morning calls them at a over bearing fake moon
They have demised their own fate and replaced with a fake hanging death

Will they ever come back?
Most likely
But by then it will be to late
They would have relised their wrong
But can do nothing about what they’ve lost

Awake and bask

[WoodstockChild]

I like it. It was good.

To Axl Rose:
"Darling, why are you so sad?
It's over now; that wasn't so bad."
She used to tell you
A long time ago
When there was nothing else to say
And your world was growing cold.
"Darling, sorry if he made you cry.
Tomorrow will be better; just try to close your eyes."
She used to tell you
She knew it was a lie
When she saw your whole world crumble
From the corner of her eye.
Hold on
Don't give up the fight.
Hold on
'Cause it's going to be alright.
There'll be love soemday.

[joo kyle]

here's the other one on my computer...still not my best but I can post it and still be lazy,

I’ve killed before
Rented a false sense and went wild
Created a jewel
But the jewel is to be broken at dawn

Leaving the net at the morning
Striking threw the moon with a power that is unwilling
Once more it comes to this
And again the dream is lost
And the one rembered has become silent

[WoodstockChild]

If only we could love
We wouldn't need to fight
To prove we're right
We would have peace.
If only we could love
There'd be no need for violence
And on one would be silenced
The bombs would cease.
But we're drenched in so much hate
The blood we're spilling shows our fate
Why can't we learn to love?

[joo kyle]

I found one more

Remember those days where we’d laugh and we’d sing
We’d play in the yard
And for that moment we all free?

The they’d call us in and tell us what to do
What to eat and tie our shoes

We’d never fight back
Were scared and in fear
But we went on
Because we all had our dreams running out from our heads threw our hair

Then we’d go to the building where we had fun
And dreamed and dreamed about going to the next one

Highschool was cool
We thought we would rule
Until we saw it sucked
As our minds were getting fucked

Then we once we got out we wish we could do it again
Scared of the world they they instilled in our heads

They fucked us all
And some of us knew all long
While the others they played their games and studied for their grades
The rest of us wanted more

We will not know what happens here but the bullshit they told us to want we know fear
Scared of it all
We would’ve never guessed as we ran threw those halls

[WoodstockChild]

Damn that rocked.

To Jerry Garcia:

As we watch you dig your grave
We can't help but wonder
If you'll ever be the same.
As you fall to far to save
We can't help but wonder
If you've forgotten your own name.
Lay down here and rest.
We only want what's best.
And please remember...
We love you nonetheless.

[Pinball Wizard]

Good Job^
Running through the hazy field
Fog is dancing all around
The glazed moon is starring down
Freedom is the night
Give into the temptation
Join the night

[teh-horace]

and now the sort of recent one. i kind of forgot i had written it (haven't looked in my notebook in a while :eek: ). anyways, it's another one i'm pleased with...


A heavenly wind blows
Over me
It carries with it an
Elegance
Of course it breathes
Like the fire
For it is rapid
And tender

[WoodstockChild]

Cool :)

To Axl Rose:

Child without a name
I know you're not the one to blame
Your spirit bears no shame.
I can see into your eyes
And baby, I don't see no lies
Only desperate cries.
Did they seal your heart
Without a reason why?
Still your soul
Trade your life for lies?
When there's nowhere to go
You're not alone.
When there's no one to hold
You're not alone.
I've been there before
You're not alone.

[WoodstockChild]

Thanks :)

Lets see...

They say I'm crazy
'Cause I wanna rock 'n roll.
Don't say I'm crazy
'Cause I like it and it never gets old.
When there's nothing to do
And nothing to loose
Get stoned!

Hehe I dunno.

[rainbow warrior]

Hey!
You gentle,peacock-like wilderness
i only wish to unfold before your bottlecaps eyes
smiling,willingly and beautifull,without purpose at all

Once we shall be old and forgotten,
dying rock'n'roll angels carried with the stream of vodka
away into the whispering,holy night
(out of sight)
(out of sigh?)
Out on tha bona fide fields of the meadow
that the wise ones call
the wilderness

[rainbow warrior]

Damn!Nobody is posting there anymore...Come on people!Maybe this wil shake you up

She is looking for a man with
January-hands...Equaly enbracing her from both her sides
A man with reflective heart in which she can see herself...
Heart in which she fixes her make-up and hair...
A water-surface,tender and weak heart of mine

She is looking for a fool...
The ragged rebel, cowboy to happy to grow old...
And to sad to stay young...
A man who changes from a.m. to p.m.
The angel...sainted cold handed cryng rag-doll
for her to play with...
She is waiting for me...

[hippie_chick666]

Dancing round the fire
Singing the old tunes
Enjoying a Blue Moon or two
Skipping between the pillars
Everyone join in!
There's plenty of room for you.
Just let your inhibitions go,
at least for this one magical night,
Under the blissful starry sky.
Pass the bowl around,
and enjoy our festivities.

Peace and love

[Jack Maundrell]

chuck a belly here we go...

the world awaits for something
what it is we don't know
but we hope it will be swell
for fear of going to hell

then as it comes we hide like sheep
making no peep scared out of our minds
holding each other
fighting each other
loving each other
killing each other
while the it has left without our knowledge

finally we submerge into the light
claiming all that we see
untill the day when it comes
and cycle begins again

[hippie_chick666]

My beautiful muse stares into my eyes
Putting me into a trance
We lie in silence, enjoying each other's company
Holding each other in our arms.

The moon bathes us in light
beneath the starry sky
and a deep black abyss.
Meteriotes fly over our heads.

The beauty of the night cannot be described with mere words,
lying beneath the willow tree by the pond.
The rainbow bass leap out of the water,
shining in the silver moonlight.

This is our life together.

Peace and Love

I used to like hippy's......
I used to believe in things
its all dust now

ripped tye dye, and were running low on flower power
were out of lsd but the heroin is still good
its just a needle, just one more needle.

lifes a garden dig it
but plants grow brown and then die.
youll all die and I'll laugh

Ill laugh at all the lemmings running to the sea saying "this is it, one more hit to peace"
I dont care if you like it or not but its the truth. most are burntout the others are dead

and there not laughing.

[rainbow warrior]

Riding...
Clutching the rifle in your hand
you can, shot if you want
I don't care...
Running...
I ain't been running while i got my pills
You can hit me...
Blast my fuckin' brain out if I care...
Sawn-off...
Your mind is sawn-off with that macho violence...
Kill me...
I

[rainbow warrior]

Riding...
Clutching rifle in right hand...
You can shoot me...
I'll be only waiting there
Running...
I ain't be runnin' 'cos i got my pills
You can kill me...
Blast my brains out if i care...

Take it...
Take your fuckin' macho violence.
I' ll be on the hippie highwayman...
Robbing people souls...
With flowers holsterd on my belt...
Just take your starbedge bro' take it somewhere else...
The prairie is to small...
For peace and authority.

[Mr. Mojo Risin']

Do you have a cigarette to spare?
thank you so much, it's nice if people share.
i'm broke, my book got trashed,
it's all i had, my life has crashed.
these are the only clothes i have,
and they are borrowed from my dad.
maybe i'll be famous after i die.
my book will become succesful and the critics will cry.
if that's gonna happen, that'll be the day,
but what kind of a title is "On the road" anyway? http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif

Uprising elevator blues

Hell, I really dont get it baby
Where is the point in movin'towards rhe sky...
I just wanna stay with you baby...
Drawing paravans of flowers before our eyes...

It could be so wild and beautifull...
Good old Cassady dream
if we are to be together
floating on same stream...

There's no point in te rising...
I told to the preacher-man
I'm not the smoke at gallows-head
I' m not the superscribed number ten

We aren't no uprising elevators
We ain't no sunlight birds of greece
All we want is pockets full of love
And lips soaked in peace...

[cosmic-grooviness]

hey, this is a new poem is wrote, please add constructive criticism, tell me what i've done wrong and so on. (sorry if there are any spelling mistakes)

Envy
The bitter pill, a hatred from the soul
A hatred pure and a hatred cold.
One moment you stand ten feet tall
The next you stumble and take a fall.
Your envy brings you crashing down
Your name now forgotten in the mists of time.
Alone now you stand, confuzed, in a daze
Destroyed by the hatred in that envious haze

[hippie_chick666]

I walked along the midnight path
one summer's eve, alone.
I grappled at my thoughts at hand,
the question is the answers.
But what is the question?
I don't know that answer.

My life seems so meaningless,
so pointless, so hopeless.
I don't know what to do.
The neon bugs light up the sky,
along with the diamond stars.

What is the point of life,
if not to live it?
Ignore all these meaningless
commercial, materialistic bullshit
that we fill our short lives full of.

Peace and love

[hippie_chick666]

I wandered across a moon lit beach.
Silver and black waves were
crashing upon the shore.
The moon and stars were so bright,
the palm trees casted shadows.
I was free.

Peace and love

Im feeling that :)

to all us drones under mother sun
with no diversity we think as one
propaganda controls us down down to the letter
yet we do not fight it for we know no better

Supercilious, superstitious;
Black cat caravan gone winding down
a flip in the road of the tail of the
Tiger, orange and indigo, she
Trips over corners of the carpet,
Red and winding

[Leesah]

The Pain in my head,
Drives me to distraction
Better off dead
Then without your attraction

Follow, please follow, please
Lets be free.
Run away, run away, run away,
With me.

The whites of your eyes
Shine with reflection
If we were both to die
would it break the connection?

Let me lead, led me lead,
I wanna go first
Take my hand take my hand
Suicide curse
