    since this is a new trend i thought i'd take all my poems and put them on one thread


    just missed it so close yet so far
    always one step back
    trailing behind to cover the rear

    i'm out of range now
    far enough to know
    what lies ahead


    can't fix the past
    the future unknown
    Alone, being pulled along by the current of life
    with no help to catch up

    out of reach
    by my finger tips
    I just missed it


    ? deep thoughts, shallow figures
    individualism, capitalism
    scientology, roman philosophy
    black, white
    left right
    red state, blue state
    socialism, fascism
    ring tones, ipod
    adam & eve, adam & steve
    PC, CPT
    R.E.S.P.E.C.T
    Mcdonalds, obesity
    technology, Amish lifestyles
    I hate it all, it's just not for me


    untitled circlular thought
    what is it? why does it
    get me knowhere.
    starting in the brain
    swirling around
    repeating it's self without control
    halfs divided into 2 to check each other
    always in conflic never resolve
    is it half full or half empty
    we say both




    the female I wonder my mind wanders away dreaming of her
    that female I used to know
    I see her through the glass screen
    wondering if we could ever be
    together or no
    we used to laugh about objects full of death
    and meaning
    still she laughs while I leave
    behind to journey
    moving onward toward destruction and
    eventually recreation to find another
    but nothing compares to the female I wonder

    Nothing <--- name) Dark void filling with pain
    over the brain, weeping down my face
    sliding it off onto my battered ego
    hurting with every touch
    every sense it seems to much
    to bare witness against myself
    Lying on the floor stunned in shock
    as my mind wanders feelings not
    numb beyond repair, wallowing in despair
    nothing left in me I let go
    to the world unknown.


    The great Journey The great journey lies ahead
    farther than anyone could grasp
    Beyond Time, Beyond space
    Beyond, love, Beyond disgrace
    Where does it end
    When does it end
    why does it end
    Who ends it
    What is the end
    will it come as a friend or foe
    is it going to be High or low
    so many questions to be thought
    and each one has it own


    Dream of Death Riding in a car talking to a friend
    the road ahead has a bend
    in it that leads to nowhere
    I stop for some gas
    when I comeback I backup
    not able to stop alas
    falling off a cliff
    I turn to her and laugh
    I say I love you
    She loves me
    looking back toward my dying
    there lies two gravestones
    each with death standing by
    I close my eyes and awake a new
    lifting up the cliff I see a river
    in the distance giving me hope for a few
    turning my head forward
    almost into the light
    seeing her losing sight
    I wake up.


    story of life the story of my life
    born out of death
    blessed by god
    rejected as an equal
    heard without knowledge
    lost in heart ache
    found by aquintences
    remembered out of guilt
    left alone ... forgotten




    heres a link to a story line that I made from some of these

    we'll see sitting there but nowhere in sight
    invisible to the world around
    we'll see, we'll see he says
    coming and going within a blink
    assuring his sons he'll be back
    we'll see, we'll see he says
    I ponder what might be
    hoping in anticipation by the door
    we'll see, we'll see he says
    grown out into the world
    he asks if I'm to busy
    we'll see, we'll see


    tree of light moving through this path of smoke
    over the mounds of fungi
    around the heiron valley
    south of the caicon Mountains
    just shy of Lake ShomaDa
    lies a plain of green
    luscious fields of gold and purple
    with a crisp aroma coming from the center
    there lies a tree, the greatest tree of all
    the tree of light
    as high as the stars
    an inscription sits at the base saying
    welcome my children, enter without care
    and you shall know the greatest
    feeling one can bare.


    Night Souls Here we are again
    drenched by the rain
    drenched in each other
    Our souls bound to each other
    by the moonlight's vast radiance
    we dance like wild naked children
    only living for one not there own
    as dawn breaks so does the lasting
    of there existence until the next lunar
    presents it's self over the hill
    and with it comes the hope
    of a new night that will last forever


    me,me,me! They say silence is golden
    ignorance is bliss
    but what about my damn poem
    no one gives a shit.
    I'm selfish, I'm greedy, I just don't really care
    I wanna take all these other poems outta here
    Why read other poems
    their not as good
    not as good as mine
    you should see the shit I write
    most don't even rhyme
    getting tired of bullshit
    day to day you see
    it's the only way to let it out
    hey come look at me.

    Americas independence day children playing outside on the front grass
    dads cooking burgers galore
    moms making the tuna salad and baked beans
    the friends all show their smiling faces
    grandpa plays an acoustic guitar
    fun, laughter, happiness surrounds the house
    at night firecrackers light the backyard
    looking up to the sky giant rockets explode
    wishing you all a good 4th of july


    the path As I awake from my slumber
    looking around for assurance.
    Opening my door to breath the morning air.
    Strolling down the road out of town
    a sign to the left saying "the path to light."
    How could I resist such a obscure quote?
    Widening my eyes seeing nothing ahead.
    A breeze of mist fills the air that settles on the path
    telling me to carry on with the great journey.


    Coming home And she saids "Look to the west. Your home."
    As I turn a flash of light bends around a boulder
    piercing my eyes, blinding me, passing over me.
    Her arms draped around me in a loving embrace.
    In the distance, smoke flows down the path
    this plain of green, gold and purple fills my eyes.
    Kneeling down looking at a small growing plant
    I say to her "I am home."


    Decisions, Decisions People moving on, i'm left behind.
    Wondering should I go or stay.
    Should I be scared or should I be brave?
    in a world it seems to pick sides,
    all I want to do is just get high.
    whats wrong with me or is it the world?
    hard to know what to do,
    perception is truth or is it a lie?
    being lost is one of the worst feelings,
    until you die.


    2 minds Jack the revolutionary
    always fighting the good fight

    Dave the pacifist
    saying this injustice aint right

    Jack's heart filled with rage
    that can not be contained

    Dave's mind lost in a daze
    wondering who will save the day

    Jack and Dave two sides from the same
    mind who will win and who will cry

    truth the killer Viscously waiting, the truth lyes crouching.
    Waiting to pounce out of the night
    attacking it's prey devouring its victims life.
    Paralyzed by fear of what to come.
    Walking away unscathed hunting for more.


    no title just something wrote on a whim love absent from the aching heart

    feelings of amputation wounds the soul
    cut off from the world left in isolation

    crying lakes of burning eyes

    painfull seclusion haunts in the mind

    self loathing greets us at the door
    A plethora of rage laughing joyfully


    friend zone wall of friendship blocks my heart
    smiles and hugs replace kisses and love
    wanting selfishly to cross this field
    clueless to the world that surrounds her
    oblivious freezing pain from her cold lack of touch
    imagining her in my arms sleeping
    hoping we may be together


    America the free America the free
    thats what we used to be.
    America the free
    why can't we just see.
    America the free
    this fascist regime threatening me.


    America the true
    Always watching over you.
    America the true
    blood red, white and blue.
    America the true
    oh whats happened to you.


    America the brave
    soldiers names that die in vein.
    America the brave
    our lives caught in a daze.
    America the brave
    is there any left for us to save?


    America the free how I miss thee

    deserted This place I want to be
    is the place I cannot reach.
    Fumbling through the heat
    over this endless beach.
    I can't go on
    wondering if I'm going to survive
    these rays of death feeling least alive.
    Seeing a mirage of water past the dunes,
    hallucinations foresee my doom.
    Soon I will cease to be,
    vultures hovering over me,
    falling to my knees,
    breathing heavily,
    giving up ever so slowly.
    Last word spoken "help ..."


    pick a title shears of tarred glass raining

    gilbert godfrey plays the trumpet on TV
    light flashes past my eye
    humble pie like grandma used to bake

    conscious trees sigh at the night sky

    loving dogs roam the hills, starving.
    An ancient dried up lake wanting to drink

    today, yesterday, tommorow forever
    gone, gone wild, gone buck wild

    waving goodbye beneath us



    up north this sublime crystallized lake shimmers its reflection
    penetrating deep within my soul
    A barrage of colours scours the sky
    creating a painting that seems universally unbound
    enhanced by the trees that glide through the wind
    unchanging froze in time that stands statuesque
    the smell of brisk rain off in the distance
    fills my nose with an overwhelming sense of meaning
    peace and tranquility blanket the land
    such a majestic place this is


    the fight for freedom A soldiers march rumbles through the street
    as young men and women shout for peace
    true believers front the lines on both sides
    tearfully hurling gas is flown into the nights eye
    screaming of pain and rage uncontrolled
    chaos ensues the fight for freedom ever so bold
    morning dawn streaks over the sky
    signs that read and uniforms that lie
    road filled with blood and tears
    massive coverage thats seen for years.


    you pick flash of light blinds us all
    a wave of fluid fills the streets
    throwing us like rag dolls
    megalithic rocks pass our sky
    hurtling over our heads on high
    Artificial life, our own creation
    massive disappearances from the word
    try and imagine your decapitation
    does this sound so absurd
    Tiny microorganisms run through our blood
    counting the bodies in the mud
    total calamity, total destruction
    whether from American or Russian
    will we ever survive
    only time will tell

    Lake ShomaDa Ancient ruins of a megalithic civilization
    shrouded in mystery, gone without a trace
    Hidden beyond the trees, past the plain of green
    there lies Lake ShomaDa
    multicolored layers burrowing meters down
    sounds of hopeful children laughing
    hovering sky filed with nonsense.
    At the bottom lies a body of a snake with
    one red eye and one green eye dead.


    the Caicone mountains Cold, desolate white mounds covering the hillside.
    Layers upon layers that pile and cut the landscape in lines.
    This brilliance and scale made purely to ingest this odorless smell,
    blinding by the light that reflects off Lake ShomaDa.
    Climbers sit atop shivering, looking across.
    Montana to the north,
    young Georgia to the south,
    the sun rising from the east,
    and stars to the west.
    Oldest of the terrain still wise in his years,
    remembering centuries past and seeing futures unload.


    HollyWeenY Pumpkins light up the cautious sky on hollows eve
    while mad children roam the the vast city.
    The color of death rains from the trees above.
    Evil murks under shadows without love.
    Parading covered masks hiding fear,
    sugar laced calories consume our dear.
    dogs howl under a full moon so bright
    we give thanks to these night of nights


    needing creativity A generation of followers roaming the hillside
    thinking out loud, unimaginative.
    Blank stares that haunts like stone.
    We remember laughs and dreams of past,
    unwilling to face the corruption future.
    Denying leaders creative outlets
    routine, routine, routine, routine.
    Materialism buying imperialism forcing restraint.
    Zombie like repetition over and over.
    Preparation for death with a meaningless life.



    my friend Fall That familiar breeze flows from the north
    bringing with it a mass of coloured leaves.
    Summers end brings celebration of thanks
    and treats for children.
    A friend seen once a year from birth
    remnants of my innocents and youth.


    Eerie A shadowy figure lurks behind the blue streets
    prowling the allies in search from it's hunger
    it's distorted face, arched spine and crooked fingers
    shiveres even the most death experienced spines
    children nightmares of it scar them for life
    to call it evil would be too vague
    echoes in the night the screams of men can be heard
    sounds that resinate through your soul
    thoughts of maddness fill your mind when it's around
    sliding out of the shadows reaching out toward me
    looking face to face with it's unreal posture
    confronting this entity I stood my ground unafraid
    A voice of a thousand voices speaks
    telling me to leave him, I cannot for he is my brother

    You are a fairly prolific writer. I like most of you stuff but there are a couple that sort of stand out for me. I've gone through my favourites here. And I'm always looking forward to reading more from you.

    This is great. It describes perfectly the hidden feelings some of us harbour for friends. The more they don't seem to notice, the harder the pain. Living a life in the imagination. Good writing.



    I like this a lot. It's one of yours that i haven't read before. It's quite sad and sort of touched a nerve for me. I especially like the remembered out of guilt bit. It made me think about how sometimes I only call my family cos I think I should. Quite sad really.



    This is still my favourite poem of yours. You seem to write about nature with ease. The feeling of awe and wonder that reading this left me with is amazing. 10 out of 10. Truly awe-inspiring.

    Keep posting more of your work please.
    Peace,
    A.

    smoke that flows from the silence
    helplessness dominates my last thoughts
    regretting mistakes and wrong decisions
    sobbingly uncontrolled by these raw emotions
    raising this death bringer to my skull
    rage that flows pillaring out from deep within
    taught to self restrain locked until now
    lost hoplessly alone to the world

    stuck wondering alone in my minds
    resisting insanities hold on me
    A glimpse of hell to come as a child
    caught in my dreams unannounced
    destined for failure regardless of strength
    questioning reason for logic driven by emotion
    hidden deep within this flesh casing
    exhausted thoughts that repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
    waiting in patience to fully release everything trapped

    These narrow winding and narrow minded
    passages that heed danger within old
    cracked rocks, towering overhead.
    Black stars that bend the snake layered sky hiding
    foreign enemies crouched, watching in preparation.
    Masked only by the blood of dead children
    chanting and wanting more. A mass of thousands
    following their unwavering leader. Determined
    to destroy, fueled by hate and challenged by none.

    Except for "Him" for he has no fear. Stands alone
    motionless, unwilling to submit. bowing to no man
    powerful or less. Creating flashes of blue crystallized light that slices
    the horizon past repair. Confusing his enemies while he
    decapitates their golden leader. His blade unharmed trickling.
    Stunned in awe they attack this "Him". One sweep of his hand is
    all they last see until death. Those left standing flee without limbs,
    he owns them.

    Joshland, full of josh trees and joshberries.

    Josh's praise him from all around planet josh.

    small Joshers look to the Jeavens to see his joshnificence
    while JOSH sits atop Mount Josh eyeing his Jeople.

    they goto jork, play josh games, and protect other Josh.
    It truly is a Josh of a kind. Josh

    p.s. josh is my brother and it's his ego of a world
