Between days

Published on Feb 8 2010 at 3:19 CST
Written by tijean

Going between the hills
and the early night
and the pockets of sky glitter
allowed by tomorrows rain,
are a million wishes, held up high
to catch the last glint
of the long, low light
that fails between days.

The lucky wishes are those that shine
with turn of phrase - then, packed
for transit
into gold and leather purses
are sent to ride on the broad backs
of skyhorses -
immaculate and white, with
deep steamy lungs and faraway wings,
our hopes and dreams each night
are set loose thus.

Going...

we missed each other

Published on Feb 7 2010 at 18:33 CST
Written by trysca

This afternoon

Your magpie feather touched my shoulder
Your soft harsh vowels whispered behind my ear

And I caught your stern cheekbones rising under my pale skin,
silencing me before I could ask

Long fingers in my deep black pockets
Earth of fresh grave under nail

You left a papery bag of clotted love
You’d brung it home for sister’s

I smell on your jacket
Hot tobacco smoke in rasping lungs

Long spine twisted still
From that quickdropped headstone

In water...

superhuman

Published on Feb 4 2010 at 1:51 CST
Written by Alfredo

I am human thou superhuman in
Mind with powers defliting bulits
An flying across the sky, superheros
Evil villens jus 2 stop the crooks
If cartoons were real life would be
A comic book, but its jus one of those
Fantasys becomin more likely wet dreams
Now my bed's wet comin from atlantis
Fighting crime with aucaman, that's
Adventure of in imagination, can you
Vision somethin real like that, so
When a hero comes its not illusion,
Cause if I live and saved a life you'll
Know I'm superhuman.

Written by Stef (st33fbaby)

Alone, I travel by night,
The moon guides the way,
As I stumble into this forest,
My path intensifies, I wander astray

Globes of yellow, hiding beneath the brush,
Behind greens of hunger and browns of rage,
Creeping up closer, predators and prey,
Outnumbered, yet no fear perceived

Sense awakening, I close my eyes,
Feel the tropical air moisturize my skin,
I let it in, I let it in, I let it in

Here, I am predator. I know the way
of the Kingdom. Yet through the eyes of
dominance and higharchy, I'm seen as prey

The Great Star Traveller

Published on Jan 31 2010 at 17:38 CST
Written by These Watery Eyes (Gnashville)

You took off from the earth, a beautiful silhouette
And I followed
Led through the greatest treasures
My most secret thoughts
And without a word I knew
And without a word
I knew

Beams across nebulas
Darting from my fingertips
And you glow so bright tonight
That I can't imagine you anywhere else but the sky
All these moments will be lost to time
But throughout time
These moments were always mine

No strangers to a motionless breeze
Bottles of dust, and on this endless flight
My only wish is that one day
I will be...

map tat

Published on Jan 29 2010 at 9:55 CST
Written by fuckeduppoet

i watched the tainted man sculpt the season
with his impatient hands and revolting reasons
primitive clay tools cave man made rules hard to follow
sick skin I'm in scared and hollow
the tattooed map
i can find my way back
and when I'm not around you'll know where I'm at
by memorizing my tat but thats alot to ask
and might take some time
so bring your watch learn to fly and refuse to stop
no matter what they tell you
tried to rebuild the floor before you fell through
but i was too late only placed two rafters
forgot your two faced try to...

Instructions

Published on Jan 28 2010 at 16:36 CST
Written by Brian Minnick (manic_inspiration)

The key to locking Satan’s door
is one pecan and cheap perfume.
But if you do, beware the cost,
for thirty years you’ll have no heart.

Find a quiet sandy road
at 3am (demonic code).
Count back from six
three times with haste,

Begin to walk
Here starts the clock.

At 3:04 a dog will bark
walk on.
At 3:13 a door will slam
walk on.
At 3:19 three crows will squawk
now stop and please extend one arm.

All three, with grace, will gravitate
to welcome your dark company.
Now concentrate for only...

The valley

Published on Jan 27 2010 at 21:02 CST
Written by Michael Granger (Sir-Writes-A-lot)

Can somebody follow me down to the valley below?
Into the great unknown
Passing the stream of water that continues to flow
Deep with in me and nature that is never shown
The sun that always shines
But clouds are in my way
While crossing bushes and vines
I wish love could for once stay
Looking into a deep river
Wondering when this day could come
As rain falls and I begin to shiver
Will the journey end with me emotionally numb?
As the stars in the sky are above me
I hear the sound of animals in the tree's
Is it possible to be at peace but...

this gray lion

Published on Jan 27 2010 at 19:57 CST
Written by fuckeduppoet

OK there's alot of ways to jump off a bridge and that's it
me I would choose the back flip so i did
hit the water feeling like a smashed arachnid
that lived a four year life without worrying
not sure what i would do for that but alot
four years without one worry
that would hurt my face
my teeth would see the outside of my mouth more
and i would probably stop using the cellar door
childhood is the answer...for some
too bad they never remember it
some of our best days tenderness and rough
depending on who you are i guess
and i am not a...

Time Machine

Published on Jan 27 2010 at 19:33 CST
Written by Alfredo

Day dreaming that's what you call it,
To me its more like a time machine
Past & future, starring deeply hard
Without a blink of an eye I'm somewhere
Else,where am I ? is anyone here no
Sound of a humans voice nor cat meows,
In this black tunnel of no where until a light
appears like a movie sene of me older and very
Happy, I question why there such joy in me and
One who's heart filled with pain in sorrow
Could die maybe tomorrow, suddenly the
Vision vanish then out me back this black
Tunnel of no where my eyes open confuse,
Lost...

ritual

Published on Jan 26 2010 at 14:45 CST
Written by nathan illig (noonenothingnone)

let me find my paradise between your legs..
let us take the psychoactive children of the cattle to our temples..
to break the barriers with bone and teeth..
let us in ritual rise through the light and shifting bio-divinity planes..
let us give and take in a ceremony of blood with the sanctum of shamans..
let us become one..
let us rise to the zion place on the backs of our sexual excesses..
through the fields of hieroglyphics and tile works of the ancients..
flashing through visions of hindu gods..
let us find our santuary..
the pieces are...

Tainted Blood from the Divine

Published on Jan 26 2010 at 14:27 CST
Written by Viktor Laurel (ViktorLaurel)

Silent,violent entity
Brought forth from alternate reality
Incantation left incomplete
It's disciples no longer think nor bleed

Spewed forth through nightshade and formaldehyde
Tainted blood from the divine
Virgin flesh and dragon's breath
Poisoned thorns crown thy head
Performed in the house of the dead

Release crashing stomps, rise the red seas
Bellowing smoke, breathing new disease
Churches burn, emerald cinders
Sun goes black, eyesight's hindered

A Dwarf, A Well

Published on Jan 22 2010 at 10:31 CST
Written by Brian Minnick (manic_inspiration)

Down a stone and stolen well
through water’s tunnels seen
again, a little man with orange hair
sits quietly and bites his nails.

He’s thinking of that princess who,
in time’s of old,
in dream’s of new,
sat staring in his beady eyes.

Her golden dress with flowers blue
and perfect ruby lips adorned.
She must have thought the well
enchanted, dwarfs in wells
no longer happen.

He offers her a little book,
she scarcely has a chance to look
before she sees her own reflection
raven hair returned.

His haunted...

Ben and I drink ourselves out of here..

Published on Jan 21 2010 at 7:45 CST
Written by tijean

Ben and I are dieing to escape
we are drinking bulleit whiskey to be free from this madness,
the madness of romance, noise and glass.
at the last frontier
we don't belong, but at last
the alcohol begins to lift us above and beyond this hell
so we bodysurf above the vomit sticky floor
and listen to the bar chatter radio tell us
that this will be the longest night

The alcohol floats us above the sea of twisted heads
and we see nothing but nuisance, violation, and love
in this heavy Friday air
while ultraviolet flashes bathe our flight...

Song

Published on Jan 20 2010 at 15:42 CST
Written by Brian Minnick (manic_inspiration)

Dream a Melody so firm
that Earth and Sky begin to form.
Then Harmony to crack the Stone
and Rain to heal it's saddened soul.

Hum the Song to bring forth Roots
and Wind to some day cool it's leaves.
Hum louder and the Birds will learn
and Insects, less, and yet immortal.

Sing the Song and Man will Build,
will Dream,
will Kill,
will Worship, and Die.

Then be the Song and the Universe
will soon know who you are.
Music as your eternal Soul
shall guide new Worlds to discover their own.

The Dream Catcher's Story

Published on Jan 20 2010 at 15:40 CST
Written by Brian Minnick (manic_inspiration)

A ring torn free
from Sorrow’s litter
sings this song as
he remembers:

“Green balloon, O
plead no more!
The dormant smell
of dreams succumbs.

Grasp the divine
my floating cart!
And pray for the
man of lost hope.

But heed my whisper
and hold still!
A cello’s voice
sings a portent signal.”

Though penitent,
the ring now shows
his blatant gem
burst into gold.

Picture as the
clock strikes three
this ring takes off,
complete and free.

Now he rests on
the flatterer’s...

journey through heaven

Published on Jan 20 2010 at 12:48 CST
Written by Ashley Renee (AshleyRenee)

mountains of deep indigo and luscious evergreen
overlook a wild, open meadow of flowers often seen
coral roses, amethyst tulips, tigerlillies, dragonheart
daisies and a patch of clovers, those are just a start!
a hill slowly rises, now with nearly nothing at your feet,
to a quiet place that's shaded by the weeping willow tree
peer through her gentle leaves, what a sight you shall perceive!
a magnificent white castle shines in the coming of the eve
down the slope you scurry, your path so very clear,
through the pretty, plentiful garden, growing in a sphere...

Ode To The Stars

Published on Jan 19 2010 at 20:43 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

A lament to the night
and the constellations
of a stud bright
and its nebular relations
all the dead light
that died to reach us
a natural compass
that tried to teach us
about our universe
and its might .
Global rocks
that spin axled whirls
a solar that clocks
a pulling of polar
that burns
and the astroid belt
that turns
between our worlds
and comets that smelt
their energy tailed to twirls .
Faithfull forever satellites
stuck around by a mass
sparkling their fairy lights
through a stained glass...

First Dance

Published on Jan 19 2010 at 0:23 CST
Written by Brian Minnick (manic_inspiration)

I dance headfirst onto the moonlit river,
swollen stiff by Night’s deep sting.
I step out of pain, and anger, and grief,
a collision of psychotic esteem.
I dance, though my feet are bloodied and sore,
for the body is easily ignored.
I step from the anguish this moment presents,
and I will dance till it is no more.

Night.
Darkness lingers.
I have collapsed and the spell has past.
My body is broken, yet my mind shines clear.

There is no moon, though I stare wide-eyed
and hoping for a star.
So terribly far and yet...

The Time Stamp

Published on Jan 18 2010 at 5:33 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

A clockwork planet
its contours embossed
a jade garnet
spiked with frost .
Two tone colours
pave the hillside
tors carved from stone
rumble to landslides .
The sun screams a glare
to floral definition
all the hedge rows
stretch out
to a colourful collision .
The earth quakes
while one half awakes .
The other half tremors
as they live
their night terrors .
My floating head upon
a pillow
does dream a mute
blinking within lifes shadow
asleep . thinking , profound
and shallow
now its time to wake...
