White Horses And Cadillacs

Published on Dec 30 2009 at 11:04 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

I remember those times
i would travel between
the painted lines
black polished paint
would scream
a gleam
as I would dream
of near future times .
Do you recall
as the sun would fall .
i would roll up outside
like a ball
my eyes poor
your mobile I would call
as i fervently
knocked at the door .
A gti
on midnight tarmac
a tear in my eye
as I look back
where the heart is
and
motorway signs
each other we would miss
down the phone lines .
fast lane jets
no matter how
to you i...

Heart.

Published on Dec 30 2009 at 10:50 CST
Written by Ashley Renee (AshleyRenee)

I am a ship with wind-torn sails
a bird with tattered wing
I am a chair with rusty nails
a lark forgotten how to sing.

My constant quest holds but one aim
of finding thou, who can repair me
to complete me once again
for I shall never leave thee.

Doth not matter wind's direction
not the turning of the tide
'tis thoust steadfast affection
and unwillingness to hide.

'Tis everything in the world
and nothing I have ever known
'tis my treasure until I've grown old
and above me seeds are sewn.

broken lines

Published on Dec 30 2009 at 6:47 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

They talk on phones with broken lines,
and none of them can hear
the other end; it is
good when I-Hate-You's are buried mute and
let slip but nothing gets better because
every "I love you" she repeated between the
gasps and the sobs
remain unheard.

They talk on phones with broken lines,
with the words never getting through,
words that should and should not be kept
and hanging up
leads to no change but
pain because he hung up
when she said "I'm sorry."

And he never heard her cut her heart up for him
to mend, so she is...

happiness is a warm gun

Published on Dec 30 2009 at 6:45 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

You don't -
because of the way I still have to repeatedly
turn my pillows and quilt inside
out
to hide the proof of me never
getting the chance, of me rotting;
stench, taste, my patheticness.

You don't -
because of the constant
misjudgements and words that
should not be said, words that
leave me drenched in self-exhaustion
self-mutilation
because you say them anyway.

You don't -
because I feel my fingers shaking
I can't even read what I write, but I write to
stop my heart exploding like
kitchen gas

Burying Hell

Published on Dec 29 2009 at 22:30 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

when we pour ourselves into each other
clutching and
scratching upon every surface trying to leave a mark
so as to not forget
how irresistible it is
and the after 'I Love You's that
wrap everything up into
a perfect memory
of moments where you could cling to me
and never let go if
you had a choice

we are trying so hard to
be part of one another
in every way
emotional and physical
that every slit that divides us
hurts

we fight so hard to be where we are
and it all seems worth all the
tears and
heartburns...

Forever Alone

Published on Dec 29 2009 at 22:25 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

Can you imagine
that someone has bitten
a huge part right out of your soul
far past the spirit dimension
making this life
a constant suspension
forever alone
and cold
just waiting for the unknown
to unfold
then you stand
an apparition
just a vague trace
not even a vision
as the sermon
gets told
eyes of glass are shining
as they roll
back to a replay they go
a gone yesterday of old
bought by a mind
from a lost time
that forever It shall hold
and now never to be sold
the Egyptians
went out...

No More You

Published on Dec 29 2009 at 10:20 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

no more you
Through all hope I stare
into the dimming and devouring night
I can't cope as I glare
without a glimmer of light in sight
I just can't keep it going
forever estranged I stare
in a state of not knowing
no more you there
only coldness is blowing
the pain I just can't bear
the strain is surely showing
this court is so unfair
all boats just stopped rowing
my soul you couldn't spare
you cut the rope to my life , which I was towing
our lives you would'nt share
the sun doesn't rise it stopped glowing
my world is...

backflip

Published on Dec 29 2009 at 9:59 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

I did everything in every miniscule, microscopic way,
because you didn't give a shit if I lived or died,
one point of my life,
and I was dying - just so you know, I'll tell you now -
but you didn't care and stopped chasing me when I
scraped inwards, so I
promised you my life that didn't seem worth living,
at the time,
not that it would've even mattered to you
for you were too busy knowing you had won,
and that was all you cared about.

Get back at me for
telling you what is right,
by telling me what is wrong - "You are wrong."...

Rewind

Published on Dec 29 2009 at 9:57 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

When he asked me if I loved him,
I should've said "Not anymore."
But I keep saying "Yes, I do."
Because fuck yes, I do.

When he said there's no hope for us,
I should've nodded,
But I kept begging him to change his mind.

When he told me not to -,
I should've said, "Fine."
But I kept going, "I want to because you
want it that way."

When he asked me if I was trying to ruin us,
I should've said "Yes I am."
But I kept crying "No I didn't mean any harm."

& "I won't do what you don't like anymore."

When he did...

Endless Chase

Published on Dec 29 2009 at 5:27 CST
Written by Geoff

They saw each other from across the room,
Both were lost for words.
Eyes,
Bright blue and deep brown
Locked together in an endless chase,
Never forgetting,
Never letting go.

My Best Friend

Published on Dec 28 2009 at 23:55 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

what use is a flame
that just won't burn
or something that you tame
then it turns
your a player of games
of which rules
you won't learn
you then refuse a place
I offer you to turn.
Nor will you address
your shame
for upon yourself
you have
brought the blame .
I am sick of being
treat in this way
for all you do
is turn me away .
I need to feed
from real fire
somebody who wont
pinch my soul
with pliers
I dont want to be told that
your cold and sold
to ,the
highest buyer.

Brittle

Published on Dec 28 2009 at 16:08 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

I stand here
paused
unnoticed
brittle
and unclear
like an old locket picture
that was once held dear.
Above
is a nebular might
millions of dead eyes
are blinking
I am on solid ground
but sinking
and still
out of sight.
Gone
are all the lucky sevens
I must try to gamble
once more on life
and its rolling
jackpot heavens.

Foolish feelings

Published on Dec 28 2009 at 15:36 CST
Written by Arryn

Is love meant to feel like this?
Like you're being torn apart,
like you cannot breathe because
it stopped the beat of your heart?
Is love supposed to be despair
and loneliness within?
Is love meant to make you feel
as though you cannot force a grin?

I hate the way I'm suffering
and making myself ill;
I cannot eat for fear of puking,
I cannot smile at will.
I cannot even stop the tears
storming down my cheeks
and when I lie awake at night,
I wish to sleep for weeks.

Love has been unkind to me
in ways I cannot tell....

The Morningale Turns Into Night

Published on Dec 28 2009 at 13:06 CST
Written by Paul Summerscales (diddi)

The world stops still
inside you are filled.
It all smashes down
your crying eyes are forced around
the weeping sound
beneath the blow
beneath the uwanted frown
Staring at blurred skies
your confused
a large part of you just died
you melt into a state of bemused.
Unborn life
gets hacked out
by a dirty terminating
blunt apathetic knife.
Listen to the morningale
listen to him sing
watch the morningale turn into night
in mid plummeting flight
listen to the sound
of the falling ring
watch it bounce around...

Do I?

Published on Dec 28 2009 at 10:27 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

I cannot say specific words because they are
forbidden;
To you, I suppose, therefore I obey, for it pleases me
to please you.

You lock me away from going certain distances and I am
forever confined within spaces that stretch only
to where you are;
But it doesn't seem so hard because seeing you is
all I want to live with.

I am to
dress,talk,look
the way you want me to;
They say "Why does he do this?"
And I say, "Because he cares." as if I am
sure, but do you?

I am pretty much alright with your
infinite requests to...

my knight in shining armor

Published on Dec 28 2009 at 10:26 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

I am doing my best
remembering fairytales and placing them
into broken slits self inflicted by my stories,
mistakes - I am using make-believe like glue to fix what
reality ruined; reality is ugly like
spit and broken veins.

I sit in the center of silence
wrapping up sleepless nights, sweat, heavy breaths,
choked up eyes, clogged lungs, filth,
with bloody fingers and the thing they call
a heart,
into a silver box to beautify what is dying;
a million things to one.

I am building my world to give him
because I want to be the hero...

the body
smooth and white
is waiting no longer
and the stab wound
washed by the water
looks like a scratch
but admits your finger
like a small mouth

you were my world Part ii

Published on Dec 27 2009 at 21:08 CST
Written by Celine (3ampoems)

viii.

I bought my first packet of cigarettes today. It feels good.

I went back home and threw away the things that added to the substance of
who I was, like,
photographs, my favourite movies, and my favourite clothes.

I'm going to get miniskirts and G-strings.

viiii.

I met a friend while I wandered down the streets
I used to spend twilight sessions in; he looked at my
cigarette and stared at my miniskirt and asked me why.

I answered "It makes me real."

x.

I had sex with D. He told me he found me...

Rough Love

Published on Dec 27 2009 at 12:28 CST
Written by Sinead M. (roonerspism)

callous
hands;
remarks

words all rough and tumble
like closed fist to
open heart

Danger

and Pain.

and what fool would ever love you?
just a fool -

just Me.

I am
F All in g

but you will not hold me
in eyes or arms

indifference is rough
like your calloused hands

Pyromaniac

Published on Dec 27 2009 at 12:08 CST
Written by Synne (synne_r)

Never should a spark be undermined;
You never know when it'll blaze up to sear you its
Dancing naked flames, and blow
Ashes into your blind eyes.

You never see a fire from its humble beginning.

he never said once to burn a hole through my belief;
I only felt the scorching friction of our souls
and said it hurts so good to melt away
as something ignited between us and flared up above our skin
feelings combusting in and out of our mouths-
he should have tasted the charred lips I toasted upon his fire
and whisper

"Never play...
