The truth

Published on 27th January 2010 3:17pm
Written by .xx-DementedDamsel-xx. (riyah_darling)

I'm sorry that i lied to you,
but now i must now tell the truth,
you see the lie I told you about being a virgin,
well that's not exactly true.

You see although i haven't had intercourse
I'm not a virgin as such.
As the whole world has fucked every one over,
Me especially, perhaps you not so much.

So I'm sorry that I lied to you,
Im sorry,Please forgive me.
i promise I wont lie again,
from now until eternity.

My Jupiter Dream

Published on 26th January 2010 2:47pm
Written by entropy bytes (entropy_bytes)

Have you ever wondered who you are,
Kissed with life, and of a verdant planet sustained by a star?
Or how you share that planet with hapless others,
A myriad creatures, each sisters and brothers?
And oh what manner of diversity!
Elephants and trees, armadillos and HIV.
Or why events should unfold so?
A Nature that is balanced and without a care for friend or foe,
Just a synergy, a state of being,
And its antithesis, all knowing, all seeing.
Saints and sinners – none of us true,
Little starmen me and you.
And in the stars our inheritance and our...

Supermarket trip to insanity

Published on 25th January 2010 7:35pm
Written by .xx-DementedDamsel-xx. (riyah_darling)

A nickel drops to the ground
and an earthquake then begins
As a fat lady runs to pick it up
Smiles drop from faces, as she begins to grin.

Her fat it bulges
And the floor begins to crack
Run away,close your eyes,
What ever you do don't look back.

Just her smell will make you sick
Let alone the sight
Run away, run away quick,
Before you get a bigger freight.

Cover your ears,
Don't want to hear the sound
Of her tears flooding the supermarket floor
Because she cant reach to the ground.

Run home, the Tidal Wave...

On the road to nowhere

Published on 25th January 2010 6:51pm
Written by .xx-DementedDamsel-xx. (riyah_darling)

On my way to nowhere

Hitting all the road blocks
Ignoring all the signs.
Cant sleep
unless I write something that rhymes.

Chewing at my nails
Until their broken and bleeding
Listened to music for inspiration,
And I've done too much reading.

Reading over my poems,
Must write something that isn't similar
But when I write down words
They just all seem blurred and unfamiliar.

I'm on my way to nowhere
I'm the train and I'm on the tracks.
Slowly but surely making my way there,
I hope I'll have enough power to get...

Expirience.

Published on 25th January 2010 2:48pm
Written by XKill Me RomanticallyX (pixxxiepoet)

Words left on repeat to replay my backwards fading memories,
and I think you may have misunderstood me when I said
I might still believe in myself.
What I really meant to say
was that my mind still remains but I’m tied down to this shame
well you antagonize my each and every mistake.
These chains are such a waste of space,
I’ve given up on running away,
I finally took the blame and I think I’m ready to face this now.
I was so wrong to deny a belief in these demons,
the ones I willingly consumed…
all the while knowing I could never escape myself....

0h, anxious me.

Published on 24th January 2010 2:27pm
Written by anita marie (SunshineRedirected)

all oxygen is getting away from me--
jumping out of my trachea before
I can get it far enough into my lungs
to make brain funtion feasible.
the pressure is already too high in there;
maximum capacity met this morning when I
woke up in a cold sweat,
clinging to my dreams
because I told myself they were real.

In the night someone
snuck in my home.

they saw into my mind,
collecting the clouds of smoke that have shrouded
my judgements for the past few weeks.
they measured them, weighed them,
placing them on a scale,...

After I Fired God

Published on 23rd January 2010 3:18pm
Written by Abracadabra

there was a corner to fill so here it...

Writing poetry is like that
you never know if the next meal
will be satisfying enough
and you're always
looking back over your shoulder
for the words you forgot to
cut up on your plate and eat

I don't mean
the bleeding hearts
you loved me
you left me
all the
now I'm gonna kill myself
material
it's more
the things that are important
that you want to deal with
Little message bearers
things you hope
other human beings can understand
drawing attention to issues...

Dedicated to Abracadabra

Written by .xx-DementedDamsel-xx. (riyah_darling)

Dedicated to A

You carried me with your wings
when mine were dragging low
my smile was once hiding behind tears
but you made my smile show.
I reached out for help, in my poetry
And when I felt so alone, you reached back to me.
You guided me like an angel
and helped me find myself.
You truly are an angel in my eyes
Thanks A xx

Untitled Drift

Published on 22nd January 2010 12:38pm
Written by SJ (Disregardme)

A sheet of Velcro fog
an abstract of the concrete mind
dancing pirates
binds untied
thrift store secrets
ancient regrets
steel begonias
magnetized lead
shore-washed coral
a brushed-out dread lock
marbled clam
watermarked memory
a riveted midnight
light bulb scream
staticy gaze
and dynamic eye
used up mattress
and confined outer space

Untitled Moment

Published on 22nd January 2010 12:37pm
Written by SJ (Disregardme)

Faded memories and still-frames in my mind
drowning darkness around cornered fallow sounds
wind-blown leeches and honeysuckles sucked dry
daybreak finds midnight of mindless time
drifting sadness of a mime's silence
filtered frowns of forgotten free
missing moments of you and me.

Re: Hello

Published on 22nd January 2010 8:22am
Written by Rusty Carraway (RustyCarraway)

Hey there mate.

Nothing much brings a tear to my eye these days, but that sure did. You are the conjuror of emotions from the deep, the black-eyed dog who chases walls 'til they're cracked and bleeding, the magic potion-mixer of joy and guilt and love and sorrow. "Bring the house down, my boy". And that you did. The carefully constructed cavity in my chest is filled, replenished once again, as I knew it would be all along, though others doubted and swayed. Once again, I hold the brightly coloured ball in my hand, shared, together, but mine. And ours. We speak by singing, note verbs,...

new light

Published on 21st January 2010 10:17pm
Written by shelberz

When you alone in the dark

their comes new light

this light will guide you thru hard times.

and help you up when you fall

but its your choice to let this light in

or block it out.

just remember without it

your all alone.

The forbidden.

Published on 21st January 2010 4:45pm
Written by .xx-DementedDamsel-xx. (riyah_darling)

Stab the forbidden
until your hearts content.
Then pop it daintily into the cooker.

Shh
Quiet now
don't want to alert the sleeping.

Can't let anyone,
share this deadly meal
that you have been longing for.

Whilst waiting for the forbidden to cook,
keep still...
Don't rattle the cutlery,
stand your ground
and battle
the excitement,
to ensure that it doesn't
leap out
of your mouth.

When you hear the oven
sound the timer,

Don't be alerted.
Quickly halt it
before it's to...

Far away

Published on 20th January 2010 8:57pm
Written by Michael Granger (Sir-Writes-A-lot)

Once again in pretend I have found this place
Far away in a distant planet
Beyond the stars that are in outer space
Just floating with no feet planted yet

Where no one can see my eyes
Off in a very peaceful state
Drifting far from reality where imagination applies
There is no time and date

Logic and theory is all that is there
No emotion on the inside
A sense of relaxation beyond compare
Very few can travel and reside

Zoning out with a blank stare
Everything is eliminated
Barely focused but completely aware
A physical...

Keep me keeping on

Published on 20th January 2010 2:18pm
Written by Mo57

Help me,
cradle my bones and keep my shape,
teach me less faltering ways.
Release;
only when I can row us both ashore,
even if the waves touch heavens.
Embellish the beauty of life,
and share with me only once; so it may seep into my dreams, to cause merry havoc with ethereal hurt.
Vanquish lonely memories.
Offer rebirth with your kiss.
Breath;
deeply as to pull me in,
so I can share your heart.

Young curiosity (2)

Published on 20th January 2010 1:05pm
Written by Kymberly

The light,
The light that shines
Underneath mommy and daddy’s bedroom door
The light that shines between the sliver-cracks of my bedroom window
Through the happy green canopy of leaves, projecting that vert melody onto my freckled skin.

Young curiosity

Published on 20th January 2010 12:59pm
Written by Kymberly

I skipped-
Skipped a stone and fell.
My knees were scraped, the skin fell open in petals.
Little red-pearl droplets danced out and onto the stone path.
And my fascination with it, my utter curiosity more powerful than the stinging.
