Poetry Contest

hallucinogenic collaboration

This is a collaboration competition! Find a fellow DUP member and show everyone what you imagine you see, hear, touch, smell and taste. The idea is, what is hallucinatory to you and your collab partner! Use the poem HALLUCINOGENIUS posted below as a template, speak to each other in the poem!  

A competition collaboration with gothicsurrealism and crimsin! We had just collaborated on a piece called HALLUCINOGENIUS, and have decided to host a new competition based on the format we used.

One entry per collab.
Max length 50 lines.
Any style!
One month! Have fun!
PM gothicsurrealism or crimsin with any questions.


-Enter crimsin-

My voices say don't talk to you
because you illuminate the darkness in which they reside.
They moan despair in your light,
bloodletter you've seen heaven,
you're forever altered in this realm.

S-c-h-i-z-o-p-h-e-n-i-c genius!
Hopscotching delusions,
the pen your weapon in defeating demons,
capturing them on the page in black and white.
The lines on the paper their prison cell,
jangling their cup across the bars,
doesn't rattle us and if it does...we pen it

-Enter gothicsurrealism-

My voices say, “let her in,
till the lilac heat of her breath is on your face.
Let her illumine your gray ways,”
they breathe in exhilaration.
“Let her piece your mosaic together,
once again making you whole!”

Naturally h-a-l-l-u-c-i-n-o-g-e-n-i-c.  
My voices moan in ecstasy in your presence.
Closed windows keep the warmth within,
but I’ll open it wide for you.
The hand that hovers the page now flush,
the pen that dances streams thawed ink.

-Continues crimsin-  

I embrace you utterly kin of ink, and blood
flowing with the need for release.
Uniting under this sacred art form,
skillfully we slay the darkness,
burning the night and awakening the dawn with us.

Come with me. We shall shake foundations!
P-o-e-t-r-y our armor
to shield us from the madness.
Within its protection,
we can defeat the white noise
and quiet the internal voices!

Brother of mine,
inside your kaleidoscope visions,
my soul is renewed!
I now have hope for the future.  

-Continues gothicsurrealism-

Sister of mine,
comrade of poetic song,
you’re so finely tuned!

-Continues Crimsin

harmonizing our dread,
keeps us in check,
on point with this s-c-h-i-z-o talk
we stand.

our delusions restrained,
and locked on the page,
we walk on into the light,
ah freedom!

Grenades and lemonade    

My life is an open and shut case
It may as well be on a bookcase
Waiting for one to open and read
Although you may not know where it will lead
Gaining trust is as easy as making lemonade
after it’s lost then it's like a grenade,
Pieces everywhere lost in the mist of the ‘could have been’
The lost walking in circles,
                                     Pondering,
                                                    Wandering,
                                                              staring  into space

Thinking of the Whys and the How's, it's my case.
Lost are we,
Thinking of the past
Remembering the past

 
   As Each  Day Goes By
                                         In a Slow
                                                        and  Painful   Way  
Thoughts are the trigger,
Overthinking is the killer
Silence is the death that is sadly comforting  
Into space, we go
Together we will fly, and fall,
Spread our wings and fly, will we?
Catch me, will you?
 
As I slowly Tumble,  

                              Stumble    

                                      And fall,  


                                                  Laying there,  

                        Wings spread out
will I be let out?
 

 
Sky blue as can be
Snow covers me
Sun, gold as it shines through the arms of broken trust,
Green and brown as that grenade, waiting to bust
Although you may not know where it will lead
will you read it? Is up to you.
You do not have a clue
it may as well be on a bookcase
My life is an open and shut case

GEISHA GIRL

All I can see is fading brake lights as I swerve throughout the cars  
It’s time for late night pleasure seeking in some seedy run down bars
Right now I am unchaperoned, but will commit before this night is through  
Thinking if I close my eyes real tight then I’ll be sleeping next to you  
It's only entertainment, as pretty girls lift up their skirts  
When she lays herself across me, I'm quite uneasy as she flirts  
It's just another pair of tits, these aren’t her lips, these aren't her thighs  
And I’m undoubtedly aware that for sure these aren't her eyes  
 
With a quick spark the fire starts and the smoke fills up the room  
Watching as her face turns now intriguing to gloom  
I know that using her, only makes it seem more crummy  
But I slowly kiss her neck and make my way down to her tummy  
I touch her very softly and she says, “You know just what to do…”  
But the night was closing in so, “It might as well be you…?”  
With pinned out eyes I wonder could you bring these tears to laughter?
Is this who I’ve become, is this really what I’m after?  
Emotional brick walls help me stay out of the light  
Sanity; a full time job but...
I’m done with this crude night
