this should be easy
Uninterested
I forget to tighten my grip
while you're slowly slipping away.
Like oil through my hair,
draining from tip to root and root to neck.
With that baffled look in your eye
of an ill-drawn portrait,
wondering if I came any closer
would it feel better or worse.
You have lost faith in me.
A feather stuck to a tree,
fluttering carelessly,
you don't look up to me anymore.
I'm not what you seek.
I would like to change your mind,
wrap you in silk and satin,
on a bed of fallen angels,
intoxicate you til you are poison.
Bind you in wickedness you love,
and more so.
This heart's a mess.
This mess is a place,
where I keep your memory vague,
where I hold you tight
to fill this emptiness,
because you are the only one
who would understand.
But you will never understand.

Her Soul...
I walk in my room
To see my sister sitting in gloom
She'd been shuffling through everything
I'm wandering her reasoning
"Dear are you okay?"
I question with out delay
"No dear sister I am not"
She replies showing me her eyes that are blood shot
"What happened? Why is everything scattered?"
She walked over grabbing my hand..that's when I shattered
"I'm soul my dear I can't find it
Its lost somewhere in here..I can't just sit"
I find this funny you see
I would've expected this more from Sammie
I giggle a little and look at her agitated face
I reply with all my grace..
"You can't find your soul
Cause your heart has taken its toll
Its still there
Even if you think it hiding isn't fair
I promise Cherry dear
It didn't run away like you fear
This Alice being me
Will have your soul remove its mask you see"
She grins and hugs me
"Just give me sometime you see"

Daughter Time
With her Father dead and gone
Its Daughter Time that brings the dawn
Like a clock she will always be
With each sword a hand you see
Telling us what is next to happen
If only we were to listen
She's got a heart of gold
But with no money will she be sold
She seems nice and sweet
And trust me her friendship is in deed a treat
However, betraying her may be deadly
But don't worry she'll kill you steadily
She does love to laugh
If only someone could bypass her hurting half
Its seems her hourglass has shattered
Leaving mounds if sand scattered
While her clock keeps ticking
Her hourglass keeps spilling
So she paints on her eyeliner thicker then ever
And continues to flip-flop time over and over
If someone could fix her
Time would be full of less torture
Who would dare
To try and fix the girl who seemed to never care?
She called for a small few
To be at her door at a quarter to 2
I know she doesn't expect it to be quick
So who will she pick?
I don't know for sure
But I do know they hold her cure
Now she drops her swords and opens these large doors
Her decision has been made as her choices walk these shiny floors
"You!" She says
As everyone bows their heads
"Me?" I answer questioning her decision
"No question
Your it, your perfect to fix me"
Oh how I wish I knew what she may see
"Oh Daughter Time I hope to please the
I do hope to fix you, you see"
So as you once again close the doors
Only you and I are in your walls walking these cold floors
"I promise to never say good bye
And I'll always look you in the eye"
I say taking her gentle hand
'I'll make sure your walls always stand"
So here we will forever sit
And I will fix you stitch by stitch
Thank you Daughter Time
For allowing me to make such a rhyme <3

Captain trips
Captin trips will come one day
And take all these idiots far away
Floating through the air stealthy and silent
Taking down all who deny it
One breath you take and suck in the sickness
Ahh its only the flu you think then it thickens
You choke one day on nothing but his deadly grasp
Good bye we wave as we laugh at your deadly gasp
The reak of burning flesh
Everyone with guns pointed to their heads
Held in containment
With no one to talk
Without a single weeze or cough
Even the patrolers die
Leaving you locked up
Break down the doors and run away
Follow the dreams that lead you straight away
Deaf and dumb, gay or straight run to the town with open gates
Boulder the town of newly none
But no harm is soon to come
The rest they greet you with open arms and hands
Clean up the town of all dead and gone
Turn on the lights its time to brawl
With the town of evil
Vegas they call
Send some others till the moon full falls bright
The dark man notices them none so shall none die
Till the M-O-O-N tells him again
But in the midst of all the death and the lies
Trash ruins his plans
And with one bomb Vegas flies sky high
In the end the good had won the world
And in the end it did so end with a bang not a whimper
Captin trips will come one day
And take all these idiots far away
Floating through the air stealthy and silent
Taking down all who deny it
One breath you take and suck in the sickness
Ahh its only the flu you think then it thickens
You choke one day on nothing but his deadly grasp
Good bye we wave as we laugh at your deadly gasp
The reak of burning flesh
Everyone with guns pointed to their heads
Held in containment
With no one to talk
Without a single weeze or cough
Even the patrolers die
Leaving you locked up
Break down the doors and run away
Follow the dreams that lead you straight away
Deaf and dumb, gay or straight run to the town with open gates
Boulder the town of newly none
But no harm is soon to come
The rest they greet you with open arms and hands
Clean up the town of all dead and gone
Turn on the lights its time to brawl
With the town of evil

Send some others till the moon full falls bright
The dark man notices them none so shall none die
Till the M-O-O-N tells him again

- Old Dreams -
Drifting away, on darksome wings and hellish winds,
Like a dragon descending, from some lofty perch…
I hear the sound of jubilations past, lamenting silently.
Obedient unto the last, I honor forgotten commands,
And I weep for what is lost, as I continue my search.
So many have sacrificed their souls, and their dignity!
Even I am not untouched by the shadows that pursue,
The righteous, who stand firm even before the abyss!
None can deny the hour, for giving the Devil its’ due.
When it comes, it slithers like a serpent’s loud hiss…
The fangs of which drink deep, and not of red blood!
I know the shadow’s touch and the serpent’s guile…
From deep within: of times older than the great flood.
No mirror can capture my true face, in form or style.
Only flesh is reflected by matter’s crudest cold glass,
Fashioned by human frailty, to display a vain structure.
Deeper than bone and sinew, things so often crass…
Far deeper, is the true soul as spoken of in scripture.
In the night the truth is bared without the sun’s glare,
And to that revelation, there is but little to compare!
Falling silently, my spirit did dance amongst the stars,
Giddy as a child adrift in realms of the imagination…
Yet, from the seas I have sailed there is no returning.
I walk unknown to mortal eyes, hiding my old scars,
Longing once more, to hear the sound of celebration.
Whilst behind my eyes a mad, hot inferno is burning!
Let us rock to the beat; let us rock galaxies asunder,
Until the hour of wrath is past and all debts are paid!
Only the few, will hear the sounds of distant thunder,
Whilst others shall continue: only to fall utterly afraid.
I am the harbinger of truths, which were and shall be,
Whose words have been suppressed: by holy fools!
The one you have forgotten, in your human vanity…
I am: the god you were not taught of in any schools!
Whispers in the darkness kept my scriptures pure…
Devotion before the setting sun with a wicked relish,
Hastening the twilight, until it reaches a distant shore.
How swiftly comes midnight, an hour passing selfish,
For it devours the day that came before, so wanton!
Hungry is the eve, and more lofty than any mountain.
Rising steadily, my yearning for an age more of gold,
Than vile lead, of which this era has been melded…
Calls unto the depths of the spaces that lie between!
It beckons to things that, before time, were very old,
Until at length a prayer becomes a song, as shouted.
A thing both beautifully sacred, and darkly obscene!
For want of love, this world starves until it is broken,
And for desire of love, I would break even Heaven!
In the forge at Hell’s heart, I did fashion my token…
A rose of ruby flame made, by the lord of the seven.
This, would I give to the queen who would so reign,
Enthroned by my side, in majesty terrible and lovely.
For such desire, I have endured unspeakable pain…
And caused my fair share, for anger is never comely.
Yet through it all, I have held true to my old dreams,
Never wavering, in the stand I made first in creation.
Beset by torments that caused many divine screams,
I rose all the higher, only to fall beneath my station…
And so I wait in shadows, determined to smile wide,
Preparing two thrones in the place where I do abide.
Misit de coelo, in inferno regnem!
Drifting away, on darksome wings and hellish winds,
Like a dragon descending, from some lofty perch…
I hear the sound of jubilations past, lamenting silently.

And take all these idiots far away
Floating through the air stealthy and silent
Taking down all who deny it
One breath you take and suck in the sickness
Ahh its only the flu you think then it thickens
You choke one day on nothing but his deadly grasp
Good bye we wave as we laugh at your deadly gasp
The reak of burning flesh
Everyone with guns pointed to their heads
Held in containment
With no one to talk
Without a single weeze or cough
Even the patrolers die
Leaving you locked up
Break down the doors and run away
Follow the dreams that lead you straight away
Deaf and dumb, gay or straight run to the town with open gates
Boulder the town of newly none
But no harm is soon to come
The rest they greet you with open arms and hands
Clean up the town of all dead and gone
Turn on the lights its time to brawl
With the town of evil
Vegas they call
Send some others till the moon full falls bright
The dark man notices them none so shall none die
Till the M-O-O-N tells him again
But in the midst of all the death and the lies
Trash ruins his plans
And with one bomb Vegas flies sky high
In the end the good had won the world
And in the end it did so end with a bang not a whimper
Ah! A fellow Stephen King fan I see. The Stand totally rocks, doesn't it? Your poem is an interesting take on it, too. Love it!

its like..this never ending song.
that continues to play in my mind.
for some reason,
but this song dosnt say a word.
and it play a tune witch i never herd.
this song that plays like a rewinding movie.
playing over and over again.
why does this song always come to me?
when this song play in my mind,
i feel as if my eyes has gone blank,
and i shall never see anything,
but for some reason,
this song dosnt say a word.
as it play a tune i never herd.
my brain begins to collapse,
shall i follow my mind or my heart??
these are questions that we all wounder.
what is the right thing to do??
we all say to ourselves.
my song,that follows me from here to there,
shall never bring me to a halt.
for some reason,
this song dosnt say a word.
and it play a tune i never herd.

Death adopts me
Death, how could you
Take me as your own
When you have taken
So much from me?
You make me your daughter
Princess of darkness,
Shadow of the night
Yet you have stolen
My twin
And placed his soul
Much higher than I
Can reach.
Death, you have
Me wed
To lucifer
His dark thoughts
And black soul
Consume me
Romance me.
You have
made me your daughter,
But I will never forget
What you have done.
You captured
My twin
And left me
Just a half
Of what was
Once
Whole.
Death, how could you
Take me as your own
When you have taken
So much from me?
You make me your daughter
Princess of darkness,
Shadow of the night
Yet you have stolen
My twin
And placed his soul
Much higher than I
Can reach.
Death, you have
Me wed
To lucifer
His dark thoughts
And black soul
Consume me
Romance me.
You have
made me your daughter,
But I will never forget
What you have done.
You captured
My twin
And left me
Just a half
Of what was
Once
Whole.
Why do we keep doing this?
Why do we keep falling in love?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Everytime I fall
Everytime I land
It gets harder to get back up
I used to love you
But I'm not sure anymore
I'm so confused
Everytime we split there's always a different excuse
Not anymore
It's my turn to say goodbye
Forever
So goodbye
I don't love you anymore
And I don't think I ever will again
Why do we keep falling in love?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Everytime I fall
Everytime I land
It gets harder to get back up
I used to love you
But I'm not sure anymore
I'm so confused
Everytime we split there's always a different excuse
Not anymore
It's my turn to say goodbye
Forever
So goodbye
I don't love you anymore
And I don't think I ever will again

LIFE IS AN EQUATION
Life is an equation
[24] DAS28=0.56 \times \sqrt{TEN28} + 0.28 \times \sqrt{SW28} + 0.70 \times \ln(ESR) + 0.014 \times SA
That I do not understand
M\left[\mathbf{r}(t),\mathbf{\dot{r](t),\mathbf{\ddot{r](t),t\right]=0
Everything can be described
The relationships
between
the knowns and the unknowns
You are the unknown
M\left[\mathbf{r}(t),\mathbf{\dot{r](t),\mathbf{\ddot{r](t),t\right]=0
I can never figure you out
Just when I am
Starting to understand
You just change again
p( x ) = \frac { \sqrt{ A( x ) C( x ) - B( x )^2 ] {\pi A( x )}
I keep brushing up on my math
Which is futile
Because I am a fluctuation
m\frac{d^{2}\mathbf{x]{dt^{2]=-\lambda \frac{d\mathbf{x]{dt}+\boldsymbol{\eta}\left( t\right).
Having to walk so carefully
I am a tightrope walking quantity
So in life 1 + 1 = ?
If you think it is two
Just wait, it will change
If you think that 2x2=4
Maybe you think life is fair
But I found that hard work
Just never got you there
It is who I know
I want to know 2, 3 and 5
Prime numbers have clout
Which 1, 4 and 6 just do not
So in terms of advancement
My learning curve must be fast
Cause I want it all
I want it to last
You are not an Αα =Alpha
You are a Beta function
\mathrm{\Beta}(x,y) = \int_0^1t^{x-1}(1-t)^{y-1}\,dt \!
You need to be tested
That will take too long
Been a Beta tester all my life
You would not believe the things I have calculated
All the worry, misery and strife
Sick of Beta testing
Going out on time: 0600R
Bye zero six hundred Romeo
Juliet is going
Coordinates: 111132.954 - 559.822(cos 2φ) + 1.175(cos 4φ)
I do not want to be found!

THE MISTAKE I MADE
The mistake I made was to be so overeducated
That I could not attract a man
They just released a study
Where women care about a man's education
Reversed...a man does not give a damn
So good for me all those degrees
Men don't give a shit
All they want is beauty
A rich girl
A whore in bed
A lady in the house.
