Hope
I'm stuck
an old shirt in the lost and found
a traumatized dog kept in a pound
or a bird behind some black prison bars
no, I'm just a human with too many scars
one day perhaps I might escape
with special magic wand and cape
to paradise no price to pay
if I don't die before that day
an old shirt in the lost and found
a traumatized dog kept in a pound
or a bird behind some black prison bars
no, I'm just a human with too many scars
one day perhaps I might escape
with special magic wand and cape
to paradise no price to pay
if I don't die before that day

denial of becomin
I am not music or art or poetry or hope
I am only what I have always been
tho my hands dance with ivory keys
hauntin silence with whispered confessions
tho I've surrendered nights to Ravel's ghost
as "gaspard de la nuit" possessed my soul
I am not music
tho I’ve painted skies from dreams
while darkness pooled beneath brushstrokes
tho colors bled thru my veins
when bottles stood empty in mornin light
I am not art
tho I've filled journals with fractured thoughts
tho I've written my breaths ...
I am only what I have always been

while darkness pooled beneath brushstrokes
tho colors bled thru my veins

Ignorance
People don't realize how stressed out you get,
When your head is so congested,
You have to physically push on the vessels,
To relieve it.
Without relief, you get spasms.
Dizziness and fear.
And the annoyance of people,
Trying to be friendly.
Thinking that talking would help.
When all it does,
Is trigger spams and fear.
The fear of losing control,
Of something you never used to control.
But now you have to.
Or else you'll die.
When your head is so congested,
You have to physically push on the vessels,
To relieve it.
Without relief, you get spasms.
Dizziness and fear.
And the annoyance of people,
Trying to be friendly.
Thinking that talking would help.
When all it does,
Is trigger spams and fear.
The fear of losing control,
Of something you never used to control.
But now you have to.
Or else you'll die.

The Chain (DUP)
Sign off full stop
The final stage
Those dreams and ink
Down the page
Curtain drops
On precious memories
Whispers of things past
Wondering what will come to pass
With great hope of meeting once again
To love & encourage the writing power
*****************************+***
The idea is to write a version of a couple of lines following on from this in celebration of our time on DUP and paste it to your page and tag your favorite writers who you would like to take part.

Birdwatching
While scanning for tits
I saw only wrens.
I counted 24 wrens...
and they were very naughty.
I had a bad case of the wrens.

Exuberant Existence
Roman wine red
Finely bled
Blush lips
A fine line
poetically aligned
Joyful jaw
line
Silk grape
skin surface
in sunlit vineyards
Singing birds
in
the sung sun
Odes composed by bards
in
The rubric
of
Your exuberance
To the magic
of
Your existence

Starsrite
With respect to the webmiss here, since this site is closing down...
Many here are asking for direction to a new site. And/or asking where will so and so be posting, etc.
So, I propose that a consensus is taken, for those who want to stick together as DUPers, in a new site.
I nominate Starsrite. I haven't joined yet, but I will be. SamNash did a really great job creating it.
It's a well done site, and isnt so big that we will get lost in the masses like in Allpoetry and the like. And as a bonus, Adelphina will be joining Starsrite too! What!

Final minutes of gig day
This here is a makeshift poem –
I’ll grab me some words and I’ll throw ‘em
on a page just to say that I did it.
Before midnight I have to submit it.
I’m exhausted, this day was so busy;
spent hours of it in a tizzy
preparing my rock ‘n roll show
and getting myself in the flow.
What a joy! My kids came along,
and they danced to so many songs.
Now I feel that my life is complete:
I’m a mom AND a rock star – how sweet!
.

Bear Ass Excuses
For four months been dating this girl always with an excuse about sex
From being tired, funerals and the ultimate bullshit-‘I don’t wanna get wet’,
“But the grand female real or unreal excuse is ‘I’m on my cycle’
Thirty days straight, bitch if that’s the case your chances are slim on survival,
“If it is that bad, she should get surgery or some pills for the shit
So, her insides can Stormtrooper clone the length and width of my dick,
“She denied the suggestions with another excuse of no sex before marriage ...

Journey's End
In the three and a half years I've been on this site
I've gone from writing a poem or so a month
to several a week
I've gone from writing mainly fiction and narrative
to thinking in stanzas and senryu
I've gone from interacting mainly with local writers
to knowing fascinating and talented writers from around the world
I've had a place to be inspired and entertained
to write with abandon,
and be unrestrained
It's been a good ride.
Thank you all.

DUP, Starsrite and me
Dear everyone
Before I start I would first like to express my great heartfelt sorrow at knowing that Deepundergroundpoetry is closing down. DUP had been a second home to me and to many poets like myself. I have met many friends, read some amazing words, poems and stories that touched my heart and made me the person who I am right now. But most of all I’m very grateful to the owners of DUP and everyone who has worked relentlessly to bring together such a great community of poets and writers under their wings. I also know how difficult it is to make such a site work, and what...
