I told myself to not be sad
That where you are ain't that bad
And where you've been wasn't much worse
But that doesn't change how much it hurts...

I told myself I wouldn't cry
We were all sad the day you died
But now my heart aches with every beat
Thinking of you and your eyes so deep

And now I don't know what else to write
So I think I'll have a good cry tonight
For you, for what was and could have been
Forever missing you, my beautiful friend...

Stupid anal-retentive record store clerks
Why do they have to be such jerks?
So uppity with their noses in the air
Pretend they love music when they really don't care

"I work in a record store so I'm cooler than you"
You're just another working stiff like us, dude
So get off your high horse and come back to Earth
Or go cawl under a rock somewhere, jerk

All I'm doing is promoting my show
I don't know why you gotta be an A-hole
"If you don't buy something, you can't promote"
Fine then, I guess I won't!

There are plenty of record shops where the people are cool
Not like you, ya damned fool
Ya can't balckmail me into being your customer
So I think I'll take my business to another!

So there, you snotty record store clerks!! :-*

Dysfunctional carnage
A train wreck of a life

Overused tear ducts
Rusted eyelids sealed shut

Unhappy forebodings
A prophecy of doom

Forever wandering
Aimlessly alone

Soul adrift on a wild sea
Waves drown the pain

Shipwrecked once again
Island seashore coloured blood-red

A monster hiding in bandaged arms
Vampiric licking and sucking

Silently leeching away
Fade to black...

Angry beast within lurches
Hallways echoing with scraping claws
Coming for you, coming for you...

She will die inside without you knowing
Without a care in the world.

Blood congeals
Water dilutes.
Contamination, infiltration, saturation
Spoiling the pristine peacefulness
Of being alone.

Clock hands slap my face
Wake me up, wake up!
Oh the burden I carry
Pain so bright

I need...
« Reply #5 on May 24, 2007, 11:30am »

I need rain-dressed kisses on my face.

To stand atop a mountain peak,
with wind-swept words to caress my cheek.

A place pristine, untouched by any man.

Flitter, flutter fairy-land,
twitter, butterfly lit on my hand.

I need someone to water my heart and let it grow

Open the windows, let in the sunshine,
And I can be happy to call you mine.

Ok here's a funny one for a change:

(Inspired by me eating porridge at this very moment.)

Porridge
Is something I keep in storage
I take cream of wheat
And make it really sweet

What is porridge anyway?
Just ground-up grains, eh?

It's easy to make and fun to eat
So why don't you have some porridge with me!

Rosemary likes to be planted
In a ground covered in ice
To match her cold, cold heart
Ah, it feels nice

Rosemary dried up and became a hollow bone
Like a spongey spore-filled mushroom
To match the feeling inside her chest
Ah, she's finally home

Rosemary will spill your blood
With a prick of her spinster thorn
A widow lives inside her musky aroma
Ah, she feels good

Rosemary knows no sweet surrender
Except for when the cold season comes
Then she embraces herself in a tight shawl
Ah, her beloved winter

Isn't it funny how such a macabre poem can be inspired by the simple act of pulling dried rosemary leaves off my plant??

Flying V
« Reply #9 on Feb 16, 2008, 11:53pm »

Flying V in the sky
Squwaking, honking
Blissful and free
How I want to be like them
How I want to be like them
So high, so far from here
Flying to a heaven that our fingers can't touch
How do they elect their leader?
Not the way we do.
So simple -
No rules, no tricks,
No games, no gimmicks.
All are equal, but one leads the way
To brighter days just ahead, not destruction
Why can't we do the same?

Gone, gone, gone
And I don't care no mo'
If I ever see this godawful place again
Full of pain and misery
Fake diamonds and brown snow
I got so many other places to be
It don't matter cause I ain't wanted here
Anyhow and so it goes
Try and find me somewhere, where the pretty flowers grow
You won't find me there
Cause where I'm at you won't ever know
And so be it
Cause you ain't my friend anyway...
So I think I'll go in the garden and eat worms
Cause you ain't said hello in a long, long day
So don't expect no goodbye from me
Except maybe you'll hear somethin'
Or read this sappy piece of poetry
That don't make sense and hardly even rhymes
If that's ok with you, like I need your permission
I just feel what I gotta write...

These words hang above me
Like heavy springtime air
Filled with thunder
Brewing storms and burning tears
And the knowledge that you just don't care

Linden perfume graces my neck
Choking with sweet perfume
An atmospheric lilac glow
Shines on rotting leaves that hide the living
And still I pine for you

In my desperate heat and pain
The long days hover, oppressive and sore
Your absence and indifference
Like sharp blades, green and red
Pierce the heart I feel no more

So go on without this guilt
As sunshine awaits my sin
I will be cleansed in the morning dew
While you perish in a tempest of fire
To never curse me again

I might add more to this...but for now I have to go to sleep! It's almost 330 AM!

Edited May 31 to take out a couple words.

Christmastime Blues
« Reply #12 on Dec 9, 2008, 8:59pm »

Christmastime Blues

Got the Christmastime blues
Right down to my shoes
Been so long without love
And I don't know what to do

Been singin' in the rain
Hoping to escape the pain
It's been this way for so long
Don't know if I can go on

Yeah I got the Christmastime blues
Straight from me to you
Wanna say thanks for this present
So thoughtful you sent it

My heart's gonna cry all December long
So I'm gonna sing me this song
There's something I can hide behind
Before I lose my mind...

I got the Christmastime blues...
And honey it's all 'cause of you
I got me some Christmastime blues...
Now tell me who can blame who

I guess I had it too good, now it's all gone taken away
Gotta learn to hold on to those brighter days
Unless I want this cold, dark December
To go on forever
I gotta lose me my Christmastime blues...

And honey it's all 'cause of you
I got me some Christmastime blues...
Now tell me who can blame who
For these Christmastime blues

Yes it's gonna be a song, eventually...
