I thought I'd contribute some poems I've written, just for fun. If any of you consider this thread unjustified, just lock it.
The Green Fairy
Liquid fire, heart's desire
The fairy's siren song
Lift me up and take me higher
Won't be long before I'm gone
Ardent yearning lips of liars
Tease me, strip me with your taunts
Consumed in rapture, deathly mired
You know what it is I want
Corrupt my spirit, taint my soul
Tempt me, taste me, swallow me whole
Split me, break me, take your toll
Give me back what lovers stole
Make me yours, devour me sweetly
Rip me, shred me, tear me neatly
Graceful and elegant, my darling girl
You encompass my entire world
End of eras, death of ages
Make proud fools of gods and sages
Enter my mind and become one with me
Teach me beauty and set me free
Inkblot
Drowning in a frozen sea of apathy
I cannot speak, I cannot breathe
Melting into a blot of ink
'Til there is nothing left of me
Cascading, crushing, crumbled reality
Learn to look and you will see
The meaning of finality
A thing of beauty
In every atom of everything
Consumerica
Welcome to the digital ageless century
Living the hi-def caviar dream
Imbued with taste for the finer things
Riding the tides of data streams
Rotted to the core while the surface gleams
Dazzling our collective eyes
Rewriting our obsolete nucleotides
Succumbing to defective lives
Now what have we become?
Fools who've paid for paradise
Once we were the galaxy's envy
There's been a mistake and we've grown too many
Now existing to defy the error
Based on ever-present shapeless terror
And now we've come to form but echoes of a laugh.
Luminous, discordant, detached society
Drinking our humanity away
Laughing in the face of sobriety
Sacrificing tomorrow for today
Convert, transcode, revise, reload
Remove the cause for all our woes
Is it truth if no one knows?
Held captive by the lights and glow
Ironic proof you'll never know
What happened many years ago.
Manufacture wants and needs
Replace debate and plant the seeds
Erode the human condition with what's on TV screens
Not everything is always what it seems
Trade in bombs for stocks and bonds
Entrap yourself in endless greed
We want you to be consumed
Because that's what good citizens do
Freedom or security? It's time to choose
You want the truth yet we owe nothing to proof
We've got nothing to lose
Profit is our prophet and we're coming after you!
Go to bed, shut up, lay down
Erase that silly little frown
Assimilate now or prepare to drown
Destroy our perfection and we will PUT YOU DOWN.
Welcome to our Company, little buddy! We're gonna make a good little consumer out of you.
Photocopy
Print it send it, twice divide it
Check it, proof it, then rewrite it
Send it through the copy machine
Watch it come out fresh and clean
A perfect replica pristine
Just like our society
Revel in the mind of a photocopy
A paper jam's when the bombs are dropping
Reset, return, redo and readopt mediocrity
Nothing can stop the way we process things
Drawing a blank when the ink runs out
No matter what you do when you scream and shout
Nobody can stand up to the mighty collective
Destruction of inventive by methods preventive
We're running out of paper and the printer's breaking
We've got another company purchase in the making
It's time for a new photocopy machine
To clean from our spirits what was once ours to keep.
Lack of Logic
You ruin me with cheap semantics
Sense escapes you, phrases magic
Your lack of logic I find tragic
You want it all but you can't have it
These words of yours cause endless pain
It's sticks and stones, let's play a game
Burn my synapses and break my mind
I'm not the only one you'll find
Who takes your lies for what they are
But this time you've just gone too far.
Situations lead temptations down a dark and dismal path
You've provoked and brought upon yourself my fury and my wrath
That lack of judgment that you have makes your conscience laugh
Such an easy thought process, yet you can't do the math.
Lover's Waltz
She dances with me intimately
As her body shakes and shivers rhythmically
Snaps and quivers with blistering speed
Tears down my foundations so precisely
Flying 'cross the stage she's soaring
The look upon her face imploring
Inviting me into exploring her world
Her eyes, they shine like midnight pearls
Stripping clothes as layers unfurl
Drink a drop of lover's potion
Absorb the heart of your emotion
Letting go of all my pride
Forgetting all the hate inside
Remembering the meaning of devotion
Tracing patterns down your spine
We're making love in 3/4th's time
Our souls and bodies intertwine
Your satin touch is like a lifeline
Love like this don't cost a dime
In between the sheets we're dancing
Look at what a mess we've made
Morning coming starts to fade
Be my heart and be my shade
You alone can make my heart sing
You could be my everything
Alright, so those are just a few of my poems from the last few years. /shrug
comment and critique if you want, but they're just little spurts of thought.
