If I were you Then I would gladly loan to me a dollar or two So I could eat And maybe get just one good night of sleep But I'm not And I'm stranded like a castaway in this town And you seem so unwilling to help a fellow when he's down If I were you That's what I'd do If I were you I wouldn't be out on these streets the whole night through Yeah I'd have a job And a pretty wife that I could come home to But I don't And I have twenty cents left to my name And you're the only one left here that I have to blame If I were you That's what I'd do Sir it's not my way to take from you the things I haven't earned I wish I could go back and heed the lessons I have learned But I can't So you'll gladly put your money in this sack Yes sir this thing is loaded And I have the hammer back If I were you That's what I'd do ----- | |||||

Feeling Inside I can't hide the feeling inside As you look me in the eye This feeling when you pass me by Wishing one day you'll be by my side This feeling that can't be denied That gets stronger when you're nearby This feeling that comes in great supply Hoping that you won't leave me like the tide No more will I hide the feeling inside When you look me in the eye 'Cause you've already stolen my heart inside ----- | |||||

Reflection I can see my reflection in the mirror, blurry, have I lost myself in the darkness? Have the thoughts of destruction soaring through my mind carried me, broken, away from the light? I search deep inside myself the soul behind the blue eyes, lifeless, out of reach of redemption. A fist raised in anger poised for strike, hitting the offending glass sending shards falling to the ground. Blood drips to the floor turning pure diamonds to rubies as my broken reflection looms above me. My mind hates who... what I've become, a prisoner, damned to be alone for eternity screwed over by fate. The stinging spreads, swirling my mind, making it near impossible to think. I'm sinking further into the water, drowning on my insecurities, choking on the pain. ----- ~Rayne Alexandria~ | |||||

Insecurities Everyone has their insecurities including me You may think that Im alright Im actually not People talk People change People talk People fade You may think Im fine but Im not okay If you have problems that means that your living life. With all my problems That means Im really living life Life is hard, I know even though I had to find out the hard way Everyone has their insecurities including me You may think Im alright but Im actually not. Insecurities are a part of life With life comes love and loss When your happy that means you are glad When your glad that means your not sad But, when you are sad that means you may feel insecure Everyone has their insecurities including me You may think Im alright but Im actually not Insecurities everyone has them Insecurities you cant get rid of them Insecurities you just have to learn to live with them. ----- "Take me away: A secret place. A sweet escape: Take me away. Take me away to better days. Take me away: A higher place." | |||||

Ebony skin stretched gently along precious cheekbones. Freckles traced across flawless skin like stars in the midnight hours, and eyes that shone like fresh moonlight. Slowly fading into the forbidden. She had smelled like fresh spring rain, or maybe a midnight walk at the carnival. He couldn't quite tell the difference as she took him on his first merry go round ride. Rain pouring down soaking their clothes til they dripped. She was like a roller coaster Intimidating and scary, yet somehow oh so exciting. Like when you get stuck upside down and you don't exactly know how long it will be. Scary, but thrilling. That's what it felt like. Or perhaps it felt more like one of the big loops. That intense 'whoosh, drop, WHOOSH' feeling you get in your belly when you're at such a fast speed you can't see straight. And then there was this feeling. Overwhelming; Capturing. Sorta like when you're just a little kid and you go on the ferris wheel for your very first time; There is a fear and an excitement. Seperately pulsing through your veins. The fear of falling from the top, but the courage just not to care. Smiles and Giggles; Laughter and joy; All held within her smile; within her laugh. And when she was with you, Everything vanished. Her bed was his carousel. Everything he had ever hoped for, ever dreamed of. Her presence was standing on the top of the eiffel tower; While the wind swooshed around you. Swaying from one way to the other. Free; Careless and at ease. Terrified and panicked. Her scent was a reminder of lightning striking, as if it were mere inches from your toes. She was electrifying. Smiles like shooting stars; Rare and breathtaking. Except there were no wishes, She was his only wish, his only dream; His only Desire. His Last and final false hope. She was the Reaper of souls. The bringer of broken hearts and false promises. She was everything that would never be his. © Lindsey Michelle J. ----- Necrophilia is a passion, Which is Cheaply Satisfied. | |||||

The Porch Dull gray planks Of once living timber Always in their ranks Through the snows of December The wood has deep cracks Like wrinkles, showing age Making it easy to personify The porch as an old man How many thoughts! While smoking outside Silly, serious, and emotional The porch has seen it all My laughter and sober silences In the same day Surrounded by friends or alone So when I walk past That simple gray porch I'm touched by serenity For I spent my happiest moments there | |||||

The only poem I've written that I like in the least: "Rush" I can try to resist brushing my fingernails against the harsh white canvas of your back - letting my fingers work their art on your rough exterior, and paint it red with ecstasy. But the rumbling roar of your tidal wave voice growls and I lose self control. We rush, as you become my private Mona Lisa. ----- real eyes realize real lies. | |||||

"Exercise in Beauty" There exists in this world a serene beauty that arrives without leaving. Awoken just as you are, spread as far as your eye lashes may reach. A singing in the woodwork- A chime in the wind- A flicker in the tongue- The magic of this world, twisted and fractured, curled and laced between the seams of life. Steam filtered between the gaps, between truth and fable. Back-light and full of luster, the clouds whispered, "Gunpowder muskrat." "Excuse me?" He said. ----- "I say unto you: a man must have chaos yet within him to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: ye have chaos yet within you." | |||||

Maniacal Laughter Emanating from Behind the Black Velvet Curtains of Hell get me into this, get me into this someone destroy set reality long enough so I can peek inside and see the bent tendrils grab onlookers and throw them askew into tunnels anew vomit churns in my resurrected gut like sour fermented butter forever and ever leaving behind my tasteless rhetoric for a path littered with decaying bones and zombified degenerates walking through oozing pathways and rotten gardens without the privilege of face and distinction yelling out to me...yelling out to me... recognizable voice...amplified demonic purgings the sweat is getting to me...the wet acid is burning little holes in my rib cage light my Pall Mall on the walls of Hell, inhale, and hope tomorrow Ill meet the Devil........ get me out of this....get me out of this..... -------------- | |||||

The Monster Inside Many things said. All cutting through, Piercing my heart. Forcing me to think. I never knew you to be like this. You always were so kind, But now its like that monster Has snuck up from the depths Of your tortured soul. Maybe you should get that under control Before you hurt someone you love, Or push them over the edge. Too late now, its done. The monster is there now. Youve gone too far. Diminishing hearts. Breaking me down. I cant think anymore. My head is pounding. The tears fall freely. I cant breathe. The pain is back again. Both physical and emotional. My head is pounding. I need to get out of here, I need to run. Run away from you and the monster youve become. How could you let it get this far? Im completely destroyed now. Theres nowhere to turn. Youll always be there, Reminding me of that night, When the monster came out And forced me to hide, So as to not get hurt again ----- | |||||

I feel the heat on your skin, your intimate eyes lure me in. Dancing in your up beat emotion two hearts, utmost commotion. Secrets, lust and love potion. The growl in your voice deeply descends, oh what fetish, a fetish of sin. Pulling me under the sheets wrapped tight, a scene so wrong, feeling incredibly right, scarlet love. Scarlet lover can it be, is there more to this ecstasy? Denying by day, another rose at night, my scarlet lover, sensual light. ----- BarbieBeatdownxxx | |||||

I stand, without legs, I am glass, stained yet beautiful, I am still, but I move hearts, I am fragile, yet untouchable, I can inspire you, or terrify you, I am constucted of thousands of panes, yet you only see one, I am what you see, lit with love, I stand, without legs, I am glass, Stained yet Beautiful.... ----- Start wearing purple, wearing purple. Start wearing purple for me now. All your sanity and wits, they will vanish, I promise. Its just a matter of time. | |||||

We burn like paper cranes in the stale furnace of ennui head on fire with the kudzu cancer blues we enter in droves into the belly of the sea for lack of a better death to pursue call me sick call me unprepared call me a prophet in need of repair call me the architect lost in his plans call me a fool honey, call me the lamb just call me what I am we lock ourselves away in space-age melanoma boxes in mute scorn of the star that gifted us with vision and wealth we cry for release just like a monsoon in a matchbox then stagger to the grave for a handshake and a toast to our health take me to heaven man, take me to hell take me to the mountain where the angels fell take me to tomorrow so I won't be so blue take me away honey, take me in you we grovel before wise men and we grow drunk on their words though they ain't said nothing that the coyote ain't done we're marked for death before we've even begun smote by the moon and burning in the heat of the sun ----- All I've found is it gets colder, further north ya go/it's pissin' rain and snow/God, it's the world I don't wanna know. | |||||

Her wish.. She loves him more than life itself, He loves her "more than she knows." She needs him more than the air she breaths, He needs her" more than he shows," She wants him more than anything, He wants her "more than he'll say," She'd do anything for him in a heart beat, He'd "do anything for her, anyday" She crys her self to sleep at night, He "holds his tears inside" She tells herself he'll love her someday, He tells himself," it'll be alright" She hears a song, and thinks of him He thinks or her and smiles, She talks to him, he talks her to, She's happy for a while. He falls asleep, She listens in He's sleeping oh so sweet. She smiles and says "I love you" though, He is fast asleep She stays awake hours more He snoring in her ear She listens to him, smileing, but wiping away a tear He lays there dreaming, not knowing that she crys, She hopes that he dreams of her, though she knows that a lie. He wakes and says "i love you" She smiles and says "you too" He falls asleep, again She whispers "but, i'm in love with you" He doesn't hear her endless tears, or words of heart she speaks. She says "Dear boy, i love you so" She hangs up, to let him sleep. She crys hours through for she wishes he would wake and say "dear girl, i'm in love with you, too" ----- 'Till Tonight Do Us Part. | |||||

Okay, tyler.  'arches' What a precious little Arch. We walk, us two Side by side in our awkward steps Along a path of sodden ice Sticking, swelling, slipping The creek nearby burbles. We stand there Not touching Our breath coiling from these grim slits called mouths Like a corkscrew. The cork gone, the foam rises Spurts. What a precious bridge spanning from my bank To your shore. ----- You guys wanna get a lil hahh? | |||||

The Sinweaved Thee have a beauty like a bliss Making people into sins Having a sympathy Shining more of a ruby If someone should come and ask What does this girl have ? Come'n and tell me That I should say for an answer She is like a horizon with no sun Wealthy with the things I have been in search for For what I do long for You'r facing a vagrant Lost deep into emotions How can I beg for mercy By not looking to your very eyes Hidden in my hood Thy shall tell me What needs to be done How it should be To make you understand What are the reasons of the deeds of my own already done The goodness lies in me, Threatened by evil most of the time, Believing that curse will pass me on, If I look as one of their own.. I wear a symbol of evil, Weaved by tons of sins, Waiting in line for the one , That can see me through; See the truth..  --------------- Sinweaver ----- Till our roads cross again.. fare thee well [This post was last updated on September 4, 2009, 3:14AM by Sinweaver.] |
