| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 11/16/2004 2:12:07 AM | Cross my friend I hate to see you go, yet under the circumstances XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Time has come and you must go And leave your friends by this old radio
If we liked your spinning we could drop you a line You would be back tommrrow at the same old time
Now it seem that they have won, I'm sure however your not done
In fourms all across this web You'll will find place to lay your head
And when you do I hope that day you send an e-mail back this way
The Magic that you spun on here Often made me shed a tear, such beauty from this writers pen Will not be posted here again
Take care my friend..........Good luck..I will be where I have always been Just and e-mail or phone call away.... | |

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 11/26/2004 9:37:41 PM | Bcgray, I never got to properly say goodbye. So many a friend, never got to look in the eye.
At last, this is simply how this game works You can be yourself, save a few simple minded jerks.
I miss you all, and hope that your life is still what you pursue Because nothing on this rock is worth sacrificing over you.
Ive met my fair share of friends, and have met very few foes The things that the powers that be understand, no one knows.
I have live a greater life than most men can ever manage to tale But I never, ever worry about my life, becomeing something stale.
I know that when I reach that day, laying upon deaths cold, relentless bed I can close my eyes, and walk through my mind, and remember what my heart said.
Love the ones you can. Face the ones you dont want to, and hold the ones ya need. Let go of your foolish dreams, let your heart run wild. And never let your life be one of greed.
Smile to the man that opens the door, and wink the the lady that rings her bell Your warm heart on that cold day, could be their difference between heaven and hell.
Never stop to thank that person, that lets you simply cut in line Or the heart that reaches out to you, ensuring you that your fine.
The postal man that delivers your mail, and always puts in in perfect order Or perhaps the neighbor that lets you put your fence, two feet across the border.
Life really isnt all that long, and you only get one shot. So spin the record and dance the dance.
We all met here, and the ones that I think about often, know who they are. The labels placed mean nothing to me, you know your still in my heart. I learned just a little bit, from each and every one. I take those lessons very dearly, so dont think for a minute that this cross is done.
I never liked being me, until I met you. I never liked living this life, until it became new.
You all had so much to do with that, the ones that know me the best. And I would as of the others, to listend to them, the ones the remain the rest.
Thank you so much.

Im sorry, I got typing so fast and feeling so much.... lol... this is what it was meant to say...
"You all had so much to do with that, the ones that knew me the best. And I would tell the others, to listen to them, the ones that remain the rest"
And what I meant by that, was this. There are a list of regulars here, who actually speak to people. I admire them so much for that. They do it in a way that disguises themselves, through poetry.... but they speak to us. And they are my friends. I miss you guys!!

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 11/26/2004 10:05:50 PM | You have this man subdued. I wont talk to you, or be rude.
You pulled a pistol, when I pulled a pen. You played the adult, when you were supposed to be the human. You failed, and you always will. But, its rational behavior were after. Isnt it.
I stop in from time to time, I read what my friends write. I want to be the replyer, the one who understands.
But Im the fool that lacks judgment, the skater on very thin ice. I have to word it perfectly, or Im no longer being nice.
But zee, and sky, and soba and kook (grey is now gone), and abass, so many others that walk through this life that we allow to touch us... and grip us.. and we just shine and hope they continue to fly. Thats all we hope.
This will by my last for awhile. Because its what I feel. A heart full of fake, for a life thats full of so much real!

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 11/27/2004 4:33:26 AM | Brother, my color may have changed, yet my heart remains pure.
Go forth and live as if it were your last day, love, as there is no other
Dream as if it's all possible
Remember the faces of those you hold dear
Know that we miss you, and wish you love, happiness and Joy where ever you are.....

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 11/28/2004 4:09:03 AM | I miss the man we used to know
I wish he didn't have to go
I come here now and hope to see some beautiful words of great poetry
Yet the boards are bare, theres no one here Theres no more joy, theres no more cheer
I hope that he will find his space, on the web another place
For our loss is anothers gain
I will stay and fight the pain... | |

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 12/7/2004 9:07:04 PM | Another day, another labored step. Another dream, another tear that was wept.
Shifting in my hollow mind, searching for a sweat release Looking for what I wont find, finding only what I need the least.
Sitting in a broken chair. Breathing only stale-lost air.
What if I take this finale step? What if I fail to see. What if I break another bone, what if I damage you and me?
Another day, another toilsome walk. Another vision, another heart that can talk.
Sitting here in a deformed life, I search for what has got to be right. Laying here in a rented bed, I pray to God that I wont die tonight.
So many things I have yet to do. So many lives I have yet to build. So many things I never said to you. So many fears that I still yeild.
So here I come. You may cut me down in a victiorious mannor, and you may win. I no longer care, you may be the galiant force that over takes me, absolution of my sin.
You may be that person. You may be that crown. You may be that vicor, or you may slowly drag me down.
Either way it no longer matters, your words ring in such a folly. I will show up in brazen arms, and they will have their day... no such folly in my life....
When you cast doubts on me... It makes me smile. Whey you say I cant crawl, I run the miracle mile.
When you tell me I can no longer find all that my heart desires. I will gently remind you of the place you dwell in, in lifes brutal mires.
You see, the pedestal your standing on, is only half built A child like yourself, can never rise above your axial tilt.
But its all a sweet release, inside the subtle dreams that you keep. And I will remain your villian, the bat the lurks inside of your deep.
Like it matters. Like it ever really did. Like you ever held emotion. I would have stuck it out over the years... but you and I lacked the devotion.
Sleep well | |

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 12/8/2004 8:19:12 AM | The rented bed, the pain of time I read your words as they are mine
I know the pain that you must face While she is here and you're in that place
Yet time will heal the broken lost soul If you keep in mind the final goal | |
|
| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 12/8/2004 8:54:40 AM | oh yellow rose oh yellow rose why did you take off and leave red behind only if you'd come back you'd brighten my heart with the worm bright glow you'd suddenly make me alive and well like it once was... | |

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 12/19/2004 10:29:01 PM | In the showing up there is intrigue. In the walking closer there is mystique. In the growing together there is warmth. In the day to day duldrums there is happiness. In the arguments that no one recalls their origin, there is fear. In the still nights of silence there is searching. In the walking away there is the story of where we went wrong. | |

| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 12/19/2004 10:53:44 PM | | Im doing great. Little tired and holiday-spent, but aside from that, Im better than ever. Trying to come up with a few things I have been working on, but I think my writer in my head is taking a night off...lol | |
|
| CROSSED MADMEN.... MY TRIBUTE TO.... Posted: 12/20/2004 12:55:20 AM | I burned away all the mire, to find a heart of refined gold. Sitting beside my consuming fire, I prepare the story still untold.
Theres a house that sits in a valley, backed up against all the pines. Theres a heart that crys in the dark inside that house, and that one is mine.
I cant have any shelves anymore. So afraid that what sits there, will never be removed. The day I lost you girl, changed my life forever. I swear I came completely unglued.
But Im no longer down in that cold, dark well. Here in the pines, in my very own house, I survived all of that hell.
Yet there are nights, sitting here staring at all these blinking stars. My heart wishes for another, feeling she may as well be on mars.
The distance is no where near that far, but I know only that shes not right here. Im content for the first time in my life, Im no longer letting my heart to be ran by fear.
I burned away all of that mire, to find a heart of refined gold. Walking away from my consuming fire, Im content with the story that is now told. | |
