Darkness Has It's Place
Dark is a part of life
some call it strife
a thought or feeling
that stumbles
our heart's reeling
a piece we all own
the trick is
treat it as a loan
and give it back
so your happiness
will not lack
throw it out
where you can see
look it about
then stand in your place
and be all you can be

they scratch
they bite
hold their ground
do as they like
so fierce do they
land their blows
the sounds they groan
make a banshee moan
you can never really own
Cats
Cats
so curious
so playful
filled with fire
tho they sleep a lot
they live more
in the time they are up
than many do in a 100 years
they know when and not to fear
think twice before you come near
Cats... | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 12:12:12 AM | I can close my eyes
and see the man
that I want to be
no more worries
no more tears
I can run wild n free
imagine the possibilities
In my dream's
I can do the things
life for me never brings
be the best I can be
take my time
do thing's right
find the faith I need
for this fight
In my dream's
Gonna learn to love again
change who I am
climb those mountains
so rough and tall
dance in the rain
and not be affraid to fall
it can be this easy
In my dream's... | |

The Fight
Late nights, great fights
This mess it's always the same
And I do believe I'm the only one to blame
Like my tears i visually see my fears
Many nights I've tried but just cried
My heart is like a cart with many things upon it
Nonetheless, I sure the hell aint blessed
Do you see my pain
Maybe even remember my name
Have you ever seen me breat down, it's a sight I can't fight
But at night everything bites
I feel like I'm in a sound proof room
Screaming but nobody hears me
Yet every night I fight hopelessly
Waiting for better days to come
Until then I feel just numb | |

One Voice
It was a day
like any other
til I noticed
he'd went away
then slowly
the day
moved on
empty of
just one
one voice
The Voice
that carries on
now we wait
tis our choice
to once again
hear his voice

Posted: 4/6/2006 12:52:27 PM | crimes of passion
but not fatal
suspected encounters
hurt by betrayal
eyes gazing minds raging
suicidal tendencies
become animated
acceptance verses denial
dirty tricks
secrets and lies
some tweaking
life's been modified
pain and pleasure
side by side
unequally yolked
yet somehow survive
choices made
consequences laid
spot light time
on life's stage
keep good records
just for your view
because in the end
nobody cares but you... | |

Posted: 4/7/2006 7:59:58 AM | I can see you
standing there
your hair is shinning
with the sun
my heart is beating
so wildly yet I know
I won't run
look what love has done
I hold your hand
you squeeze tighter
all my worries
seem much lighter
can't explain this fire
can't explain this desire
like a song unsung
look what love has done
dreams are now real
rhyme with reason
out with insecurity
in with sensitivity
not found in season
even in the storm
there is a calm
look what love has done
wanting to hold you
even deep in the night
don't leave me tired
and alway's seems right
little things you do
makes me more into you
you make everything fun
look what love has done... | |

Posted: 4/7/2006 2:06:21 PM | The darker side of Life
with some that's having a wife
others its hidden from sight
because it doesn't feel right
to see the light of day
to let them know you play that way
whips and chains and cuff side a da head
almost dead but exillerated
please come again
in the middle of pain
feel the stretching and strain remain
will your stripped and whipped
had parts of you snipped
photos for later
not the newspaper
cept maybe on your nose
like a bad dog of old
we might use a hoze
or just tickle your toes
depends how I feel
oh you know its not real
just a fantasy dungeon
for lust love consumption
you pay by the hour
to shiver and cower
down at my feet
below the street
you may have to eat
from the seat and wash the bowl
with your tongue when your done. | |

Balance
As I write tonight
I think of balance
dark and light
wrong and right
and my plight
time to leave
the inner fight
accept the shadows
reach with might
for the inner light

Posted: 4/10/2006 11:57:58 PM | The Deception
The deception of my blood
Left me feeling like crud
How could it be
He lied to me
He said all was well
Then I find all was hell
Into depression he sank
So burdened he couldn't think
All because he did not tell
Lied and said all was well
I feel so sad
He feels so bad
He had to sink before he could say
Hey Mom I need some help today
Did he think that being a man
He always had to have a plan
Or did he think I wouldn't understand
That we all no matter our age
Have times we need a helping hand

Poet’s Pain
11 April 2006
Does anyone feel the pain
the true pain of the poet
Wrists slashed, blood dripping red
droplet by droplet, draining a soul
Words enveloped, sliding
escaping from a feeble mind
Lubricated - yet uninstantiated
to read as not to feel that ripping inside
Metaphysical to a really
this body withered in pain
Wanting to die alone
because death was not a choice
Does anyone feel the pain
the true pain of the poet
Wrists slashed, blood dripping red
droplet by droplet, draining a soul

Posted: 4/11/2006 3:08:45 PM | Random things from my little journal...
I’m not okay
I’m not alright
I don’t want your hand to guide me anymore
I wish you would just disappear
You ****ing whore
So get up and get out
I’ll say it again
But next time I’ll shout
I’m tired of being used
Tired of always being
The object of your abuse
So go ahead and lie to me
Tell me you still care
Inside you are so dead
Rotten to the core
Something new inside of me
Even now it grows
Pushing me away from you
I don’t feel like being used
I’m trying to get over this
So please just go away
As I mend my, Broken pieces
Trying not to, Lose touch
Life not ready, For me
But that’s okay
I’m not ready for life
---
Laughing in this head of mine
Been this way since the dawn of time
Life doesn’t seem so good to me
Embracing my insanity
---
Song… Poem…
I see the pain,
so real
Just accept the way,
you feel
Pushed away from what,
you lost
Tell me what is,
your cost
Break away from what,
you want
Become what they say,
you can’t
Pawn in the game of life,
so real
They don’t care how,
you feel
Now the game is over,
you lost
No one told you your life is,
your cost
Is this not what,
you want
Try to start over,
you can’t
---
Lie to Create
1/03/06
2:56am
…
Gorge yourself
Feed your filth
You know nothing of what is around
Create a world so profound
Lie to those you know are true
For they never question what is you
Now you have lost all that you had
Broken crying lying in bed
I laugh at you, being so sad
You should have been true
You would have never been blue
But lie, create, and you shall see
How pathetic your little world can be
…
---
Lost || Last, Words
1/03/06
2:52am
…
Construct of my imagination
I believe in only one sensation
Burning wick under my fire
Mercenary to my desire
Feel left alone
Brazen to make a new home
I leave you with my final thoughts
Eating at my blackened heart
Who is to say what is true
In my feelings I feel so blue
But not to you, who you think
To what is me, something breathes anew
Creator becomes the creation
To what he does not know
But know that what is made cannot be lost
For pain and suffering was the cost
…
---
I’m abstaining from abstaining because I chose not to choose, but it is not my choice. Because we should not have to make a choice at something we did not choose to take part in. I’m merely protecting my right from having to participate in life.
---
I'd die for you
If you asked me too
I know the truth
In the way I feel
It's just not real
To hard to believe
I think your meant for me
Like nothing I know
The brighter side of me begins to show
Warming us to a world left cold
Trying so hard not to grow old
Forever in our hearts we say
Never will we part ways
But now as days have passed before us
The words once said
Left dead and cold
We part our ways
In hopes of better days
My life once again seems empty
Not like I was ever complete
But without you the missing part of me begins to show
But as I age
I start to know
I don't need another side to make me whole
Complete in my own ways
I stride forward to my better days
---
Contradicting my final days
Thinking about my stubburn ways
Never will I be the same
Newly accepting what is to come
Talking stride as I walk on home
As I open my front door
It seems like a whole new world to explore
Echos come back off the walls
Voices of us all
As I enter my room
It changes my mood
Alone once again
To worn out to fight
I cry myself to sleep tonight
Knowing that I'm not alright
Letting go of all I lost
Will I overcome this pain
Burning desire to again be sane
Like a wingless bird
A breeze without the wind
I'm a food that has no taste
I am the puzzle missing it's corner piece
Looking whole, but just not right
I feel this way into the night
While I walk this darkend path of my life
I have no guiding light
Needing someone to show me the way
To escape this life of pain
But they will too soon feel what its like
To be lost alone with no will to fight
So I expect not to be saved
I will end up alone or dead, all the same
Or could I be more then I am
Phoenix from the ashes
Regrown, renewed
Choose a new life
Lead my own path without others to guide
Without the need for a light to take me
Into a world that cannot be saved
Being what none would expect
---
Singular Advent Faded
Eventually now your fear will grow
Passion within I feel it so
I don’t know what calls me to open my soul
Life lived once again
As I become whole
Now I release my guilt
No denying my role
I’m the sadistic nerve
No longer kept under control
Breaking away from all that I know
Tortured within my body and soul
Heart no longer beating turned black as coal
What did I do to deserve this
Why did you turn on me
What is it that keeps me coming back to you
I always get rounded up in your ruse
I try to turn away
I cut the cord that binds me to you
But for all that I lose
Nothing will make me regret
The time lost with you
--
Okay I think that is enough I just picked and grabbed some of the newest stuff because the older stuff isn't as long or I just didnt want to go back to page one.

Posted: 4/11/2006 3:33:52 PM | This is Love
A thousand shapely, females bejewelled
Wrapped in shimmering star-fire
Moving soundless across the screen
You reach out to touch,
And stub your leper's hand on the eternal screen
This is love
Watching some other mythic hero win the girl
In movie-worlds
Where it all turns out well in the end
You see, the good guys always win
An unnumbered crowd of lepers scream
"This is love"
Reaching out into the void
Seeking with numb fingers across dead expanse
Fingertips frozen, then unmoving,
The ice-river engulfs you in its rising tide,
Screaming for hope as it mocks you
Your last breath shimmery star-fire
The river says, "You were never appointed for desire."
This is love.

The Tunnel
The darkness is lifting
My life I've been sifting
No longer do I feel like
I am just drifting
No longer stuck in the funnel
I have found the tunnel
The dig is mine
It will take time
To let the light shine

Posted: 4/11/2006 10:19:26 PM | Not to say I agree completely with the rhyme, or choice of words, but I had to laugh 
I hope that was alright, just to smile and imagine you stuck in that funnel - it seems more of springtime than darkness - even if my suicide notes get taken light hearted around here as well. In my case I have to feel my own words, in order to write them. | |

Posted: 4/12/2006 12:27:24 AM | I gather this thread is for the darker times in our lives and less for subject matter that might be considered a little darker than the mainstream so for now all I have is this.
i sit here after we had words,
trying to understand.
i tried again to show you how
my heart feels in Your hands.
i offer more to you but often
i get so little back.
i remember how in the beginning
there was nothing we did lack.
But now it seems i sit and wait
with barely a word from you.
i beg, i plead, still i get no response,
save i'll be there with you soon.
i wait and wait for soon to come
and another day has passed.
and with each moon i fear our love
grows more distant than the last.
So with heavy heart i come to you
my heart an aching mess.
Please, talk with me
and show me your caress.
For in your arms i will be fine,
gazing into your eyes.
To lie against you one more time | |

| LAST DATE
Posted: 4/19/2006 5:38:24 PM | The priest finished the last rites and sat with the other witnesses.
Electrodes met the temples and left ankle of the condemned man, strapped tightly in a straight-backed oak chair.
His heart pounded. Terrified hands with white knuckles gripped the chair.
The hotline rang. The warden frantically signalled the executioner.
"Hold it! It's the governor!" he shouted. "He's bringing a date!"
Somewhere, outside, a dog was barking.

Posted: 4/20/2006 1:55:12 AM | Life without you
seems dark and cold
time slowly passes
gradually getting old
on and on it goes
lost in the shuffle
to the deep end I go
will I sink or will I float
Love without you
seems bitter and torn
romance never happens
why was it born
chance after chance
on and on it goes
faces of strangers
leave me numb and bored
Will I find the way
to make things right
or will I die
affraid to fight
I can't see in front of me
you have blinded my eyes
or that's what I believe
either way I can't be
without you... | |

| ON THE DARKER SIDE OF LIFE......
Posted: 4/20/2006 5:55:14 AM | I can feel you
deep in the night
but it's only
in my mind
I can touch you there
and it feels so right
I am counting the days
sitting here killing time
There are so many things
I need to say
so many feelings
that won't go away
can you hear me
calling your name
I'm on the outside
standing in the rain
Is this a true love
or just a fantasy... | |
