A poem is like a crazy song
Its been stuck inside for oh so long
You want to belt it out and just sing
But how, oh how do you start the thing
Do you say OH baby like so many others?
Do you ask oh why do want to smother?
Do you insult the world in all its glory?
Or do you simply just tell the story?
So many ways to say one thing
To rhyme, to lie, or put words on a string
A poem is but a dream floating on nothing
Really a poem is anything as long as it comes from something
Or somewhere... hmm i wonder
could a poem drive you under
yes i suppose it could
just like a happy one should
Lift you up where you belong
And keep you there, nice and strong
it sure is curious isn't it
that a poem takes some sort of wit
Intelligence isn't key
but emotions need to run free
You need to feel, yes feel the words
maybe then it might just work

Insiduous as thundering drops of rain,
Coiled waiting deep in our brain.
Unstoppable, yes it's true
Irrepressible and fun, leaving others with no clue!

Posted: 3/9/2007 4:09:31 AM | the magic after the magician
has left the stage
the audience has shuffled out
back to their very ordinary lives
their obligatory sex
or their drugs
the auditorium is empty
and silent except for the memories
of things that are yet to happen | |

all that which
photos don't feel
notes won't smell
paint shant see
thread tries to taste
and clay can't hear

Posted: 3/9/2007 2:10:59 PM | a poem is the gentle release of the pain
calmly revealing pent up stress
a poem is so silly
excuse me,i do regress
yes, a poem is the prose of gentle demise
sometimes flagrant
often wise
it always conveys the meaning
to which way the poet is leaning
be it politics,sorrow,self-pity or strife
or simply a love song,an ode to "the wife"
some get lengthy, brittle and old
as well do poets(or so i am told)

Posted: 3/9/2007 7:52:52 PM | thoughts in a mind becoming sane ......
releasing of the initial pain...
to become whole with out the vicious stain...
to smile again without the painting of it all....
no word nor rhyme too big nor small..
yet throwing words set in a rhythmatic ball....
to heed to the answer of letting go of the once facefirst fall...
to stand on two feet proud and tall...
to look beauty in the mirror without the cry..
to see thru to a soul without bloodstained eyes.,....
to write of what is wanted in a life without vengence's alibi....
to love once again with all of oneself without the thought to run nor hide...
a poem is internal emotions cascading inside....

Posted: 3/19/2007 3:46:16 PM |  Is the depth of my soul,
forever changing,,,never wrong!
A memory of what I love!
Some part of me , left to love.
My deepest feelings seeping from,
the brain, that thinks it's come undone.
The serous drainage, of a life.
The ultimate pleasure,
without the strife!

twist your words like that again
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd think your mindset is twisted.
Twisted in the wind real slow
Twisted like a soft hot pretzel
From twisted soft pretzel dough
How twisted are you my dear
Twist or Spooning your soft rear
You would get twisted with beer
Where did my twisted pretzel go
Roam
alyosha has left the building
