| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/20/2008 10:41:09 PM | a fvckd day (my meager attempt )
equinox has come fool moon tonight energy pulls me down
so heavy lightness of spirit weighted by pain world driving me insane
vortex of violence crushes my soul through teary eyes i can't see
i scream in desparation as the soundless words float away
hoping this maelstrom of madness will simply fade (posted on another thread..but thought it fit here nicely....) | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/21/2008 8:15:58 AM | | Thanks Lunar! I've been experimenting with madness in the past few posts on several threads. There are so many causes for it, and so many ways it manifests. I've seen this thread as kind of an outlet for that, and so I thank you for allowing me to paste my insanity to your walls. | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/21/2008 11:00:53 AM | sticking with the madness..
Hangin' Around Downtown ....observation
Ignorantly professing disgust with others "selfish" existance You show no difference from the others And I think I've met your mother As that english professor climbs into that van with yet another man... I discover for the nth time That I am not the only of my kind A cure for lonliness we seek to find So we sew seeds of madness But Again Reap Momentary Satisfaction In a connection lost before it's ever found The "idea" of inspiration lingers around A masked sound.......drowned As we all fall down We succumb to yet another round of shots of disguise There's pain in the eyes But laughter on the lips And the guy in the corner, mentally making feast of our hips The other man over there Seems to have no cares Because he stopped long ago Wandering to and fro Deciding to be still Take a pill Shoot his veins full and chill
Chalk it up as another soul lost to the hunger pain
Lined in chalk..another one....but it's all the same
That Ugly soul stealer The picture can't get any "realer" Stealing dreams in search for validation of his own existance And in doing so steals life, instant by instant Who is this thief that "stills" hopes and dreams? Energy returned in unhappiness, although happiness it SEEMS Seams sewn on the frayed endings of others The devilish seamstress is gainfully employed by our brothers, lovers, and mothers.....

With all madness comes relief Maybe not the relief we hoped for yet ... still banging at our door we answer often out of lonliness, pity, self disgust Most the world is mad... most of the ones we consider "normal" are even more mad than we! Left to wrangle in this warped existence Hung out in the cold too many times by another that is someway warped in the mind Evoking within us the same starving madness! It is then we decide to hide in our own mind! Screw the world and all it has not to give Volcanoes erupting from our self stirring Cloud Much better than screaming and calling them Aloud! "in my own little corner, in my own little room I can be whatever i want to be" Fighting so desperately to become what we wanted ... all along! It may very well be that all the madness given me I have become my own mad Seastorm Giving out my own madness just the same! | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/21/2008 11:15:25 AM | thanks mmmmmy.......wrote that downtown the other day....observing this vicious cycle of which you speak in your write (well said by the way!!).....at times I've thought the lost wanderers were "mad"...but I've found that the knowledge itself can be quite maddening!!...Awareness of madness just makes for better writes ...so, I guess we're ALL just a bunch of crazies runnin round here!! lol... | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/21/2008 1:06:36 PM | Sip from the tree of my sanity, taste my nectar of the ungods, how sweet the tonic, stirred with the sardonic rhetoric,
toxic sermons poison the minds
falling from grace, a displaced soul, reclused to the inn of sanity. | |

Sabre and the Rose - K.K>
Feet hit the ground; feet leaving town Quicker than a bullet or a knife Falling ain't no fun when you're on the run Honey we was runnin' for our life
When Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlight He turned his burnin' eyes upon my soul "It's time, by God, to spend this night with someone else", he said. "Squeeze a little pleasure from the gold" (love & glory, children) We can take it easy when we're old.
He said, "We'll take us into town, lay our money down I'll bring you to the sweetest thing that grows Because the fairest ones in sight are bloomin' every night at a tavern Called the Sabre and the Rose."
We swang into the saddle slick as breathing And slapped 'em once for pleasure with the reins The horses snorted frosty in the moonlight Somethin' dark was singing in my veins Older than the voices in my brain.
He said, "This place you're gonna see is where they live and breathe And sink down a little bit deeper every day And sometimes at night, when the wind is runnin' right, You can hear it suckin' thirty miles away"
Then the light was crimson and I found her, All naked and eternal and insane Sacred as the mysteries around her like a veil Nothin' but her prison was profane All we had in common was our chains.
Ah-burn it down boys Burn it to the ground, boys Burn it on down
Feet hit the ground; feet leaving town Quicker than a bullet or a knife
All the way she ran holdin' to my hand Runnin' for the river and our life Slidin' from the moonlight into shadows Silent as the river as it flows Swimmin' to the place they'll never find us All we left behind us was our clothes And the stories, children.
Sing about The Sabre and the Rose | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/21/2008 5:02:02 PM | now where'd I put that Essential Kris K CD?????? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
I heard the front door closing softly As I wakened from my sleep With the last touch of his lips Lord Like a whisper on my cheek And I cursed the sun for rising Cuz the worst was yet to come Cuz this morning he's just leaving But come sundown he'll be gone See the impression on the pillow That I placed beneath his head And the soft sheets still feel warm Lord Where he lay upon my bed And it hurts to know it's over For the hurt Lord has just begun Cuz this morning he's just leaving But come sundown he'll be gone.
i've sung myself to sleep a million times with this song | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/21/2008 7:03:19 PM | Not new but seems appropriate for your thread (this is from the mid-80s .. a difficult time in my life)..
I stand as old pines stand Hollowed and old Blackened and burned out Scarred by the touch of sky fire Standing from long-learned habit Rooted in the earth Reaching for the sky | |

| Rainbow Crowned Maelstrom Posted: 3/26/2008 8:31:06 PM | Wandering the maze darkness flinches the haze ropes roots long grown entwined shapes of sinister shadows climb lost among transient crumbled blades a brier of riddles a pallet laid a world of sediment in ground ashen reeds a paper a parchment signed sealed the deed twists and turns snaking awry scent of time pungent odors lie so shall ye enter so shall ye bide in dissection there is no place to hide | |
|
| Rainbow Crowned Posted: 3/26/2008 9:10:57 PM | Cursed to wander in the maze Bewitched upon darkened haze Twists an' turned to labyrinth bind Plants sprout vines tempt never entwined
Disection for that scientist in fake cloth white Harboured from sought to disect comes fright Parchment honoured 'pends to signed that decree Fight till death no place to hide! Slaughter Hyphcrisy!
Respected regards, TBK | |

The madness pooring forth from the inter-dimensional tap flows like liquid gold tingling between our toes Let's dance to this incoherent beat! Ears cannot hear it, only souls | |

| Rainbow Crowned Posted: 3/28/2008 9:31:22 AM | Do You Get Madder
Have you ever been so awful mad You stood out in the rain Shot holes in the garbage can While every body else ran…
Nope..I neva’ done that.
Have you ever been so mad On the phone you cussed your dad You couldn’t say it to his face Ya’ know He’d a’ put you in your place
Nope..I neva’ done that.

Nope..I neva’ done that.

Vaulted not to save for future Sour wine false to nurture That bitter.
Opened doors of money vault Earning's are of One's salt Sometimes bitter.
Alpha and Omega perhaps a pararrell Perceptions of varried to tell End bitter...
or....the bitter end?
Beyond the reach of wind an' sea Heart expressed most 'tis free Never bitter. | |

| Trippin as a Teen Posted: 3/31/2008 9:53:37 PM | I take a hit and lie back in my bed as visions of fairies dance in my head dark staring eyes nails of pail pink slowly, but surely, I begin to sink Into a deep, dark world of my own Where all of my friends and family are gone My past experiences are now just a dream I reach to touch things that aren't what they seem.. Seconds become minutes, and these become hours... Both my mind and my time are slowly being devoured. | |

I already know all the mistakes, pain, used up grief! How's it gonna be when you don't know me When I am gone...used to bein' How's it gonna be? Like when the world was all white and pale? Something like the day... We both , were born?

Let's dance to this incoherent beat! Ears cannot hear it, only souls
I wouldn't change a thing As my life spun out of control Lookin' back , I learned alot! I know , now I know... Let my Wings be blackend by the sorrow For I only have, tomorrow! As I slip inside the eye of life I know there is a better place...to play All the games now forsaken Lost inside the tomb of life Once I rambled like the Ivy creeping , crawling up the highway Now my heart is sturdy, steady Gonna grow a new leaf , start a fire... Inside I still have ...desire! Take what life has given me Wonder why it hasn't destroyed me? Lifting up , it's not enough Yet it is plenty for the moment I can endure it! Just being what is real What isn't fake and simple Understanding and Forgiveness These two things... have brought me this!
I Thank One ...for this! | |
