Writing Today's Poem [M -- As a Precaution]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]I want to leave this place,
Of shedding trees,
The scent of chocolate,
The taste of bile.

Where I can walk through halls,
And see every race,
And hear all those voices,
That laugh at anything.

I want to tell him the truth,
That I loved,
And his reactions,
Were hellish in nature.

Where can I run to then,
That will be any different,
From this place,
That is my world.

My father is jobless,
Maybe that's it,
Because I hate change,
And instability.

But here I am,
Surrounded by it,
Drowning in my imperfection,
Strangling my spirit with my own hands.[/COLOR]

[RioLaskand]

I met his new girlfriend today
He's always been around us
but suddenly came in
encroached into our lives
boxing me out

You bastard, you slimy bastard
you snuck in, you took over
you lived our lives
you made it your own
and they are yours now

You better be happy,
you tore from me
my true friends
mi familia,
my pillars of support

And now they are not
who they once were
because of you
why can't you leave?
Why can't we be happy?
I HOPE YOU ARE!

because you have taken
from me the most important
friends of all
You showed me what a harsh world
this world can be
you girlfriend to my friends
and master of their lives

Bastard

[Raiha]

[color=mediumturquoise]I was never one to handle rejection,
But when it's something like this,
That I care not so much about,
It is not so bad.

Not so bad to be turned away,
Brushed to one side like this,
There is definetly more to life,
It isn't my center.

Isn't my center my family?
Caring for me continually,
Supporting me even if I scream,
It something very new.

Something very new will come,
In the mail or in the sky,
And I'll raise my head,
It is a brand new day.[/color]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo][center]The streams of color
in blue and grey
fade away
as the dizziness expels
itself as I swell
and grow to reality
a uniform consciousness
a point without stress
without mass or weight
a circumference I cannot demonstrate
without a protractor
or a prolonged
longing for life
so I hold my breath
seeking resolve but not death
and grow dizzy
until I fade away
amongst streams of blue and grey[/color][/center]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]Dance with me,
Hold my hands,
As we spin endlessly,
Through fire and water.

Sing with me,
Raise your voice,
And turn to face,
The rising aethyr tide.

Laugh with me,
Because we live,
Are we not happy,
And full of life?

Rejoice with me,
There is more,
And it is certainly,
A brand new day.[/COLOR]

it’s late
tonight
it’s late

i feel
tired hands beating
down
on me
pushing over
me

it wants to break
me
i wanna go

go--where they know
wanna go where they know

they know you don’t need to know
they know
you don’t need
to know
but they throw you down
mud, dirt, you’re stained
with their numb

i wanna thaw

sleep
becomes me
sleep becomes me dear
its hand gives me
more pleasure than
yours

sleep
becomes me
sleep becomes me dear
its face gives me
more to eye than
yours

what i see--what i see, how it seems
with eyes stitched closed i see
more-- how it seems the time
goes by faster than it should--
what i see--what i see,

sleep with me
the night will
hug us to
hope that
is
not even
there

the dark will have
an owl who hoos
in the distance

you will have
your eyes
on me

it’s late

it’s late
sleep take me with
your hand
take me with
your hand
it’s late

i’ll dream about the monster
how it’s becoming me

it’s disgusting.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]So here's the deal,
I cut myself,
Or rather,
I did cut myself.

When I was younger,
And so confused,
And angry,
At the world in general.

A simple blade,
From China,
And some classical music,
Setting the mood.

For an angst ridden girl,
To unsheath,
And dig deep into the skin,
Creating wounds.

Scars that pepper,
My left arm,
Like so much sand,
Over a towel.

They've faded now,
And looking back,
I would never raise,
A knife to my skin again.

Things you can't,
Think about seeing now,
All brushed away,
Barely visible now.[/COLOR]

optimist club
it says
on
his
shirt

i won't join
i won't
i won't join that
club

i won't be joining
that club

the shirt
is green
it's green
is green and
it's green like envy.

green like envy

gonna turn me green
with envy,
with envy.

optimists
are those
who
think
the best
is the best is
the best is yet
to yet to

come

optimists
are those
innocent
enough
to still
have
something
worth having

something
worth believing

i won't
i will not
i won't be joining
won't join that
that club

i won't be joining
that club.

the intelligent
are often
the most stupid.

they're the ones
that wanna be green.

we are all such actors
such machines.
we are all such
such we are all such
actors machines.

i wish i was stupid.
i wish i could breathe i wish
i wish i could breathe i wish
i wish i wasn't just another
another machine.

wishing is a
fool's game
i don't believe

don't believe
i do not believe
in stars.

only falling
ones.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Shivering here,
Quite and calm,
Well not really calm,
More like indifferent.

That was some dream,
I had about you last night,
Your phone number,
Playing itself in my head.

My eyes,
They hurt now,
From seeing yours,
Slide past me in the hall.

Why ignore,
I'm always here,
But now that I'm leaving,
This place of shedding trees...

You won't,
Be bothered by me,
And my presence,
Ever again.

Does she,
Give you more than I,
Will she dream,
With you now?

I feel,
But you don't care,
Indifference is certainly,
Your strong suit.

Don't mistake,
My feelings for love,
Ever again please,
Becasue it's not that now.

It's sorrow,
My grief contracting,
But I refuse to seal it,
And forget like you did.[/COLOR]

[b]Quote The Raven[/b]

pick the bones
pick them clean
pick all the flesh
until the ivory?s pristine

and

gouge the eyes
gouge them out
feast on the cheeks
the mouth, the snout

for one crow
may mean sorrow
but a murder is
always nice
it wets my appetite

rip the fingers
rip them off
little lady fingers
are tender and soft

and

pull at the flesh
pull it free
gorge yourself
to obesity

for one crow
may mean sorrow
but a murder is
always nice
it wets my appetite[/color]

[RioLaskand]

The decay and carrion
stench of the dead
burning in droves
their bodies doth light
the corridors of black

wiped out by an empire
the species of man
now lay in their blood
painting their faces
now charred by the flame

I gaze upon this flame of death
burning cancerous pathogens
protecting me and my life
I gaze...
and I weep

[Dagger]

You purchased something gentle with that smile,
or else pursued a different course.
Condescension does not become us.
Rather, it was the brush of equal minds,
one thought doubly spoken and reflected in two faces.
Your enigmatic eyes,
odd habits like the friendly kiss and loud flirtation;
I preferred silence with the heat of sun-warmed hair,
loose amidst my disbelieving fingers.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]I slide through images,
That I can't even remember,
And I tilt my eyes,
Upward to the ceiling.

A hand strokes my hair,
My legs slide over the sheets,
I arch my back,
And I dream about change.

Unstable is this place,
Where I find myself,
And tender are these feelings,
That course my being.

I am not angry,
I am a little afraid,
But chaos that is my life,
Is not so bad after all.

Everything will move,
And resettle,
And reinovate again,
But why worry.

Sleep is
a bone cushion
where many lie
And on its mouth
there is a sucking
Lover called time

So kissing
its mouth
i found
myself down
south
Where many
things
very private do lie
and I found
sleep is a bone
we all have to pick
and quick
or else we'll fall
and landing on our fingertips
feel broken sharded like glass
never knowing,never showing
our naked forms' rash
to another's trash

and throwing it all (away as it is)
sleep robs us (since we begin)
and there is,over,a lady who i know
who has some things quaint to show me:
with her soft hands and her breasts
i will suck the white milk of it all,
falling to the ground,herthighs to mine,
her hands all over me,we shall be animals
the world it cannot steal this now

we'll fall asleep somehow:
for who is to say
i do not already slumber?
Only a fool,who,with his shut eyes
does not see.
for the fool,he is me.
for the fool,he is reality.
she only she can release me
she only she (can release me)
from this reality

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]My love,
Dear heart,
Goes out to you,
And my thoughts.

Turn towards,
Only you,
Here in this day,
I laugh aloud.

The trees,
So green,
And full of life,
Dip and sway.

I could,
Drown here,
In your perfect love,
And not care.

And I,
Thinking about,
Your sweet warm kisses,
Melt into shadows.

Then flare,
Into fire,
Burning me up now,
Raising my soul.[/COLOR]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]all your dirty secret secrets
and your sweet little lies
let?s wrap them up in a present
let?s wrap them up in disguise

and all your blatant preconceptions
and your concept connections
let?s tie them up with some ribbon
let?s tie them up with misdirection

it will be a bomb, baby
an epic explicit explosion
it will be a bomb, baby
it will blast them away

all your coordinated complications
and your fixated adoration
let?s put it in a letter
let?s send an invitation

it will be a bomb, baby
an infinite implosion
it will be a bomb, baby
it will blast them away

let?s wrap it up like a present
let?s wrap it up in bows
let?s sign a nice hallmark card
and wrap it up in shards
of pieces of our oblivion

and it will be a bomb, baby
an infinite implosion
it will be a bomb, baby
it will blast them away
[/color]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]I'm draging,
My feet through the door,
Just to crawl up,
And find a million words.

Words that clench,
Gripping me,
Tugging me,
Then I break lose.

I fly up,
Look down,
And I hear screaming,
Something loud.

Little sister,
I don't have time,
To name your animals,
With you.

Let it go,
Give that back,
Step away,
Those are mine!

Scream at me again,
Try me,
Force my hand,
I'll break your neck.

Wait here,
Stop me someone,
Hold that thought,
I'm not insane.

I'm fine,
I'm not burned out,
I don't hate you sister,
Just leave me for a time.[/COLOR]

bleeder yawn
shuts eyes sews shut
see redroseblossoms only
REM sleep taking
pupils make love
grabbing handles
build doors
knock on door
down fall
the lashes
hug themselves
over the side
cocoon mind
longest tree
where dreams spring
is waggling a monster
whose hand
is on its heart
rapid eye movemnt
for your
part

let go
choke hold to my parts
let go
choke hold to my parts

feeling fell apart
the feeling fell apart
choked me monster
eyes were bloodshot
with gun with bullets
of blood
bloodshot choke
then there's eyes
in the bushes
in the forest
of the trees
where lives
me on raw knees
sick wicked things

i'm a thing
alien singing
dreams fall
from the shooting
bloodshot sky
the monster is I

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]Feel the rush,
Four Gs slamming your gut,
Then rushing out,
Your trachea ripping open.

Full throated roar,
Tearing from your throat,
As you hurl,
Sixty miles an hour.

Through the place,
Where thousands come,
To find release,
And coast along.

Magnetic charges,
Hang upside down,
Don't panic,
Have a nice day.[/COLOR]

[font=Verdana][size=1]I wrote something today

It sang melodies and minums

And the world stopped and stared

[color=indigo]I was just thinking about this thread the other day, wondering if I could/should/would bring it back.

Met a girl, fell in love
When she spoke, my heart just froze
But you know how the story goes

Went to school, saw a show
Born too young, lived too old
It's been so long since I've told
But I'll tell you again
If you will, we'll meet again

My heart still screams
I don't want to let fate win
You're fading away
And I'm dying again
I still love you so
Won't you let me come in?
Don't kill me.

Here I stand, it's all I am
I'll give you my heart if you'll give me your hand
Let me hold on till it's too much to stand
Don't ask too much
I have nothing more to give.

do not iron while wearing,
