it's easy to tell
that some are ill
-they cough
-they sneeze
and when they breathe
-they hack
-they weeze
then there are some
that just cry
-all night
-all day
or only fantasize
-about children
-while they play

broken dreams

just cheap cards,
with cheaper words-
a cunning trio

the golden fruit
from within your castle;
leaving you to
stand there in disbelief,
yelling then sobbing
into the telephone.
how easily lies slipped
from slick lips
shatter the fragile.
mediocre thoughts
traverse the synapses;
discarded,
swirling into
the dark abyss
of forgetfulness.
like someone took a shit
on some not-so-white
ivory throne--
piss-stained yellow
from splashing
golden waterfalls.
drops that
just didn't quite make it
into the collective pool;
forever lost from
consciousness--
until another urine stream
is born
from a bladder filling bottle
shattered against
an unforgiving wall;
leaving behind
a cascade of sharp edges:
incandescent thoughts
everyone applauds.
leaving you with
memories of that
piss stained yellow throne.

when the bossman comes calling
when the bossman comes calling,
will you be ready?
take a walk up them stairs
to the palace,
with crystal chandeliers.
when the bossman comes calling,
for you to join the party,
inviting you to take a break
and kick it with cobain,
it's easy to forget
what's really at stake.
when the bossman comes calling,
he'll tell you exactly what to do.
make some lines,
cap some holes-
shouldn't be hard for you.
when the bossman comes calling,
what will you decide?
it's either a yes or no
to a one way trip-
a magic carpet ride.
when the bossman comes calling,
it's hard to refuse.
such an offer can blind you,

we are tired:
of the war,
of the hunger,
of the kids-
that smile no longer.
we are tired:
of the lies,
of the propaganda,
of the religion-
that can't leave them be.
we are tired:
of being lost,
of wandering,
of not knowing-
who we are.
we are tired:
of searching,
of looking,
of not finding...
any peace.
(verse I)
hey girl
just so you know
I was waiting
then life moved on
pushed me along
and drove another dream of mine
away
but don't you worry
i've already cried my tears
i cried away all the pain
'cause
(chorus)
I was waiting
for a day that never came
I was waiting
to feel your voice
make love to my ear
I was waiting
but the pain became
too much to bear
(verse II)
now all I feel is numbness
in every vein
so don't you worry
i'm gonna be ok
and if you come
crawling back
I won't be waiting here
so don't even pack
'cause
(chorus)
(verse III)
then waiting went
from so right
to so wrong
and the feelings I had
q
looking out the window
at the drops falling to the ground.
there's a kid standing there;
tears fall but he makes no sound.
he just stands
caught in the rain.
trying to wash away
all of his pain.
he just wanted to be free.
but you didn't understand,
you were unable to see,
how much pain you were causing.
now he's been pushed too far.
now you've gone too far.
now he going to end this for real.
he just wanted a chance to live,
just needed a chance to see.
who it was was
that he wanted to be.
but now it's over,
he's not crying anymore.
now it's over,
he dosen't feel the pain anymore.
now it's over,
he won't see a sunrise
The fates about to be sealed
Upon an airy battlefield
Peer through a silent mist
As tension broils the air.
Suddenly, with a bright flare
Comes a clash of thunderous fist
And as we cower and hide,
Upon grey chariots they collide.
Great gods gathered to slay
And wage war in the gloom.
Only after many meet their doom
Do they end their bloody fray.
It is then that they wonder why,
Their tears falling from the sky.
The day I die,
Will be like all the rest.
Some will surely cry,
Others will laugh and jest.
Just remember as I lie,
Hands crossed over my chest,
That the day I die,
Isn\'t the end of my quest.
Shhhh…
Do you listen when the winds blow
Do you hear our voices from the past
Muffled from the ages they are buried below
Asking you, \"does our memory last?\"
Yes, I listen when the winds blow
I hear your voices from the past
I remember you from ages ago
You can rest in peace at last
Shhhh…
Two mountains stood tall
Awaiting the coming fall
As four birds took flight
One bird landed in a field
And there it dug
Its own grave
Another landed on a boulder
with five points
Forever scarring it in its flight
Two birds landed on the mountains standing tall
The extra weight causing them to fall,
Crushing those within their walls
But out of the ash and dust there rose
A great eagle which flew up, and froze
Where it cried out to all who could hear.
No bombs or planes can destroy
That which makes our nation great
It\'s not our mountains, boulders, or planes.
It\'s our spirit, a spirit of freedom
And that you can never, wil
The sun dies, the moon hides
But bright is the darkness all around me
When compared to a void as dark as the one in my heart
That causes this pain within me
A pain so deep, outward it seeps
Sucking my happiness from me
My angel can cure this pain I endure
Only if she again loved me
For no joy will I know no life will I sow
Until my angel again loves me
The moon rises
As the sun sets
A restless mind wanders
Probing murky depths
It is seeking knowledge
But finds simple truth instead
And then it realizes
And finally accepts
That the moon never rises
And the sun never sets
Life\'s so sad
You gave it all you had
Got nothing left to give
Now how the hell are you gonna live
But tomorrow the sun will rise
Shine light on your eyes
And I\'ll be there
To save you from despair
Loves so sad
Makes you so damn mad
Always seems so grand
Then it dissolves into sand
But tomorrow the sun will rise
Shine light on your eyes
And i\'ll be there
To save you from despair
Deaths so sad
Why do you want it so bad?
Its not worth your life
You wanna end with that knife
But tomorrow the sun will rise
Shine light on your eyes
And I\'ll be there
To save you from despair
Yeah, the sun will always ri
How\'s this gonna end
Doesn\'t anybody know
Is she gonna stay
Is she the one
Or is she gonna go
Is this gonna fade away
So many questions
So very uncertain
I wish I knew
What the answer was
I wish I knew
What\'s in store for us
I wish I could
Lift this shroud
But I can\'t
I\'m not god
I guess I\'ll just
See how this goes
Play it out
Until the end
I hope this is truly love
I hope you stay
If you left it would
Break me to pieces
Don\'t ask me why
I don\'t want to voice
These thoughts in my head
I just don\'t wanna die
No never again
Been dead for so long
Now I feel so alive
So happy inside
All because of you
It had huge jaws
And razor claws
Big red eyes
That turned things into french-fries
It had green and black hair…
Then, caught in a snare,
A child\'s imagination is killed
And in its place is instilled,
By those at fault,
The ways of an adult

You imagined this scenario, this "not falling in love" thing, but it came to reality a little differently than you had planned. Youre home in Sacramento, a numb city laden with a familiar ennui, which insists upon you like a down comforter. There is a reason you left Sacramento: when you ask a passing pedestrian what there is to do for fun around here, they say, "there's a park downtown where you can take a tour of the trees." "Trees?" "Yeah. About 90 different varieties. Its really enthralling." You scan their face for some physical tic which might indicate sarcasm, but you find not

In a picture of you, black and white in 1960
and dull red, shadow-cast in sepia, with age,
you have scarred your nine year-old eyebrow
in a frightening Never-Jump-on-the-Bed epic,
which has long since been eaten away by acid
because you never bound it in tissue paper
like Mother always instructed from the kitchen.
Your Ozarkian history always narrates in swells,
slighted twangs sticking, dangling in the air
like the exotic opera-pluck of the Chinese falsetto.
Tips For The Novice
It's an all-too common occurrence on my periodic forays into the world of internet poetry - writing weakened by a lack of fundamental knowledge concerning the essence of poetry writing. There are no rules set in stone about creative writing. The writer that strikes new trails can make a lasting impact on the world of poetry, but the chances of a writer stumbling upon golden words without a solid knowledge base are slim to none. The following tips for novice writers are intended to help shore up those fundamentals, to help the young writer breathe the essence of life into their poems, and to better share that essence with

Today i am unmotivated to do anything and that would be fine, except that today is like every other day. Where has my motivation gone? I have a sneaky suspicion it gets flushed away with the morning crap...

'Ello. I classify you as a literary deviant. As such, you qualify for a watch, as long as you respond. I am trying to round up as many writers as possible, because we simply don't get enough recognition. So we will have to give each other recognition instead. So if you comment me, I'll do the same for you. I make it a matter of pride to leave in depth critiques, and value my DevFriends.
What do you think?
(please note that I am away this week - so it might be a little while before I get back to you)
Hi to you as well.
I haven't been for any length of time lately.
I've been working everyday and then playing on my weekends.
My laptop is still being funny so I can't put anything new on my site. It's in the computer guys hands right now though so maybe some time soon you can see the 10 billion photos I've taken since I last submitted.
I'm working with the soap lady again.
hmm I don't think much else is new.
I have to go to the dentist today and that's not happy. But I am brining my Zappa so at least my ears will be pleased.
