I've got yours, I've got mine.

Sink your hand back into your pocket
what you want, you know I've got it
don't wish to pay me? Well, that's fine
I've got yours, I've got mine
Won't take no for an answer, that being said
don't pay for your goods, better off dead
Not enough money, nothing for you
Have to pay to live, to make it through
So reach a little deeper, grab a little more
I'll give you what I've got if I know you're for sure
Want to know, need to tell
Bluff and then you're destined for hell
Turn your back, little boy, leave for good
Don't need your kind in my neighbourhood
Ain't got the guts, I ain't got the time
I've got yours, I've got mine.

Post Slice Blues

Hurts to walk
yeah, so I still sit all day
long
hours not counted
not wasted
so precious earlier, yet
now in abundance

Yeah, I still sit and I wonder
what I'm going to do
with it all

And the answer
each day
the same as before

So if it hurts to move
and it hurts to think
too much time on my hands
to know what to do with
And, yet, besides all that
I'm still happy

Why is it people say
I have the

"Post Slice Blues"

- Author's note: Heh. Yeah, it sure sucks to be me, right? +15xp to the person who can figure out what it is I'm talking about.

Tear Drops

Show me a truth that I didn’t know
Breathe me an answer filled with woe
Make me weep and let memories flow

Drain the waters of sorrow and pain
Wash away bloodstains like a summer’s rain
Hold nothing back don’t let the suffering remain

Each teardrop glistens as it falls
It shines because it’s free from all

Sing me to sleep to a land of old
Where trouble doesn’t follow and it never gets cold
Comfort me in arms of love and care
I need you now like I need the air
Whisper to me softly, like a prayer

Tell that you will never let go
Wrap me up like new blanket of snow
Mold me to be strong like I was dough
Then set me free to do what I know.

Some of you may have noticed that I've not posted for a while. Thats because I've been away. But don't worry. Osterbaum still posts in this thread. And not just these things, but poems too.

There will be some long pauses though now that school starts again. Expect my next poem some time next week. Just FYI.

Lost the Remote

TV Remote Oh TV Remote where art thou
Lost are you to me and lost truely you are I vow
Come not to me if ye thinks me fool
I am your master and you are my tool
Twas fate that bound you to mine hand
Forever shall ye change channels from across the land
If it be-ith my command ye shall make yonder TV Roar
Or silence it instantly to make sound no more
Where are you now that I cannot find
Show yourself because without you I'm in a great bind

Osterbaum · 08-07-2004, 01:06 PM

Give hate a budge

Forever you try to make me fall
Try to make me fail
I still will stand happy and tall
Like a dog, wag my tail

For I don't hold a grudge
I don't want to
All it does, is give hate a budge(like a push...right? me talk english good...)
And that, I will not do

My lates work. For some time actually. Atleast it seems like that, It's because I haven't had acces to the computer and I'm at my best at poetry when I write with my very own PC. I really don't know why...Creepy.

For every word you haven't said
another thought lurks in my head
for every thing you want to say
another worry heads my way

Why do you turn away from me?
Those tears, (I wasn't meant to see)
but to see that pain within your eyes
Was I the cause of your demise?

For every time you stop to think
I find myself upon the brink
For every wish that you hold back
I find myself losing the track

Why do you hide away from me?
Empty truths and lies I see
but to know you're hurting deep inside
Was I the cause of your demise?

I wish you'd tell me where I stand
we used to walk hand in hand
Now we're opposite sides of the street
Your eyes dare mine to meet
And you still don't care that it hurts me
To see you suffer, I can't leave it be
So tell me the words you long to tell
Keeping them inside allows you to fail
I can't help you to fly or rise
If you allow me to be your demise.

Oh Lost Night
Oh torment of the lonely darkness
self-imposed
to exorcize these demons
exhale them into the dark night
and leave only the soothing emptiness of zen
To drown them in that most intoxicating draught
the company of friends
Or to nurture them
press them close
and distill from them the bitterness
that when mixed with the sweet turn of phrase
creates the lifeblood of art.

Like saplings in spring
As the camel to water
I see her again.

To ride the swirling maelstrom,
To wield the surging magic,
To hold the blazing fire in my hand,

To be the channel for chaos,
To be the craftsman of dreams,
To be the witness to wonder, unseen worlds before my eyes,

To be the storyteller, the dreamer, the inlet for magic to the world.

(Not that I'd call myself an artist, but when I am inspired to some degree, this is how it feels)
