The worm.

I warned you,
You didn't listen,
I told you truths,
you ignored me.
I showed you,
You attacked me.
A Cassandra,
That I may be,
but you are a fool.

leopard's spots don't change.
The season's regardless.
life some things are certain,
Some are unworthy of trust.

My goals are met,
My time grows shorter,
I diminish,
go into shadow,
flea the darkness,
The unworthy rule,
I wish to go,

I'm tired of drama,
manufacturing so much,
do you ever sleep now?
seeking praise in ether,

You grow fat on your undeserved worship.

Funka Genocide · 02-20-2005, 01:54 PM

Maybe I just didn't love you
quite so much as I had thought
and destinies an answer
to a question we can't ask
and maybe all these dreary dreams
are just dust before a storm, yeah
and all the maybes I can give
couldn't keep a promise in the wind

[chorus]
so if you took all of your maybes
and you put 'em in a pile
do you think you'd get a smile?
not so bright as the one...
not so bright as the one...
not so bright as the one...

maybe I am just a selfish fool
who took all that I needed from you
and bitterness is really cool
while images define us
but then again
always then again
maybe the fool has it right
never asked the stars above
and wasn't smart enough to give up

[chorus]
so if you took all of your maybes
and you put 'em in a pile
do you think you'd get a smile?
not so bright as the one...
not so bright as the one...

not so bright as the one, time
you smiled at me and said hello
smiled at me and said hello

hello

.................................................. ............

this is a love song, in case anyone was wondering. I fell in love, a few times, but none quite so vibrant as the first time, as I'm sure most can attest to.

"Try again"

You "tried" again
But only as far
As you could throw

You "tried" again
You raised the bar
You said you let go

You "tried" again
Justice bringer you are
Share what you know

You "tried" again
Not up to par
Walk away to show

...that you lied again.

Demon with a Glass Hand · 02-20-2005, 09:52 PM

Watch me whine.
Bitch.
Complain.
Watch me do it all again.

If words (my poetry)
were breasts,
this is me fumbling
with inexperienced fingers.

Watch me whine.
Bitch.
Complain.
Watch me do it all again.

If this situation (though, I'm not involved)
were as big as I make it,
its gravity would have crushed you by now.

Watch me whine.
Bitch.
Complain.
Watch me do it all again.

If I meant as much to you (dream as I may)
as much as he does,
maybe I wouldn't be doing this.

Watch me whine.
I opened up to you!
Why couldn't you reciprocate?!
Bitch.
Why did you fuck with me like that?
This isn't over yet!
Complain
You hurt me, and others, with your
foul existence!
I'm going to dissapear, and then you'll care!
Watch me do it all again.
This isn't over yet! Not over!
My words will get to you! And you will suffer!
As I have suffered.

My proud words.
Empty.
Worthless.
I'm not who I think I am.
They're right about me.

But I'm going to involve myself again!
But I'm going to demand to be recognized again!
But I'm going to hurt myself all over again!

But I'll blame you.

I'm not who I think I am.
They're right about me.
I'm just a dumb guy.

Watch me whine.
Bitch.
Complain.
Watch me do it all again.

I never learn.

Just a dumb guy.

Oh crap - the milk is
past its expiration date
Must consume it soon...

Yeah, don't mind me. I was just thinking about writing a poem, and noticed the above fact.

Krylo · 02-20-2005, 10:22 PM

You know... I made a post... a few... million pages back that was something like "Knock that drama shit off."

Poetry is all fine and good. Emotion is all fine and good.

However, I'm tired of hearing the equivalent of, "Daddy! _____ called me a name!" I'm tired coming here to see that it's been going back and forth. I'm tired of fucking internet drama from fucking teenagers who can't get their penises and/or vaginas aligned right.

Demon. You're warned. Maybe it's not common knowledge that JADGuy means Just Another Dumb Guy, or, further, all the other things in that little poem that make it even MORE obvious you're talking about him--but I know all these things.

JAD, you're also warned.

The fucking drama is giving me a headache. I'd go back further and see who else is involved, but damnit, I already need a tylenol.

Everyone just shut up, sit down, and write nice little poetry that isn't targetting other people's emotions. If you need to write poetry about other members of the community use your own webspace and give people links outside the forum, or e-mail it to them, or something.

You both know better.

Neither of you message or PM me or complain because I'm your friend and betrayed your or something equally inane.

I'm also a mod, and for chrissake you, again, BOTH know better.

Edited to add:

SA, if your poem was about the same situation/a reply to JAD's poem to dig at you, and I find out, consider yourself warned too.

Someone has to have the maturity to not reply to that kind of crap when it happens or it just keeps going. Obviously that maturity is lacking here and that's why I stepped in.

Edited again to add: SA is warned. She fessed up and accepted it.

...I'm tempted to let her slide JUST for that, but I'm also in a pissy mood about having to deal with this. So no.

Edit yet once more:

Also SA=BMG!=BlackMageGirl!

It's her AIM screen name. I tend to use it more than her username. I forgot I was typing to some people who might not know that.

***RaiRai*** · 02-21-2005, 12:56 PM

His fury knows no bounds.

I would write a poem out of that, but I'm stumped.

So instead I give you my most recent 'I write in my sleep' poem.

Like a flower in the rain
(Wash away wash away)
broken petals down a drain

The colors of my pain
(fade away fade away)
Until I'm left bare again

---

And as an additional note. All personal attacks on forum members I see made in poetry form (Yes, I can generally read into them enough to know who you're talking about) will be deleted and you will be temp-banned. You pissed Krylo off enough, and he shouldn't have to deal with this, so you'll answer to me. Bwah.

Dona Maria · 02-21-2005, 02:12 PM

I came up with this at a hippy-esque party on Valentines. They all thought it was great.

Thy delicate flower thou must protect
From wonton phallics and neglect.
But if ye should not remember thine,
Come to me and visit mine.

I think the spur of the moment old english made them laugh the most.

BlackMageGirl! · 02-21-2005, 04:25 PM

"A game"

I sit here once again, pondering
Wondering which move to take
Make most of what I've got
Not to slight the captured ones
Sons to those on the board
Soared across at finger touch
Much to decide in my turn
Learn the defenses, so to speak
Seek the flaws in this design
It's fine, it seems my pawns will fall
Winners thrall, I move her across the slate

Checkmate.

Cloud Strife · 02-23-2005, 09:01 PM

The sun is setting slowly now,
Behind the hills far west,
The trees are barren, frozen now;
Nature is in arrest.

A lonely hawk circles above,
Scouting its next meal,
Will find that there is no love,
Nor meat for it to steal.

The lights come on, one by one,
Illuminate the night.
The people safe, darkness shunned,
Huddle 'round the light.

Life goes on, so unrelenting,
Forgiving, it is not.
But something's gone, now preventing
Love from being brought...

A search begins, to go and find
what has been lost.
But it's soon apparent that the mind
Covered it with frost.

So, turning 'round and coming back,
They bring it to the fire.
And give it now what had been lacked,
A hero's funeral pyre.
