The Iceman Cometh by ~NemoX7

Voices In My HeadWhen you go
The yelling begins
As I scream for my voice
The brokenness continues
I can’t find my breath

I hold myself
As if I am to blame
For something I never did

The violence goes with it
Telling them to stop what they are doing

But getting the whole family involved
The feud just makes me lost

I’m not apart of the argument
But the words within the sentences
Are hurting and they continue to grow

Tears fall
And I feel so trapped

They act like this is nothing
When I’m apparently to blame

No-one was at fault to begin with
But, the war got out of hand

It breaks this soul
And it destroys my wings

I fall sky-rocketing Voices In My Head by ~XxPinkSparklesxX

Here and There, Now and ThenBurnt umber dawn, swaying electric trees
Thousands of souls chant in the summer wind
Journals of the dead are read by schoolchildren
They awake shaking someone else's dreams from their heads

Static electricity on the nape of your neck
In the television, on your phone, in your dinner
The calling of a murder of crows from the trees
You remember the view from the hospital room window

A smorgasbord of life and limb, death and decay
The antiseptic smell has an undercoating of rot and dirt
Talismans won't work any more than prayers and candles
Soldiers still fight lost wars, glory in the faded night

Tall fences are built to keep the worlds separHere and There, Now and Then by =Bark

Conceivable Conclusions.Conceivable Conclusions.

Maybe we fall because we know we can
And we stall when it comes to a helping hand.
Because we refuse to accept and to understand.
That a man would be willing to aid another man,
Without some sort of under hand, profitable plan.

Maybe we project our perceptions on to others.
Quotes that emerged and persevered by our mothers.
Home truths that we go on to eventually discover.
Making it the only way we can connect with each other.
Spurring us to find like minded friends, associates and lovers.

Maybe we lie because the truth is too bitter to bear.
We are inclined to believe that others do actually care.
And that thConceivable Conclusions. by *KelaLewis-Morin

Echoes Across the Night SkyLike broken babes with no homes your cries echo out into the night
yet only darkness you see because you search so hard to find the light
When I look at the moon and stars and see a heritage in me as old as time itself
Why is it then when you peer into the night you see only objects?!
Insufficient glowing objects to be classified and categorized
The heavens are vast, there is no end
because there was never a beginning
Is this confusing to you?
Then maybe you've become too complicated
for the meaning to you ends with you (simply)
I am the silent one because I choose to observe the world in its neutrality
A favor neither one nor the other
For I have learned without the Sun the Moon would never shine
and nor would I
My roots are deep because I know where to plant them
Without saying a word I point the way
Subtle as the wind yet strong enough to move a mountain
I suppose I really am nothing more than a fool.Echoes Across the Night Sky by =WiNGz69

WakefulI remain awake with dreams on my mind
and stories that wait to be knit into books.
To never find comfort until my pillows are
stuffed with thoughts instead of feathers
To never let go until I made sure that
the moon smiled back at me
Until the trees, the grass, and every night creature
has whispered good night...
And yet I'm still as wakeful as an owl
afraid that sleep would somehow
grab my neck and drag me to my grave.Wakeful by ~TheLaughingDreamer

Apologies To Wystan, He Understands AnastayshaShe was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working weeks feelings,
and evenings reveries.
At wakenings, Noons, afternoons
and evenings reveries my song;
I thought that love would last
without end for ever: I was wrong.

The same stars I saw and discoursed with
are not wanted now: put out every one of those;
Pack up that moon and dismantle that sun;
Pour away that ocean of feeling, and visions
and cut those mighty old trees that surrounded us
For nothing now from those streams
can ever come to any good.Apologies To Wystan, He Understands Anastaysha by *dofaust

In this imperfect cityThere I sing a mourners song,
to chant these hollow lyrics,
though out the word my death unknown,
in these defective cities.

With tears that burn of acid rain,
to wet my so parched throat,
its wicked burning I do desire,
upon my panting tongue.

For hollow eyes do see no men,
and shattered ears do hear no sin,
such a heart does pass no love,
along the beaded veins.

And crippled hands do still just reach,
towards a setting sun,
that snickers as it passes by,
to rest the holy son.

On shaky feet I once did stand,
upon a land that was not mine,
to live out days of a simple design,
until I’d met my end.

For now I rest in a shallow grave,In this imperfect city by ~CrazyLilBit

The Vortex Of Me by ~NemoX7

We are the King and Queen of Broken DreamsStanding still in a mine field, staring at all we have left.
We were so young, we didn’t stop to think.
Now we’re in a car crash, teetering on the brink.
If you were to leave me now, I don’t know what I’d do.

It was a whirl wind romance,
A light when all was black, a spark of something when all was bleak.
You swept me off my feet and made me feel brand new.
I thought we could live forever and I’m certain you did to.

We built a house without foundations
And now we’re falling down,
Everything’s crumbling around us, time slipping through out fingertips.
People used to walk past us but they were to drunk to see,
That our lives are coming apart around us, there is no light as far as we can see.

There was no fire to start with,
Just two broken things, the world had left behind.
The casualties of other people’s dreams of power, money and control,
Spat out onto the curb to rot away and die.
We never stood a chance or soWe are the King and Queen of Broken Dreams by ~indigoXD9

A Tree that is MeA Tree that is Me

"Yes,
I guess
you know best,
but why don't
I trust in
instructions
you gave?
I don't feel
hurt
'cause you gave me that
help,
but I don't feel
clappy
sappy
happy
I feel like a tree
a tree
that is me
I can see other
trees
and see all I see
but I've got no
feet
and I've got no love
all I have
is a tree
that is me
but I do have feet
so
why only can I
see?
Why am I not
free?
We use feet
to meet
but I haven't met
and I've got no love
just myself
and I'm a bum
"Don't worry"
you've said
"It will come"
but I do worry
and it hasn't come
and I see all the trees
but they can't see
me
sometimes it drives me
mad
and I've got no love

LSD Grin

Electrified, grinned, bucked pearls sizzle
LSD's grin, potential philosopher's grin
Expand eternally philosopher!
Great pioneer of Earthly heavens and hells!
Drink of the nectar of life!
Boiling between gum and cheek
Great gulps of what... sanity?
Insanity?
We're not lost
We exist
Loving and sewing
Seeds
Along the path we walk leading... where?
To dissolve... dissolve... dissolve
Miscarriage into the breathing cosmos of Self!
Fattening Self loving Self Self centered
We are the bloated Sun of our perception
Living finite in the infinite Now
Now! Now! Poet, you always speak of Now!
Now is our eternal joy! Eternal destruction!
Guzzled hungrily bLSD Grin by ~nostrovia-poetry

A Strange Kind of LoveHeld close by four walls;
One door, our exit.
We sit and listen
To the music flow.
I smile as you sing
to your favorite tune;
You gaze affectionately when I laugh,
Completely enthralled.
Other people stop and stare
When they enter our sacred space.
They do not comprehend how two such as us
Can blend so smoothly together.
There is nothing that can change us,
How we interact.
We fight through it all;
Our issues always resolve.
It is natural for us to want to be close.
Skin to skin contact will be our demise
For when we connect our blood burns high
With passion no one can understand.
You are mine where I am faithfully yours.

I AM WHO I AM!I am Bisexual
Don't like it?
Good for you
cause I dont care what you think

I am Gothic

I am A nerd
but who gives a shit?

Cause I will NEVER change

NOT yours to control

So don't bother judging me
cause I don't care what you think

The Ivories Around Our HeartsMusic leaks like air from punctured tires
from behind closed doors.
he presses pen to paper once more, bleeding passion
and puts fingers to the keys again --
he shoots his fingers from the keys again
toward his fevered brow, to scratch away the sweat:
he blames the itching,
the lighting, the dripping, the breathing --
freezing. his ear aches for sweet sustenance,
inspiration hangs in the atmosphere
just out of reach of his grasping cadence
and the endless refrain of thoughts inside his head --
where ideas form like the eye of a storm
and crash and melt until all are one.
can we write anew, or shall we only etch again
the tired rings of our human vinyl souls...?
So the man pulled up his creaky floorboards,
tossed the nails aside
and dug deep inside his misty memories --
there it floated like a sleepy moth.
he plucked it out of its suspension
and with it, he wrote his final chord.The Ivories Around Our Hearts by ~AMWeitz

Come To MeIt is my will that you are mine.
I will you to me,
Right in this moment.
You are more than worthy.
Come now,
Fold yourself into my body,
Your lines into mine,
Until we are one.
We will share the same soul,
The same sun.
And when it is nighttime
You can be my star,
The one I wish upon.
You can be the star that guides me home,
Home to where you are.
I can be
Your everything,
Your light, your love.
Just come to me now
While we still have time.
You know the way
To my heart.
Follow your love there.
It is the path not taken.
Find me.
I am waiting for you.
I will wait for as long as it takes.
I have forever

Nature Weeps (poem edition)

Armed with chainsaws and machinery
i invade your sanctuaries.
My heart is set on destroying your land.

For i have come to chop down
and not replant.
I have come to use
and not replenish.

For i am man
and who can stop me.
I come in the name of industrialisation.
I come to take and build vast nations.

O nature submit to my bloody will.
Why doth thou try to resist the enevitable.
Your forests will become wastelands.
Your green leaves, smoltering ash.

Each day i will pollute you.
I will dump chemicals in your rivers.
i will fill the air with toxic gases.
i will disfigure the face of the land.

So weep, nature, weep.
Weep for Nature Weeps (poem edition) by ~DEANJENO--art

WhyWhy wear a mask when all it does is melt
You can be yourself instead
Why use apostrophes when you can have forever
They just stop you mid thought
Why question what doesn't always work
When you can be happy with what is
Why wish to be grounded when you can fly
Just lift your arms and try
Why try to be someone you are not
You are beautiful just as you are
Why play the game when the rules are undefined
Life is more fun to be lived in honest ways
Why run when you can walk
Why not stop and smell the beauty of todayWhy by ~chewyraezen

Best Friend or NotI'm talking to you, yes you, the one that's staring at me right now
And I ask you if you remember me
Then, as I expected, you shake your head 'no'
You know, I'm that blonde girl you used to hang around
The one you used to call "Best friend"?
Still nothing? You've got to remember, you left me for my sister
You were my best friend, we used to be so close
Then that summer came, the summer that was more than a bummer
Well, for me anyway
You know, the one where we stopped talking?
Well, it was my fault I guess, I was going through a lot
I wonder if you would have cared
I tried to talk to you again at school, but I guess I was still upsBest Friend or Not by ~SingerOfTheNight

Running in ReverseYou're standing at the finish line,
watching saccharine snowflakes settling
on the ground in front of you,
sweetening it as if it were the black coffee
you couldn't bring yourself to drink.

What's beneath it?

You aren't sure, but your feet are bare
and your fingers are frozen
and you find yourself terrified
that if you step forward you'll be cut,
so you fall backwards – one step, two,
and soon you're chasing the clock,
trying to convince it to chime in reverse,
so you can run a race against yourself
back to the starting line,
just to see how fast you can go.

Before you realize it,
you're at the beginning lookiRunning in Reverse by *commonstrosity
