Color Blind
Bark of a tree
Lost at sea
Knowledge is dead
We only believe
Carved and etched
Wanna bet?
Life is lost
And no one regrets
Out of our minds
Can't find this time
To recreate this primitive lifestyle
Lost in time, but still in the future
Color Blind, past and future
Let's leave this world behind
Go to a greater place
Up in the stars, that land so far
Our minds are burnt out
The light is turned out
We can not see past this disease
Dead angels are flying overhead
I kept my faith until I bled
I don't believe him
Killed our future
What is this thing we call sin?
I kept my faith but the world is dead
Spiders are here, the spiders are red
The color of blood, out of the mud
Where is the tree?
Color blind, it's hard to see
Overlooked, under read
Today is the day and the day is dead
My god won't you send some power
To heal this flower
Open my nostrils so I can smell
Flowers don't grow in the depths of hell
This road I lead is hated by most
We have this parasite and they are the hosts
Born in death
To die today
This world is a worthless dog
And we are blind
But we don't need the dog to lead the way
Take it upon yourself to know the truth and be free today

Heres one of my more recent ones
The bottomless well
A legend of long ago,
So old as to be myth,
The bottomless well.
Feeding the countless thousands,
Quench their thirst.
Friend of all,
Shield against drought
A boy playing with fire,
Can only hurt himself
In a wet land -
Pity him who falls down the well
For the endless descent,
Into drowning in grief,
Is the well within
Repeated darkness rushes by,
Who could ever hear,
His cries undistorted?
Still they drink,
From the well,
Fountain everlasting,
Stream of creation
Flowing waters of death
The illusion of nearness,
Distorted by their life.
An end so close to sight,
Never to be felt
What never hits the earth,
Can never bounce
Falling constantly,
Diffracted vision
Telling me lies
Telling me I see the sky
But this endless descent,
Into drowning in grief,
Is the well within me
My fall never ends
The bottomless well
A legend of long ago,
So old as to be myth,
The bottomless well.
Feeding the countless thousands,
Quench their thirst.

i was dreaming
my soul lay bare
for me to see
unveiled, unmasked
its inner fire
fueled by desire
shone glorious
unseen, unsung
the thought that was her
forged in the flame
i kept close to me
protected, restrained
i caressed my creation
'til the cruel dawn
burnt away the fables
and i fell awake.

Cornered within
hello again and sorry for my absence...i'm back
Staring into silence
Thoughts soared when the day was done
But yet unable to grasp them and forge words
It came with the night soaring restlessly
Voices without faces thrust me into pain
Lost words, emptied, blank staring
Eyes and mouth walking the opposite direction
(The robe I dont remember wearing?)
We are those words we eventually have to share?
Another day behind the facade my body wont bear
Nostalgic meetings embodied in blue
We share nothing but words of escape
Silence with its mere yet firm tone
Engraves the unspoken words in all of us
Vacuous faces unable to see
Silence is choking me
A lone silent man puts his thoughts in words
Overanalysing every single step he takes
Inhaling and absorbing everything He learns
But still finding emptiness in everything he creates
cheers!

at the risk of looking like a dork, i'm going to post these lyrics to the Giant Robot song "leave your man", off the "superweekend" album.
next day cross the street saw her my world froze
keep cool undercover i wonder whether she knows
just a glimpse of her made my day a delight
i wanna slow down get my timing right
i couldnt get my eyes off her lower lip
she had gloss (damn) recover, quick!
when i see you from a distance
all i can say under my breath is shiit
when i hear you talkin listen to your voice and your accent
- you make me wanna get with it
leave your man
i want you but i'm in a bad position
leave your man
guaranteed - moving in the right direction
i wanna discover your touch
touch you in a way thats almost too much
much like the way im looking at your eyes
your eyes shy away look back and smile
this chemical imbalance induced by your presence
i'm burnin for you
this is my confession

Negative Fire
Like a clay pitcher,
Collect the blood-red anger
Store the random rain
The well of this emotion,
To burst and overflow
From time to unclear time,
Wash my eyes in liquid light
Bitter cold white fury,
Unseeing red anger,
Desperately burning rage
Intemperately forged hate
The beacon's glow of my
Railing blinds me
The precipitation does not cool me -
Merely burdens me further,
Driven closer to the painful light
The agonising fire that is me,
The light that sets my soul aflame
Rapes me, blinds me, kills me
Bitter cold white fury,
Unseeing red anger,
Desperately burning rage
Intemperately forged hate
The beacon's glow of my
Emotion, curse of me
Reborn in this instant,
A phoenix's plumage
to burn all who touch me
A volcano's venting,
The burdened mountain's
Coruscating death of me
Bitter cold white fury,
Unseeing red anger,
Desperately burning rage
Intemperately forged hate
The beacon's glow of my
Emotion, death of me
The burning of my burdens,
Lash and share the pain...
This stoked fire,
The death of you and me.

2 obersavtions to be made :
I am more than happy to see this thread more or less alive again after it had been in a coma
how come everybody seems to post something like : this is great but I will never post any of my stuff, it's gutwrenchingly terrible and all your poetry neurons will fall out disgusted when you read it or preface their first contribution (mark this, and mind it) with such a phrase.

and here we go again
FRACTURE MY MIND!
You and me
we were building a tower
up to the clouds and we thrust into space
tasting the devil, so sweet and sour
drifting around in some dreamlike haze
whiter than ivory
twisted in extascy
all rose and purple coloured glass
a sacrifice at a black mass
like puppets dancing on a string
we scream and moan and laugh and sing
but there's a tiny point that's not quite obvious
and you're oblivious
to the piper that's playing the tune for this dance
and like a snake in a trance
you follow his every command
right to the end
and the end is at hand
and this is what you get from me
this is all you'll get for free
come navigate my private sea
and set my fucking ego free
I hunger for fidelity
you offer but complacency
I taste you once, I taste you twice
you taste my offering of lies
but I never lied, yet it's untrue to you
it's what you believe and it's what I do
the very words spoken, their meanings unfold
along different pathways at once new and old
what you call love I call affection

and when you come across her
tell her you know me
tell her I told you
to say hello
tell her she was life in death
tell her about my hunger
tell her not to worry
that I am doing fine
tell her of rainy mondays
tell her that I'm still here
tell her that nothing lasts forever
that endings must be
tell her of ruffled sheets
tell her that the morning still comes
though it comes alone now
unkissed
tell her that I miss her
tell her about lost lovers
tell her my only secret
and that I still curl in that red and black sheet
tell her I remember her eyes
ask her if she remembers mine
tell her about the fairy spark
and that I'm doing fine
when you come across her
don't mind my words
and listen to her whispers
what she promises, she can deliver
tell her you know me
tell her I told you
to say hello
tell her she was life in death
tell her about my hunger
tell her not to worry
that I am doing fine
tell her of rainy mondays
tell her that I'm still here
tell her that nothing lasts forever

Nice stuff mate....
Anyway, heres my effort
Incomplete
To labour under false pretensions,
Is our lot
We lied, and said it was whole,
It never was
The fearsome light of the intellect
Never saw the way clear
Tales told, of forts,
As strong as the rocks.
A childs bitterness
At the fairy tale
This frail servant
Of our will was never
But incomplete
We only admit our deceit,
When it comes tumbling down,
The failure laid heavy
Upon our agony
Only to learn,
Only to know,
When it breaks
Colossal our pain,
The punishment of our flaws
Curse in vain this fate,
As we rebuild what
Is incomplete
Must we challenge the universe,
To ever be whole?
Are we fated for a maiming?
Our destinies charted, taking
us into the name of the broken
A uniqueness based solely
On these frailties and flaws
Bitterness based on what
Well never do, never be
More than incomplete
For why does this leg,
Not support us wholly?
Why does the eye,
See only darkness?
Your answer is incomplete
The agent of our striving,
Struggling mightily to
no avail - the lull
Of normality doesnt forget
How incomplete we are
