here's a new one that is still a work in progress but it steals two lines from SP songs haha. format's all wrong but the line breaks are the same

The Soft Places



Sometimes
it will seem natural
to wear your mistakes
on the right side
of your face.
To come back
Try not to think about it.
That nobody wants to believe in anything
in this unfamiliar century.
staying drunk for most of the 1800s
Here we are still trading places
building monsters in the basement
in a world made for train
like spooky desperate prophets
in the missing persons bureau.
I wanted you to bulletproof
the evening in preparation
for hula-hooping around the subjectivity.

All older dreams make sense now.
shouting political murder ballads
to the left I told you so a big
number of times in all the foreign
countries real snow leaves teething
impressions on the barrel like "oh hell
a flatter universe" in the expected areas
This pony has but a few tricks.
improving the carbon flea market
and crushed by the closing of eyes,
solemly refuse to let the sun get us wet
and what we believe in are the ghosts
of the future moving into town
and of all things change
problematic searching and aching
out of here gone down
around no reason
to be exclusionary, divided
sitting on the fence
of a half man's mythology
escorted from the land of the living
How indestructibe we are
according to time and disbelief
We have come expecting metaphor
but preferring the company of strangers.

[slunken]

also i guess i should clarify that these aren't song lyrics? w th

[Luke de Spa]

words drawn out of hats
i then solemnly misspell
indestructible

[slunken]

well would you look at that i did mispell a word or two. nbd this isn't going to print anytime soon.
and yes it's a chinto what of it

[Luke de Spa]

in the town where i was born lived a man who sailed to sea. and he told us of his life in the land of submarines.

[slunken]

poetry has such a bad rap which sucks.

if anybody is remotely interested i can't recommend ted berrigan enough he's the tops

Sitting here with my coffee
and I hate you, i hate you
eating a big muffin
and i hate you, hate you
i have extra blueberries
and they remind me of your kisses

and then i hate you, hate you

you told me that you only did it for the nookie, like limp bizkit said in his song
you told me you wanted forever
where did it go wrong?

and now i hate you... i hate you

[barden]

“Every drop of blood I've ever spilled
has soaked into this red African soil
But any claw that tore my belly flesh
Was rewarded with decay
And every plant that never grew
Was tainted the same way
If you stood that day for a righteous man
You would be waiting, sun baking, right there all day”
Those bones have been disturbed
Curious frenzied hippo, drunk on musk, rolled them into the ground.
We could follow their stumbled spoor back into the lake
But we'll never track him now, and those hippo are so angry
Those reeds would have suffocated the river if they hadn't forced on through
But we never taught him how to swim cause crocodiles drown too

[barden]

To see that face again
We'd have to keep it fresh
Float the body in the frozen lake
Fish too cold to study flesh

[barden]

Sculpt a landscape
With a hammer lined with teeth
'Who'd have thought...'
He snapped and chipped
'...we'd be eating mountains, you and me'.

[Eulogy]

It's just one of those days
Where you don't wanna wake up
Everything's fucked
Everybody sucks

And you don't really know why
But you wanna justify
Rippin' someone's head off

[barden]

This one is called Frustrated Ghosts!
Banging windows
Slamming doors
No one's paying any attention at all

Just the whine of the wind
The scratch of the trees
No haunting here at all

[barden]

Blind owls sink their teeth
through little holes in the hut
every morning, when they fly away
little stars in the day

[barden]

fuck music i hate it.

[myosis]

thanks barden.

i got one in english from my blue obsession of last year.

[myosis]

my bedd bled blue.

did you know
that of all colors
my least favorite
blue
has always been so
my least favorite you
has always been blue

would you know
that of all beds mine
bleeds its host
for my own keep
mine sleeps the most in
my home deep

thus should you know
that i can't have you know
my sheets turned yellow
my teeth grind mellow

.

[myosis]

the context may sound stupid but my teeth were turning yellow in parts because the enamel is wearing out, and the dentist gave me this blue liquid called fluorinse.

i had this theme of blurring the lines between my emotions and my medical conditions

[myosis]

also i had a thing with the color blue because it's always been a color i dislike for no reason and i'd been called "fleur bleue" and it made me angry. i was in love with a girl with blue eyes and a blue aura.
i had to be careful about what i'd say to her or do because she liked me very much but is very dedicated and faithful, and this put her in a personal crisis about her boyfriend. she would easily retreat and close herself.

Agent No Name


Because your life
is not yours anyway
enemies of the state
want to kill us all

its a sign of the times
this the time of your lives
it could be a genocide
in the name of allah

Can you hear us now
what happens if you listen
we'll all be in danger
of a crucifixion

for its a sign of the times
this the time of your lives
could be an armageddon
apocolyptical visions

and all those fake rock stars
stealing all those songs
afraid of the name
cancel to the cause

[SlingeroGuitaro]

my dick is like a tree
when i read bad poetry

[redbreegull]

poetry is the hardest art form to do well

[barden]

thats because it's the most gay.

[myosis]

i'd say drama (theater) is the hardest to write.
