here comes the black again
shadows covering all there’s no light left because this time i’m gonna fall here comes the rain again drenched in my own sorrow falling hard, falling fast never will there will be tomorrow here comes the pain again these wounds will never heal they never got the chance i never let them feel here comes the blood again you can’t wipe away these tears no one can erase what happened these past few years here comes the black again no one to save me from this hell not this time because this time i fell |

I like clouds
but I also like mold but I'm not to eat it Or so I'm told It's like fungus and it is bad for you but oh so colorful and I so want to Well, one fine day I sat right down next to an opening in the ground I took a silver spoonful but then I frowned Because the mold sure wasn't tasty |

Whoops, sorry Wrao....I mistakenly took you as the thread starter. My apologies.
It should've been: Oh AppleNova, why must nato64 taunt me in this way? |

Butterfly Love
Your eyes are like the sky that our love floats like a graceful butterfly And when you're near my heart's aflutter Anyway, get me a beer... You cheating whore. You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. - Peter Gibbons |

wandering through the nights. Impossible to see the rain, although we shone the light. From simplest stones to knotted runes, each marker charred by fire. Anticipations never quenched...

My favorite poet is Shel Silverstein. My favorite poem of his is "Invitation," which opens one of his poetry books (I forget which one). If you are a dreamer, come in, If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer, If you're a pretender, come sit by the fire For we have some flax-golden tales to spin! Come in! Come in! ...simple stuff, but I love it. I've always liked the way he used "liar" in a positive context. Another one of my favorites of his: Listen to the Mustn'ts, child, Listen to the Don'ts, Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts, Listen to the Never Haves, Then listen close to me: Anything can happen, child, Anything can be. If you're a S.S. fan, you know that most of his other stuff isn't as profound/preachy - most of his poems are lighter and more humorous - and I'm fine with that ("poetry should not 'mean,' but 'be,'" after all) but sometimes reading through his books a certain poem just jumps out at you, and these two were some of those poems. As for poems that I wrote myself...I'll post some of them...someday. |

do you mean Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends"? Yeah... I started with the line of "here comes the pain again" and went from there when i was feeling... well, just think and i'm sure you can tell what i was feeling. too bad it was a year ago when the album came out. its so funny cuz everyone's starting to love this song and i'm like... uh, i'm on to newer stuff even though that song is amazing |

Hm... Interestingly enough this collection of words that one might call a poem just came to me all at once, flowed right out of my fingers(title and everything), so, in that regard, I guess it's serious enough, I know.. I'm scared too. Anyway, and all that.
Just a piece of shade Sitting under a tree There are rotten things beneath Fueling the air we breath However, not exactly comforting It's just another one of those things Actually, you don't have to think too much to have enjoyment and, that's just the beginning because we're all so happy |

She'd never seen the things that came to her in her dreams
Life was just downtrodden and a rough means to an end Nothing could change, not a thing could bend For there's no way out, when you don't have an in You're long on miles but so short on ground covered You feel like your life and love are undiscovered A shell in the sand, and no helping hand There's nowhere to go when you don't have a plan If you decide to pick up where you left off The next thing you'll do is come to a stop It might be easy for most people to remember the last person that said hello But in your mind you can't even make out a faint echo Burn on those thoughts, burn on those ideas Burn on forever, and ever and ever If that means nothing, then don't talk to yourself Most ideas come to people When they think about themselves |

Gonna find my baby
Gonna hold her tight Gonna grab some Afternoon Delight My motto's always been when it's right it's right Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night When everything's a little clearer in the light of day And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway Think of you is working up an appetite Looking forward to a little Afternoon Delight Rubbing sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting Skyrockets in flight Afternoon Delight Afternoon Delight |

In due time, I'll hear the awful Revelation rhyme
And the stomach that churns up the chyme Will round out the end to an unearthly time In which I was lost and had no strength to find My God what did I do with the existence of which I was afforded I hear nothing in response Cold echoes reverberate off of my cold soul What sent me hurdling through space and time With the Elysian blinders on? The inferno, the abyss, all of this will be mine It will be an endless hellfire marathon It has no end - so it can't be long Forever isn't long, forever is never gone Time to die, time to go on and be gone Pack my soul and pack my mind Memories would get me through But memories last just a lifetime Hell is always turned on The hills bellowed a hymn through the trees I heard it as I repented on my bended knees It shook me to the core as I closed another door With my mind tuned in and my soul tuned out The inner being tried to shout out loud Muted by the sins, I ended there As the tumbleweed passed A soul journeyed downard, my body laid still "We are reviewing some 9,000 recent UNHCR referrals from Syria. We are receiving roughly a thousand new ones each month, and we expect admissions from Syria to surge in 2015 and beyond." - Anne C.
