We keep you alive because you’re pretty

In beauty lies no truth
words that scar skin
and
tearing at the terrorist
suicide bombing your heart
Tired of the sun
and the forced empathy
exuding from empty souls
You need something to make you feel that wrong
bruised knuckles an array of colors
a rainbow of tender pain
colliding clashing and comforting
dulled eyes
once too bright
you have to fight to get past
such a dead stare

Consumption of the Child.

lets make, make believe
like children in the playground
going on a great adventure
so contrived
but at least they were happy
those children grow
and they never know
how the years, no doubt, will change them
looking back wishing
playing pretend was enough.

The Atom Bomb Baby

I’m going to explode
and terrorize your town
with that mushroom cloud
as I go down
(I’m taking all of you with me)
Show no mercy
I’m the new generation
better faster stronger
deadly mass destruction
If I don’t kill you
you’ll wish I had
I’m death in disguise
of a small compact vessel
dropped from above
with out a second thought
this is what you deserve.

A Shattered Wonderland Rehabilitated

Lets fuck shit up.
Destroy the world
and reanimate it with our own likeness.
You and me baby.
We’ll create a new world order.
Fuck the past
We’ll make beauty true.
And in the end it’ll just be me and you.
Oh what a luxurious fantasy
that may be.
But alas!
We shall settle into the sands of time
Your words speaking to me
through muted song
moving, flowing, fucking taking hold
What can I do for you?
My lovely
such beauty
its such a stretch to comprehend
Just promise me this won’t end!
"Everything ends."
Turn my words on me
make them my enemy
Lies! Deceit! Filth!
take me into your decaying wonderland
lets restore it to its once splendor
be pure
white as untouched snow
"Oh, but taint soon shall follow"

"Oxygen? What of it?"

Go out with a blaze of glory
you faze me so well
so close
bodies crushed
as if the world was closing in
on us
oh and your lips on mine
they were everywhere
here and there
coming and going
pressing and pulling
painful pleasure
from your bittersweet love bites
I couldn’t move
oxygen was a choice
because I had you.
tangled in each other
let this last forever
its. too. fucking. beautiful.
It hurts.

"Prenatal Angst"

Oh too early ripped from the womb
thrust into the so cold (polluted) air
take me back! take me back!
that is why I cry

"Encroaching Pleasure"

Touch
I feel you everywhere
every
where
invading quite so wonderfully

"The Rainbow is nothing without you, my love"

Shout colors
so bright
bursting with such strength
only to climax
and fall back
fading into contempt
for only yourself
and
no
one
else.

"Enchant me oh, magician of lies!"

I only ask to be loved.
Pretend at best.
Enchant me with your illusions

Haunting Ghost in the Horizon

In the distance
bleak and endless time
never ending
infinite as the universe
(oh, but is that so?)
In beauty lies no truth
cast away such folly
(love is that folly)
Empty as barren lands
The coldness that has consumed
A gaze as blank as stone white wall
(that shall never fall)
Ghost creeping up from hidden shadows
even in the white wash they hide
they were always lurking somewhere inside
seizing the heart
such fresh pain of an open wound
(stand steady, don't you swoon, it'll pass.. oh yes it'll pass)
Let it devour
then let it go.



(And fade to black.)

...Oh, and another love lost to the sea.




So thats a lot of my recent stuff from this past few weeks or so. I hope it's not too much to take in all at once. I also hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing.

The strongest poetry I've read on this board, so far ... Everyone has something to say, but you've managed to inject the spirit and intent of poetic verse in this grouping of work (an approach that is all too often lost in mindless rants these days, IMHO) ... Even the "terrorist" and "destruction" references and pieces withstand deeper scrutiny by virtue of their poetic tones and structure ... I was a couple of days from giving up on this board, but I will read more of your work, if you care to share ... Thanks.

Oh, wow. Thank you very much.
I plan to write more, so I will be sure to post them.
This makes me very happy. Thank you so much.
