A slightly more morbid poem, for a more morbid time...
Fading
I know, that if I keep up this chirade
That I, am surely going to fade
I will, become what I detest
The thought, that keeps me from rest

I need a change
I'm out of range
I've been unlinked
I need to think

I'm smart but paranoid
I cannot fill the void
I feel like hating
The feel of fading

I ain't who you think I am
But I, will not condemn you
You to, the feel of fading
The fear of hating

I need a hero
I feel like zero
I need to be saved
Before the time that I fade

I'm smart but paranoid
Have yet to fill the void
I know I'm hating
The feel of fading
I fight the feeling
I feel some healing
I am no hero
But I'm not zero

I can't believe what I see
I need to act more like me
I won't encourage the voice inside
Or my life'll be a harder ride

I'm not so paranoid
I can't seem to fill the void
I have stopped hating
For I'm not fading

Soupir tout maussade

Par le regard, on crie ;
Par l'ouïe, on rit ;
Par le chante, on ose songer ...

Aveugles, les mains
Tâtonnent les demains
Sur la peau d'un beau chevalier …

-- Alexandre Orion

I remember speaking to Alexandre about this thread and him stating he wants everyone to participate in it. I love poetry, I write it, I read it.. and when I read this I knew it belonged here.

Evening Star
Edgar A. Poe

'Twas noontide of summer,
And mid-time of night;
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, thro' the light
Of the brighter, cold moon,
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in the Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
On her cold smile;
Too cold- too cold for me-
There pass'd, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned away to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar,
And dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in
Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.

My first English poem EVER, featuring our favourite timeout-monster, Tom.

(02:28:23) Joe: Poor Joe, all alone in an empty room.
(02:29:11) Joe doesn't know what to do, so
(02:29:18) Joe picks up a broom.
(02:30:19) Joe cleans the pen of mighty Tom.
(02:30:31) Joe: There you go, the filth is gone.
(02:34:39) Joe: And even though all life is precious, for Tom, Joe looked way too delicious.
(02:35:35) Joe: It did not help to scream nor shout...
(03:14:34) Temple Bot: Joe has been logged out (Timeout).

one of my fav's:

The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.

In an instant the world is changed
Inexplicably more beautiful
More difficult
Filled with a pain and fear that seems undeserving of its origin
A devastating sensuality that whispers and entwines
Promising everything
Delivering none
Leaving only aroused frustration where should rest spent passions
An unrealistic dream that at once removes all barriers
But expands distance
And yet
Still
Between us
Little more than light


Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

I call. You’re stone.
One day you’ll look and find I’m gone.

I will make a tattoo from my lovers blood,
That will shame every rose in the green garden.
