a bit of a rambling poem that doesn't really make any sense:
There is no reason left to define
We cannot answer till we find
Cannot cope without the cause
Cannot hope before we pause
Into shadows we disappear
Without purpose we have no fear
It’s long enough to know
Can take some time to let it show
For answers we have no reason
And love is out of season
Just pin on these wings
I have no use for such things
Flying to an unknown destination
Take chances on a new sensation
Does it go anywhere
And do we care
Plenty of time to find out
Tomorrow’s there with no doubt
Do we lie in wait
It’s no time to hesitate
Let it be known
Let it be shown
Spilling the echoes out over the grave
Where buried memories sound all the same
Nothing stays in constant motion
Yet everything changes
The same old shit that people give
This is not the way to live
How long will this last
Wasted days of being falling into the past.....

in and out like a ringing tone
sin then shout out like a dead moan
hurry carry those boxes away
scattered amongst the brave
they saved the day
once collected like a jigsaw puzzle
put together just right
windy jetstreams pick up and blow across
peeling the table top clean
the pieces stick to the wall
for yourself
make a nice picture of it all
blue on red, red on the yellow
white canvas the colors neverending
paint your life away

my mother taught me long ago
a lot of nothing at all
but since then i've learned
not to claim to be too tall
it's better to be mud upon the shoe
a frog in biology lab
sacrifice yourself
give onto others
take take take
is all we do these days
give to me your eternal soul
and i'll make change

keep breathing
keep inhaling the sadness
keep neverminding
keep on keeping
your secrets for another time
pour a strong one
pour it down your throat
pour alone
pour your misery down
poor you

one hundred thousand miles away
eighteen hours apart
synced up in rhythm
together we roam
where do we go from here?
time will tell
we'll continue to grow
time doesn't separate us all
we'll continue to sow
seeds spread long ago

Just after dark I wrote
A million episodes of the heart
Candied caution to the wind
It speaks helplessly
To those unaware
Finding the same page
Never giving up hope
Thoughts trapped in prisons
I’ll stay here with you
if you don’t mind
and dance in the dark shadows
writing down our puzzle pieces
forever waiting on change

tired of being treated
just for your benefit
tired of not being me
to help you be sick
why don't you hold up the mirror
instead of me always gazing
let me walk on by
you can stop the lazing
and take a cold hard look
into your own eyes
scary i know it is
sometimes it blinds
but free me from comforming
to you
you are honestly not worth the effort
are you?

thanks! I wrote that one a little while ago, it just sort of came out like that, like many others do. Some take a little bit more effort though - I always seem to get stuck on the endings.

Destroying ourselves every day
Counting down the hours
Til the end is in sight
What makes this alright?
Is there any hope out there
Is everyone consumed
Preoccupied with greed
Taking everything we need
It makes me sick
Power playing games one-sided
We seek through revolution
Knowing there is no one solution

breathe breathe breathe
breathe into me
push onto me
your very warmth
blow into my being
swirl around me
like chocolate and taffy
caramelize my taste
let me feel the sand
as it hits my closed eyes
your tornado force
lift me so high
destroy me
and throw me
into
the next state

sitting upon the many tables
sifting through time
many grains have already
fallen to rest
a killer enters the room
masked in leather
battleaxe in hand
closed zipper mouthed
as the wood rots
the grains still fall
the fireplace echoes
throw another log
it's so cold
tied here in metal chains
bricks against the back
head hanging low
and he comes nearer
as i spit into his face
the shadow draws long
against my short silhouette
the end comes crashing down
heads begin to roll
the lights flicker
a casual grin passed back
the duty complete

into the shadows
you disappear again
running and hiding
put on your little grin
because it's all so funny
this life we fucking lead
and no we are not behind
this little bit i plead
so set the example
you goddamn coward
lower my expectations
they begin to sour
nevermind again
just do as you fucking will
and may this world
be the same as it was
before your abortion as a pill
goddamn you for living

Am I allowed to post this poem of Billy's here? (copyright laws etc). I really like this one.
| Quote: | Courage
There is of course the courage of a single flower
Pushing its form thru concrete
If only to be trampled into dust
What is worth speaking
If seeking is death?
Does meaning become
Meaningless?
Summoning up the voice
To do the will of the soul
To explore the far reaches of my wonder
I make the choice to speak
Is it so simple
That it’s easy to overlook
That living is poetry
And poetry nothing less |

i have a little fettish
it's really quite childish
a notebook thing
a journal thing
i just can't help my glee
when i see
those brand new pages
just waiting for me
all clean and new
asking for ink
be it pink purple or blue
what's a girl suposed to do
alas it will be my demise
when i look for a certain piece
the one about the blue skies
you know, that one!
i search and search
through drawers
and cabinets
and closets
and trunks
and my purse
of course!
it's in the
car!

waiting for the day to break
a cathode tube staring me down
with a healthy dose of awake
body is tired and yet still moving
so many things left undone
still stuck upon all the stucco
may it come crashing down
and remove this nightdream
the prelude to my daydream
waiting for the day to break

to formulate a pattern of rhyme
dr. suess also sold me
on his books
