i miss the release forum in old rm...so here's on oldie of mine to get things going again.

this is the third time i've written this line
the heart is willing
my mind is weak
i rest easier knowing you are mine

the mystery of these words is thin
obvious meanings
blatant intentions
and only my desire for composition

this is my offering
however pathetic, however unrefined
however you want it to be

i can only offer my embrace
my thoughts confusing
my words misleading
in the presence of your face

i find myself only at rest
when you are so close
that you are out of focus

this is my reality
however beautiful, however uplifting
however i want you to be

and the rain outside falls at an increasing rate
as my heart beats in perfect time
and the pain inside fades at the sight of you
as my thoughts cease to exist.
i'm going on feeling alone.

I post a lot of my stuff over there on Deanna's site, or not at all. I haven't writtten a poem in forever, am working on two short stories, and have no desire to type up any of the prose I've written.

This is so emo

this is some stuff i have written on crumpled paper scattered around my room. it was mostly written in class or something.

i thought she knew
or had an idea
you think she would after so many years
she knows nothin

so all these emotions, thoughts
they are...

roaming in my head

i walk into this pub
have a drink
meet a new girl and give her my number
will she call?
will she talk to me again?

ah fuck, the latter called back
and the other wants to talk

problems, nothing but...problems

well it was good while it lasted
but i'm moving on from both
to the unknown

i would post some but people tell me i'm bad.

dude, i consider myself the worst poet/lyrics writer around. i can write the hell out of anything journalistic like feature or news writing, but i can't do lyrics or poetry. i still write it though. sometimes on second look, with some editing, it isn't as bad.

There should be an editing forum...

Whenever I post a poem, it drops faster than a new Pearl Jam album in its second week on the Billboard charts.

okay, i got us a thread now you guys need to post in it so it doesn't get shut down. don't let me down!

If my poetry was good, i would post it

post it in that thread.
