how bout we start off with this game,ill say a subject or anything for that matter and someone write something reffering to or about the subject. I'll start off... Daydreams as i slip away to yester years,i push away all my thoughts and fears,for i can't wait till another comes, so i can hide again from the ordinary day to day. so i can play with forgotten old school mates,drift to the days of happiness. a few more mins i may push,a few more mouments of pure childhood blish. now someone write about sun sets Fool me once shame on you.....Fool me twice shame on me..... |

Before him, I never looked at sunsets. Not because they weren't important, but because my own misery wouldn't let me see. It was hard to see God's beauty when my life was killing me. So many moments passed me by as I flew without my wings. So many wonderful chances, so many beautiful things. *********************** Today my life is different, and I notice the smallest detail. I don't want to miss a thing, I want the wind in my sail. I finally found my happiness... It was there all along. It was inside my soul, it was hidden...but never gone. Today I looked at the sunset, as it sank into the sky. Remembering how I got here, and remembering times gone by. |

Inspiration Cast your eye into the sky As a blanket begins to be cast Over the sins upon our world And you will see a teenage girl Preparing for bed Deep blue, speckled skin Split by glowing red scars Lined out along this masochist’s arm Your world is suddenly flipped And you are looking down At the fields of water Parted by warring ships Two collide and merge in a deep scarlet cloud Then the winds lead them away Your view is only temporary And only really remembered By those who seek shapes in clouds Everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends, cos everybody hurts sometimes |

this is a cool idea but everyone's gotten way off track in the replies. You guys should read the original post.... Once things are going the way the poster intended then I'll slip back in and join the fun. |

Okay Parasite... I heard the word SUNSET, and it triggered a thought! Excuuuuuse Me...HaHa My thoughts on DESPERATION On a road that has no signs, a journey without direction. A thought only of the minute, no time for reflection. A desire so painfully strong, a need yet to be found, A heart that beats so fast, it's hard to hear any sound. Looking for something wonderful in all the wrong places. Trusting all the smiles on all the lying faces. Needing something so bad, I close my eyes and fly, hurting those that love me, and leave them wondering why? What drives a soul to jump, and fly without their wings? What could make a human being do such horrible things? Reaching and never touching, to search and never find... To head straight-forward to bad, leaving all the good behind. Desperately looking for love, that was what it was back then. As today I remember the mistakes, and all the places that I've been. ** Just in case I wasn't supposed to write a rhyme...here are a few thoughts on DESPERATION...** Personally, I beleive that desperation can set us on a path of self-destruction. It's a feeling deep inside that only other desperate people understand. It can take us on a journey so far from home that when it's over, we struggle to find our way back. If we do, we can then appreciate what it means to be satisfied with what we have. If we don't, we realize that perhaps we caused much of our un-happiness. Desperation can lead to many things, depending on who you are and what you are desperate for. Okay Ya'll, my turn. Give your thoughts on DENIAL )))HUGS((( Timothysangel :0  *Whatever souls are made of...his and mine are of the same* ~Emily Bronte' [This message has been edited by timothysangel1973 (06-14-2003 02:29 AM).] |

Sometimes I feel like true love is but a unicorn, A fairy tale told to me, and in my innocence, I believed the lies without question. Deceit and Treachery were games played by adults, and hearts Were not meant to be broken by indifference. But then I think upon the times of true joy and Elation in my life, and I realize that love is not a Myth, that it is possible to love someone else that Much, and for them to love you back. And now, I am more careful with my heart. But I believe in unicorns again. Next up: Faith "Ain't Got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to grow old. Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef" |

Faith Faith,when one saids we gotta have faith what does that word mean? does it mean to belive in something so blindly and just have *faith in the end? or does it mean to work hard at something untill one day everything will work out alright? its all so confusing to me the word,especially since i have none of that *so called faith* i fail to belive in it more and more each passing day,when i never get any of that faith. once belived before had all these hopes that i adored. faith never came my way now or then. i just ill have to depend on myself in the end. next up is aggervation Fool me once shame on you.....Fool me twice shame on me..... |

Senseless i don't know what's goin on but i got a feeling a feeling something's goin wrong... i see static on my tv screen it sounds like someone someone's talking to me... i won't listen, i'm not hearing i'm not coherent; start the fearing start the searching; what's wrong with me? nothing's working; i can barely see.. i can't walk, can't talk can't scratch, can't itch... can't find the beers that were in my fridge... did i throw a party? did i make a ruckus? did i throw up and make a mess? senseless senses, non-sense sentences... out on the lawn and my socks are wet again... just let me in my house. next topic: the radio through the ravages of sleeplessness lies the comfort of the night |

Radio Sounds of footsteps coming near, a scream is heard, a sense of fear; the commercial break for soap and such yesterday sounds said so much... entertainment was the major key; operatic elements turning to country then blues and rock and major news now host and crew only talk of views... Radio, I would swift run back before TV got us out of whack to where our imaginations would simply fly, and when a tear fell from my eye. ~*~ Little Red Wagon |

New Love, I had just given up on love when, a new strange rose was found today with peach coloured petals in its array ripe with candid splendour it moved a flash of white piercing the brood. Vibrating with round softness i heard, It's soft whisper starring the night, all was euphoric and the world turned pink. I had given up on love today, when a new rose was put on display. ---- DAISIES |

A moon like this is for lover's kiss the star shine heaven for passion is given yet shadows cloak the lost and remote a heart left alone her desires unknown her soul sadly blighted by love unrequited. maybe I made up "blighted"?Okay, lets go for Relentless . . . Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Truth! You can't handle the truth!  Truth is more than the absence of lies, Yet too much truth can be over rated. Don't tell all you know and ruin lives, But certainly be honest it's so appreciated. Loss |

More than broken flesh or missing ingredients to a love once ablaze more than ruin and disaster it is dreams dreamed and never realized it is loved ones erased and worse hateful it is inability lack of strength or will but in the Face of love its power fades now how about children... |

Deception Slip me your pill of ill will Send me running after the invisible shield Tell me I am safe within your arms Then cut me in the safety of our home Confusing to see even more confusing to believe This race is more than I can bare taking your knife, I slice into this despair Freedom at last never glancing back Finding truth in seperation Understanding why I hate your deception pill the best!

Talking to my son tonight, just chatting as you do Brought back an old memory, thought I'd share with you Well he's now 24,,,, Bloody great big hunk This was many years ago,,, was'nt such a lump Somewhere about two years old... We'd just had another kid Watched my wife Breastfeeding,,,, Knew just what he missed Day was pretty magic,,,, you know how Aussie summers are So I walked him to the beach,,, Wasn't very far Spread out a towel or two, and let him sit and play Just a father with his kid, on a lovely summers day We don't have many rules, in force way down here About bikini tops, or what the ladies wear Can always tell the tourists, with the glaring strip of white The first day that their boobs, are let out to the light We knickname these White Pointers, for reasons that are clear On this day in particular, White Pointers everywhere So like any normal man, I'm gazing left and right Didn't see young Shannon slipping out of sight Suddenly behind me, there's a godalmighty scream Young son in his wisdom,, just had to live his dream A sweet young girl, real lovely, about sixteen years old Had just removed her top, feeling really bold She'd laid down on her back, with her nipples to the air Not knowing of the danger, on the towel just over here Now she screamed in desperation, clawing at her chest Where my son was doing, what babies sure do best Clinging like a limpet,,, not wanting to let go to this lovely breast, as white as driven snow Then as if he realised, no milk was coming here He spat it out, crawled on back, nose up in the air As for the young girl, I think she ran away But I bet she to remembers, what happened on that day Really apologise if I've jumped in or gone too far off topic But I only got here today How About FEAR |

Fear abounds In my heart Clawing through my body Wanting out Fear chills My bones to the core I cannot move Fear breaks I cry out No one hears me I am alone I am afraid of being alone. I fear being alone I loathe being alone I cannot escape it Someone help me I am afraid... Now...Music |

Music: Winds of change were blowing free In nineteen hundred and sixty three; I thought I was freewheeling But was sliding in the grease. Hair slicked back and collar up, Mocking Jimmy Dean. Then the rebels cause and reason Came in through my ears No more Elvis tunes could hold me, Pop-songs only brought me tears. Out in the distance Calling me from where I'd been I heard a poet singing stanzas, About hard rain that was coming, And answers blowin' the wind. A scratchy voice was wailin' About Peace and Love and truth And I dropped out of society (Never once thought of returnin') Because of Robert Dylan. New subject...spring |

Although very diffent in the darkness He shows a very different side to him He holds me aggressively and kisses me with more than just passion The unique way the tips of his fingers breeze down my back and to my neck. He whispers strange language to me that gives me a feel like no other. The eccentric way his body moves with mine Gives me a whole another imagination making my thoughts go beyond my wildest dreams.

Somber words and thoughts Echoing through the silence As each word is spoken in turn "He was a great guy" "Love for all" "Caring of his family to the end" Till I thought it would never cease He was dead and wasn't coming home Throw his dinner away "Loved animals" "Enjoyed music" Would this go on forever "Especially Gregorian Chants" Then in an instant the mood changed With the spoken thoughts of a teen Full of sorrow Irreverent as all "Who the hell is that?" The smiles abounded Everyone trying not to break the spell The respect due a fallen friend Until it started with a titter His littlest niece Not understanding Not caring Giggling at a swear word Uttered in a church He was in big trouble now The silence now gone Forever banished to the ethos As one by one the laughter began Engulfing the entire hall With only ten knowing why *this is based on a true event at my baccalureat when the minister made the comparison between Ozzy and Gregorian Chants... and Rich Romero had no clue why. Next scene.... a snowflake When all is said All is done Still I live And carry on- Quiet Riot [This message has been edited by Ringo (09-01-2005 05:42 PM).] |

Split like snowflakes drifting, I stumble. As I try to carry this body, myself which has grown so heavy, so heavy . . . already. I feel as if I just want to lie down in the warmth of Her cocoon. Just for a spell please, to rest. It is so warm here in Her arms. So easy to close my eyes, only for a moment or two. I have a lifetime yet.

These gears are broken, shifted too far, rubbed raw or fallen off. My scar is not the rusted body, missing hubcaps, twisted tie-bar. But the tread marks leave me threadbare. It's been so long since I've been there -- a distance better measured by the ease of my despair. I refuse to reverse, to return from my home, to a place I escaped so alone -- all alone. Interior damaged, just flesh and bone. *~*~*~*~* Next: password(s) It's only a tragedy after we bleed. |
