Poems
mirage
the desert is a lonely place
seldom she will be kind
an illusion can surely pacify
and ease my tortured mind
i hear a voice it tells me run
this is where my trouble starts
the effects of too much sun
i try my best to concentrate
passing through this dusty haze
nothing here to fascinate
except a noxious malaise
my blood is hot my skin is scorched
i'm feeling succubus on my chest
it has to be the substance abuse
that would be my guess
the desert is an eerie sight
a spectacle as a montage
i hear your voice and see your face
but it's only a mirage

Re: Poems
Thanks Bec, I took a look at Delectable Mnts to post my poetry but may not be callous enough for professional writers picking apart my words. Art is subjective and should push the limits of what is acceptable to the mainstream. I read that crude language may be tolerated here, so that allows me to get edgy without violating tos.

If people don't want to see words, they can filter them. There's no violation with words here.

Re: Poems
Echt, everyone, do you think we should use this one Poems topic as public, free for anyone to post - making it perhaps more comfortable for people to show their text - or should we keep the same style as with photos, own topic for everyone?

Re: Poems
Kaunisto, I came here to party and would like to see others post their poems here. Anything Goes. It takes courage to open a window to your soul for others to peer in to. Again, it was your short stories that made me think AG was the perfect fit for me.

Re: Poems
Suppose I should dig out my old poetry (remember those, Bec?)

Poems
chaos
to say i have no order is troublesome and untrue
the cosmos are systematic but not easy to construe
a dark shapeless void mating with the goddess night
our offspring in perfect harmony with the greek contrite
an early death comes to those whose science is at odds
disturbing the tranquil conjecture of these capricious gods
to say i am not disciplined makes you either naive or insane
you even blame a butterfly when clouds do not produce rain
forced rhythm is quite obvious in nature's synchronic behavior
this does not mean the hundredth monkey brings a new savior
the apocalypse taught by christian and islamic fundamentalist
had a waxing deliverance in analysis of heathen mythologist
to say i am of young intelligent design is absolutely perverse
nonfiction books provide another view of this old universe
start with something postmodern as in late twentieth century
then work your way back to the classical and rudimentary
hundreds of years before those ancient hebrew scribes
sumerian clay tablets were used by primitive tribes
