Death is knocking at my door

What is this, What is this--
A Barrier to me!?
Why, something so silly--
Don't you know
Living is a Tease, Life is pain
I am the Ease.
My message is one of release--
Don't you know...
Wherever I go,
You will follow


Death is knocking at my door

5/24/'13


(For all those who lost their lives in the tornado in Oklahoma
City, I pray their end was quick.)

Come Out and Play

Posts: 13
Cigars left aside
Muddied floors
The rain isn't stopping
The thunder roars

A creaking door
The windows are open
Shadows rise
Then glasses were broken

Hello there
Would you come out and play
As the children stare
Ready to slay
You run and run
The fun has just begun
The moment you'll hold still
You'd feel a chill
The moment you turn back
The moment you'll die
Tripping, a branch of a tree
Children's faces with glee
You shout and cry
Asking the reason why

As you wake up from this bad dream
You'd realize you're in bed
You'd just hurt your head
Drink a pill
Think slowly
Think still
Someone might enter
Yes a child will
Asking you
Would you come out and play?

Rise Blood Hunter

Fee fi fo fum
The smell of blood and rum
As on the giants abode
Legends were foretold
As wolves stand as packs
To kill and attack
A hero rises
From the flames
From the ashes
Rise blood hunter
Rise from doom
Rise from scourge
Rise above them all

Where people die
A painful death
And corpses left
Stacked aside
Never buried

As monsters walk
Among us
As the walk
Goes slower
And blood gets thicker
By this moment you might be
Yes you might be dead

With blades side by side
Rise blood hunter
And slay them all
Rise from doom
Rise from scourge
Rise above them all.

We all think we're more than the score
And we carry that thought to the core.
That we are individuals and deserve the best above all the rest.
When really here we all are veneer--
A superficial glue of material that binds the inferior
To their exterior

Paranoia

The lights flicker
As the candle flame
As it grows weaker
And grows more dim
The howls are steadier
The feeling of grim
Drip drop
The sound of blood
I try to hold my breathe
That's too much
The stench
Too much death
Voices wailing
Of pain
And of agony
We're alone
But nothing is sure
As long as they exist
I'll live
Continuing my journey
With blades side by side
They'll tremble before me
Rise blood hunter

Everyone’s an artist,
snug inside their sheets.
Awakened by our sleeping minds,
subconscious finds its feet.

Fragmented dreams when you were young
still linger to this day.
Secluded sunshine waterfalls
shine brightly through the rain.

The Judas Case

Posts: 13
At brink of solace
Out in the open space
Where Judas died
It's where I'd hide
The crickets chirping
And the wind is whistling.

People have been dying
The lords are laughing
This is life's agony
This place of tyranny
A world of sorrow
People without good tomorrow.

Oh Judas
Where art thou?
Has been out heard
Has been outspoken
Has been loved
Has been broken

To my sorrowful country
I'd give myself, I'd bury
For dead is Judas
Not a boy but a lass
A case filled with lies
Brought you to your demise.

Their faces with a grin
Without realizing their sin
I'd sure miss you
Even the others won't do
I'll sure miss you saying "hi"
I'd bury myself and so here I lie.

Pls. do leave a comment after reading...

Melancholy Memory : Forever Alone

Posts: 13
Do remember me
Hope tangled on a string
Love isn't a thing
Arrogance

Like a fallen tree
Branches and twigs wither
The whole body suffers
Pestilence

Love is full of lies
Full of hatred and despise
Bringing people demise
Entropy

I keep on waiting
For the tree to bear fruit
For the fruit to ripen
This patience

I love you so much
My reason for breathing
The reason I'm living
Mannequin



This is my entry for the contest

You and me, we are energy;
The leftover remnants of stars
That helped create us and planets as Mars.
And when we die, no need to cry
For I think then we become ourselves again.
But if you want to fear some great ill
Be here for the "Great Crunch or Chill"

Lesbo Island in hearts

Lesbos Island….
Sappho lyric poems were so concise and good.
Much directed and good are like the pictures drawn for loves. Songs ofkissing loves and tonguing sexes for women just were poetic life.
However Sappho works are rare to see for modern now.
Many works did loss in middle ages of olden times.
Lesbianism comes to thoughts as human natures.
Also when those girls had a evil father. Who may also had a kind andbetter mom.
Asian traditions sexes are more unclean in views of peoples. Sexes couldsin. So as males are so prominent in social poses and so esteem birth and growthat male homosexual do very bad and much undermine by peoples rites especiallyfrom and in our olden day.
However women positions living societies all may lower so female homosexualmost could more agreeable that is women just could be sexes instruments infates.
True to say that Lesbianism life is gay is please is bliss.
Due to facts as both their partner come with slowly heat but much formore as vigor orgasms.
Also women orgasms take the longer pleasures.
However scandals travel fast and those who play a prank and jokes andother really bad to treat them and label them whether they are male or femalehomosexuals.
Dreams are tosses are base and gross and not for lesbians coming do.
Lesbians some are gleeful good for owning female sexual organs due toorgasms. Lesbians want for other just to joy and please for female status. Wanttheir partners do admired to their female preparing organs that due to orgasms.

Jail Baiting

Spring is here,
So yeah,
It’s raining.

I could probably carry you
With one arm,
And keep you from harm
With the other one too.

I guess that’s why I feel guilt.
You’re a little to little.
Your mind is still brittle,
Easily filled up with filth.

But ad some peanuts,
And that brittle looks tasty.
The way you’re languid when hasty.
Ties a knot in my gut.

And that strut of the little girl that you are
Has water drooping from my mouth.
I’m like the sad stratus clouds,
That dribble on the passing cars.

I’m Petrarch and Dante born anew,
A perverted old fool,
Who thinks it’s still cool
To mix up some words in his bubbling stew

Of lascivious longing
For an underage girl.
But I like the way your hair swirls
And I bet I’d like wronging

You.
Little lazy teen.
Best that this remains unseen.
For who

Would forgive me,
Bet that’s not who I’ll be.
I’ll just stick to my whisky.
Maybe wait one more year.

Story little boy who
Who's in love with you
Wants to be together
Wants to be with you forever.

I like your style
I like your smile
I like who you are
For me you're my star.

As the autumn breezes
And all the cold wishes
The leaves just keep on falling.

We keep on parting
We keep on fleeting
The past is far gone.

ELA
Would you remember me
Little boy blue
A little boy who loved you.
