Any poets here?

How's This:

a wise man once said "you're alone in this world
and when you die, you're alone in the next"
so i'm saving my favors for those cold rainy days
when the blue's washed away from the rest
these streets are all empty, just sad and confused
filled with ghosts who are filled with regrets

and there's a man on the corner looking for change
he says "son can you spare me a dime?"
i dip into my pockets and look into his eyes
and say "sir can you spare me some time?"
cus' I've been feeling quite lonely, like I don't really exist
just a shadow of what I once was

and i walk downtown on main, crossing oak and birch roads
much more beautiful than we'll ever know
now my footsteps skip beat, on the tired black tar
and my heart in my tired bruised chest
when all these voices have ceased, only trees whisper prayer
and this silence is golden, but only in death is it pure

and now i lay down on the sidewalk, my frame outlined in chalk
that I drew when I was just six years old
but the colors have faded, into vague hues
and the sounds of my laughter have all been washed out
by rain and by memories, I've since long forgot

and I ask to myself, when will this end to begin
will this ever end...

CoreBoy: That's quite alright. I was able to calm myself by humming a little tune by the name of "sticks and stones" ^_^

Maybe I'll finally get around to posting my poetry here.

I Couldn't Save You

The smoke clouds my mind
as the liquor fogs my eyes.
I knew you,
but I coudn't save you;
I coudn't save myself.
Free falling
into a self-made depression.
Confining thoughts
with pitiful tears.

I love you
and i love you as dark things are to be loved
...in secret
All my wonton desires,
spill from my lifeless arms.
A tingly sensation growing around my neck
my hairs stand on end.
I shudder in the cold;
from what my life has become,
and what it will soon be.

But I coudn't save you,
I coudn't save myself.

That's a great piece. I can relate to it a lot right now. I just broke up with my girlfriend the other day, and this piece reminds me a lot of what I was going through with her. It's almost uncanny.

Thank you for sharing it. :)

As for us being nerds? Wow....i'm just so blown away by your highly evolved intellect. Your words have struck a chord in my heart, and here I sit, pondering my trite, worthless existance in this chaotic realm of defeat and dispair, as tears sting my bloodshot eyes. Woe is me. Woe is me. My heart bleeds profusely from your dagger-shaped words of harsh enlightenment. Why don't people like me? *sniffle*

Excuse me while I go jump off of a bridge and end this madness.....

....but not before posting another poem!!!

Crying Moon

Wispy trails of smoke ascend skyward
Eyes closed against the blinding darkness
Firey embers fall like grey feathers
Upon the ebbing chambers of blood

Following a thin, twisted thread
Into blackened uncharted waters
The lights flickering rhythmically
A kolidoscope of damp blues

Clear and stinging liquid charges forth
As knife wounds stab and cut deep
A journey through the fallen past
In a time machine built for one

Experience traced back to fruition
Running through with a fine-toothed comb
Finding chunks of misery caught
And determining the errors of deeds

A faint whispery hum emerges forth
Failed lulabyes falling upon deaf ears
Serving only to further awaken and feed
The demon that's caged and locked within

No peace is found in this dark slumber
A hibernation for devils and ghosts
Feasting upon conviction, virtue, and moral
Leaving the host frail, shattered, and broken

So here I sit all by my very lonesome
At the very edge of a twisted reality
Wispy trails of smoke ascend skyward
As I pay homage to a crying moon

AUTUMN

"Autumn is the pernicious season; the one we named the Fall
That marks the yearly ruin of nature, when the leaves fall in shame
Bearing the colors of shades and shadows of fire and flame
As if remind us of the wage of that first time we called The Fall.
But few weep at Autumn's coming, for they know all is not finished
As nature shall only die to live again, as it always has before
For while there is life, the prospect of rebirth remains evermore
Even in times when even Nature herself is a thing greatly diminished."

Thanks, that is one of my favorite pieces and this one you wrote is exceptional. I love the image of the crying moon; it really strikes a cold chord with me. Pulls me back to when I struggled with my addictions and lost two of my good friends to suicide. Good poetry is hard to come by in this day and age, but I'm always glad to share my stuff with other poets. Again well done, I hope I can read more of your stuff sometime. Here is another one of mine, I wrote it today...

Why?

Fingernails downt he chalkboard of my life
Standing on my head
a cracked sky
Angels stab me inside
screaming voices

I learned nothing
and now I pay a price
A mirror shatters
The charade of my life
Falsified

But I love you
