Now who's going to read this assortment of lyrics, prose and poetry?:wink:





Ill Thought
----------------------------------------
Twenty thousand blades of ill thought,
Writhing in the wind,
A shadow boxing bred lament,
Till kingdoms admit their sins..............

Twenty thousand blades of ill thought,
Wanting on the wire,
An eager shaman telling tales,
Till God resigns his power.


Eggshell Junkies
---------------------------------------
Eggshell junkies juxtapose their worthless ponderings upon my mantelpiece,
Distracting me from my chore laden existence as I strive to provide light in my own,
Darkened crevice of petty treasures,
In which the only other source of sustenance from what I can remember,
Happens to be a glimmering yet rustic item of old style coinage,
That has bound to have been, lurking in the shadows for near all eternity,
Of course I could have been easily tempted to let the devil have his way,
For myself to be frivolous once more,
Since my mother had left this grand abode in my keep
Following her somewhat ill fated departure to the Azores,
Wouldn’t it be fine and well for me to take?
What may never have seen the light of day again?
However this plan of action could never be carried out with sufficient aplomb,
For the Eggshell junkies still long to be appeased………………..



James Spader
-------------------------------------------

Dearest James does the deed,
Dispensing a doleful dose,
Morose searing solar rolls,
As he performs a mournful toast,

For statuesque stately homes,
Inept in all but grace,
Here comes the money shot,
Sex, lies and videotape,

Here in lies a burdened load,
He’s to forge a will of woes,
Leaving loathing to his love,
Above the art house folds,

Spader knows what he knew,
Was frivolous at best,
He’d show asides of wit and wait,
For the script to do the rest,

Sex, lies and videotape,
His finest hour indeed,
Portraying life without love,
Staving off the need,

To sequence stale dividing drives,
Away from fasting foes,
Criticising critical cries,
For independence shows,

The director dealing with his soul,
Restating all regrets,
James Spader could deal with those,
If you’ll spare him a cigarette.


Wondrous Excess
-----------------------------------------
I survey my worth with a pornographer’s eye,
Taking care in subtle amounts,
Loathing those who pass the test,
Who are pure by all accounts,

Those who seek adoring praise,
Cast shadows as long as days,
Flattering themselves with empty prose,
Leaving little for one to say,

In regards to narcissistic narcotic riddled sons,
Who need not heed their father’s calls,
For their minds are overrun,
With flirtatious folly and stolen wit,
Obliged to keep the peace,
Between the warring parties whose parties never cease,

I survey my worth with a pornographer’s eye,
Taking note of excessive success,
Loathing those who need deny,
The artist his wondrous excess.

Bullets and Sperm
----------------------------------

Looking down the barrel of an emptied revolver I feel moved to the point that I empathise with the bullets that left the magazine behind. I find bullets to be less prone to exaggeration than my fellow man, they’re straight to the point, there’s no pretension with a bullet only death. I used to put my trust in sperm but they are by nature much less reliable than my acquaintance the bullet, sperm often meanders and in the direst situation they mightn’t even reach their destination.

However I do tend to be less formal when I converse with my sperm, my bullets demand my utmost attention, they expect me to hang on their every word and who am I to argue with their habitual prowess. My sperm on the other hand is quite like a liberalist politician who may be a bit of a fop but is generally more genial than my firmly national socialist bullets. To be honest though they’ll both screw me over at some point, I’m certain of it, but to die at the hand of sperm is somewhat less impressive than going down under a hail of bullets or maybe it's the other way round?

Wives
-------------------------------

I’ve become rather accustomed to this lifestyle,
Champagne and cigarettes, sodomy and the lash,
I tend to ignore the expense of keeping a household,
What are wives for? Sustaining sexual deviancy?
Well I hope that you’ve already made your own assumptions,

Although to be honest I lack the requisite level of charismatic charm,
For a man of my standing needs to be on top of things least not in the bedroom,
Again what are wives for? Toiling until the morn?
I find your rate of progress quite astounding,
Although the choice is yours; misogyny or monogamy?

If you find that you gravitate towards the latter I extend my pity,
As a male you must abuse your right to be a chauvinistic bastard,
You must believe your own hype; you’ve to understand my words,
Women are merely a means to a miraculously morbid end,
An effective if costly leisure facility that you must cherish yet define,

What are husbands for?
 
*flask* (Not alcohal, but... whatever favorite sobe drink happens to be my current taste.... right now the yellow one...) *returns flask to inner coat pocket*

I'll be interested to see how the thread goes, Will.

Happy Holidays


*finds a quiet, observant spot in the corner*
 
Please remain quiet.:wink:

Trivial Pursuit
-------------------------------------------

Trivial pursuit is the game of life,
Mundane yet required,
Preventing one wasting all his time,
On scrabble or other such tired,

Excuses wrought with lettered love,
Apologies sans triple word scores,
Aligning hate with the weight,
Carried to sun blitzed shores,

Upon the shoulders of questionnaires,
Legions longing for the time,
Of the kingdom’s regal court,
Who await a coming sign,

From the hope fuelled masses,
Who care much less than they,
Working class anomalies,
Plague the bourgeois as they pray,

In the name of business men,
Profit tore from eager minds,
Eager to make a killing field,
Of mild yet hostile climes,

Found throughout their anal tracts,
Caressed with tender care,
By ravenous ravens scrounging words,
To scorn their wayward fare,

Requisite bullish vaudeville tone,
Well spoke arrogance that they deem,
Surplus to requirements,
In this trivial pursuit of dreams.
 
I agree in that..... .......some things....... are more 'trivial'....... than others.......



(by the by, I can't stand trivial pursuite, the game. My cousins played it all the time. Talk about being "pedantic" :rolleyes: )
 
I agree, I also despise "trivial pursuit" but its use in the piece is quite suitable.

Well now I've revised the piece to a certain extent.

Trivial pursuit is the game of life,
Mundane yet required,
Preventing one wasting all his time,
On scrabble or other such tired,

Excuses wrought with lettered love,
Apologies sans triple word scores,
Aligning hate with the weight,
Carried to sun blitzed shores,

Upon the shoulders of questionnaires,
Legions long for the time,
Of the kingdom’s regal court,
Who await a coming sign,

Born of the hope fuelled masses,
Who carelessly portray,
Working class anomalies,
That plague the bourgeois as they pray,

In the name of business men,
Profit tore from eager minds,
Eager to make a killing field,
From mild yet hostile climes,

Found throughout their anal tracts,
Caressed with tender care,
By ravenous ravens scrounging words,
To scorn their wayward fare,

Their vaudeville indulgence,
Cabarets divulge their needs,
As triple word score alibis,
In pursuit of trivial dreams.
 
I like Bullets and Sperm

I think I'd rather die by the bullet, than by the sperm

I look better in red than white:huh:


Overall, this is good stuff - keep it up.
 
Thank you but there comes a time in every young mans life when he needs to write his equivalent of "Subterranean Homesick Blues". Dylan is a legend but like all legends there’s always some kid who’s barely eighteen ready to take him on.

This is “Zerodude” the egotist. The hyperbole is here because to be honest, lyrically this is the best song I've wrote.

Any one who even accidentally stumbles in here please leave a message after the beep.


Speak Your Mind
-------------------------------------------------------
We’ve lived through prosperity, falsity and hate,
Blanket men dealing blues as medicine to sate,
Religion stealing all our time and wasting it away,
With whiskey sworn to ease our pain until the break of day,

Nights were young and days were long in the tooth and skies were grey,
Rain clouds tore asunder under the monotonous tirade,
Of reverend preachers spouting tripe about their libidos,
The celibate procrastinate for inadequacy shows.

In intellectual circles that’s ironic since they squares,
But not since the sixties have we been so debonair,
Suited, booted up for rent our souls are on the line,
Reeling through the needles eye I’m sure you’re feeling fine,

Governments govern tax for the love of taxing foes,
Who neither heed nor let them bleed their existential woes,
Into the commercial tribalism that they scorn in place of those,
Scurvy ridden privileged brethren who needlessly dispose,

Of all social niceties and this I can’t deny,
Is a crime against humanity manners don’t cost a dime,
Or whatever currency that needs be on parade today,
With varied nationalities taking issue as they say,

We’ve had enough of wistful counts and warring policies,
If we don’t police the police then who’s policing me,
I just want a state of mind an independent illicit affair,
That’s no one’s business except mine well except maybe for her,

She’s the reason that I pray for justice to pull through,
The darkened night for curtains call to curtail our impending doom,
Well we’ve got Christ and they’ve got money but one day we will see,
They’re going to fall upon the sword of their own hypocrisy,

very good my young friend, i'm no good at critiqueing poetry...i can't even spell that word which kind of proves my point. but i like it. it's easier to comprehend than some of your other stuff but it's just as meaningful.

but to prove youre really the next dylan or whatever, first you must put this to some beautifully understated guitar, sing it, and post a ysi for us. otherwise i just can't take your claims seriously.

:drool: :drool: :drool:
 
Hopefully I will soon be able to deliver the goods for you and for all.

The world will see and then probably shoot me but nonetheless it’ll be worth it.

:wink:
 
I really like Speak Your Mind too

ah, next dylan :drool:
like everyone else said, I think it'd be great to hear you play! :)

keep up the grand work :up:
 
Thank you all so much.:wink:

I'll see what I can do.

Text
============================
They’re in a different class,
A society bound by archaic anecdotes
And biblical text,
Though they see no reason to seek my council,
I still cherish their wanton glance,
Their thoughtful tact
And insightful comment,

Maybe I’ve realised that bitter winds require
Resolute conformity,
For attention as they say
Is hard to come by.

Have I become a poet? For what exactly is a poet for?

Poetic Illusion
+++++++++++++

Poetic illusion,
Words come to court,
Fraught with fear
And witty retort,

Poetic delusion,
Words come to mind,
That the poet declares
Shall remain undefined.
 
Sanctioned Souls

Ireland’s obituary state
Coheres with the blatant disregard,
For eulogies begat
In the auld docker’s yard,

Estates of consoled habit,
Follow David as he sways
Unto wards the ocean’s breath,
As the sullen loyal pray-

In tongues of arsenic laced
Rampant Ulster prose,
Communion wore the Eucharist
Ergo the sanctimonious souls-

Of Fenian’s feigning truth
As the rifle bore a right,
To tarnish tranquil reasoned reigns
Of those who sacrificed-

The eldest of our wanton wares,
Our literary legacy stole,
Set alight at Paisley’s whim,
Poets languish in their homes,

Contemplating imagery
That needn’t be resolved,
Damning condemnation,
Sold the Lagan down the Falls,

As I lay bare upon the lord’s,
Foreign regal woes,
Serving Ireland’s obituaries.
For our nation’s sanctioned souls.
 
Privy

I am privy to an afterthought
An impartial fallacy,
Of murmured mischief tore from grace
In aid of prophecies,

Malleable and porous yet
Manipulative and vein,
Folding hearts of diamonds grieve
In league with callous naves,

Whose contrary moods
Swing round’ a notion,
As their alibis refrain,
From judging jurisdiction
In the halls of ill got fame,

Forward twenty years or so
The temple served with blood,
Leaving rights to wrongful souls
As Yeats misunderstood,

The hallowed path of ridicule
That must remain unseen,
Tread upon through darkened ides
Of marching feckless schemes,

Born from minds as bold as sin
Flawed foreboding fear,
Acquire the destitute decrees
Of harpy privateers,

As a creed designed for life
Fashioned in forlorn fare,
Proving God denied us love,
To force our farce fought care,

Into the light’s prevailing lust
For life and those who lived,
Under blood red skies adorned
With deaths’ defiling wind.
 
Bulimic Hordes

Bulimic hordes ran round’ my ego,
Under the guise of laboured wit,
Languid visions of vivid fervour
Lost meaning frayed and hid,

Surely silence pardons all, the-
Hirsute and rather vein
Ignorant mournful fickle fools,
Torn from cultic chains.

To pursue a life of wasteful hours,
Orators offer odes, that-
Resonate through vapid thoughts,
Nameless negligence exposed,

As surplus tender overt sorrow
Saintly souls commit, to-
Universal needful finance,
Nothing charitable equates, to-
Daring dalliance amidst regrets,
Eager to make amends,
Reeling from intense attack; that I’m sure you’d recommend.
 
All "veins" are meant to be "vain" in regards to the two poems above this post.:wink:
 
Shag Tobacco

Optimistic pessimism, sodomy and the lash,
Shag tobacco laced with solace
Soulful tranquil nights,
Bestowed with grace void arias,
In the midst of phallic charm
Requisite delinquency,
Regrets our needless Sapphic harm,

Lost upon your shag tobacco
Torn from fervour still,
Silence has a quiet manner,
That sports a silent will,

Snuff fixated Irish men, my kin if not my love,
Traverse the earth with thoughtful grace
As they converse with the gods,
For their servile clientele of minions
Deist, theist souls,
Ignore the ignorance at play,
In placid haggard homes,

Found upon your shag tobacco
Torn from fervour still,
Silence has a quiet manner,
That sports a silent will,

Shag tobacco, foolish pride,
Loathsome languid heirs,
To Irelands spirit pacified,
By harmonised despair.
 
Contradictions

Sentimental sibilance and experience denote
The lack of life that lives beyond the antiquated code,
Of morality, mercy bound by logical regrets
Defined by our faithful fate chastised to make amends,

For all of our misgivings they’ll castrate the only child
Who deems himself a wonder, a prodigious infant Wilde,
Who has little to declare except his genius that he wore
As a badge of honour tore and frayed as he was scorned,

By lesser loathsome languid louts who needn’t take offence
To spurious connotations that have little in defence,
To stave away acrylic cries of our gratuitous despair
Poetic license spared a thought to those who needn’t care,

But we know what he lacks and this we can’t deny
Is a simplistic realisation of his pretentious sombre guise,
That he dons to predicate justify and gaze
Into the graceful covenant of man’s own fervent haze,

A promise kept in provincial minds awash with waning love
Love that in the plural sense came reigning from above,
Embodied in a silenced soul, a man like you or I
Willing to take up the cross, caressed and crucified,

By his kin the brotherhood toiled from harvests past
Confirmed as his acolytes to weather storms a vast,
Yet cynicism rules our hearts with colic tendencies
Leaving love regretting Christ raped of divinity.
 
If anyone other than myself actually reads what I write give me a wave.

:wink:
 
Also for anyone who's interested, who is "The Wanderer" (check back a load of pages, I like his style) for that man could write.

I'm here, Zero Dude,...........

just trying to balance on my new crystal world...
multi-faceted
colored reflections of innocence
a non-existent entity
caught in a calipher
as it remains motionless
time means nothing
just trying to balance on my new crystal world.....

------------

Sorry, I'll reflect on your writings tomorrow.....just caught up in my new object of fascination.
