First Time Here....Be Nice

[EdgeVox]

It's a sad day
The day you and I realized we don't know each other
Part of me is glad
I find that whole "life goes on" philosophy so trite
I'll always be around
I'll always play the fool
Sleepwalking into the sea
Drowning's the key
With every wave
With every step below me
I know I'll find some truth
Cold truth
I wouldn't have it any other way
Clouds cover my ever awkward step
Sunshine blinding my mistakes
I'm ever grateful
Embraced by miles of oblivion
Anonymity, where's the honor in that?
I miss you, my love
Without you I'd just as rather sink to the bottom
Another forgotten statue leftover from history
That's what I'd prefer........never having existed
That's what I'd like to be remembered for
The man that loved you desperately
The fool
The poor soul that couldn't cope
As the wave's crash,
One less grain of salt in the hourglass of remembrance
I love you so much.....

 

[EdgeVox]

Awake sweet lady,
Awake to the new death's sunset
Cynicism's favorite treat,
I use you fortuitously my darling
You keep me sane
You keep me whole
You keep me holy
Jesus had nothing on you
The faith you inspire in me
Because of you God exists to me
Without you, lawless barren souls roam my earth
It has to make sense
It has to amount to something
What a cruel cruel joke
The ruse of signifigance
I believe in love
I believe in love
I believe in you
I won't give up on my faith
I won't turn away from grace
I won't deviate from the inner workings
Your inner truth
My life's fuel
My only truth
My darling, My grace
Baby, I won't ever let you go
I won't ever let you down
I won't ever stray

 

[EdgeVox]

Open your glass sleet
Realize that we're here whether we like it or not
Victimized by your diamond hazeled eyes
I love you so much it hurts
Embracing the cliches
Drowning amongst the true
I come up for air
Only to realize that life is overrated
Place a nail in my heart
Give my life purpose
Give me signifigance
Give me soul
Can't do it, can you?
Not consciously anyway
I regret to inform you that I never existed anyway
That this never happened
This is a dream
Wake up
Wake up
Before you sleep amongst the stars
Before you slide amongst an avalanche of love's existance
Wake up
Before you don't matter

 

[EdgeVox]

Time's about to stop for us both
You and I will swing in oblivion
Nothing but the company of your sorrows
I can't wait
You know I always loved you
You knew this when you broke my heart
Not sure I can blame you
Well that was fun
Can we do this again sometime?
I enjoy my misery
I thrive on it
If you're there with me
It's worth it
There's nothing like being in love
It's the only time I feel close to god
Well I've gotta go
The future is calling
New loves, new friends, new dreams,
Everything's not the same
I love this
I'll never forget you though
You'll always be my favorite sad story
Actually no, I changed my mind
Fuck you
Fuck the past
Kiss the future
I've died too many times at your request
Resurrection's my cliche
I love this....

 

[EdgeVox]

You always seemed to know when to quit,
You couldn't help it
Guess we were just raised differently
I couldn't help but notice I've caught fire
Swirling flames consume my apathy
I'm not about to give in
I'm not going to apologize
I'm not going to say I was wrong
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
A kiss on the forehead is all I can muster
Guess I'm shy after all
You say it's time to call it a night
I say we should never sleep again

 

[EdgeVox]

Couldn't come down
Couldn't get up
Not til you realized it was all upside down
Jump on my train
Slipslide in vain
It's not what we wanted

You couldn't love without knowing
Had to have your hand on the clock
Slightest movement describes my fate
Karma's laughter is my last embrace

It's all over now love
Things will surely be better in the next life
I'll hold on tightly to what I know
I'll hold on tightly now, love
You know you're the only one, for me
Ahhh aah love
You're not strong enough

So darling smile for me now
You know how to get me drunk on you
Spinning down
It's inside out
My love
I'll never let you down
My soul
Worth your escape
One of us will survive
I'm glad it's you
My chances aren't worth your eyes

It's all over now love
Things will surely be better in the next life
I'll hold on tightly to what I know
I'll hold on tightly now, love
You know you're the only one, for me
Ahhh aah love
You're not strong enough
Just wait.......

 

[EdgeVox]

Let's wreck our souls tonight
Drink til the day's first light
What's sleep to us anyway?
I can't think of anyone I'd rather waste my life with.....

 

[hiphop]

Whew. Good stuff, EdgeVox. Respect.

 

[EdgeVox]

Rock bottom feel alright
When it's anywhere near you
I can't see through my drunken jealousy
I like the sound of your waves crashing on my idealism
Your corruption feels real

I love driving drunk through your rain
Can't wait to crash into your walls
You're my favorite death

 

[EdgeVox]

 

[EdgeVox]

I didn't think you'd notice
When I strayed
My temporary kismet,
My false security
You know me better than that,
You know all my intentions,
I just want to negate your existance
I just wish you were never there
I just wish you were never my life
I can't, can I?
How naive could I possibly be
What a goddamned cliche I turned out to be
The bitter sunset brings zero comfort
The sky brags of independence
I wish I was a falling star
Content in my melancholy trajectory
It would be so easy to spend my life
Lamenting my downfall
I miss you my grace
My strength
Harbringer of God
Without you Heaven is an afterthought
I don't care
I don't care about karma
I don't care about Christ
If you're not there
It means nothing to me
It means nothing to me......

 

[beegee]

i just spent my morning reading seven pages of your poetry.

beautiful, beautiful work. your talent is incredible.

now...give us more.

 

[EdgeVox]

I'd give anything to see you smile
I'm not worth your trifles
You're my ocean
My soul's yours
I'd kill for you
My only love,
You make it so easy for me
You erase my scars
You are purity personified

 

[EdgeVox]

Wishing you were someone else
Stuck here by myself
Nothing but my blues and a deck of cards
Things could've been different
I could've made you happy
I'm sorry life is a sad lady
I'm sorry god is dead
I'm wishing you and I were away from all of this

I just want to be happy and I can't wait anymore
I can't give anymore
The rivers run dry,
The sun goes over your tears
I just want to be happy
I want some fucking grace
Gimme some truth some love
Don't tell me it's cliched
You've got some nerve making me love you
You've got some nerve

 

[beegee]

edgevox, your work is very powerful.

 

[EdgeVox]

bonosgirl84 you just made my day

 

[beegee]

i just went back and read some of it again. it's so passionate, so intense.

hold tight to this muse of yours. whoever it is inspires you to great work.

 

[hiphop]

"I like the sound of your waves crashing on my idealism"

Brilliant. EdgeVox, you kind of have a connection to my brain, if I may interprete this line personally.

 

[EdgeVox]

Your curt tongue undermines your silky lips,
Never knew it could get this good
Waiting, I no longer could
You're a devil in the summer time
Can't stop repenting when it's cold
You say you don't mind being blue
I'm prefer feeling grey
This is the happiest I've ever been
And it's without you
I wouldn't let it go
I couldn't let it go
I had to
The sound of the ocean echoes throughout my dreams
Feel like I'm drowning when I close my eyes
I don't mind it
I don't struggle
I'm at home in the anonymous waves
I slip beneath the foam
Only to come up for air just to spite the sky
I wish I was dead
Yet I've never felt so alive.....

 

[beegee]

"your curt tongue undermines your silky lips"

this is a damn good line. it's beautiful, absolutely beautiful...

 

[EdgeVox]

Sunny skies outside
You cut through them with your razorsharp hazel
Your denim smile
You're too bitter for my seas
My darling the tart
I can't find my footing when your around
Maybe it was never there
You make me feel drunk
Balance is overrated
You break my daylight
You sear my moon
You drown me in my own ocean
With your whisky kisses
And your smokey laugh
I love your corruption
And I know you love mine
I can't wait to fail for you...

 

[beegee]

"whisky kisses"

"smokey laugh"

"balance is overrated"

i love it, love it, love it...

 

[EdgeVox]

 

[EdgeVox]

"whisky kisses"

"smokey laugh"

"balance is overrated"

i love it, love it, love it...

thanks a lot bonosgirl84,
I was going to PM you and thank you then but I'm not allowed
I pretty much write whenever I feel like it and I have been doing it for a while....but it's nice to see your comments......it always brings a big smile to my face.....just wanted to say thanks is all

 

[beegee]

jukebox tappin' whiskey sippin' bonosgirl lifts the brim of edgevox's drinkin' hat, glares at him with red-rimmed blues and says this...more poems or else

 

[EdgeVox]

Your kiss of smoke
Makes the bourbon taste even sweeter
Feeling pretty reckless tonight
Feeling like I shouldn't be here, with you
You make me feel like a sinner
I don't care anymore
I love it
I just want to waste my life with you
Everything in excess
Love, Lust, Drink, and Sorrow
Let's love and drink til we're in the ground
Where it doesn't hurt anymore
In a dream the devil came to me
We had some laughs
Said you were no good for me
I love you so much
I'm not afraid

 

[beegee]

"your kiss of smoke"

this line reminds me of a picture i saw of you in the drunk thread. i saw it in my mind right away...

"i love you so much...i'm not afraid"

this line is very brave. the recklessness of love, it's wonderful.

 

[EdgeVox]

do you have AIM?

 

[beegee]

bonosgirl drags deep on her marlboro red, exhales slowly, imagines herself crashing mary beth's '73 super beetle straight through the gates of hell, glares at the dealer who is showing a ten, orders another whiskey sour, doubles down on her fours anyway, and says this...no, i do not have AIM.

 

[EdgeVox]

wow
