Blind, anyone can see that's the case
Love pushes us all, all over the place
Nobody does it all right...
mistakes and tears
the world melts
Lonely, dark... dark night.
Festering dreams draw selfish flies
Lonely, lonely. Soo sorry.
that which gives light
sometimes lies...
The tortured walk the streets, flinging
Desperation into sinister skies
Eternities spent on prayer-worn knees
yet in time someone reads the HELP
WANTED sign
veiling your bright eyes...
*********************************************
Soft Cell

Wet paint the color of hate
oozed from your lips
and seeped out the sore
between your hips
in the cancer gray
of our slobbering hellhound days
onyx eyes had that shine
like Hitler's boots when he split open the Jews
and danced in their wine
blissful genocide, to drag your machines
over my mountains and valleys
clear cutting me down to your size
decorating me with your legs drapery
and their urban sprawl
gagging me with the vomit of you past
where old lovers danced
like cats in heat rubbing you
there at the masquerades,
buzzing with the sting of whispers
and moans
purplegreen bruises
shrouded my heart
and one scat shaded night
you unleashed a locust plague
and removed my soul with the surgical precision
of frenzied sharks
Beautiful words and ideas like dry blood
washed away in the rain
stagnant in the sewer drain.

You've burnt a hole in my universe with your cigarettes and sex
magnetic fields and panty sheilds
nothin touches you, your heart
frozen air
disrupting the land your cold fronts invade
thrashing waters with tropical depression
exterminating inhabitants with pus-filled
infection
rosebuds wither where you go underground.

And bullets drain the sky of all it's blue,
And nothing in the way of hope rings true.

007, I think you poems are cool, but there is another part of this forum devoted to poems, fiction and literature. "Dream out Loud" I am not trying to hassle you but it keeps everything organized and these won't be lost as quick because the flow of those are much slower.

Hey Macphistofly!

Wow, great stuff! You definately belong in the Poet's Corner

You know who your poetry reminds me of? Leonard Cohen -- I don't know, something about it -- I can see Leonard Cohen writing lyrics like this. You two are similar in style. This part especially rings Leonard through it IMO:

You've burnt a hole in my universe with your cigarettes and sex
magnetic fields and panty sheilds

hehe just a little observation -- but I'll stop with the comparisons now

Great job!
