A Poem To Dylan - Visual by =MrsDahmer

A Poem To Dylan

I'm sorry this world treated you so badly,
I wish things could have gone differently,
People can hate you for what you've done,
But they can't hate you for who you are,
Even if now we're two worlds apart,
I still think of you,
And who you could've been
When you looked back in time and said
"Remember when?"
The sharp knife of a short life
No matter what I'd want to tell you,
It never comes out right
The words get lost before they come
And we can't undo what is done
I just hope you finally have peace
The one you so desperately needed
You know, every now and then,
Life begins again
You had the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen
And I will see yoA Poem To Dylan by =MrsDahmer

You have tought me all I know.
For life is most important.
When were with someone we love.
You brought me up through your own eyes.
The eyes of God himself.
For the tears of joy we shared together.
Will be here and forever.

You tought me photography in so many ways.
Our love for trains,
Passions the same.
And I know that time has passed.
Nothing ever lasts.
Though, our memory is through these lens.
With all the best intents.

The time is hard to bare.
That we may have to give back.
Thank you for all that you do.
Time and time again.
I will never let go.
To what I know is true.
And that is, my love for you.

Unstable Daft PartI think it's safe to say
that my mind was betrayed
for my heart just skipped a beat
like really, it's never neat

it is out of control
I am beginning to fall
into this insidious, dark abyss
that doesn't spare any bliss

crazed with assumption
electrocuted by illusion
will this madness ever end
if only I can forever play pretend

don't be fooled by stupidity
too hesitant, too feeble

Missing PieceA piece of me has gone astray,
Do you know where I can find it?
I feel empty, so empty,
Can you tell me how to fill the space?

I know that part of me is you,
It's within you the moment we walk the earth.
Take care of it, will you?
Like the way I'm doing with the part of you in me.

You are what you are.
I am what I ought I am.
Someday we'll meet each other,
Realizing all along we are one.

There's always a best time for everything.
Always a best hour, minute, second.
I know that everything we feel inside
Will soon be free when that best time come.

I trust the Lord, the Almighty King,
I trust him to take care of you so dearly

tragic, painful, catastropic!

a time when all I want to do is stop
Looking straight to where I am going

Shatters, buzzing, clinging!
and again I'm lost
I need a hand to lead me
It's always there, all I need to do is grab
Is this everything that I got?
Panicking, feeling the ache, a rush!
Shut it! I need to lock it!

Being stagnant -- spoilage. Spoilage. Spoilage.
and yet again, I am leaking

Theories about WerewolvesTheories about Werewolves

Werewolves should by all means be considered one of the most widespread and common mythological creatures in legends and stories alike. I would say they come second after the Vampires, that my latest script was about, and I dare say they come close after.
The Greek name for werewolf is Lycanthropis, where the part ”Lykos” stands for wolf, and “antrophis” for human. To put it short, it means “wolf human”, and this type of creature, although it has many names, that can be seen in legends from almost every part of the world.

Theories about VampiresTheories about Vampires

Introduction

Vampires are well known creatures. Mythical, to some. For others, very real. I am amongst one of the latter.
I do not think vampires should put in the same category as undead, for they still have a mind and a will of their own. They are smart, thinking creatures, much like us. The best way to describe them I think is to call them “genetically mutated humans”, for that is what they are, biologically speaking.
As is well known, they feed on human blood in general. But what people might not know is that their bodies are not able to produce blood of their own, so when they feed the blood they draTheories about Vampires by ~Neurotoxiclifeguard

Allegory of the CaveAllegory of the Cave
Scene 1
Narrator (off stage): The Allegory of the cave is a tale created by the Greek philosopher Plato. The Allegory is about a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall. The people watch shadows projected on the wall unaware that a burning fire lies behind them. According to Plato's story, the shadows are as close as the prisoners get to viewing reality. The prisoners believe that the shadows are physical objects because nothing else had ever been viewed. One day, a prisoner who is freed from the cave comes to understand that the shadows on the wall do not make up reality at all, as he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the mere shadows seen by the prisoners. The freed prisoner is astonished at the new world he has been exposed to. A life changing event.

Mockingbird."Mockingbird"

You do not need to hush, little baby,
Daddy has a voice,
Just like you,
So shout it out,

And make me proud.

If I ever buy you a mockingbird
And even if it doesn't sing
Then guide it with your voice
Like Winter guides the Spring.

You don't need a diamond ring,
When I have you and me
And together, we conquer fears
Like colonies to a king.

And if you ever need a hand
To guide you through the dark,
Then take mine, child, and together
We'll never drift apart.

There is no need,
for a looking glass.
The star's light
Will only be dimmed,
From our widened eyes,
And astounded minds.

If you ever needed a billy goatMockingbird. by ~InsatiableStarvation

[1] IntroductionThis is me, this person here,
The one you cannot see--
Since I can't meet you face to face,
You'll have to trust I'm me.
Hiding here in cyber-land
I could be anyone;
A guy, a girl--give each a whirl--
The listing's just begun.
Identity has no place here
One click can change my name;
So many people, even bots,
Each playing their own game...
Guess what, I don't know who you are--
Perhaps your profile lies?
To know for sure with whom I chat,
I'd have to employ spies.
So listen, just between us two,
It's a scary world out there...
The recesses of the world wide web
Hide things unknown--beware.[1] Introduction by ~violetense

And try on daring dreams for size
Test your wings now, have no fear
For all is well and I am here
Go to sleep now, close your eyes
And set your gaze on cloudless skies
Explore the world awaiting you
Summon ship, appoint your crew
Go to sleep now, close your eyes
And dream of truth without the lies
See all there is, learn all you can
Remember when your life began
Go to sleep now, close your eyes
Then wake to see the new sunrise
Rest assured in knowing true
That I'll never stop loving you[39] Dream by ~violetense

And what was panorama
Has staled and crumbled
Yellowed by all the Others
Aligned for one and one alone

I stall in my shallow breaths
Flop into my own safety
Coiling, alone and ravaged by sickness
As my ravenous thoughts
Gorge upon my every festering nerve

I was predestined
To shutter among the rest
As a display of rumbling demolition
Displaced among the dust
The shards and jagged ruble

It sits on my chest, laboring my breath

It was you who did this to me
who stole my smile
who stole my summer rain

Now, driving to fast and dangerously
so I can get away from it
Sounds. So. Freeing.

But like dark secrets harbored by fugitives
I know fleeing to the ocean and beach
or some wide open spaces would only be
a temporary fix, for I can't outrun this

You dragged shards of glass
and broken beer bottles
through what we had
You drew out blood and
watched as it splashed,
yet you were never to blame

fighting to hide tears behind my eyes
as I'm searching for some light

Nothing Matters AnymoreHit a blank wall too many times.
All I end up with is a bruised ego,
It shines black and blue, throbbing
Until there's an ache in my head.

Nothing seems to flow anymore;
A dam has been placed there, treating
Words like uncivilised criminals,
Whipping them into dismal submission.

How did it all end this way?
I am way over my head right now,
Unable to break free, too weak
To pull myself out from this hole.Nothing Matters Anymore by =British-Prophetess

Beauty shines in faded eyes
Faded maybe but oh so wise
When life's difficult worried smile
Facing problems with certain style.

Elegance from bygone years
Silvered hair she has no fear
Moth eaten mink, never worn
Pearls in ears do adorn.

China replete with painted flower
Embroidered cloth took many hours
Dainty biscuits arranged on plate
Serving tea with chocolate cake.

Church on sunday, time for prayer
Painful to kneel or climb stairs
Garden rambling, not so neat

There she spends an idle hour
Memories' drifting holding flower

Conversing with MotherCleansing
No one knows this more
Than the gracious soul I faithfully adore

Although I am rife with despair
I gladly seek, the words she crafts with care
Casting out, the talk of the day
I remain bound to stillness
Longing for her stay

Torn are we
Stern in our silence
With minds teetering, above turmoil and violence

Torn are we
To our fateful ends
As this treacherous voyage sways and bends

Now we must speak
With voices no longer frail or weak
Treasuring the warmth of our cackling bond

Battle of the CenturyI once knew nothing of farewell
Far from the burdens of heaven or hell
All worldly ills, were quietly brushed aside
And I never shivered, never hungry or tried

Weightless days were spawned with delight
Fawned for and adored, with turmoil out of sight
These hours of content, were fleeting and aimless
Marred by suffering, it’s calling blameless

I sprang for motherhood, thrashing and shrill
Drugged by heartache, the fault of its looming hill
I screeched and howled until the winds fled
Until my lungs, were silent with dread

But mother remained, gallantly still
The light of her life was nowhere near its fill
Muttered pleading became ferBattle of the Century by ~Loftydreams101

My Winter Bride Hush, my love
Not a word
Not a sound
Let me kiss your breath away
as I lay you to sleep in the frost covered ground.

I shall dress you in a wedding gown
of lilies so pure and white
Pleading my vows of love eternal
to you, my Winter bride.

Our wedding bed is covered
in a blanket of virgin snow
Stained only by the secrets
I have forced upon it now.

Not a breath

while I love you to death.My Winter Bride by *Ridderkvinden

while you remove your white dress.
Watching you undress,
so slowly and wicked.
A sly grin on my face,
a smile on yours.

I'm wearing my business suit,
while you wear your casual clothes.
We kiss before we drive to work.
I'm already missing you.

DarkenI'm only here
to kill the time.
I need to kill it,
so it can't kill me.
Because I won't be
able to sleep anyway.
I only feel
to fill the spaces.
The large gaps in my
chest, that stop my breathing.
Because life
is empty.
I only speak
to weaken the silence.
It won't go away, no matter
how much I yell.
Because I haven't been here
for as long as I can remember.
I only see
to fight the darkness.
It can't hurt me
if my eyes are open.
Because that's how the
children beat nightmares.
I only live
to hope I die.
I haven't slept
in years.
Because with night I guard my castle;

And say a cheerful hello while

We thrive on our successes and
Despair over tiny failures.

That our heads inflate.

Bound by strings of fate.

Mangled corpses and the agonies that tailed.

Valentine's SurpriseStrawberries dripping with chocolate,
French champagne in cool ice,
The atmosphere screams of romance
And yet it's not a film scene at all.

Hot pink love heart balloons softly
Floating around the half lit room.
Sounds of a saxophone echoes from
The distance soothes the fire within.

As my gaze flickers to the bed,
I am met by an unexpected surprise.
There you are, all sprawled out
Among scattered crimson rose petals.

My sexy Italian man with acres
Of dusty, tanned skin; a navy
Blue cowboy hat slanting to
One side in a come hither manner.

You sure know how to enchant a

Papered ConfessionI am afraid, so very afraid to speak
I can never verbalize my inner want, that thing I desire.
But on paper, in ink I am strong and my fears come down as glass, to break.
I can tell you so much, all of it true, you’ll never see that begotten liar.

I can lay tears, wants, hopes, myself out on paper
Scream out those rage born frustrations too.
Those wicked but sweet things I need to say will come to burn as endless taper,
Wreaking havoc on my lies, and my truths will roar as fire, and I could never rue.

Ask me for a poem, ask me, please do!
All those thing I want to say, must say
I want you to know, to my utter shame, I confess I think Papered Confession by ~Hawk-Moth

Mind Over DesireHe’s gone, moved on, found someone.
I can smile again, I can stop hoping
I can make my peace in being alone,
He wasn’t for me, but my heart kept refusing.

My head has control, I can think again
Though my heart is broken, my mind is joyous.
I can focus, push, persevere; I have everything to gain,
He's otherwise occupied, some other has laid claim.

Waking up from this stupor, I have so much to achieve
He is no longer blocking me, and I couldn’t be happier and free
Thinking of him, tied me down, I had no escape, I couldn’t leave.
He was never for me; I knew that to well, but now I can scream,

The HolocaustMy mind can't fathom, how this could of possibly happened 80 years ago from this very instant. It disgusts me beyond words, it makes me physically sick and I feel an immense sadness, knowing this is part of human history.

How can there be people like this, as disturbing as it is to think of, they do still exist, just as they did a few years back. We are the only species that kills our own for nothing other than the self-proclaimed, sanctimonious pieces of shit ––that are so blinded by their own virtuous lapse, they fail to see love.

How could people have been that way, how could they have been so controlled by a notion, how coulThe Holocaust by *yours----truly

Fuck the system.Fuck the ever so prevalent need to impress.
The prerequisite of popularity, to be appreciated.
The inevitability that talent is cast aside, to make way for the rich and famous.

Fuck giving a damn about the deaths in one country, while millions die daily in silence, without a whimper of acknowledgement.
The obsessed- over, ideal person, that doesn't even appear like what they permeate.

Fuck the biased media, fogging reality, fading away truth, annihilating real freedom of choice, speech and action.
The overly important necessity to feed ourselves with guilt for feeling good, feeling pleasure, comfort or happiness.

sweet cuckoldUrban chants claw their way into children’s ballads,
training those born never to kneel and always break
what their once inflicted Gods made valid
for survival, so even the rich know only to take

and contort at their dictating will;
stock up, to their predecessors’ great shock.
They feed on the rats and roaches they kill
but live off the leaking joys of their cocks.

Bleeding heartaches do not reach them
lest you can prove it within the hour
with the woes you use to jolt your requiem,
your preaching spark that beckons from the tower

of which you lodged yourself in
to hide away your concocted sin.sweet cuckold by ~Calin-4

No More HidingWhere is the flare,
In trafficking among the squalid mundane?
To recover, inside of our boxes
Confined, and prisoner to hideaway

The soul does not flourish
Strangled by the plumes of black smoke
Birthing, her own plumes of green
Subservient to the golden and reckless embers

Loves is bound
Defiled by the ghosts of oppression
The feeble advocates of archaic suppression
For how long shall they reign?

Fixed infatuation
Kidnaps our inherent desires
Violating our tranquil soil of creativity
Their vile roots, sprawling and cancerous

Long deferred dreams
Shall return massing in strength
Rank after rank
Ravaging one soul after the next

An Open-Ended NoteJanuary 13, 2013
Timing, it's all about timing. There may be a reason why I feel this way towards you now – this exact moment. Whenever I think about it, I always ask WHY?! I didn't intend for this to happen. Less I say I have a choice. It's my heart, always has been, which flutters. I can't find a perfect explanation - or maybe, I don't really need one. I just wanted to get through this phase soonest. But it seems I'll be dwelling in this space longer than expected.
Honestly, I was caught off guard! I tried to block it in any way possible. I failed on that, apparently. I have thought about all your flaws, all those bad things. Then again, I don't care. I adore them like I adore your best quirks! Exaggerated as it seems, you are in my mind every single day. It has developed into an infatuation, which is not good and which I have come to loathe. Attraction. Even my subconscious tries to deceive me. Yes, you invade my dreams.
Don't worry, I can handle myself. I have come to acceptAn Open-Ended Note by ~ladyruikai

Writing Intimate RelationshipsA while back, I wrote an essay called How to Write a Romance. In the essay, I outlined what I think makes a good romantic story. Whether you agree with my main viewpoints or not, I think the point that everyone can agree upon is this: writing a believable romance is tricky.
Want to know what's even trickier to write well? Relationships. But, I can hear some of you cry, aren't romance and relationships the same thing? The answer, my lovelies, is no. Romance describes the pleasurable feelings one experiences when in love; specifically, emotions over libido is what counts in romance. Relationships are the interpersonal connections that bind people together; a relationship can be shared by relatives, lovers, friends, sex partners, and the list goes on ad infitum.
While romance is written to evoke feelings one would experience when in love, writing about relationships is much more...complicated. Today I'llWriting Intimate Relationships by ~kimikimochi

Find The DreamSearch deep within your heart, deep into the darkness where faded dreams are kept. Don't give up; the one you are looking for is there somewhere. When you find it, hiding in a corner weeping at lost years, don't leave it there; it's scared and hates the darkness. Lift it gently into the light and watch it transform into a brighter wiser dream than it once was.
You see the darkness taught it the wisdom of why it fell to where all faded dreams goFind The Dream by ~TheWhiteLighter

Angel TearsImagine a raindrop is an angel's tear
Falling from heaven on Gaia's mortal fear
Weeping in unity their children's lost soul
Heaven's pure spirit evil now doth control
Eden of rapture consumed by time's flow
A lost utopia where gluttony doth grow.

Alluring serpent's lair humans covet the bait
Devourer of truth so poisoned with hate
Innocence now lost in maelstrom of desire
Purity long blackened by greed's hungry fire
The spirit debased evil darkens the heart
The nefarious abductor tears the soul apart

The moment approaches the farmer shall reap
Love now eternal for faithful lost sheep
Gnashing of teeth those left in despair

VagueThat one time
when you held my hand
That one time
when you whispered "I can't"
That one time
when I tried not to understand
That one time
when you leaned over and...

It happened,
we crossed the line.

That one time
a vague moment of almost bliss
That one time
a subtle expression that I may miss
That one time
a head-on collision of mind & heart
That one time
a part of you I carry now that we're apart

It happened,
we've just crossed the line.

has effortlessly budged reason
That one time
has totally misplaced my hesitation
That one time
has been etched in my memory
That one time

PostcardsPostcards

In the parking lot, my brother shoots plastic arrows
at our station wagon, sleeping bags piled in the back.
"Can we have a pool shaped like a bass guitar,"
he asks, "when we get to California?" I float gum wrapper boats
in the shimmering heat mirage, my knees barnacled
with scabs and mosquito bites. As we drive, we count road kills,
eighteen wheelers and truck stops named after some guy.
You can drink it," Mom says cutting open a barrel cactus.
"Even if you get lost, you'll never die."
She taped Dad's latest postcard to the dashboard.

FogMy mind clouds over
as drowsiness sets in.
My head swirls with images,
both pure and full of sin.

I can’t keep my head
on the ground at all
because of feelings
that make me feel so tall.

But they do not exist
in the present day.
The clouds clump together,
through which no light can break.

My body weakens thoroughly;
my mind slips away assuredly.
My soul grasps at a crumbling cliff
while my body lays completely stiff.

My sight becomes monochrome
as my eyesight fails me anew.
I reach out to find my way,
I scrape by to get through.

The rain stings my bareness
as the wind chills my bones.
I crave the feeling that I get
Fog by ~jjm239

HeartbrokenI loved, I cared, I gave you all that I could,
My misfortune; I couldn't be all that you wanted.
I hoped, I wished, and I thought you understood,
My misfortune; my heart felt taunted.
I wondered, I asked, and I prayed for your own good.
My misfortune; I felt so unwanted,
I pleaded, I begged, all to share thoughts I could,
My misfortune; I neglected the hurt you had planted.
I was stupid, I was blind, I was unable to read your mind,
My misfortune; I still messaged you.
I learnt my lesson, I felt the world, I now think I know it,
Dont worry, you shall never feel so lacerated.
I promise, I swear, I shall never speak to you again,

All the while, the First-General watched Vincent leave, and as Vincent moved the Armaiche red drapes that hung from the top of the entryway of the base to enter, the First-General reached into a bag that was covered under his belt and grabbed a handful of some crimson sand, placing it in the valley water.
