Out of time
Out of tune
The world keeps singing
and I hum along
out of tune out of time

the black came down it held me in, covered my eyes my hair my skin, made me see the world as if, everyone was harmfull gits, i lost my words they would not come, i sat and hid beneath the hub. It scared me this time, made me fear, what if my words never re-appeared? It lasted longer than it had, for ages i feared i never get back.. The fear of losing myself again, made the black last more than it should... No one could reach me.. i wasnt to be found, the black is like a heavy shroud...
I could feel me in there i could almost touch, the girl who wants to shout an have fun.. why did the black come back this time.. what was the trigger? who was holding the gun? why now.. after all this time? what did i do? where did i go? would i return or would i be lost?
slowly but surely my words came out.. one by one but still no fun.. who wants a furby who sits in the dark.. who needs a furby who cries and with an iced heart.. what if the furby will never be pure.. what if the poision is deeper than she thought?
I retreated to saftey, the bubble i built, i healed i cried i worked with my soul, i know im a good heart i know i can be pure.. if i let myself heal il never be hurt.. i started to blink, to look in the light, i saw me stood there holding my heart.. no one can heal me but me this is true.. but sometimes its hard to walk through the door... when will life become like the tales.. will it ever be easy for me.. to love to live to give to recieve?
One day il learn that im the only one.. the only one who can control my brain.. im the worst enemy i could find.. im the one who brings the most harm..one day il learn to forgive an forget.. one day il learn that life can be great.. one day i learn that love is to be had.. one day il learn that im worth it by far.
never fear furby is here..
never fear furby is there..
never fear furby is everywhere..
what if i fear..
what if im not there
what if i cant get everywhere..?
where is here..
what was there..
will i like it everywhere?
who is furby
where is furby
what will furby do if she cant get everywhere?
sometimes i shout in a crowded room
sometimes i sit in the dark an gloom
sometimes i whimper out loud
sometimes i want the lights to be turned down
sometimes i want some one to be there
sometimes i want some one to be here
sometimes i want some one to be everywhere..
sometimes i want someone for me
sometimes i want someone who will never leave
sometimes i want someone who will care
sometimes i want someone that will just be there.
Looking at her I do nothing,
Still paralysed
Do something,
Foot in mouth brings rejection
When feelings are too strong
only cowardice remains
Do anything
Foot in mouth fears rejection
Looking for signals I missed,
were never there
Do something,anything
but foot in mouth demands rejection
I am very impressed by some of the poetry in here - what a lot of talented and expressive people! I wish I had looked at this thread earlier. I wanted to contribute something too so I had a look back through some of my old poems. This poem is called "One To One."
Warm
Secure
Appreciated
You make me feel...
Close
Held
Touched
It feels so real!
Wanton
Sexy
Aroused
As longing grows
Wicked
Furtive
Dangerous
From head to toes
Excited
Passionate
Trembling
Imagine it!
Sharing
Straining
Groaning
My perfect fit
Building
Joyous
Tremulous
You feel it too
Overcome
With
Ecstacy
’Twixt me and you
Then...
Warm
Secure
Appreciated

This poem is kind of a weird one I wrote when I was playing around with different styles and themes of poetry. The two verses are a little disjointed from each other, I think, and it is kind of unfinished - but maybe that is just the way it should be?
This is called "Sadness is Seductive"
Blues from the booze, reds I have bled,
Yellow the perils that roam through my head.
Grey is my day, my mind starts to crack;
I don’t find green serene when my thoughts are all black.
Melancholy music moves me
And hauls upon my heavy heart.
Tearful tunes make thoughts turn torpid,
Calm the centre’s cloying clamour,
Draw out darkened depths and drown here.
Is this why I find sadness seductive?

Love is there, i feel its stare...
Love is where i fear to bare
Love is what i crave inside
Love is what will push me aside.
to want to love is better than to need
to need to love fills them with a dread and they plead
needing something is not who i am..
wanting something is me and im proud
I dont accept the first hello
i wont seettle for less than i know
i will hold my self in until he is found
the one who will love me no matter no sound
I know there is one, who will see me for me
i know there is one, who will never make me bleed
i know there is one who will always stand by
i know there is one who will never make me cry
i know there is one who will laugh at my jokes
i know there is one who will hit at the pokes..
i know there is one who will scoop me inside
i knwo there is one who will help me to shine
i know there is on who will listen and learn
i know there is one who will not let me turn
i know there is one who will hold out his hand
i know there is one who will never be bad
There is one for everyone so i know this for real
i tell all my friends your lobster will feel
he will find you and fall in love. and you will never need to feel so glum..so i will take on board my words
and listen to the sound of the verse
because im not a hard nose cow.. i do deserve to be someones wow... i will find him but i wont look hard.. because I WANT this man by far. i dont need him so it wont be wrong to sit an wait till the wankers are gone. soon he will spot my smile.. and he will want to stay a while.. he will know me soul is true, he will look at me all blue.. he will see under the frown ..is a beautiful girl whos proud. Proud of her to come this far.. proud of her who now is fine. proud of her to stand up tall.. proud of her to never bawl..
THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE... KEEP FAITH..
Once lit the brand
burns bright
No tiny candle this
but unwavering light,
Though at times gutters
it remains alight,
Warms the days
and illuminates the night.
Watch for it ever
keep it in sight,
though it burns ever smaller
it burns ever bright.
Poor Percy
hid in a corner
sick as can be.
Awww Furbs,
Nice to see a different side to you. Well done.
HUG ME, HOLD ME, KISS ME, MISS ME
I want to be alone
lock my self in my room
turn my music up real loud
ignore all things in my way
and throw them to the ground
brake the mirrors
rip the pictures
pull my hair
scream and shout
let me be alone
to brush my slate of anger away
wait until its still and quite
then hug me, hold me, kiss me, miss me.

People see me, think I’m brave. Wonder how she never caves….
People see me; think I’m happy, wonder how she’s stay sunny
People see me, think I’m fine.. Never think to ask me why….
Why are you here my dear, what makes stay.. Is it fear?
Why don’t you go away, somewhere where you’ll find it safe..
But I ask you where is that..? the place ill feel safe at last…
Someone tell me, please I beg… I need to find my resting place.
Im so alone in all this world.. not one person to lean unto..
No family now, they turned there back, my friends, in life they don’t notice much
My babies gone, to another life, one with out me to hold them tight…
No one there to say hey, im sad, no one to say please.. give me a hug…??
Is this it.. is this all I get.. after all ive done an sacrificed, is this the life that I get dealt
Was it worth the pain and tears, of walking away from all that was dear….
Was it worth the deepest fear that life is hell and I came back!
I should of stayed asleep I feel.. where at least I was warm and without fear…
But instead they pulled me back, woke me from my peacefull time.
Made me get up an walk again, made me face the world that’s dead
Dead to me as I to it.. dead as if I was never here..well fuck you world
I ve had enough, enough of holding myself back.
Find the light
Ignite the flame
Shoot for the heart
Bypass the brain
Behind the facade
Through all the pain
You may finally light
Lifes bright burning flame
Burn bright
burn hot
scorched
I retreat.
I watch you,
Yet I cannot speak.
My tongue is tied
And it makes me weep.
Interested in you, I am.
But my shyness withholds me from action.
Silent in the dark
still in action
lost in contemplation
I remain inert.
Cold and frosty
I fumble for the key.
At last the lock turns
I am surrounded by warm scented air.
Rich ruby red wine
warm and full of spice I take to my lips.
I climb the stairs to pull back clean sheets.
I slip in.
I wake to find
the sheets slipped away
and empty glass.
Cold again.
Im confused... is it me?
Am i a fake? a parody?
what is wrong with saying no?
does that word make me sink low?
should i say yes yes yes...
and settle for someone less..
lower than me, or what i need..
would that make me some kind of weed?
I stay along the path i picked..
but at times it makes me sick..
I dont want to be alone...
but i wont lay down until im known!
I was told im a control freak
I shold relax an let them peek..
into my eyes,my heart my soul
but thats private i dont want to shown.
Words strung like pearls
on a net
strong and resilient
I am caught.
Life, what is life really about?
what is are reason for living?
we live to love, we love to live
life is sweet, life is short
so why do we love to live for hurt
so why do we live to love for hurt
life is sweet, life is short
no one knows when love will hurt
we live to learn what loves about
love, what is love really about?
life is sweet, life is short
love your life before its gone!
So I return to my self pitying pen
To wail once more of my despair,
Moaning of what's stolen and what's lost,
Adding up the cost,of my apathy.
Again i cry, why me
And sit inactive,trying to dream my life;
My world as a poem of beauty and joy;
Me,as a man of strength and purpose;
I sit inactive,wailing despair;
And my self pitying pen again fails,
Brings no redemption.
Fuck 'em
and their selfrighteousmoralisticjudgementalhypocritefuckingindination
Fuck 'em , fuck 'em
And their

fuck 'e , fuck 'em, fuck 'em,
and their
tritedissmissivekneejerkviews,
Fuck 'em,fuck 'em,fuck 'em FUCK THEM.
In a trial and error world
Kangaroo courts and catastrophe
is all I find
In a love 'em and leave 'em life
left unloved
is all I get
In a bright and breezy world
dazzled and windswept
is all i am
Im trying hard this year not to hide...
down into the black inside..
with christmas on its way again,
i dont want to this year wake up dead..
its been five years now since that time
and this year im really trying hard..
that i can do this without fear..
that the black wont take, instead il cheer..
il celbrate that im alive.. its still not quite the path i desired..
but its what ive got, so il make do, with all my freinds who help me through.. most dont know where i have come, and i wont tell them, it makes them glum.. but if you worry dont even think.. cos ive been worse and i still grin.
but still i fink dam this is shit.. i woke up an all i got was this but never mind its too late now.. i wont fall down and lay on the ground, got things to do.. one foot two, keep plooding on till this is through, then il rest an lay my head.. and sleep until my dying day.
babies, bails an little cait i miss you more than words can say, i think about you every day an i wish that there was more to say, you probably think ive gone gone gone, but babies im still here, still your mum.. il always have you near to me, in my heart that beats with me, and while that beats the drum of love, il never stop thinking of you, my doves... our time will come i promise you, we will share the love thats stored here for you, il keep it safe till you are back, and hope an pray you love me back.....
I have seen beauty
not apparent
i have seen beauty
in her soul
in her heart
and reflected in me
This one is for anyone who has ever been in a lonely place, I wrote this before I met Asha, its not exactly a poem, but its close enough..
from Jerichos Walls Are Falling:
Love. I always thought I would have found it by now. I am not just talking about an emotion shared between two people. I mean something greater, an unparalleled connection, something so pure, something so soulful; something that transcends any other experience that you ever shared with anyone in your life.
I know it is hard to find but I just thought I would have reached with someone, in that way. Now, now the road ahead is so uncertain and I have been touched by the dark and it wants to keep me there, it doesn’t want to let go, it surrounds me, isolates me and then it try’s to suffocate me.
But the more it try’s to do that, the stronger I must become, with each obstacle it throws into my path it will cover me with a coat of new resilience. I cannot let it turn my fears into bitterness, my failures into depression, my hopes and dreams must live on, as they always have and I will take this evil and I will turn it around, against itself because what does not kill me will make me stronger and on the days when I can no longer walk, those will be the days when I learn to fly and if that love does not seek me out in this lifetime then I shall find it in the next when all those who have gone before us will be re-united with their soul mates and we will stand together so pure of heart that our strength will never die.
And those who looked down upon us, who tried to isolate us, whose contempt for us was always made so clear, I will pity them, for such a love they could never have, for they were the ones who were consumed by their own fears and ignorance and as we rise up they will look up towards us but we, we will no longer see them as they just fade away.
Then our hearts will be triumphant when the angels hold our hands and fly with us through this life, or the next.

A special festive one.......
Another year drips away,
Saying same,same
New year beer pissed away,
Saying same,same
Christ child born killed resurrected,
Saying same,same,
All the changes drift away,
Saying same,same
All chances slip away,
saying shame,shame
the one i loved, messaged me...
What to feel, what to think...
He hurt me bad, said he had never loved..
But now he says his head was mud...
Can a person change there mind...
and feel now something they hid inside?
if he left me cos of fear..
wont that still be there not clear..?
He was the one who broke down my walls..
he was the one, who knocked down my inner doors..
he was the one i gave in to ...
he was the one who left me in fear..
fear that il never love again
fear that il never trust again
fear that il never be good..
good enough to be loved so true...
god its hard i want him so..
but can i trust a mans whos leaving blow..
left me reeling for months on end
fearing my heart would never mend...
Ive turned to ice since that day..
when i found out from the words he said...
that he didnt want me, i was to nice..
he loved his ex and was going back
thanks for loving me, he said, but i cant love back cos its not you i feel., the cliche lines came thick an fast, its not you its me im dark, im black inside, im not good for you, wrong time wrong place, who ever knew.., it could of been good... he ran away, never explained, left me feeling lost and drained, he was the man who finally, got in my head an set me free... let me be the me who feels... let me open my eyes an see.. that love was there, even for me... just as i relaxed and sighed, and breathed, and let down my walls so he could come in, he waited till i felt finally free, then left and ran with tail between legs.....
what do i do , how do i feel.. do i trust this man i still feel... iknow inside i never stopped, hoping and wishing he'd find himself lost, lost without me in his life, wishing and wanting him to walk back.. to tell me the words i loved to hear, furby baby i love you ive missed you oh dear...
but then i get strong and wipe away tears, and shout... to the mirror your better!! no Fear!!!.. your worth more than hand me downs, if he wanted you then he wouldnt need to crawl back, cos he wouldnt of left and walked away not looking back, he would of looked at you and chose to stay, so furby baby hold up your head.. you might be ice queen but at least you not scared. So what if you dont ever fall deep again, who needs love it just shits in your bed!!!!
Each grain taken up in tumultuous water.
Carried by River Life.
Each grain of sand buffeted by River Life.
Fast runs River Life, each grain carried.
River Life rolls on, sedate she becomes.
Now each grain settles to bottom.
Now each grain commands River Life.
Which is the river, the water or the banks that contain it?
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed 'round the room and I cherished the sight;
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell....a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight;
The sparkling lights on the tree, I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep;
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem.
So I slumbered in peace, then I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it came to my ear;
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble. I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near;
Standing out there alone in the cold of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I reckoned, some eighteen years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled there in the cold;
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, my wife, and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment! It's freezing out here;
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on this cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment, I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold, and the snow in a drift;
To the windows that danced with a warm fire's light,
Then he sighed, and he said, "It's really all right."
"I'm out here by choice. I'm here all the time,
It's my duty to stand at the front of the line;
No one has to ask me, or beg, or implore,
I'm proud to stand here like my father before."
"My grandpa at Pearl, on a day in December,
Is a memory my grandma will always remember;
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam,
And now it's my turn, and so, here I am.
I've not seen my family in more than a while,
But my parents send pictures. They're great for a smile."
Then he bent down and carefully pulled from his bag,
The Red, White, and Blue. An American flag.
"I can live through the cold, and this being alone,
Away from my family, my house, and my home;
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole, with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life for my buddy.....my brother;
Who stand here with me against any and all,
To insure for all time that this flag does not fall.
So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
Give you some money? Prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you do,
Being away from your home and your family too."
Then his eyes welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget;
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone;
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, wither standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled,
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you, as you mattered to us."
