what is that voice
in the pit of your brain
arguing with your thoughts?
you do one thing, it thinks
another. you think one thought,
it's performed another.
the cat and mouse chase
around your mind
of the conscious
and subconscious
rolls on.



Verlyrus -> RE: Fluid Emotion (12/31/2009 17:49:41)

Sureness.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Why don't you wait, see what happens?
You could jump in now, but what if
you were wrong?
If you wait, you could test the water,
see what may occur.

But if you wait for later,
the water may be gone,
evaporated, and
the ground
could be
left dry.

Always jump in.
Better to swim out,
pained,
than to crawl out,
broken.

Be sure.

when everything breaks apart for you,
when everyone leaves you in the dust,
when all grows dark and hope seems lost,
and alone you wander through the maze
there is always another flower, growing,
somewhere by your feet, no matter what
you think or what you've done, or what you've tried
or what may be. tend to it. it will not last forever.
wait too long, and the flower may wilt, another might
seize it from your grasp, and back through the darkness
you will wander alone.

to be alone
with yourself
in your mind
is a luxury
to be given
up
sometimes
often to be
with others
to share ideas
to laugh and talk
yet
when you want
to contemplate
the passings of
the day the week
the past and present
to withdraw into
your mind
alone
is beyond
divine.

not in a poetic mood
comfortable in life
except for
that nagging feeling behind
your brain
the guilty conscience
telling you that
you need to do
your homework.



Verlyrus -> RE: Fluid Emotion (12/31/2009 17:53:50)

how can you express
the emotion and pain
inside, out
to the world? and
for what purpose?
how? through music
through rhythm and
art and writing
and dance and
combat and closing
your eyes and swaying
in the breeze, in the
beat of the sound
and notes.
the thoughts clash
and fight to get out
of the head into
the air and onto
the page where they sit
there waiting for you
or someone else
to look at, examine.
to understand and sympathize,
perhaps to inspire.
you analyze the beauty
of the thoughts and the flow
and release:
just release,
and release
your mind from the grasp
of cares and stress
and be.

too much
to do in so
little time.
leave it on
the shelf
for another
day, until
the shelf
breaks,
and the floodgates
open,
and you drown
in a sea
of work,
emotion,
and broken
you sit down
and are lost.



Verlyrus -> RE: Fluid Emotion (12/31/2009 17:55:51)

45.
you know what will happen
the whole of next week;
you've got it all written down
in a little black book,
all the attacks and pains
and battles you must fight
with most of all, yourself.
so stand up, chest out,
strap on your armor,
pick up your sword, and
charge. carpe diem et
eam excide, quod illa
semper praesto te
delere sum. for only
you can save yourself.
head out to battle.
fight well.

*translation of the Latin.
seize the day and cut it down, for it is always ready to destroy you.

for you
may the skies
remain eternally gray.
for you
may you wake
to darkness and night,
that turns
in the light
to skies eternally gray.

the alarm disturbs you
roll over and check
6:45- too early
you slap the snooze button
miss
and hit it on the third try

you get up an hour later,
tumble out of bed,
glance outside
at the skies
eternally gray.

you get dressed, listening
and watching the rain
fall pitpat on the window
glass-like your consciousness
is fragile
slipping in and out of sleep
under skies
eternally gray.

the air is chilly but not cold enough
to warrant the wearing of the
jacket (that would be too warm)
but uncomfortable enough
with the rain to make you
curse the skies eternally gray.

for your sins, for your guilt
for your regrets and your lies
may your skies be eternally
gray.

the world spins on its axis
oblivious
to
the chaos crawling over
it
the madness and injustice and
unfairness that absolutely
dominates it
and allows some old wound
to be pried open
stuffed with salt
and vinegar
and stepped on
that old wound
that never seems to heal
that ridiculous wound
silly
unecessary
inappropriate
deceitful
wound
called
love.

angry, lost,
so close, and yet
so far,
if only this had happened
if only that-
but the past is past.
life moves on.
moves on too quickly
too busily
like living on
a roller coaster
it's a theme park ride
with its ups and downs
spending forever climbing up,
higher and higher,
watching the ground
and people get
smaller
as
they're left behind,
just to fall.
fall back down
in an instant.
and there's nothing left
but the chaos that follows
corkscrews and loops and
confusion.
so why get on the ride
this roller coaster
so-called amusement
is it fun for you?
to have your heart lifted
to the top of the world
head in the clouds
then dropped into your stomach
that pit of acid
where it burns and festers
blisters and dies?
ridiculous.
but anger...
is not the cure.
anger is the past,
anger is hate,
revenge
fear
of what has happened.
anger consumes.
but when all is gone
inflamed and charred
there is always a seed
of hope buried
ready to sprout
and take root in
the ashes.

Here we go again and again
'round and 'round
spiraling down
even though you
in your mind
are already at the bottom,
dizzy and lost
in a tar pit,
everything dragging by
too fast.
and soon enough
you find yourself
at the top
ready to drown
'round and 'round
again.

what a shame
the heart spinning
'round and 'round
again out
of sync
with the thought
the longing
obsession that
is never fulfilled
the pain and the
rage of the completely
irrational that needs
an outlet to flow
the dam that was built
creaks a little but
it needs to
explode



Verlyrus -> RE: Fluid Emotion (7/6/2010 3:34:30)

the clashing of the
unlikely warriors
breaking free from
opposite ends of the
spectrum of the soul
they fight with swords
in the head behind
the eyes where when
closed the colors
dance
or something
and the melee
slows the
functionality
to a dead
halt
until both
love and
hate
give up
the fight
in a cloud
of uncertainty.



Verlyrus -> RE: Fluid Emotion (7/6/2010 3:42:04)

forever beware
the siren's call
singing pleasures
through the air
they lure you
quickly in too
deep. there's no
escape for once
they find their prey
they never let you go
not forever
and later still
you find yourself
sinking thinking
back down
to the siren
song full
of promise
of wonder
of delight
of pleasure
of lies



Verlyrus -> RE: Fluid Emotion (7/6/2010 3:44:40)

there's that connection
between the eyes and
the brain and the rest
of the body that
never seems to be
fulfilled when the time comes
to shut everything down
and the clouds obscure the vision
which in turn obscures the brain
and all hell breaks lose
and thoughts wander too far
too soon and fast
and words that can't
be unwritten or unread
it's times like that you wish
you had
a time machine.
