Mardrax Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) Why was the smiley face yellow? It started simple enough: colon - dash - bracket period Other punctuations waiting in line, waiting, realising; it wasn't their time. Possibilities were myriad. "When do I come?", one asked with a huff. Semicolon - he was an odd fellow. The dash then did drop Full stop "Soot covering your skin" Edited September 4, 2006 by Mardrax
Mynx Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Soot covering your skin As the fire burns around you Flames licking at your feet As you wander through the ruins Burnt remains crack underfoot As the screams of survivors ring out Blood dripping from sword's blade As you finish your revenge "The prey among the wolves"
cryptomancer Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Posted September 5, 2006 The prey among the wolves, Dancing through fools, Pirouetting through the glades of light, Entrancing the waiting beasts. Slipping softly from grasp to grasp, Evading capture’s snare, Gently flowing through the crowded room, Attracting more than stares. Like mist through curtains of vine, She softly disappears, The crowd calls to her departing shadow, Appetites acutely aware. "Kisses of frozen dew, beheld my lover's form"
Mardrax Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Kisses of frozen dew, beheld my lovers form. On frosted lawn we lay, right outside the dorm. We'd lain there for a while, as I looked in her eyes, whispering sweet words to her, whispering goodbyes. She'd not said a word to me, which left me no suprise, she had found a strange man, a devil in disguise. Left his mark on her he had, that night, which hurt me to the bone For he had hit her on the head, with this great big stone. Robbed her of her purse he had, but at least he'd shown courtesy to lay her there, on lawn that was freshly mown. "Rabbits fled into their holes; The man revved up his car" Edited September 5, 2006 by Mardrax
cryptomancer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Posted September 6, 2006 Rabbits fled into their holes; the man revved up his car, Spitting up the desert dust, the gravel flew quite far, Gunning the engine, gunning the bullets, Grinding the gears, firing the pellets, Bunnies laugh at the silly show, Deep in their borrows, hidden below "Shards of turmoil on the ground, scatter in the rain."
Mardrax Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 Shards of turmoil on the ground; scatter in the rain. Bits of broken glass around; avoiding the pain. Lengths of barbed wire wound; clogging up the drain. Empty bottles, grief drowned; numbing out my brain. People are always abound; syringe luring again. A hobo on the ground; corner of 5th and Main. "Any amount of actual taste can attest"
cryptomancer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Posted September 6, 2006 Any amount of actual taste can attest, That taste bud temptation is their domain. Sinful names, and neon explains The seven deadly sins taste best. Combiningly intricate, flavour omnipotent, Each recipe a true delight, But nibble a bit on the hellish ribs, And you will soon recognize my plite. (OOC: Visit www.hell.co.nz and you shall understand.) "Percolating on a tray of silver"
Mardrax Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 Percolating on a tray of silver, (it's bloodmoney's gift) the poison seeps through, drop by bloody drop. Chemicals bound together in stale white, (it's not my delight) synthesised from clearest opiate. Taken by my neighbour's youngest daughter, (not my responsibility) to limitless wealth. She's my heroin. now for the "try" percolating on a try of silver-- attempt anew I dust off now-- golden lined endeavour retried, regrew Rather weak, I admit... Haiku's never were among my assets Had to prevent falling back into 10/5/5's somehow though 0_o anyway.... "our stains attracting"
cryptomancer Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Posted September 7, 2006 *claps* Nicely done. Our stains attracting, Darkest shade, Spirits outreaching, Light we made. Our heavens entwining, Cloudless skies, Souls exploring, Each other’s eyes. Our love outlasting, Each moment a gem Wealth outmatching To my world you bring. "Til the colour fades from your heavenly eyes"
Mardrax Posted September 7, 2006 Report Posted September 7, 2006 *bows* I seem to be getting grimmer though Til the colour fades from your heavenly eyes I will be your hell, the blemish on your skies. As long as you are belle, I'll be your demise. My nails will be like blades, my weapons in disguise. Til the roses wash off your divinelike cheeks, I will be your torment, troughout your final weeks. You might then descend into that shambling mass of geeks, I'll cut trough them all, like romans did trough greeks. Til the hair falls out of your elysian head, I will be usurping you, until you and yours are dead. "Depthless windows into the world"
cryptomancer Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Posted September 8, 2006 Some of the best tales were 'Grimm' Depthless windows into the world, Shapeless portal to the void, Same single pain of crystal soul, The pivot of my being’s whole. Joyous world forever seen, So deep the darkness held within, My voice trapped in muddy eyes, A mire fed by the tears I cry. Caressed shell of my universe, Bade to break, fragment, disperse, Each star I see now heaven born, Godess, my sky, by your eyes formed. "Winter tells my soul's rebirth"
WrenWind Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 Winter tells my soul's rebirth. A world wrapped in ice. There will be no summer mirth. Spring melts what is left of love. Nothing grows near me. Cries a single Mourning Dove. *Distant bells toll*
cryptomancer Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Posted September 8, 2006 Distant bells toll Each report and echo, Blow upon the winds of sound, Resounding in my soul. Distant bells chime, The shattering of pain, Running shards across my skin, The memories of time. "winds of mountain airs decend"
Mardrax Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 winds of mountain airs descend flows of seas' waters befriend all of nature's wrath attend my words as I comprehend the images before me the things that will be eternity's new plea over a cup of tea prophecies revealed soon all under a brittish noon man that's... lame "all modern economics claim"
cryptomancer Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Posted September 9, 2006 I asked Mynx to write this as it is topical to her chosen course of study. All modern economics claim To help, when all they do is maim, The mind and spirit, The will to live, They take it all and never give. We're offered facts, but given lies, Told to trust these wolves in disguise. Above all, what makes it worse? It's compulsary to take this curse. (by Mynx from the Slopes of Ruapehu) "Sadistic treatment from helping hand"
Mardrax Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) Sadistic treatment from a helping hand. A man of cloth with countless slaves. Bearded pedophile in red and white, handing out presents that break in weeks, and none of daddy's superglue can fix that. *grin* Hi Ho Holidays! For those wonder by the way, this wasn't inspired by Santa Clause, rather than by his predecessor, Saint Nicholas, though it probably would fit old Santa as well, he's not a man of the cloth though "A conflagration of awareness" Edited September 9, 2006 by Mardrax
Mynx Posted September 10, 2006 Report Posted September 10, 2006 You should read "Nicholas Was..." by Neil Gaiman
dragonqueen Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 A conflagration of awareness A fire starting in my brain Ravaging my thoughts Igniting sudden comprehension. The fog before my eyes Is burned away. And in the clearing smoke, I see what I could not see before. My doubt dwindles to cinders, And faith leaps from the ashes. "Music softly blaring all around"
Mira Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 Music softly blaring all around And two dance slowly to the silent sound A pair of hearts fill in for the missing drum's pound The melody played out by their feet on the ground They escape away to the place that they've found A place just beyond the night's hidden bound And though the groups of people still surround They are alone, In love. "Dispell this pernicious ennui"
reverie Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 (edited) Dispel this pernicious ennui Words placed below a lithograph: Orphan girl, Tokyo 1945, Caption fading. In the lavender bloom Of a false spring, body wasted In perpetual slumber, Her every breath collapses Into a sigh. *** Here's an easy one: "The path I walk" Edited September 13, 2006 by reverie
Mardrax Posted September 13, 2006 Report Posted September 13, 2006 the path I walk - a cobweb in white tracing across that strange yellow brick road seen by a hawk - i'm stalked by a chalk how our two bodies must seem interlocked it calls in mock diving into its flight - in that split moment we seemed to explode me and my chalk the path that we walk ending now suddenly, in the beak of a hawk now I will talk in midday's full light contemplating this, the words I now wrote how 'bout this end? it seems too ad hoc my mind seems to have run into a block "that delicious caramel filling"
Disco-neck Ted Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 That luscious caramel filling In chocolate black and bold Seducing naive tastebuds And loosing Reason's hold Yes, sinful little confit Exploding in the brain Singing songs of ersatz love: Addiction cancels pain So playful sweet confections Hold loneliness at bay Hand to mouth and don't go out- A tiny price to pay Now feel the candy coating Adipose, thick and gray Closer than a lover's touch And faithful, here to stay With the trembling last dessert The final trade is done Half a heart without love's grace Ends half a sad sweet song Oh, creamy casket filling Or ashes in an urn We move into the afterlife With calories to burn That creamy casket filling Draws the Reaper 'round He savors every mouthful And never gains a pound. (Thanks to David Letterman's Top Ten List of Keebler Elf Euphemisms for Death for inspiration, and for the line "creamy casket filling") Shadows chase the errant clouds
Elvina Posted September 14, 2006 Report Posted September 14, 2006 Shadows chase the errant clouds, ushering in the dark. With blackness do our urban shrouds' shadows chase the errant clouds of frightened, scattered, angry crowds. Like a frenzied, hungry shark, shadows chase the errant clouds, ushering in the dark. That was a triolet, which is why it might seem a bit repetitive. New line: Graceful, slender lines and form
WrenWind Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 Graceful, slender lines and form Delicate touch of toes to floor Twirl and leap in perfect execution A little girl smiles, her first recital Tense parents in the front row Marvel at her beauty and poise Worry that she will trip or fall Glowing with pride for thier child She dances fluidly as if in flight her mind lost in another world The music flowing over and through her She is the dance, miniature primadona gooey marshmallow filling dripping
Mardrax Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Gooey marshmallow filling dripping Red and bright yellow tongues whipping Around that fellow's stick Quickly roasting his midnight snack Sitting next to his best friend, beauty in flamed maple: An-Chang. She's bound beside him, never spoke, but clearly sang she would be with him to the end. We sat there for while, looking at the fireworks, faces in flickering smirks, around the stone-bound isle. His attention flared, -expression of dismay- our last sweet reprise'd fared onto the pitch black clay. The remnants boiled blackened on the end of his stick. She was picked up with a shrug, calmly singing us the dirge. A-five, D-two, G-two, B-three. I could just resist the urge to cry over our glucose drug. He played her like a fiddle, knew when to pluck her strings. How bound she is, she still sings. To me she'll always be a riddle. I need a love with keys to press we'd be just a mess otherwise Oh the joys in sugary poetry "Cow, chicken, wheat and sugarcane" Edited September 16, 2006 by Mardrax
