I am a brussel sprout
hated by the whole lot
Ive nothing to give out
other than stinkinessBut I quite like that
the rawness is attractive
greeny greeny round balls
puts your arse in practiceMemories are made of this
things we like and hate
Id rather be a sprout
than a fake baked alaskawrapped in pretty sponge
with a freezing cold middle
how the fuck do they do that
they must be on the fiddlebaked alaska global warming
fake panic in the warning
live your life and live it good
cos I am and I believe we shouldlong time dead
say it all the time
I cannot help but
try to make it rhymeoff to bed I go
up at five thirty
eldest is off to froggy france
why do I so worry23 June, 2008 at 12:19 am #306555did I just say all that out loud? :oops: :lol: ffs get a grip girl!
23 June, 2008 at 9:06 am #306556the two phrases in French you need to know;
1) je ne parle pas bien francais- I don’t speak good french
2) ou’est la toilette?- where’s the bog?
(some accents meant to be there but can’t be arsed to include them)23 June, 2008 at 9:29 am #306557I watch the blood
drip from my hand
I look up to the mirror,
and yes, I am damnedWhose blood this is
I cannot tell
but those eyes in the mirror
are not mine as wellWho is that ghoul
that leers at myself?
With his carnivore smile
and dreams of ill healthHis mouth moves in silent
whisper, an unspeakable truth
I stumble backwards
from this thing
of my haunted youth‘begone demon’
I say to it.
Its breath rank and heavy
all it touches becomes as $hitI turn to run for my life
it just stands there
its eyes on my back
looking for where
to place its knifeand so it remains
to this very day
the shadow behind my back
in the mirror, that won’t go away23 June, 2008 at 1:25 pm #306558the Leviathan
rises from the oceans
deep, and with breath
of fire, boils the seaThe Behemoth
wades out of its
charnal pit and charges
desolation marks its pathThe brother to these
horrid fiends is of name obscure
while they were made to destroy
this one was made to soarhigh above the clouds
a guardian of nature
the Ziz with wingspan vast
flies overhead, its tail a rainbow
soothing its brothers back to
slumber until the judgement day23 June, 2008 at 2:57 pm #306559Typhon and Echidna
parents of monsters
such as hydra,
cerberus and chimerademons all of them
who were never angels
born already fallen
from God’s graceChtonic, they thought
to be as peers,
of gods, slain by
mortal hand driven
by divine reckoningthe gods were jealous
that much is said
that something Earth bound
could cause more fear
than what resides after death23 June, 2008 at 3:55 pm #306560I told a Lie
mayhaps a while a go.
Too much time for it
to fester and growToday the Lie
hatched from its egg
and from its hideous form
it raised an ugly horned headIt then bellowed
and screamed
until it was noticed
its content more dire
than first it seemed.
Denial would be hopelessIt latched onto my back
and called bloody murder
its insidious attack
embedding guilt furtherIts crying grew louder
its bulk grew more dense
until, tears rolling, I stated
‘I drop this pretence’Startled the beast fell
off of my back
a shocked look on its face
as its carapace began to crackI watched stunned
as the horror shed its form
and something beautiful emerged
as the Truth it was reborn.23 June, 2008 at 4:34 pm #306561its seems to be
that of my poems
I only like one out of threeso to save me
from hassle later
maybe I should write
them using pen and paperIn fact this very poem
is only worthy for scrap.
But as I begin to delete
instead I submit
…(oh crap)(that’s one down and two to go)
23 June, 2008 at 4:37 pm #306562I like your stuff Forget Me Not.
The Classical references are impressive 8)
Respect.
