Any of you?

[Perfect Stu]

Are there any poets or lyric writers here?

I do some now and again, and I thought this could be a place where we could share our writings.

I'll start, regardless...



Going Through the Motions
-MR

Alarm clock, sunshine, birds sing outside,
Breakfast has no taste, and at the milk you stare.
You're going through the motions,
And no one seems to care.

Bus driver, dirty seat, cloudy skies above.
Where the bus goes, you don't know where.
You're going through the motions,
And no one seems to care.

Look down the street, fourty thousand faces
all look happy, busy, no despair.
You're going through the motions,
And no one seems to care.

Another day gone, not one look,
You even tidied up your hair.
You're going through the motions,
And no one seems to care

Lying now, on a bed, thinking,
This world JUST WONT BE FAIR.
You're going through the motions,
And no one seems to care.

Listen now, dont think or speak,
I am proud of you, you perservere.
For going through the motions,
I love you for that, my dear.

Good Job +rep

You know what's a good place to post writing? The Writer's Guild section of the forum.

[thatmariolover]

Indeed it is. But since this is My Forum, we're going to do it my way, and I say it stays.

Anyway, I did post this in a poetry thread a while back in the Writer's Guild. But since that thread died, I'll post it here too. I wrote this when I was in a rut.

Or Either
________

Climbing up a ladder
with no end
and no beginning.
Floating down a river
with no paddle
and no shore.
Speckled with the scars
earned at the crossroads
of life's travels;
my trophies of the pains
I never knew
I would endure.
And through the sadness,
through the pain,
I struggle with a question.
Is life worthwhile
for the trip,
or for the destination?
.
.

Or Either?

[DimHalo]

I like your poetry...
I write some myself too... I'll post a couple later (when I'm back home)

here's one of mine

"Flying"

It's not that she was miserable,
or dreary everyday,
She did agree with life,
and yearned for it to stay,
yet all she really wanted was
to fly away.

In life she held the principals
the virtues of the day
she followed all directions,
and seldom did delay
but all she really wanted
was to fly away.

Away from all the troubles
That live around the block
Away from the door of time
And fears that seemed to knock
It's not as if she feared another day
But all she really wanted
was to fly away.

Away from "I'm not good enough"
Away from "something more"
Away from "Can you help me,”
and an ever whispering roar,
Away from all the requests, she felt she must obey
Yes, all she really wanted
was to fly away.

To leave an open window
And open wide her wings
To stretch them to forever
And see what yonder brings
To see the stars in all their bright array
Indeed all she truly wanted
was to fly away.

To soar with the birds
And dive through the clouds
to feel silence and solace
above all the crowds
to feel the sun's life-giving, golden ray
To feel the beauty,
to simply fly away.

It was her soul's desire,
to be herself one day,
to be her only master
to do things her way
she needed her own person
to discover who she was
to have herself come first
away from all else, above
above all the confusion
above the rattles of the day
what she needed most
was to fly away.

No one understood,
or thought of what SHE had to say
until they looked around
and found she had flown away.

She flew where ere the wind took her,
Where she hoped she could find peace
She flew where she felt happy
Where she could find release
She never knew that she could feel this way
Until the day
She stretched her wings
and flew away.

Another shorter one I had posted in the poetry thread.

_________________________________________
Fragments of closure
Bleeding blue
The color of my soul
I was painted when you left
Screaming black
The color of the world
The life sucked dry – my vampire -
Gray cloud death
Your vanishing feelings
Unforgetting rainy day
Nothing left
The story of my life
Pick up the pieces again
Moving on
My closure complete now
The need for you – memory

Goodbye.
____________________________________________

I wrote this as I was typing (freestyle) a while back, so it's pretty fragmented (hence the title). But I decided to keep it anyway. I guess it kind of... well... signifies my closure to a relationship that ended a while ago. Since you obviously couldn't guess that.... Not at all...

[Joeiss]

Great poems everybody. I used to write some poetry a year or two ago... It wasn't very good, and it was mostly to get my anger out, lol... But I might take a stab at some feelings today, and I might post it when I'm done!
