"Antiquity Musings"

It's more of a victory poem to me than a dark one... it's real hard to explain but... *HUGS*
"Antiquity Musings"
I had a necklace once
you would've thought it was the prettiest thing
cuz yeah it shined in the light
and i guess maybe i was sweet-talked too
but anyway
i had this necklace once
and everyone loved that shining strand
cuz yeah he shined in the light
and i guess maybe i was blind-faced too
but anyway
i had this necklace once
and it could get past anyone undetected
cuz yeah it shined in the light
and i guess maybe i was enchanted too
but anyway
i had this necklace once
and he could twist so many ways around the truth
cuz yeah he shined in the light
and i guess maybe i was frightened too
but anyway
i had this necklace right
and it was choking me in the darkness
cuz yeah it only shined in the light
and i guess maybe i was worthless too
but anyway
i had this necklace once
and it was choking me
i wasn't a brave girl
was just so terribly vain
so i kept wearing it
til the bruises showed
and i finally gave it up
cuz i needed to let go
so i tore it from my neck
and i threw it to the floor
and now when they look at him
their faces don't shine no more
yeah cuz now they see my pretty necklace
not shining in the light
but wrapped around me in the dark
i had this necklace once
you would've thought it was the prettiest thing
but i don't let him like like that anymore.

*HUGS* And there it is.

Life
burns me...
a mere glance
flays the flesh
from my bones,
leaving burned
scarred, husk
of fleshless skeleton,
broken wings,
shattered limbs,
whispering,
whispering,
let me in...
darkness let me in...
take me,
love me, bleed me free
of sanity,
let my sympathy
run dry,
let my heart
beat die,
sever me of my tears,
bind me to the painless void,
scatter my thoughts to a million
starpoints,
explode my brain unto a billion
worlds,
shrink my heart beneath infinity,
tear my wretched soul into
a million flocks and a billion folds,
strip my emotions, rip them free,
bind them to the stars,
for all to see,
but don't...
don't give up my vanity...
it's the only thing
that listens to me...
everything else...
take it all
just let me see,
my impact on the vague,
ethereal realities...

The light is gone
the fire quenched
he's felt the ice cold touch of death
such as so shall we
afterwords we wonder if there's a place for those
Who have escaped this fragile thing called life
at first he shock will leave you numb
and then sets in the rage
we curse the fate that looked around
and chose our loved ones to take
The anger fades, our curse's die on our lips
and the the feeling that your all alone
settles above your hips
staring down at the one we loved
so blissfully unaware
we realise that their smile will see no more
we shake our heads slowly
taking the time to mourn
for all we can do in end
is slowly walk out the door

Thank-you Night Owl for your words, 
You're faster than a snail, 
Getting the autodetection every few minutes, 
Of my incoming mail. 
That should keep away the nazis, 
That want to disconnect, 
Now I'll be connected lots, 
But my marriage will be wrecked! 

thanks for the idea, bud.

"Disappointment"

disappointment
i see it dripping from your face
just like the others
nothing more than a waste
cuz i was the perfect one
at least in your eyes
now i've given reason
to call up your despise
someone please hate me
cuz i'm hating myself
and i'm trapped in a corner
and i could use some help
disappointment
i was the one who was gunna be
something bright
i was the one who was gunna
set everything right
now you walk right by me
i was destroyed before my start
when they tainted my skin
they must've tainted my heart
someone please hate me
cuz i'm hating myself
and i'm trapped in a corner
and i could use some help
disappointment
just like everyone else
i kept my secrets
as long as i could
and in the end, just like them
i'm no good.
well
i'm disappointed too
in the lack of support
i've gotten from you
cut me deep
you went to the other side
and all the guilt
is in my eyes
someone please help me
cuz i'm hating myself
and i'm trapped in a corner
and somedays
there's no ways out
i'm going to be alright
once i get across
but this is hard to do
when the bridge is lost.

I read your piece with great interest,
It was a great piece of work,
But something need to be clarified,
What is it that's limp, Lerk?                                                    

I sympathise with your poetic surprise,
With poems that do not rhyme,
The medium is satisfying, yet oddly bitter,
Like lemon with a twist of lime.

Discerning readers would be aware,
Of the Ymir family plot,
To hostilely take over the Unwashed,
To rule in our own right - NOT!
It seems that my raving of the lst few months,
Has intrigued a few of the clan,
They have joined and posted,
There is no insidious plan.
So, be nice to my nephew Pugsley,
And Charlie, my wife,
But to my sister Craggy Crone,
Give her ALL sorts of strife!
