Un-knowing the warmth of hearth and fellow man, they expertly succumb. And so return, as warriors on a ghostly path. Last Edited by Waterbug on 02/03/2013 07:18 PM |

Will it bring us to the ultimate conclusion? Or lead us down the path of colorful delusion. True enough to believe, False enough to deceive, Those words that flow like water. Do they deserve our attention? Are they valuable enough to mention? Lost in a sea of misunderstanding, Searching for the shore in hope of landing. A glance behing the curtain Could reveal the TRUTH, Or just a glass of Vodka and Vermouth. Ominous regressions One Truth... many realities |

Click for Link to Poll Thread, Vote For Your Favorite! The rude awakening is almost here. Hung over headache so nothing is clear, How did I get to this unfamiliar place? A look in the mirror shows a confused face. A timid advance to the window for a look. Nothing seems real, like a page from a book. People wandering aimlessly on the street Slowly, sadly almost dragging their feet. The Sun is hidden behind a curtain of mist. Suddenly it hits you with the sting of a fist, We were lured into this indentured fate The promise of prosperity was the only bait. So high from the smell of plastic were we Chasing the carrot we ran with giggling glee. But now all our toys from Christmases past Melt away before our eyes while we stand agast. Can you remember the songs you used to sing? Do you recall the smell of green from the Spring? Now the leaves are brown, released to fall free A joyous refrain haunted by its distant melodie. So many cycles in life that must repeat What begins with triumph shall end in defeat. Prepare then yourself for what you must endure, Nurture the seeds of wisdom and keep them pure. Don't cry out in anger for your sad misery, Don't shed a tear as you ply your selfish plea. Let the knowledge of your fate pass through you As you follow a path that is straight and true. Ominous regressions One Truth... many realities |

Click for Link to Poll Thread, Vote For Your Favorite! There's some really amazing stuff getting posted on here! Couldn't resist sharing a few more with you beautiful folks! The Man Who Lived in a Grain of Sand Have you ever heard The sound of a single eye opening, Looking, gazing longingly at itself in a Lightning-stricken sand castle, Each grain melting & congealing, Coalescing & fusing into a Collage, a million-mirror-montage Of the only thing that holds Absolute truth, the one sign That tells all, the spark & flame Which burns whithin the eye that Has seen the light? It sounds like... The Things Worth Remembering 'What year is it?' I ask myself, Waking to the lamenting sound of Grey-black thunder clouds drifting by overhead. Although the minutes crawl by, each second A gladiator battling the next one for domination over Our lives, and the hours inch by, If inches were but a little smaller, The days quickly become a blur. With each New one I put under my belt, two Fall out of my pocket as I Walk down the alley between Space Avenue and Time Boulevard. In the beginning, There was denial, but when I Forgot the beginning, Denial begot distress, then Distress became acceptance. The more the past begins to roll up, The more important the future Seems. What happens if it catches Up to me? Will it roll over me and Leave dust and smoke in its wake? What is IT anyways? The one thing that is Sure to remain are these words Echoing in your heart and head. So when you no longer feel your Past breathing down your neck, when Your thoughts backwards are just As cloudy as your thoughts forwards, Breathe, and Sigh, and Sit, and Write... The things worth remembering. Eternity Do you remember how you felt when you realized you were invincible? Did your heart start beating like a drum, As lightning coarsed through your veins? Did life look brighter through imortal eyes, Was the air more real, more crisp and alive? Or did you C o L p O e S n E your eyes and forget it all? What a strange dream that was? What a strange dream this is? Only time will tell where the line is drawn. Peace all Last Edited by King Felix on 02/03/2013 07:42 PM VALIS |

A quiet moment with some relief Relief from the fact that I cant sleep My mind keeps running I'm getting weak Can someone free me from this prison The one that I built when no one would listen Running Running Who am I running from? The fact that I don't know who I am Or where I come from I sigh relief I'm coming back down Down from the high that makes me feel like a clown I want to be normal I want to be sane I am what I am Did I make myself this way? I can't find no one else to blame I just wish these voices would stop saying my name "I'm not home right now, please go away I'm off finding my mind it ran away today" Some one find the pieces to this puzzle The puzzle is my life My life is a mess I don't know which way to turn Just take a lucky guess...I guess Why do I keep going, going I need to slow down Stop just Stop Not a member just like to share.....lots of awesome poems on this thread! |

I am having my wife assist me in picking the Top 10… She doesn’t know any of you, she is a non member and she will ‘judge’ fairly based on the poem and poem alone.

Throwing in an additional 3rd place prize of 'Free TRIAL upgrade for 1 month' Alright Dr. Astro recently had a contest on here. I participated and it was a lot of fun! So I wanted to offer a contest myself... I've spent much time thinking about what type of contest... I figured it would be fun to see what kind of poetry my fellow GLPers could come up with. So do you wanna earn a full upgrade for a month? I spent my Karma and got the Karma Prize 'Free FULL upgrade for 1 month for a friend' The rules are simple... write us a poem... no plagiarizing! It has to be an original poem! This contest ends on February 3rd... This Sunday Evening 7pm EST I'll pick my top 10 faves and start another thread with a poll after 7pm EST Sunday... this poll will have the top 10 picks so that GLP can vote for the winner! The runner up of this contest will receive an 'Free TRIAL upgrade for 1 month' I already have that Karma prize. In order to win this prize you must have at least an registered account!! If you havent got one... make sure you create one... your poem will not be a valid entry without at least posting it under a registered account! Of course I am not competing lol But I wanted to show you a poem I did... as an example I'm not the best poet... but its a poem none the less... If I can write one... you can too! Luna Quoting: Luna by Dr. AculaThe moon she shines Over land and sea I'd like to think Only for me Luna my love My alabaster queen Will you smile? Just for me? She glides so softly As she passes by The romance of night The heavenly sky light Luna my love Come and visit me Please share with me Your secrets of eternity I reach my hand Into the sky But as always You pass me by Luna my love Take me away Let me journey with you Each night and day Give me a sign Maybe a shooting star That in your heart I don't drift far. Oh Luna my love My majestic angel above Give me just a sign That your heart is mine Alright GLP have at it! PS... I am refraining from commenting but im reading em all Any chance at getting a list of honorable mentions? |

Click for Link to Poll Thread, Vote For Your Favorite! I wrote this when I was young.... Quoting: Minus9 "Need some help dad?" All he cared about was his 12 ounce can, and you call yourself a man. You said I was your best friend. Yet you let me down to the end, time and time again. I gave you my love and loyalty. Only to open my eyes and see, that daddy had no love for me. I held on to your hand, even when you dragged me through the sand. I always had your back, until I felt my heart crack. I was there when no one else was around, yet you repeatedly stomped my heart into the ground. I picked you up when you fell down, as you stood and watched me drown. I gave you heat when you were cold, but you always gave up and said, "I fold." I helped you like no other, treated you like my brother. Gave you chance after chance, but you left me dry like unwatered plants. Leaving my soul tattered and bruised. My mind lost and confused, to find again I was used. I gave my life away, every fucken day. Why? So you could drop me into hell, leave me there to dwell. Yeah, you may be in jail, stuck there without bail. But it's me that's screwed, left here bitter, numb and crude. Because you couldn't be a man, to your old number 1 fan. That's me, guess I'll see you when you're free, DADDY!!!
