the past is erased
life is arrested in mid-stride
glib experience

[Il Penseroso]

glib exerience,
an armor-enveloped ant
while deer softly mourn

[alakungfu]

while deer sotly mourn
the stag that has passed over
the brinks of despair

[kiz_paws]

the brinks of despair
such a slow downward spiral
and so we float on

[alakungfu]

and so we float on
petals and lwater lilies
down a glass surface

[kiz_paws]

down a glass surface
the rivers we form are vast
cutting through the plains

[alakungfu]

cutting through the plaiins
the wind bares blonde striata
of golden wheat shafts

[kiz_paws]

of golden wheat shafts
we lay and contemplate eyes
mine right next to yours

[alakungfu]

mine right next to yours
clay vessel and golden urn
touching difference

[dogar sahab]

touch your head and win
provided you put your all faculties to use
do this before u get any abuse
-------------------------------

"When we are in our precocious ages,we weep on our broken toys but when we are grown-up,we weep too but then we realize that 'broken toys were better than 'boken hearts'."

[mazHur]

dogar sahab, the rule of the game is :first line should have 5 syllables, 2nd seven and 3rd again 5 .

and wipe away all nightmares
with dreamy swishes

[alakungfu]

with dreamy swishes
tease Cupid's slaked, cool locks . . . will
sweet shafts pierce the heart?

[kiz_paws]

sweet shafts pierce the heart
my pink hued glasses reveal
subtle attentions

[alakungfu]

subtle attentions
carry little weight deserved
of inclination

[Pensive]

Of inclination
Towards devil the world screams
Ah hypocrisy!

[alakungfu]

Ah hypocrisy!
Single beat of attention's

fair, rich status hub,
the land of Lotus Eaters,
over fed, slumb'ring

[alakungfu]

over fed, slumb'ring
rancid menace in hiding
misapprehension

[mazHur]

misapprehension
made a monkey of a man
and men believed it!

[alakungfu]

and men believed it!
led clumsily by beliefs
borne, overstated

[alakungfu]

Sorry I posted twice because I didn't see it appear the first time.

[mazHur]

borne, overstated
dogmas, concepts and beliefs
haunt the human mind

[mazHur]

disillusions borne
have bred more disillusions
blinding the mind's eye

[alakungfu]

Haunt the human mind
nameless spectres by dint of
black pathos, reason

[mazHur]

black pathos, reason
green venomous sting, logic
signal death to love

[alakungfu]

signal death to love
and its confining embrace
choose freedom and live

[mazHur]

choose freedom and live,
like people in voodoo camps
living on their own!

[alakungfu]

living on their own!
Here's what teenagers dream of,
lot's of company.

[mazHur]

lots of company

holy cliffs bright at sundown.
The lake is my flute.

man that is one is really good, I'm shamed to even follow it

the lake is my flute
my unconscious turqouise trill
mirroring the stars

[jon1jt]

Oh you poet (gone to college) you, thanks! :p


mirroring the stars.
for woman shatters daylight,
synchronizes whole.

[Il Penseroso]

someday to be teacher/poet (gone to college) :p

synchronizes whole,
somehow the present enters
what was thought before

[jon1jt]

what was thought before,
a girl performed procedures--
to restore my will.

[alakungfu]

to restore my will
bolster mere velleity,
nudge my bank account

[dramasnot6]

Nudge my bank account
You winked across the counter
Flirting with money

[alakungfu]

flirting with money
her public asset, scarcely
identifies her

[Il Penseroso]

identifies her,
a canyon full of brittle
lashes; eyes can't think.

[jon1jt]

lashes; eyes can't think:
so they invent sign language,
to think with fingers.

[symphony]

to think with fingers,
they've made a life for them-
instant and constant...

[Il Penseroso]

instant and constant
eyes bobble the breeze left by
the crease of absence

[kiz_paws]

the crease of absence
bald pate where straw hat lived once
in his sea of wheat

[symphony]

in his sea of wheat
there was no room for oddly
incongruities

[dramasnot6]

Incongruities
Our ideas-floating platelets,
Detached and drifting

Detached and drifting

I need more red paint

[ktd222]

I need more red paint
to color me angry, cause
I'm not really mean.

[Captain Pike]

I'm not really mean
red is the hue of anger
just a streak in me

[jon1jt]

just a streak in me;
run my hand across the page.
I'm a word chaser.

[Captain Pike]

I'm a word chaser.
Balancing the syllables

Humid autumn night

(Great, someone else is awake!)

Humid autumn night
Save some of this cold for then --
warming the winter

[motherhubbard]

Warming the winter
Soft flannel sheets on bear skin
His hand warm in mine

[kiz_paws]

His hand warm in mine
his heart was yet to thaw out
I'm working on it

[jon1jt]

I'm working on it
like planes love destination,
working on going.

[kiz_paws]

Working on going
but the wine was too bubbly
my chair swallowed me

[Etienne]

Working on going
Where is there, that, I don't care
A glow precedes me. (changed it as I messed up the syllable count)

...

My chair swallowed me
Aeons ago, never spat out
I made myself home.

Edit: Wow I messed this whole thing up it seems...

[jon1jt]

A daze leads me,
The old will scold me, the wise,
regret my absence.

[Etienne]

Regret my absence
It won't happen as I messed up
This game of poetry.

[kiz_paws]

Jon, where did you pull that beginning line from? ;)

I made myself home
but when my id was comfy
someone threw me out


ARGH ... Etienne, it is not you -- it is all in the timing, ha ha!

This game of poetry
becomes like the cat and mouse
darting all around

[Etienne]

Jon, where did you pull that beginning line from? ;)

My fault! my fault! leave me alone!

EDIT: See, still?

Darting all around
So confused, what is this curse?
O! The jester's time!

[kiz_paws]

My humblest of apologies, then, to you, Jon. And Etienne, don't worry, if you go back and read this whole thread, you will see even crazier muddles. :)

Who's next?

[jon1jt]

Go Etienne Go!!! Yea yea, I love it!!! Kizzer too!

[kiz_paws]

O! The jester's time
shake those bells, adjust the nose
we need to be cute

[Etienne]

I did one, but it's edited on the other post... God damnit, this whole thing is more confusing than Al-Farabi's Epistle on Intellect! I am Davus! Not Oedipus!

[Il Penseroso]

hey kiz, great minds think alike!


O! the jester's time!
the bell after royal slips
calls all together


we need to be cute
let lava flow from our eyes
melting all we see

[jon1jt]

I did one, but it's edited on the other post... God damnit, this whole thing is more confusing than Al-Farabi's Epistle on Intellect! I am Davus! Not Oedipus!


:lol: :lol: I'm dancing over here!!!

[kiz_paws]

IP, I think that half the fun is trying to keep up with the next guy...

Hope everyone is enjoying this -- I was laughing my guts out a minute ago!

melting all we see
rainbows slipping and sliding
a butterfly weeps

[Il Penseroso]

IP, I think that half the fun is trying to keep up with the next guy...



the bells, the bells, the bleating of the bells...

[Etienne]

A butterfly weeps
It's honey tears, wait that's bees
But still it did weep

[kiz_paws]

But still it did weep
like George Harrison's guitar
and we hummed along

[jon1jt]

and we hummed along.
The baptists sent us away,
we were too merry.


:p

[kiz_paws]

we were too merry
but then suddenly married
oh what have we done

[jon1jt]

I just wanna say that I'm craving an ice cream cone, double scoop. :p

Oh what we have done.
The riddles of wisdom books.
We made our own choice.

[Etienne]

And we hummed along
That unforgettable song
Of forgotten times

[kiz_paws]

We made our own choice
and lay naked on the sand
the sun had some fun

[jon1jt]

Of forgotten times...
the time you've been thinking of,
is with a woman.

[Etienne]

The sun had some fun
Watching us, it burned of mirth
It's cheeks red as flame. (I just though "It's fire keeps us warm." was better... whatever)

[symphony]

And i just wanna say i'm currently so in love with Jon Foreman that the moment i saw jon's nick on this thread i took it as an omen to start listening (f0r the umpteenth time) to one of his wonderful songs. :p

is, with a woman,
anything right that ever
happens, except love?

[jon1jt]

It's cheeks red as flames.
Depends on which cheeks you mean.
A kiss stirs a blush.

[jon1jt]

Symphony's here, yay!!! And with Jon Foreman! Yippeee!

[symphony]

happens, except love
that has wings (they say), hiding
its cheeks red as flames...

[symphony]

erm...

a kiss stirs a blush,
a touch- a shiver, a look leaves
the soul quite unstirred...

[Etienne]

The soul quite unstirred
I write these mediocre lines
What one is to do?

[kiz_paws]

What one is to do
when all has failed in the game
maybe send flowers?

[symphony]

what one is to do?
when moments go by without
a sober warning...

edit:
hey kiz :D

may be send flowers?
a diamond rind could do it,
women are easy.

( please dont hate me! :D )

[jon1jt]

women are easy.
the years and deaths men suffered.
Don't we deserve love?!

[kiz_paws]

Don't we deserve love
our hearts were meant to be joined
first get me a beer

[OOOO, there will be twubble over that one .... :nod:]

:wave: Symphony! Joining in the chaos? YAY!!

[symphony]

dont we deserve love?
in a world where pity sells
well in the market.

of course, why not, sir?
love is the only cash crop
patented to sell...

[symphony]

first get me a beer
and someone with it to drink,
Omar had it right.

[Etienne]

Omar had it right
Who is this man, Ramo?
Oh it was verlan.

[jon1jt]

Omar had it right---
never leave home without fruit
to club wolfish dogs.

[kiz_paws]

Oh it was verlan
or maybe it was the ghost
a voice that rippled

[symphony]

hahah!

[jon1jt]

"find a better place"
Paints are spilling all over.
Landlords don't get it.

[Etienne]

Landlords don't get it
How natural it's to me
Having no money.

[kiz_paws]

Landlords don't get it.
milk bottles on the doorsteps
like in the old days


[Good night, time to put my quill away (this has been total fun everyone!)] ;)

[symphony]

landlords dont get it,
its the developers' day--
they grab, smash, and win.

[symphony]

wow :D we managed it again! :lol:

i'm out of money,
cant say i was ever "in",
thought it comes with grey...

like in the old days
once again i am dancing,
thought it comes with grey...

night night kizzo :)

[jon1jt]

Having no money,
But the homeless have booze.
What I call artform.


(

[symphony]

what i call artform,
they call it wastage of things
i took for granted...

[mazHur]

i took for granted
roses won't hurt my fingers
they didn't, thorns did.

[salivatrails]

Silence of snowflakes
serves only to emphasize
how alone I am.

[salivatrails]

Eyes that can't see stars-
behind soft words in marble;
the image I fear.

[salivatrails]

In its way death comes-
invisible as your dreams;
missing tomorrow.

[salivatrails]

Yes love is scary-
but it's more what comes after
that stops me trying.

[ktd222]

that stops me trying
to repair my face from The
Time's ticking seconds

[kiz_paws]

Time's ticking seconds
turn into hours and then days
when can I go home

[ktd222]

when can I go home
and square those obtuse kids
circling my front yard?

[motherhubbard]

Circling my front yard
A fence of my own design
Flowers bloom therein

[ktd222]

Flowers bloom therein;
heretofore you shall let their
growth exceed one inch.

[mazHur]

growth exceed one inch

[kiz_paws]

dewdrops, one winter..
rains and floods all through monsoons,
water babies cry

the trees blossom up till there's
no leaf but flowers...

[keyheld]

incandescent colors blind
the dark from we three

[symphony]

the dark from we three
interred in our bodies, cut
through the silhouettes...

[keyheld]

through the silhouettes
you will rediscover a
whiter point, youself

[symphony]

whiter point, yourself
is a grayed existence of
who you used to be...

[mazHur]

who you used to be
who you are amazingly
now is a mystery

[symphony]

now is a mystery
the morrows are the eyes
through which dreams see us

[mazHur]

through which dreams see us
those eyes are dimmed by distance
come near and behold

[symphony]

come near and behold,
hold these eyes to yours,
be held, within me.

[mazHur]

dress myself in crimson clouds,
be one with the dusk...

[mazHur]

be one with the dusk
your pretty visage be the moon
of my lonely nights

[symphony]

of my lonely nights
i could make out a chassis
of silence and smiles...

[mazHur]

of silence and smiles
the princesses talk often
but seldom practice

[symphony]

but seldom practice
opening the windows to
a clearer morning...

[mazHur]

a clearer morning
is a harbinger of love
sucked by night's darkness

[symphony]

sucked by night's darkness
the wind has moved upwards to
the first strokes of blue

[mazHur]

the first strokes of blue
bring sheer sadness in their fold
for lovers of night

[symphony]

for lovers of night
the bugles play, for strangers
there's only silence...

[mazHur]

there's only silence
I cannot hear your sweet words
let them sound with love

[symphony]

let them sound with love.
the songs and prayers dont live,
my careless lisps do.

[alakungfu]

my careless lisps do
little to seduce the rasps
escaping your lips

[symphony]

escaping your lips
the songs i never sang, nor
have you to this day...

[mazHur]

my careless lisps do
not thwart the love's language
keep on loving dear

[mazHur]

escaping your lips
the songs i never sang, nor
have you to this day...

have you to this day
sung me any song of love?
then why were you born?

[alakungfu]

have you to this day
that jazzy polyester scarf,
a past burthday gift?

[alakungfu]

then why were you born
if not to faze the merits
of the sumptious

Wisdom escapes me

Wisdom escapes me
to recesses of playgrounds
and blacktop sneakers

[firefangled]

and blacktop sneakers,
all this through the white vortex
smiles, and jeans with holes

[keyheld]

smiles, and jeans with holes
were the perfect distractions
for the wettest willy

[kiz_paws]

For the wettest will
be swimming in good fortune
just a few strokes more

[mazHur]

just a few strokes more,
butterfly or breast strokes,
for the finish line

[Pensive]

For the finish line
I run, just run crazily
Writers like an end

[mazHur]

Writers like an end
but sometimes they make a twist
and you keep wondering!

[keyheld]

and you keep wondering
(that's impossible!) how'd the
wall commit suicide?

[mazHur]

wall commit(s) suicide,
crumbles down and falls to ground
to be blown away!

[Pensive]

To be blown away
Loved. Unaware unrequited
Love could create mess

vampire-themed food
as red as pomegranate
tossing up and down!

[zanna]

tossing up and down,
in that time honored custom
between dads and babes.

[mazHur]

between dads and babes
mothers create no hurdle

they just keep shouting!
"Stop rough-housing so much, dear!
It's almost bed-time!"

cackle as you howl and sing
rabid for her skin

rabid for her skin
raindrops slog her sodden frame
spilling down her limbs

[Il Penseroso]

spilling down her limbs
electric labial lines
spoken by the trees

[alakungfu]

spoken by the trees
suborned whispers, rank dumbness,
into lythe music

[mazHur]

into lithe music
sank the furious ocean
waves played the lyre

[Il Penseroso]

waves played the lyre
as fish churned sun-reflected
odes on foamy crests

[mazHur]

odes on foamy crests
shone like my poems on litnet
as bright as a day!

[symphony]

as bright as a day
like this, the sun at its best
to turn leaves olive...

[mazHur]

to turn leaves olive
come in the garden with a
little chlorophyll

[symphony]

little chlorophyl
greening leaves that in mornings
emit golden sparks...

[mazHur]

emit golden sparks
come, set my heart's stack ablaze
to brighten your nights

[symphony]

to brighten your nights
there's the silver moon, and to
brighten mine- your eyes.

the old Professor mumbled;
sleepy, I tuned out.

[alakungfu]

sleepy, I tuned out
hopped in a private wavelength-
musing crib, solo

[symphony]

musing crib, solo.
the swift movements of a hand
wreaking crystal dreams.

[mazHur]

wreaking crystal dreams,
singing lullabies of hope,
what else mothers need?

[lucidnightmares]

lies never exist
the truth is fabricated
believe everything...

[alakungfu]

what else mothers need,
kind words and soft reveries
poured into fresh eyes

[mazHur]

poured into fresh eyes,
the ether of love gives rise
to spark my heart's joy

[TheFifthElement]

to spark my heart's joy
would be an effort great.
Instead, I am still.

[mazHur]

Instead, I am still
I should rather get up and
salute my shadow.

[Il Penseroso]

salute my shadow,
the polite surface knodding
to be acknowledged

[TheFifthElement]

to be acknowledged,
the wise man said, fills empty
hearts with foolish pride.

[alakungfu]

hearts with foolish pride
traverse the loam murky depths
for what comes to light

[_JadeRain_]

For what comes to light
Must one day turn to darkness
Too many secrects

[mazHur]

Too many secrets
hidden in just one word, Love;
Love and discover!

[alakungfu]

love and discover
loose passion transformed into
ripe shuddering flame

ripe shuddering flame

this love did spring from gently
I believed the signs

I believed the signs
and waddles along the path
of life, to nowhere!

and of death, to everywhere!
And yet I can't stay

[kiz_paws]

And yet I can't stay

irresistable

[alakungfu]

irrestible
is your blush when your eyes turn
charming fair bewitched

[mazHur]

charming fair bewitched
did you relate this to me ?
Let me suck your blood !

[alakungfu]

Let me suck your blood!
Then interview your quick soul
Before you join death.

[AdoreroDio]

before you join death
let me say these final words
and kiss you gently

[prema]

:blush:

[kiz_paws]

And kiss you gently
so as to not awaken
sleep now beloved

[be-lov-ed] <---- just makin' sure you knew three syllables :p

[alakungfu]

Sleep now beloved,
Rain your beauty in my dreams!
Treasure bliss imbued.

[mazHur]

Treasure bliss imbued
in the bosom of your heart
kiss me once again!

[kiz_paws]

Kiss me once again
in the misty teasing rain
a drop fills my eye

a drop fills my eye
spread your hand and catch the pearl
