    You
    my obsession
    the light of the dark
    of my soul.

    An
    addiction
    your love keeps
    me alive.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Oh, I just noticed this Jack.

    Lovely work.

    Holy crap. Thank you! This reader never had a poem written about him before. Let it be said from an objective perspective that this is the greatest poem ever composed. Creative credit to jajdude with additional material from his assistant Bob Dylan.

    This is great.

    "on the smack-smack tile floor"

    One of the best things I've ever read.

    I watched my father die,
    Sing, hey now, sing.
    I saw him tell a lie,
    Sing, go on and sing.

    When I saw my father die,
    I saw everything.
    Watch me as I lie.
    Sing, go on and sing.

    Only Shadows

    I await his voice
    but it never comes
    only the silence
    and shadows.

    I despise my words,
    the fact that I love
    the melancholy,
    a feeling that becomes
    addiction.

    I am in love with the pain,
    a facade I wear on the inside,
    there are passing moments
    when it comes like a knife
    in the night, sincerely.

    But I latch on,
    feeding from myself
    draining it for everything
    that it is worth.

    I am a fraud to myself
    because my laments
    make me dance in the rain
    in ecstatic delight.

    But it is something
    which I covet,
    I do not flaunt
    in self-pitying need
    seeking attention.

    Rather I prefer to appear
    as iron clad,
    but to believe I have suffered
    some tragedy which I keep
    as a secret agony
    defines me.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Look, he said, and he liked his eyes,
    As much as he liked those lullabies,
    And when he fell, he fell hard,

    He had no time for life.

    I felt sorry for him once.

    I don't anymore.

    Oh God that last one is awful I just noticed.


    Now I forgot what I wanted to write.

    But, as I said it is make them up as you go, no editing, no nothing, your true idea, your true you. That's how I do it anyway, except for typos, you can fix those.

    Johnny was a rambler, seven bits of a gambler,
    He tried, and so he did. I'm not sure how.
    He was wasted in the woods. He tried.
    He was a bit of a soldier, and a bit of you and me.

    We don't cry for Johnny now. He was nobody anyhow.
    He got over it all too soon. He was friend to the sun and moon.
    He was our brother, so he was.
    He died, just because.

    slumber crumble
    nothing feels rougher
    then crude being grumbled
    stone age advances
    warning evasive
    shatters against
    rock fall devises
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    This is unbearably ripe with potential.

    lay your head down
    let the light fall on it like a sword
    let the truth disperse
    raindrops on a pool of water
    the light and the blood
    drifiting
    on ether's lightning
