Manny's House by the fireside

Postby *Manny* » 03 May 2010, 14:45

This thread is to share some of my writing. My styles vary, from freestyle, to rhyming. Some is light, some is dark, some playful, some erotic, and some are just thoughts in form. It all has meaning to me.

Feel free to join in with your own style. If you post something that is NOT your own, please make sure to add the author's name, so as to avoid any legal ramifications.

HUMAN FRAILTY

We see with our eyes,
But not our mind,
We touch with our hands,
But not our hearts,
We laugh with our lips,
But not our soul,
We express affection with our bodies,
But not our love,
We lie in bed naked,
Together...
But not united!

Touching kindness of human kind
Hatred of mankind
Crushing and destroying life
Mother natures loving ways.

Gaining strength through one's self
draining the energy out of life it self.
Loving the right people at the wrong time.
loving the wrong people all of the time.

Life of choices
dreams of reality
making things happen
letting things pass.


(I have just wrote this.. call it random thoughts)

Bollox really :lol:

NOT boll*cks at all! It's a window, a gaze into your mind, your soul! Thank you for sharing Storm.

LUST QUEEN

[b]The Queen of lust,
Naked, tormented,
Eyes glazed,
Loins afire,
Wet, shining,
Thrusts upon,
Her Phallus throne,
Bejewelled triangle,
Split and impaled,
Writhing and screaming,
Her passions
Released,
Lust fulfilled,
Deep into her being,
The phallus throne,
Explodes.

Oh I feel like I have been analysed now ;)

Keeping my thoughts to myself for now

[b]The Queen of lust,
Naked, tormented,

Thrusts upon,
Her Phallus throne,
Bejewelled triangle,

Explodes.


That is quite *ahem* :shock:

this one is in three parts

PARABLE

Wandering, aimless and distracted,
Through mountains and wilderness green,
Endless paths of my impatience growing,
Come to rest at the edge of the ravine.

Here I lay my head, but for a while,
Calm the soul, adrift to dream,
The folly of the idle flies,
Follow not the silent scream.


THE SILENT SCREAM

I came upon a clearing,
and here, I met the gathering horde,
The beggars, the cripples,
the blind man with his sword.

It is here, the lesser find
A tongue for the Silent Scream,
This place of undesirables,
Ahhh, this place, they are free to dream!



ON THE VIRTUOUS

Ahhh, but those of virtue,
Who stand before the virtuous claim,
To be risen up before their kind,
By virtue, this is their fame.

Go now, you disciples of virtue,
Quench your insatiable thirst,
For jewels and yellow lustre,
Till your soul is ready to burst!

To those of the Golden Serpent,
You virtuous seekers of fame,
Hear not of what you speak,
Your soul is one of shame.

The Mourning Forest

I took my solitude
into the forest,
and there
I knelt weeping,
and the trees
wept with me.

The wind embraced me,
as the tears of the sky
licked my face,
the wolfs lament
filled the air,
in solidarity.

I looked up
and saw, all the
creatures from far and wide,
gathered in harmony,
Natures chapel
came to say goodbye.

Hiding from the madding crowd
Finding solitude within one's self
Grabbing the opportunity to breath

Stop! see that above?
It's a cloud
a cloud of substance if you look long enough.

Life is speeding up again
The cloud disappears
When will I have time to look up again?

Stop!
Storm

ahhh....wonderful to see your thread here, t!
may i add something which shares a part of me
and why i'm grateful you invited me here...


landing softly in you
energy passing through
an invisible pulse
stirring the soul
nothing to hold onto
so nothing to let go
just a feeling deep within
whispering freedom

and yet....

cherish
nothing is worthless
even feelings of denial
or becoming suicidal
even a crooked wicked smile
seeking its own glory
telling its own story
all to be cherished
for within each person
is the sum of all our being
even if appearing
to be different

and yet...
this came out last night on a last line, first line,
so the first line is not mine....
sorry it's quite a bit darker in theme (exaggerated reality)...

"one slap on the wrist, no lesson learnt"

two slaps on the face stung and burnt
three slaps in the arm started to ache
four slaps on the back feeling of hate
five slaps on the legs for being stupid, he says,
six slaps on the ass and i'm fighting back
seven slaps on the head and i'm nearly dead
now finally free of his cruelty spree
However long the night, the dawn will break.

This is one of my latest writes, and one of my personal favorites. Thank you Storm and WeR1, for sharing your own styles. Love both of them!


Joy and Sorrow

Along the golden path I dream
your fragrant scent, still linger seems,
as pure as meadows and morning dew,
in loving thoughts, of time with you.

As sun ascends, to gentle skies,
none more bluer than in your eyes,
thy beauty marked, by memories kept,
in love's sweet parting that we wept,

until the moon's rise full again,
memories saved remembering when
that time for lovers, shall come to be,
together more....just you...and me.

sharing...written tonight on a first line, last line somewhere...
so the first line is not mine...

damnit, I just want to know
where does the soul go
when the body does slow
to the point of no more
to the close of life's door
to the last taken breath
to what they call death?

damnit, I just want to know
why do the colours show
on the great arched rainbow
yes of course I know
it's water mixed with sun glow
but why does it disappear
if you run to its center?
why does it suddenly
turn to shadow?

dammit, I just want to know
why does my heart bleed so?
why in the night can I feel the fright
why in the night do I want to fight
why in the night I'm not alright
when during the day I feel so much delight?
However long the night, the dawn will break.
