n.n;

A random thread to put thoughts to text int ways that may or may not hit their mark, I write here the way I think, yet not in particular -what- I think. Read on if you wish, but I promise little substance, little quality, and little talent.

The stars fell soft to the fall of man,
his eyes glazed over to the world he'd burned.
Dusty wind might whisper tales,
of ideas never brought to life.

Of words and stories of peace and love,
of golden ages and wise old sages,
or brilliant minds and happy times,
of man and his machine.

We wonder yet if time still travels,
on the wheels of our loss.
Does time need man as man needs time?
I somehow expect not.

Pushed aside as over used,
impossible and under managed,
the ideas stand as mere ideals,
nothing worth truly working towards.

I must admit, my recycle bin bare,
I looked out over the city.
I thought to myself the hazy sky,
at dusk was almost... pretty.

The flame it caught the chemicals,
the sky it burned to bright.
The shades of sunset paled,
when compared to the vast flames.

The muted grays of of buildings,
built high in dreams of flight,
the darker gray or metal,
turned red in the heat of light.

The cities melted away,
a sea of molten metal,
hitting blackened oceans with a hiss.
The steam rose like an anguished beast.

The trees were the last to go,
man's treasure realized too late,
the docile leaves fluttering in the air,
dancing in pain as they fell.

The gods above and the demons below,
fall to a state of despair,
for who and what are they
without man to make them so?

And yet we still can't bring ourselves to care.

And who and who had ever thought,
That Jack be Man, and Man he sought?
And man knew not the pain he wrought,
When man, oh man, the world he bought.

His wisdom to his children taught,
or lack there of or so I thought,
His efforts only led to naught,
Knowledge not what his children sought.

Amongst themselves his children fought,
Each dreamt of sky and yet flew not,
As each grew slowly more distraught,
For sky Jack had so long forgot.

I love your work, although, in the second one, I was so unaware there were so many words that rhymed with Thought. XD It was a bit overwhelming, for me. :]

XD I like rhyming, it's fun. There are tons more, I just got kinda tired of it.

And I'm not really posting any serious work. XD This is all off the top of my head.

Well, for off the top of your head, its exceptional. :]

Her hair fell soft on silken sheets,
the morning sun on her skin in hues of honey.
How fitting that her eyes were shut,
Dark lashes sleeping on rosy cheeks.


Oh... really... Thank you. ^_^

Beneath the street light,
as the wind caught my skirt,
as my cigarette burned,
as my back hurt.

I looked to the sky,
smoke curled to the stars,
I looked to the street,
at fast passing cars.

I looked to my watch,
The time was so near,
When will that damned
night bus get here?

So very profound,
my thoughts were that night,
I'm sure any would notice,
my attire, a sight.

A top just too tight,
a skirt just too short,
heels too high,
dressed to court.

A weary look,
from a long day at work,
All I could hope was,
he inn't a jerk.

It wasn't long after,
a bus finally neared,
I imagined a carriage,
as the horses all reared.

I boarded the bus,
the stench assaulting my nose.
Seat lined in columns,
seats lined in rows.

I wasn't picky,
I chose one close by,
After all my heels,
were really too high.

I ignored a man,
as he eyed my clothes,
I thought he'd ignore me,
Shows what thought shows.

I played deaf,
as he asked my name,
It seemed he caught on,
to my little game.

The bus ride itself,
seemed to max out the wait,
as I sat on that bus,
on the way to my date.

I picked at my nails,
I kicked at my shoes,
that man watched me,
for the stop I would choose.

By this time I noticed,
and I'd started to worry,
I wished that my stop,
would come in a hurry.

As the bus stopped,
I got to my feet,
I straightened my clothes,
and I left my seat.

I left the bus,
glancing behind,
the man was the last thing,
I'd wanted to find.

To my relief,
he wasn't there,
so I took a moment,
to straighten my hair.

My heals clicked softly,
on the sidewalk below,
I couldn't help but smile,
as it started to snow.

"You look cold."
Came a voice from behind,
and the man from the bus,
well, he came to mind.

I swung my hand back,
and I shouted 'No!'
The sound rang out,
muffled by snow.

I gaped in horror,
I was ten minutes late,
and on top of that,
I'd just smacked my date.

He laughed as I apologized,
He lent me his coat,
He said it was fine,
my heart in my throat.

I swallowed hard,
and offered a smile,
we stood in the snow,
and chatted a while.

As the snow collected,
on the back of our coats,
we found a diner,
and we exchanged notes.

The talk was of class,
of school the next day,
but our thoughts were going,
every which way.

I looked to him,
as he looked to me,
and I blurted out,
"I hafta pee!"

With all of my grace,
I got to my feet,
I knocked over my chair,
I ran from my seat.

I couldn't help it,
I'd lost all will power,
I sat in that bathroom,
for over an hour.

I'd hit him, I'd screamed,
I'd panicked and ran,
To wait for an hour,
Was too much for that man.

I finally got up,
certain to find the bill paid,
my date as far gone,
as my chance to get laid.

I washed my hands,
and I washed my face,
I held my head up,
my shoulders in place.

I stepped out of the room,
the table was lonely.
All I could think,
was 'if only, if only'.

I moved back to my seat,
my coffee was cold.
Next to it sat a note,
with numbers so bold...

I had expectations,
but I never knew,
a fool like me,
was offered date #2.

I have no idea how I got this. XD

AND YES, I KNOW IT'S TERRIBLE. XD

I jut wrote it and don't want to bother editing it.

Then one day I thought to think,
I dumped my pills right down the sink,
Thousands of dollars in medication,
My health is worth More’an that vacation.

I watched the water wash them away,
Like holey water and demon at bay,
A part of me I swear it cried,
When I realized they hadn’t lied.

Kaitlyn I love you,
Kaitlyn you worry me.
Kaitlyn I’ll tell you,
You’re taking too many.

My family tried,
My friends they cried,
I swung that bottle up and round,
And those pills? Well they went down.

Colors spun and rainbows flew,
Hiding problems that I knew,
Silence now but lights and din
Would surface once the drugs wore thin.

Kaitlyn I love you,
Kaitlyn I must mention,
Kaitlyn I really love you,
And this is intervention.

I went through their therapy,
Without the pill, well I went crazy.
Thoughts of sui- and homi- cide,
Pills showed their darkest side.

In that place I thought I’d die,
I never even thought to try,
Chasing dreams with drugs,
Replacing dreams with drugs.

Kaitlyn I love you,
They say that you’re safe now.
I know what they put you through,
Kaitlyn be my little girl again.

When I got home my father sighed,
Softly smiling my mother cried,
I’d never gone without the drugs,
I’d never seen so many hugs.

But even with those arms around me,
Even with my mom so happy,
Despite all the loving hugs,
All I thought of were the drugs.

Kaitlyn you know we love you,
Kaitlyn you’re our baby girl,
Kaitlyn look what you’ve seen through,
Mother dear I think I’m gonna’ hurl.

I can say I was stupid then,
I can’t call it ‘way back when’
I can’t say I’m smarter now,
But at least I finally know now.

I fiddled with my skirt and I tugged at the hem.
I stared and the bottle and once again I took them.
Spinning colors, fun vacations,
Strange men with facinations.

Kaitlyn you know we love you,
Kaitlyn that man’s no good,
Kaitlyn is it true,
You didn’t do what you should.

Mother I can’t cry to you,
I don’t know just what to do.
I know that you can see,
Mother, he hit me.

I know the blame lies with me,
But a few more pills and I can’t see,
The problems hide behind the lights,
False clouds hide the frights.

Kaitlyn this is hard for me,
Kaitlyn I love you,
I’ve tried to help but now I see,
There’s nothing we can do.

I woke up in a pretty bad way,
Just like any other day,

I looked in the mirror long and hard,
I looked at the pills and thought of all they’d done.

All my family had done.

All that I had failed to do.

And down the drain they went.


I can’t say my life’s better,
I can’t say that much has changed,
There are no more lights and colors,
To hide the days dilemmas.

I can’t say that’s a bad thing,
Because little by little,
I’m facing my fears,
I’m dealing with my problems.

I’ve fallen out of the rhymes that hid the severity,
I’ve fallen out of a bitter kind of love,

Support flows all around me as it always has,
But it didn’t take support to quit, it took me.

Kaitlyn I’m so proud of you.



((No, I'm not Kaitlyn, and no, I've never had a drug problem.))

I don't usually delve into the poetry subforum, but I'm happy I did. I like your first one, second to the last one, and last one. The second to the last one made me laugh. I like how you tell stories in your poems. They're quite enjoyable reads.
