Is that about Elemens at Kowloon Station? All the flat are still empty they are so dam expensive. But nice in the summer having a beer on the roof by the bars.
The Road
-----------
Walking through the forest one day,
I chanced upon some men and machines.
They were chopping down the trees,
stripping and tarring the trunks,
standing them back up,
dead,
in concrete and asphalt,
and,
finally,
connecting them with wires.
"Where does it lead?", I asked.
"We don't know", they answered.
Too Late
Too late do I see,
Too late do I know,
The signpost that I must follow,
Too la-
Sitting in my underwear
Truely sir I do not care
Sitting front the windowglass

I wrote this one a while ago. Since the credit crisis, however, it seems rather current.
Civilization
One cigarette burning away in the ashtray;
cappuccino cup left empty;
french-fried potato crumbs
in the bottom of the basket;
a stain of red
in the bottom of the wine-glass;
a napkin crumpled;
and a leather folder
teetering off the edge
of the marble table.
bumpeh, c'mon you poetic souls ![]()
The beat gets to me
In such a degree
Deep is the burn it makes
As it sketches my mistakes
Yet the words and meaning
Are cleaning
I FEEL SOOOO GOOOOD
the alarm bell RINGS
Her mind is a blur of ink written in the STARS
she FEELS no more
no more LAUGHter
the road is set but
she wonders what it's worth
the tears have left
she doesn't even care
reasons fade
the wings have been cut
with the books open
its all the same
the fire dies
a whisper
no need for the wind to guide
never will she get
songs no longer sung
and Silence evermore
Call
wrong is a fact
when angels have died
and lights have faded
and everything falls
LOST HOPE (OF A DREAMER) part 1
Please tell what you think ^^ ![]()
It leaves me wanting more. I want to know what happened, where she's going. And not answering those questions makes it good.
yeah, I wasn't gonna answer those neither
but part 1, I thought perhaps like a part two which is from a different perspective
this girl actually was viewed upon by this other boy, whom aswell had hopes and tells about this girl he's seen(the same story perhaps)
but afterwards I kinda got stuck, cause now I must be carefull, do I keep the same feel or do I change style,
and what about it, and the 'part one' kinda looks cool aswell as that is like shakespear whom numbered his poems aswell
it also could implement, that all this first story was but a dream aswell,
'Lost hope (of a dreamer)' the title I gave gives various possibilities ![]()
but two main ones; 'Lost hope' of the girl, lost of the girl whom is a dreamer, and Lost hope, of a second bystander unmentioned in the poem.
I love this ^^ ![]()
I also gave some explenation in the general forums, and about how I created this poem.
I actually wonder:
do other people create poems like this aswell, and is this how a poem is Meant to be created or does this make it fake or lesser?
Some people have a tendency to be able to create a poem by sticking thought and will into making one.
Others can let it flow through them and sometimes make gold while making a lot of shitty ones like me, I'm in the bad phase right now as I usually just want to express my thoughts and forget about rhyming, kinda like a story.
But both are accepted.
I have creative diarhoea too.
I was awake most of last night, with BBC News 24 in the background, picking the golden peanuts out of the many piles of crap within my humble abode.
/me is creatively constipated atm, but this is to be expected, i suppose

My Star, My Star
legs kissing tongues wrap
say no word baby hush
one last dance upon my lap
got to go and take a rush
taking you away from your crush
where you don't belong
these fruits for you are way too lush
way too soon this will go too wrong
let me sing you a new song
they'll miss you not a bit
c'mon baby you are strong
you'll find out before you get hit
happy that you're back
my star my star is back
Nice....made me think of a stripper I fell in love with for five minutes.
I wrote this about a friend of mine a little while back:
The Upside-down Man
I saw the upside-down man
Not the white knight on his sidling horse,
Sliding into scene to save the day
Who tumbled from his sturdy steed
The one who invented better upside [right-side] down
No, I saw the upside-down man
The one who doesn't know he tells his own story
Slinking at night in a sinking world
He spoke to me once
He told me everything and nothing
I can't remember now which was more important
He painted me a picture that wasn't for me
Of the upside-down man,
Chained, repressed,
Free
He sees the world right-side up
Perspective in art is so difficult to do right
So difficult in the world
Be he knows
His sight is beyond the world's
He doesn't know he's right
I saw the upside-down man where he hung from the floor
He stood there shivering
Staring at the slithering masses I stood among
The upside-down right-side-up man
I looked around because he was right
We are the mold on the ceiling of his vision
He bends rules, the up-side down man
Not because he cares, or dares
Not to rebel, or make a point
He doesn't see them, can't know them
He has a vision from another world
And there's no rules there
The upside-down man knows
Everyone[thing] is wrong
"All hail the upside down man!"
I like it, and I think I know how he feels, makes me want to meet this friend of yours and receive some of his knowledge.
Kinda has some emotional touch, like the forsaken hero, not knowing that he's right, makes me cry ![]()
A fools birth
makes you forget
to leave earth
and leave your debt
and when the children smile
it empties our world
and makes it worthwhile
before it whirled
and it will Be Forever
even the joy in heaven
won't cool down bitter
cannot unheathen
when earth makes it cycle
again and again and again
This is my personal philosophy
just live your life
let it be
and seek no trouble
do the things with good will
and try to solve
wanna chill?
then play some golf
aim for greatness
do not complain
don't make a mess
and go insane
this world is yours
and ours!
I Really Hate Reading It Hurts My Brain
WW
Hunger-hearted he hasted
dashing through the snow
years have been wasted
running for a change now
Winter wished Wallace well
though he really couldn't tell
said things would soon come
to end
Soon delayed over a season
August summer did the bidding
Granted painly for the stirling
yet he was not the subject
Every hitting for a reason
bring WW in for treason
