Colours Of Truth - A Book Of My Versed Thoughts by Nobody: 11:20pm On May 23, 2015 |
I wanted to open this in Diaries, but I had a change of mind; I want people to ask me questions about these verses sometimes. It's more like the verses write themselves these days. No, they form themselves. As my thoughts grow into verses, I'll drop the ones that won't shock the world too much here as most would, really, like this one. Here I go........ God knows I've failed And so do others I don't deserve blessings From kind hearted lovers I know I'm selfish Cold blooded at times And when I lose control I'm driving blind I close my eyes When I see My life being taken Out from under me It boils my blood It fuels my fury Clouds my vision And my thoughts get blurry I hate the person That I have become Wish it away I try to run But I end up dizzy From the circles I make Hit the walls And try to break Them down to only see myself Because I'm the only one who's left 2 Likes 3 Shares |

There's a grassy field behind the window here. When the wind blows, and each leaf bends into a bow....... Wind whispered To the blade of grass And the grass blade bowed Gracefully And danced, First tentatively, Then joyously, Wildly, Ecstatically . . . And the wind Sang. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

What is the colour of love? It should be brown, shouldn't it? Hearts are brown, aren't they? And the bloods that drip from the teeth of vampires? Deep in a forest/Lush and green/A young beauty/Lies unseen/Lost in slumber/Eternal rest/In a bed of flowers/A fragrant nest/For she awaits/Her gleaming knight/To find this treasure/Hidden from sight/He will lean in/Brush away her hair/To find a maiden/Soft and fair/Lowers his hood/To deliver a kiss/That will break the spell/And bring happiness 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Please, brother don't follow my thoughts closely. They've ran wild, wandered; it could be the beginning of a long, long journey to madness. So, tonight, I let them go wherever they would and I chased them, traced them with my pen, and I brought them back to the paper and this is what I got. I'm not sure it even makes any sense; I just wanted to see them run away; free. Lets see where this takes us. A stream of conscious Putting my words onto the screen Black and white Clear and simple. Each word a world unto itself Clearly defined Solid Sturdy Safe Visible thoughts Transmuted from electrical impulse And chemical interactions Into art With the gentle movements of fingertips Moving as if to music In response to some half heard beat That resonates through the bone From the marrow Onto the white marble of the screen Chipping away at the unmarked perfection Etching into it your dreams So where do they come from? These thoughts that meander In random directions As at the whim of dice Cast by uncaring gods? Carried by the winds if whimsy An errant balloon with no purpose I long for that music Played without thought From the depths of this muddled mind That will drive me from my seat And into the sun In search of something Anything To express what I hear and feel Something To shiver my soul To fill my empty head The world is out there Everything Laid at our feet If we but had the will to make use of it Nothing Nothing drives me Apathy and laziness claimed me And I languish Lamenting my own weaknesses With cynical laughter Misplaced mirth that has no venom For venom too would take effort Boredom Words without care Or thought Travelling wherever the mind takes them Creating a path I can follow Back to the beginning Lets see where this takes us …. I'm still I so don't bother. 1 Like 1 Share |

S called me this morning; S would be leaving in the evening. It's sad; so sad, but all the best I wish for you, S! Were you content, my love, like me to pause beside the slow, sombre stream, and like me, did you dream of those past years whose images were caught and carried down like fallen leaves helpless in the current toward the sea? Did you, like me, feel time suspended, a moment stretching out to touch the far bank, stopping the current in its bed, and did you, in this moment, feel that all the gifts that life could offer would never match this single brightest flare of time whose brief existence now alas, has ended? |

To Everyone Who Read My Poems...... Although it's early June,the burning sun outside is sparing no effort to warm this indifferent heart inside of me which is getting poorer and poorer every second. The moment when you said you had no words after reading some dull poems of mine,for they read like a beautiful prayer from nature to you, you made my day and now I feel inspired a bit. Perhaps I should keep on scribbling and wish that what seems to be useless weeds in my humble eyes might turn into green oases for some travellers on hot and dry deserts Timpaker and texanomaly, is this prose poetry? 1 Like 1 Share |

Mirror mirror, on the wall, Can't I be the fairest, of them all? Do the fairest, ask the same as me? Is what you mirror, what they see? Mirror, mirror, on wall, Of same old sights, you must be bored: The dissatisfaction, over reactions, the scrutinisation, and complication, the sighing, the crying, the self esteems dying, the pullings and placings, tuckings and tracings. Mirrors, mirrors on the wall, reflecting down an endless hall, This fairytale has become stale, the happy ending's off this trail. Why can't I just accept your gift? This endless passage, down I trail. ****** And Ishilove locked that thread...... And Ishilove sent me to bed........... ****** Gooonight 1 Like |

Even in the heart of utter glee Embers of gloom lurk; Their tongues may rise and devour thee Oh, Ye Memory bird! Time doth toll with every smile That sits upon thine eyes And so will go a bell to steal From ye, the future chimes. The glee and gloom will merge at last; The ground will slip away The song and dance will be a past To but a lifeless hay. |

The burning sun has had its due my sight diminished by its hue but this composer of my life was worthy of the sacrifice Let me show a song for you that’s brought me joy my whole life through, include the chorus of the trees as summer wind’s do life’s hurt ease. When all the trials and pain of life engulf the spirit in their strife a path through motioned wheat deep fields fills me with joy and sadness yields. Soft pliant sand beneath my feet next to the rippling tide’s sly creep twixt sea and soughing of the reeds, some manna for my soul it feeds. Best out into the land and love, let nature be your turtle dove, be deaf not to its bill and coo, a song of healing, sung for you. |
