Read a poem (or two) written by Jason.

suffering

well there go my synapses firing
my thoughts like bullets
i'm a loaded gun
just waiting to go off
go on feeding me your lies
i'll gladly use them as ammunition
when the war erupts
i'll be armed to the teeth
as you start things off with another falsehood
here comes my justice barreling down on you
click... click... boom
what a joy it is to hurt
to make you feel the pain i've carried
i'm confronting you with a cold, dark stare
and if looks could kill
i'd watch you die
yes, i'd watch you die
and then i'd sit back and cry
a river of red making fountains of my eyes
tears being shed of a blood so red
slowly the wounds will heal
some day, once again, i'll feel
until then, here's to suffering

[Jason]

mary

i wish i was high on life
but she'll do for now
settle these rattled nerves
the brain can't handle the sensory overload
it wants out, but the heart holds it back
until she comes along
take a deep breath
here comes the rush
that dizzying merriment
and a slow exhale
there she goes
floating off to my left
look at mary go 'round
on the merry-go-round

[ZeUs!!]

Surely you could make a mint if you get those published?

very good work jason

[Jason]

I'm feeling rather creative this morning. Here are a few more.

mayday

i wanted to feel the warmth
of your cheek against mine
but you just rolled over
gave me the cold shoulder
laying here, wrapped up in
this blanket of lies
blood pulsing quickly, drowning out
the sound of your cries
toss my heart out the window
you wanna see if it flies

i'm taking a nosedive
mayday! mayday!
i hope i crash into you
i'm taking a nosedive
mayday! mayday!
c'mon, crash into me too

[Jason]

misery

they say i have to eat to stay alive
i say life's been leaving a bitter taste in my mouth
for as long as i can remember
and so i'm starving
hungry for love
hungry for some sort of meaning
here, have another helping of pain
they say
i hear there's an all-you-can-eat special on misery
they say
and so it goes
offer me up more suffering
it's the only thing on the menu

[TelC@t]

So I figured love wont help someone fight depression?

I wish it would.

[Jason]

line

thought i'd reached the end of the line
but you took it
took it from me
grabbed the line and with care so fine
suddenly the line was bending
a shape slowly circling its way into itself
spiraled so sweetly as the line was neatly
transformed
you turned it into a thing of beauty
a circle allows progress
a line does not
and you took my line
you took it from me
bent it all out of shape
i'm no longer upset, nor filled with regret
i'll progress along the circle you created
follow it until i meet myself
when i meet me, make sure i completely
understand i can never thank you enough
never thank you enough
thank you

[Jason]

glance

eyes so magnetic
suddenly i'm sliding across the floor
quickly pass through the door
all i want is just one more
glance
give me a chance
to see two orbs so exquisite
and just what the hell is it
behind your devilish gaze
that draws me to you
i'm drawing a line to you
do you see it?
it's a fine line
one end is mine
take the other and pull
now it's a tug-o-war
such a splendid chore
being dragged toward your side
you win
let me in
behind those eyes and that smile
let me sit and stay awhile
and we'll talk until the sun comes up
let's greet tomorrow together

[Jason]

Here's the last one for a bit. If you're wondering why I'm jumping all over the place with my emotions, well, let me say this... The majority of my writing revolves around what's going on in my life. It just so happens that I'm having a rough time with an ex-girlfriend, hence all of the bitterness and anger. At the same time, I met a wonderful girl the other night. Her name is Pamela. She inspired those last two poems. She's also the subject matter of this one. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you've enjoyed the others.

adventure

excuse me miss? i seem to be lost
lost in the mysterious airs that surround you
i'd like to join them if i may
i'd like to listen to what they have to say
perhaps they'd tell the tale of a wanderer
or maybe they'd whisper sweet nothings in my ear
let me know i have nothing to fear
drown out the world so there's nothing to hear
but the sound of something wonderful happening
the sound of your heart beating
the smack of our lips meeting
something wonderful...
you are wonderful, beatiful, and it's indisputable
i haven't felt this good in years
so what are you waiting for?
kiss me again... and again... and again
and i swear i can't remember when
i've felt so good
you feel so good
wrap your arms around me and hold on tight
we'll dive into this adventure, you and i
we'll go on an adventure tonight

[King Missile]

Did you just make those up when you put them on the forum or did you have them prepared and ctrl-c/ctrl-v'd them?

[Jason]

The first two were taken from my notebook. I keep a notebook of poetry, in which I write at least one poem a day. The others were an on-the-fly thing.

[EDIT]The ones taken from my notebook are very recent. I wrote them this past weekend.[/EDIT]

Ever get the urge to think happy thoughts? If not I know conc's got some contacts who specialise in making people happy for a small regular fee

Weed softens me up a bit. Other than that, I like to consider myself manic impressive. ;]

heres a poem.

Hate

I hate you and everything you do, the way u laughed and smiled too, I wish I never met you, kissed or held you tight, I wish to god I never gave you my number that night, I hate your look, your scent and your hair, I hate how sad I look now that youre not there

I hate how lost I am and alone its true, I hate how my heart longs and waits for you

I hate how I wish I had one more chance. But Ive given up on love and despise romance,

The looks of my room with out you not inside, the sadness in my eyes and pain I cant hide, I deny and try to block out the hurt and the memories, but everywhere I look I see you and me,

I hate that I cant be myself with out you here, I hate I lost my other half and cant have him near, it hurts when you know you caused it all that its all your fault your own tears to fall...

I hate that there is no other way, and how I have to spend each and every day knowing I was wrong once more, and like the rest you slammed the door, and shut me out of your life and heart, and yet I knew it would happen from the start, I know what happened was for the best, but all I can think of is how much I hate how you ended up like the rest...
