Sorry for the hurt
Sorry for the pain
Sorry for what I put you through
Sorry for the blame
The words I want to hear
Never spoken
The time I want to spend
Forever broken

[marigold]

A feeling of being in 2 places at once
Hearing the leaves rustling in the poplar trees
Seeing the harbour lights aglow
Wishing this was a moment you could freeze

In both places, out of time
Growing cold inside the mind

Distinguish between both realities
A journey north on the highway
Another dream to find
A chance of freedom someday

Smiling faces, distant lights
A million stars on crisp clear nights

Find your way out of the shadows
They reach out trying to forever cling
This time you can’t go back
To what the future may never bring

The pattern emerges, sorrow relived
Cast aside the past, you’ll find you never lived

[marigold]

Striving every day to be the best
Wishing you could just get some rest
All you can do is sit and stare
At the ones who dream and dare

They say that pride comes before a fall
I’ll be the one to make that call
Trying to make it, wish me luck
But if I fail, don’t give a fuck

[marigold]

all right it has come
my package of seaweed
moist and layered
it’s all i need

i’ll wrap you in it
and see you
with healthy teeth

once and for all
the seaweed

The Pumpkins also plan to tour South America and Australia in 2010 and hope to return to the U.S. later this year.[/quote:34xy3onc]

I hope they include New Zealand in ‘Australia’.

yeah

— she was one of my primary school teachers, from when I was 6. She was on this documentary about these cults, they showed her under hypnosis, saying what she had been through.

[marigold]

and here you go, not that great, but you get the picture….. and

Every day you see them
The little children learning
Supervising their playtime
Teaching them to read and write

And on the weekend
Visit the cult that brainwashed you
And sacrifice the baby
They made you do it

Only remembering when
Deep under hypnosis
The terror and desperation
If only you could have saved them

It’s too late to go back
What’s done is done
The shame of what you did
The pain of what you lost

[marigold]

Yeah, well, I have that black shock-rock side too, you know… A sweet, honest guy with a little nasty edge?

But yeah, I can understand your reaction, marigold. Sometimes, I like to go beyond the

1,000 pills downed , to see what is there to explore… Makes me remember a little anecdote… In Highschool, when I wrote for the School newspaper, I wrote a shock-story for the Final Exams edition. It was a psychodelic mindtrip, in which the School Principal was ritually killed by a student. That math teacher thingy actually refers to that story a little, in a way. Anyway, during the Proms speech the School Principal couldn’t help but saying that this years’ edition of the Final Exams newspaper was the weirdest he had ever seen in his career, thanks to some stories he read in it!

It’s all mindplay only, please remember that, marigold… [/quote:30mxoxe5]

okay then….. I might have a shocking poem for you too…. you mentioning the school teacher and ritual killing reminded me of something…. except it’s a true story…..

[marigold]

I really wasn’t expecting the thoughts of jaggy to go that way.

[marigold]

There’s a plague spilling over the land
Wilting everything in its path
Run away from the death
Shiver and scream to the edge
Leaping off into the nightmares below
No solace found in the dark chasm
Fires roar and spit out demons
Chaos ruling the world
Feeding on the fears
Naming those who disappeared
In their vain attempt to wipe out
The ones who seek control

[marigold]

The harbour reflects the grey sky
Dark clouds are moving in closer
Trickling raindrops down the glass
A ferry leaves for the mainland

The wild forests and tranquil lakes
Land is glimpsed from across the bay
Beckoning me over the waters
Hidden coves where dolphins play

Moving through the waves
The ferry takes me there
A few miles into the heartland
Taking a dusty road from the pier

Tangled vines on the hillsides
Mist hanging over the valley
Climb up higher to see the view
Echoes of peace ring out everywhere

[marigold]

Moulded from the red clay below
These people came from the earth
The life force between earth and sky
Breathed into from their birth

Forests and mountains held as sacred
They honour the land and ocean
To keep their lore alive
Stories and legends are passed down

The prow of a boat
Carved out with a face
A guide for their journey
Safe passage to a faraway place

A green and smooth stone
Chiseled and worn by the elements
Once removed and forgotten
Just one touch reconnects

The clothes and garments found
A bag to hold their wares
Wall hangings in different patterns
Carefully woven in stories to share

A whale stranded in the bay
The bones collected as tradition
Intricate designs create a treasure
An ornament or ceremonial weapon

These stories found in pieces
In wood, stone, flax and bone
Histories and memories
They rest with them alone

[marigold]

Like a fallen star
They find themselves alone
Empty, withered and betrayed
I take away the soul
And find the core
Half-eaten and rotting
Their deception lies inside
Breaking down invisible walls
Truth shared
Lies devised
Fake smiles
Weary eyes
A second glance
Reaching out to grasp
At nothing

[marigold]

wow guys, is this a poetry battle? [/quote:3367496g]

A war of words
Through time and space
Break the continuum
And keep up the pace
Many battles not won
With rules to instigate
Break the monotony
And open the floodgate
Pouring out into the river
Endless rhymes and riddles
Catch up with the flow

[marigold]

thoughts of jaggy I

misled is the brain
that wants
me to want me
that’s
who we are

I’m wood
like fire
like glass and stone
like water
and you sail my flames
why?
I’m not the one
to tell you that I’m moving
and you’re not?

truth
is in the 7 words
that we both don’t dare to speak
so shut up and dance
dance our dance in the fading sunlight
dance my brains on the concrete
and I’ll cut your silence
in half

thoughts of jaggy II

the hunt
is on
the bass is pumping
running, evolving
running, reaching
kadeng, kadeng
the smelly fur of the jaguar

jumping, claws pointing
nails in my eyes

eat me alive, my friend
I’m ready, I’m done

thoughts of jaggy III (unfinished)

I embraced the sun
I captured the castle
I exploded my heart to you
[/quote:ehyx6kxi]

[marigold]

Lost
Stuck on this island
Strange happenings abound
Jumping back and forth in time
A monster living underground
Try to escape the madness
Not sure who to believe
Memories from another space and time
Figuring out another way to leave

———————————————

Once again drifting alone on the sea
Following wherever the currents may go
Having no power over their flow
No way to change it, just let it be
The tide pulls me in to shore
An empty beach with dunes to cross
Finding something that was never lost
The waves yet to bring something more

[marigold]

She walks the labyrinth path
Spiralling in and out
Calling on the god of death
To assist in letting go

Meandering but determined
Weaving patterns of life
Dancing into the vortex
Returning within herself

[marigold]

The eagle flies on its sole journey
Looking down on barren fields
Empty rivers and toxic seas
The last bird on its final flight

Finding a branch of a dying tree to perch on
He looks out over the deserted land
The bones left as reminders
Of a battle no one could fight

There was no freedom found
No abundance to share
Only emptiness in these lands
The eagle rises and soars into the night

[marigold]

I step out of the alleyway
To face the world outside
Calling out to a passer-by
Please can you spare some change?

I need a brand new skin
I need to fill this empty hole
I need new shoes to walk in
I sure could use some change

Some way to get out of this rut
Stuck in a cycle of repression
Finding all the doors shut
What is it you want to change?

[marigold]

A smile, a frown, a wrinkled brow
Keep it handy to the soul
A little bit of energy
To keep the fire burning
Drink it up some more
Feed the victims of an inner war
A clock is ticking somewhere
Discouraging, dissolving
Catching up on unreported news
Patient in the knowing
A little seed keeps growing

[marigold]

Fading out in the stillness
A faint cry to the believers
Desperate and deserted
The broken-hearted achievers
Time to be set free
Turned loose on the streets
This is a dangerous game
Played out with no repeats

[marigold]

Staring out through the bars
Cautiously finding its way
The heart beats like pulsing stars
There’s just no way of knowing
These simple imperfections
Finding it hard to believe
Drawn from flawed frustrations
A half-framed picture of reality
