Late Night Poetry

[togitc]

I don't know about anyone else but I could use a stage, a spotlight, and an all black outfit. Pass the nails around and listen to the people speak their souls and let loose the knowledge.

In other words, write your late night poetry my friends. And remember, it's nightime somewhere.

Steps up to the mike

I was once told that I should never ask someone to do something that I wouldn't. Personally, I think that is bull-shit but here it goes. Some of my older stuff to get the mood going.
===========

Could I by chance be self destructing
The big red button I want to push

Abort, abort
cries my head

Push it
screams everything else

Self destruction starts with such a little effort

*click*

There is this tune that is haunting me.

I close my eyes and all I see is you

It's like verse with a melody.

I close my eyes and all I see is you

That is is.

I close my eyes and all I see is you

A thundering silence, that shatters my soul

I close my eyes and all I see is you

---

The words they ain't there
I sit and sit, just to stare
It makes my want to pull out my hair
Them words they just ain't there

I hit the keys quick
With a click and a click
The words don't stick
I hit the key real fucking quick

Midnight is my greatest inspiration
My thoughts turn to the horizon
Now I just gotta get some pants on
Midnight sucks as my greatest inspiration

Tick
In my mind the world is gray
Tock
The clouds always rain
Tick
Rays of light rarely break through
Tock
I love it
Tick
Raindrops cleanse the broken parts of my soul
Tock
A baptism of silver

---

In verse I am a shadow
the darkness too cold
the light never a choice
so there I stood
never one nor the other, yet both
A beacon of light in the darkness
A stain in the light

My latest I've been toying with...

You leave me grasping
for more. For one more
kiss, touch, breath of air -
inhaled from the March cold,
strangely not spring-like.
Snow still lingers in the cobwebbed clouds
and you exhale back into empty space.

Your fingertips tip toe tip
across my skin, but I am left
wanting one last caress from the hand
you roll around me nightly. One more
smile you don't delicately toss around.

My mind is screaming, to say something;
to think of something to make you realize
how easily I can trip over my own words,
my own commands and be left face down -
facing feet. Don't look up.

Your finger is a lovely digit
to be utterly wrapped around insanely.

Don't look down. Don't trip.
Don't take for granted the little things,
the sweet caresses over late-night
babbling laughter. Don't push;
I'm not sure I could take it.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Good one.

Submitting? You mean, I'm still required to do that!? Haha.
I need to get it to the point where I like it tons and tons, and it's not there yet.

Aww, missed the late night poetry party!

Tog, Ari.....like what you guys have done.

 

[togitc]

You can never miss the late night, the sun is always down somewhere.

 

[moonlight elf]

Very True.

I'll see if I can do a poetry blurt......haven't written anything decent in months.

Taste

Let me
Eat
You
Up.

Lie
Down.

And I
Will let you
Taste
Your own
Desire
Upon my
Tongue.

 

[togitc]

My fingers still trace the curves of your body
I can feel you next to me

The thirst I have for your touch holds no bounds
I am have forgotten the taste of water and found your flowing stream

Your kisses are like raindrops
Chilling my skin and warming my blood

Yet in all things, this is but a dream
The drought remains

 

[togitc]

shadows view

in the stillness i see you shine
the world around you is touched by your glow
flecks of your touch linger on my world
i shouldn't allow you here, yet here you remain

when the world returns you are gone
the lingering flecks fade
i need you here, even if it is wrong

Long Goodbye

(I know, I know..ya'll don't know me...)


Waiting for that final “so long”
A breath of finality
A tender kiss which doesn’t end
Until you go
Leaving behind the lies and fights
When you go
Taking my heart with you

Waiting for that final “see you”
Memories fade slowly
A soft goodbye, a breathless farewell
Until you go
Leaving behind recriminations
When you go
Taking my heart with you

Waiting for that last “I love you but,”
Eternity stopping in that moment
That last sad look, a wave
Until you go
Leaving behind my sadness, my apologies
When you go
Taking my heart with you

Everyone is welcome, a stranger is just someone you haven't stabbed in the back yet... or something of the sort.
