Obligtory Pompous Mental Spew

[Grieves]

When free will becomes free form
and we all travel so fluidly
liquid can be boxed into
cute packages for only so long

Becoming one without consequences
leads one down a delightful path
while walking w/ those who
share the secrets of the journey

A million thoughts lay awake restless
tired of running thru a mind pulled
in directions without axi's

Can we all just confront our truths
before the lies become so common
that hot air is the only travel we seek

Looking forward to reclaiming the past
makes the days travel so fast
making peace with the fact that its not the same
plain and uneventful is the fate of those displaced

Speculation kills the messenger
alarming as it is there are proper times
for every bombshell

Showing no interest yields interest
our prophets were all wrong
when they laid out the future determined

Determining how to spend the future
leaves us broke and penniless
looking towards the past

i dig, it's just precise enough to know what youre on about yet vague enough to let you fill in some spaces youreself and not have it completely set for everyone that reads it

[Grieves]

Word up nilla, thx for the prups. I never read my own work beyond proofing, but this one got me.

[Pharm Girl]

Nice stuff Mr. G.

Could ya drum up another?
I like the part about consequences.....

[Grieves]

Part 2....



Can I even begin to say what i want to
without you turning to run

One foot forward
Two steps back

Falling for old faults
memories bystander

We all wish for the past to be
as great as the futures we plan

Everything comes easy while avoiding the truth
looking the other way as deception talks

Requiring anything else but what we've been
has become a question answered before asked

Common perception finds a way to make itself
the truth that is most fittingly false

Tossed away when boredom shows
entertainment is sense of perspective

And when you have no perspective of your own
boredom is a friend unwanted.

[Pharm Girl]

I swear if u post part 3...I will cry!

Powerful words you have there Mr. G!

[Grieves]

a prelude, with an epilogue, or maybe something entirely different...

without scapegoats of our own
faults will tear us down
blaming, excusing yourself from
looking into the mirror

mirrors can be glorified if broken
seven yrs is a long time gone
look more at who you've become
than who you want to be
be all i want is to be
me is beyond the point excused

bruised egos and feelings left in limbo
speaking is easy when your seeking
weather or not you make an ass
out of yourself shan't be a concern
concerns melt away only to come back magnified

anti personal, borderline loner
loan point of view and the clouds may part
sunshine is the day given a chance,
may we be given a chance

to write a story while living it is hard enough
tougher still w/ no one to fact find and point prove
lies are only truths we didn't force,
courses run like oceans
everyone floats down the same stream, &
we're all drowning, drowning, drowning

[Pharm Girl]

bruised egos and feelings left in limbo
speaking is easy when your seeking

A whole book could be written on that very issue.
I really enjoy your work.
Your words do more than speak.

[Grieves]

Thank you for your kind words pharm...

[Pharm Girl]

There's alot of thought that went into alot of the stories/poetry down here in the Joint.

I use it as an outlet to all the ramblings that have troubled me past and present!

I really admire those who contribute their thoughts/feelings and fears of the world around them.

Words may very well be the root to one's soul!

[Grieves]

been bored... something i found in my notebook and have been playing with

Reflections warp
in mirrors
shattered

given up to time
as if missed by
today

memories felt
differently by those
involved

trust an issue
of pain
refracted

tomorrow comes
knowing that the landscape
deserted

a million little
pieces of the same story
altered

[Grieves]

honesty a causalty
of time
displaced

pushing away
while grasping for
a way

future limited only
by ressessions
soul felt

direction the space
placed by those
closest....

[Grieves]

When the past come crashing back
bringing with it the warmth of feelings, felt

The future stands no chance of warming thoughts, on ice

Where in, with out time we lay motionless
asking for a breath of fresh air

Retuning to lost causes keeps us spiraling into
our own minds

It's all so fluid when mistakes have been made
reflexes snap back against motion trained

We have felt things that may be misconstrued, misinterpred
mistaken and missed

Can we count on our faults to save us from the current
pulling down to recapture flashes of glitter, glistening like gold

For we are all fools for someone else's survival

Can we adapt constructively so that movement onward is as it should be,
Fate Determined....

[Grieves]
