May they lie of the Canadian goose down
The bosom of my birthed head
A mothers arm and teat
White on walking pink
Of Wooded icicle worlds shielded
Blanketed by trespassing rabbits
Peter jealous of pine
Gnawed by inaction
The Pleistocene fantasy
Willing slaughter at midnight
To chandelier cutters
Void with hushed depression
Work, without play
Rapt rooms
Windows
Voices echoing frozen adjustments

This Johnny... ?
photomares:
exactly!
But goddamnit I was in a crowded room, I was amongst every ghost, I was in my own hell, the epiphanies of ecstasy burnt white whispers, mirrors on the ceiling selling black murder rape, She stole from me children, I loved it like a fountain to a hydrogen vampire. I was happy in the sunlight from the windows above, my view overlooking a small terrace,...

This here is another installment of getting to know some damn poets......
Go Down, Death
James Weldon Johnson
(A Funeral Sermon)
Weep not, weep not,
She is not dead;
She's resting in the bosom of Jesus.
Heart-broken husband--weep no more;
Grief-stricken son--weep no more;
Left-lonesome daughter --weep no more;
She only just gone home.
Day before yesterday morning,
God was looking down from his great,...

madi:

I've never been to florida. I assume that where you mean. Heard it's fun.
This poem is so great...I am posting regardless of what I feel now, or what context today signifies in terms of weekends, and fun....seriously anyone who likes poetry, and wants to read a GREAT AMERICAN poet...it doesn't get much better than Langston

Langston Hughes

i've watched lots of mcqueen, but remember little. i'm into the great escape simply because it was a true story. everything that happened in the movie, happened in real life. the movie may have embellished or made things more dramatic, but it's the closest a movie can get to the real thing without being classed a documentary.
hellsforheroes:
apparently nobody like Langston.......
I spit this shit out day-in day-out...ten fold what gets to be read...who thinks I should do something with it.....if anyone...so yeah, I feel like a tongue depresser...this here piece is called, Langston Blues.
This maybe the last words uttered
I quit
Its okay
I dont even know myself
My father told me not to shit
Where I eat
Or
Piss in the cash register...

That wasn't me before. I never say "cool" My husband likes to read your writing too. White glue.... ? *yummy* Your posts really confuse me.
pekoe:
SO you do some writting too, Hellsforheros! I dig. I've not heard of Eve Alexandor, but I've put the name down on my list of those to read. Do you read your stuff anywhere?
These were the first words of my mental renaissance, a year and a half ago...nothing great, just a beginning, kinda like Lake Itasca in Northen Minnesota...you can figure out what the lake becomes....

I wish I could live inside your poetry. I'm really crying right now. I don't want to put my problems on you so just ignore me.
I regret my life so far.

awwww, you rock like bach hells.

Reasons are deeply hidden in the abyss, for that I can say they exist but I am not fully aware of their persistent presence. The water carries leaves, shingle particles and earthly sediment down into a resevoir from which I can see my reflection. On some days, I'd rather not look. Then again perhaps it's as simple as what happens when you drag yourself off a binge. Either way, things are better now. Have a good week yo. I gotta catch up on your entries.
On a sip of water I sailed ends of earths;
worlds came and worlds went
hard hearted rock after soupy sinister, storms
my eyes burning carbon paper eyelids for you.
I hoped as days became light to be held
thinking only to even the comfort of a silhouette
blessing amused barely a pedigree
simple grief to the emptiness, circa date you.
Magnets melted my compass;...
