Stuck in the hallway, shouting at ghosts.

About this poem:
Please add a line. Let it take the poem forwards. Allow it to be as open as possible for the next line that follows. You can add more than one line, but no consecutive additions.Let's see where it leads.
Let's try for about 2/3 weeks worth.
I'll compile and publish it on here at the end of that time.
A Town Of Somewhere
Nothing for me to see
Nothing for me to do
That place had a name
And now I'm forgetting it too
Friends have all disappeared
Into thin air
If only I could exist
In a town of somewhere
Wake up early mornings go walking in the dark
Lights turning on in peoples houses
And daybreak will find me
With a longing heart
For a new beginning
A life that is fair
Guess I'll keep on drifting
Till I find a town of somewhere
Nothing for me to do
That place had a name
And now I'm forgetting it too
Friends have all disappeared
Into thin air
If only I could exist
In a town of somewhere
Wake up early mornings go walking in the dark
Lights turning on in peoples houses
And daybreak will find me
With a longing heart
For a new beginning
A life that is fair
Guess I'll keep on drifting
Till I find a town of somewhere

Post CommentI Don't Know Where I Am
The river is winding round round
The river is winding round round
The world is spinning round round
And I don't know where I am
The river is looking dirty now
The river is looking dirty now
The world is looking dirty now
And I don't know where I am
The politicians go round round
The politicians go round round
The government is not what our forefathers found
And I don't know where I am
The eagle is slowly flying round round
The eagle is slowly flying round round
Things in the sky are falling down down
And I don't know where I am
The river is winding round round
The world is spinning round round
And I don't know where I am
The river is looking dirty now
The river is looking dirty now
The world is looking dirty now
And I don't know where I am
The politicians go round round
The politicians go round round
The government is not what our forefathers found
And I don't know where I am
The eagle is slowly flying round round
The eagle is slowly flying round round
Things in the sky are falling down down
And I don't know where I am

online today!Sadness
Sadness cannot be defined
To one, that's heart seems
To have hardened, to and through
The vileness of this World
Sadness overcomes ones soul
To the level of oblivion
Oblivion to, what goes on around,
In this vile and lustful World
Sadness torments the soul,
To the point of despondency,
To the point of losing one's mind,
To the vileness of this World
Sadness can be overcome,
To a greater power than oneself,
For me it's Jesus, God's Son who died to save us,
From this vile World.
To one, that's heart seems

About this poem:
Trying to define, a philosophical stance of eliminating sorrow.But somehow end up in a Theistic view.
I wish you were near
I wish you were near
You were hear
In this dark blue night
After the wind is blown
Bringing the soothing rain
Where the air is cool and cam
When the breeze brings
The scent of moist earth
When the rain drops falls
Cracking on the ground
Just like drops of glass
Rhyming slowing with my
Heaving heart
When I listen to the night birds singing
In the distant trees
As songs of of lost love
That rings in my heart
When I try to embrace dreams
But Awakened to
Soft hustling sounds of rain
When night fades
Smeared in my tears
I wish you were here
I wish you were near
You were hear
In this dark blue night
After the wind is blown
Bringing the soothing rain
Where the air is cool and cam
When the breeze brings
The scent of moist earth
When the rain drops falls
Cracking on the ground
Just like drops of glass
Rhyming slowing with my
Heaving heart
When I listen to the night birds singing
In the distant trees
As songs of of lost love
That rings in my heart
When I try to embrace dreams
But Awakened to
Soft hustling sounds of rain
When night fades
Smeared in my tears
I wish you were here
I wish you were near

the end
Feeling it loom
Impending doom
Holding
Not knowing
Controlling
By molding
The shaming, maiming the blaming
Life shadow is waning
See future fading
Cursed burden containing
Close more comes
Filling the heart disabling the lungs
Blaming and shaking
Never show the hating
Humble he stumbles the world at stake
Man faces his making in its wake
Lost inside a tide
Rushing stampede look to hide
Nothing to try
Lie pain and sigh
Hit and bash another one smash
A second peace, fleeting dash
Last words unspoken
The mind left behind broken
In vain a claim lips blame but tame
Now all has gone the soul a slain
With a nod and stare shell hear no care
Leaving to fair into nowhere an existence cutout never there
Impending doom
Holding
Not knowing
Controlling
By molding
The shaming, maiming the blaming
Life shadow is waning
See future fading
Cursed burden containing
Close more comes
Filling the heart disabling the lungs
Blaming and shaking
Never show the hating
Humble he stumbles the world at stake
Man faces his making in its wake
Lost inside a tide
Rushing stampede look to hide
Nothing to try
Lie pain and sigh
Hit and bash another one smash
A second peace, fleeting dash
Last words unspoken
The mind left behind broken
In vain a claim lips blame but tame
Now all has gone the soul a slain
With a nod and stare shell hear no care
Leaving to fair into nowhere an existence cutout never there

online today!Fancy
It´s pleasant to spend time sleeping out,
waking up,
don`t have to jump up in a hurry, cozy breakfast,
enough time doing things for yourself, everything you have to do
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won`t turn you away
You must always be healthy and earn money and feed your children and
get up early when they need to go to school
of yourse, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won´t turn you away
That´s why I don`t have children and a man,
for living free without obligations and constraints
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won´t turn you away
I have a colleage who has seven children and she gets up at half past three in the morning to carry the daily newspaper around before she wakes the children;
The youngest she still has to dress and prepares breakfast.
Then she goes cleaning in five different places until evening at half past ten
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won`t turn you away
May be, that I missed something in my life without raising my own children;
If I had found the right father of my children
and now my biological clock has expired
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won´t turn you away
I feel in love with you
because you were good to me like no one before.
You did it out of pity and that´s why you don´t want to meet me anymore because our love has no future.
(that´s a painful experience of my last encounter)
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won`t turn you away
At first it was new and very lovely and then less and less until nothing.
Ended a year ago.
And now he is with a woman who speaks the same native language.
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won´t turn you away
It´s only when I fall in love with someone else that I may forget him.
I havn`t met anyone who is that good.
I feel lovesick and my abdomen hurts to demand.
Of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won`t turn you away
Women need to be able to relax and drop to be satisfied,
need a man who strives for her
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won´t turn you away
You are a young, strong, tall man with dark skin colored shapely body,
with which you radiate warmth and security,
where you feel comfortable and whom you like to caress and entwined in
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won´t turn you away
In the beginning was the curiosity and the desire to try.
Well, it was phantastic for me,
but I noticed you felt more and more repelled by my old,
flabbied, wrinkled body
of course, my dear,
if you fancy me,
I won`t turn you away

Empty pages
Its the terror of the empty pages
and it all backs up
backs up like reams of emptiness
until all you can do
is lie and listen
to a city of bums
in the night
burying themselves
in their trashcan distractions
and it all backs up
backs up like reams of emptiness
until all you can do
is lie and listen
to a city of bums
in the night
burying themselves
in their trashcan distractions

About this poem:
Close the shades, whistle a happy tune..The wish
The feeling
Familiar
Our life
Part of us
This can’t be
Break free
A man I am, inner me
Ultimately foresee
In him I seek closure from tyranny
Louder than before
Standing tall no more
Words fall
Hear whisper call
Familiar
Our life
Part of us
This can’t be
Break free
A man I am, inner me
Ultimately foresee
In him I seek closure from tyranny
Louder than before
Standing tall no more
Words fall
Hear whisper call

Post CommentBefore There Was Stress
Before there was stress there was being young
Before there was stress there was being alive
Before there was stress I was me
Now I'm just someone trying to survive
Before there was stress there was a view
Before there was stress the colors adjusted their hue
And I could see for miles and miles
Before there was stress I had lots of style
Before there was stress the curtains were never drawn
And the days went on and on
Before there was stress I had the comfort of time
Before there was stress everyday was always mine
Before there was stress there was being alive
Before there was stress I was me
Now I'm just someone trying to survive
Before there was stress there was a view
Before there was stress the colors adjusted their hue
And I could see for miles and miles
Before there was stress I had lots of style
Before there was stress the curtains were never drawn
And the days went on and on
Before there was stress I had the comfort of time
Before there was stress everyday was always mine
