"no more...." Written by Greg Rogers

no more....

....brought into this world with death at the side

seeing all that walk it through dead mans eyes

the good gets punished deed for deed suffer the happy

the bad gets rewards deed for deed living for the greed

seeing a bird attack a child protecting her eggs from the

rocks in his hand murdered is she now for her instinct

such justice is served apon the undeserved

a man sees the voice of children that are not

his own and his heart cries silent tears for his missing

line stolen from his world for child must remain with mother

words written in jest and fun and love from one soul to

another pain and torture to he that reads them

for his path is allowed none such as this

no time to live eternal to the dark no time

for life such is only for the fire

sin apon sin desire of the flesh such is the gift

born apon death such is the path for with

death there is no life until there is no life then

there shall be no death and through it

you still dare judge me....

"A Cure?" Written by Johnny Blade

A Cure?

Why? The reason I can't see, 
who? Has ever cared for me. 
Where? In life should I be. 
When? Will I be set free? 
Whom? To I belong. 
How? Long shall I sing this song. 
What? Is right or wrong. 
Have, I known all along? 
One, foot in front of the other. 
Two, people loving each other. 
Three, kids with no mother. 
Four, being raised by their brother. 
One, person is aware. 
Two, people with love to share. 
Three, spread it everywhere, 
NOW, there's love everywhere.

"At night, wishful harvest" Written by Christopher Ballinger

At night, wishful harvest,
The next day there's empty gardens. 
Plants grow and the blissful larvae eats till it's exo hardens. 
-- At night vision sharpens,
All the same there is only darkness.
I alone fall fate to karma, all the while living on regardless. 
(You let me down, when you wouldn't let me grow.)

"Confusion" Written by Lori Sims

Confusion

I look into your eyes and I see a gleam of light.
Your heart is opening up to things that might. 
You mind starts spinning, giving you a fright.

You cannot contemplate what could be insight.
I am waiting for you to be my white knight,
but you run away as with stage fright.
Your past haunts you and holds on tight.
When you are ready, I will be your guiding light.

"My Saviour" Written by Johnny Blade

My Saviour

There's many thoughts within my head though you can't tell from my face, 
I want to reach Val Halla so I'll somehow swim into space. 
The cosmic beauties that exist there are the angels we admire, 
it's place and how bright it is based on your inner fire. 
People tell me it's impossible and my visits to Heaven are all lies 
but I'm staring directly into God when I look in your eyes.

"A new beginning" Written by Jacob Taylor Novak

A new beginning

A new beginning,
An essence I had never foreseen. 
Have I found it?
Or am I stuck in the inbetween?
Bursting at my seams,

is it for better or worse
my insides aren't clean?
A healthy soul, a promising tomorrow;
are these excitements only borrowed?-

"Why?" Written by Rebecca Powell Merkle

Why?

Why did you
Come
Into my life, letting
Me trust

You
Woke me up
From lost ages.
But you
Created
A lie. Stole
From my
Heart a piece
Of light
With lies
And
Shame
On you
For breaking the
Ties that
Bind. Love tossed
Away like
Flowers in the"
Wind. Why did
I help, trust
And care? Because
That's who
I
Am and you
Are not.

For me.

And when I
Do something
Dangerous,
You tell me

You listen
When I need
To talk.

"Birth Of An Angel" Written by Johnny Blade

Birth Of An Angel

The answers to everything I've never known the question to your eyes show clearly, 
I will do the impossible for you anytime you ask, 
if it could make you happy then I'd choose to suffer dearly, 
serving you is my only task. 
The world has been special since your birth, 
today it's been 33 years, you've given life unexplainable worth, 
For you I'd fight all my fears. I hope you enjoy all your presents and enjoy your cake, 
I've loved you since the very first day, I wish you all the happiness you can take, 
My queen I wish you a Happy Birthday.

"Enchant" Written by Johnny Blade

Enchant

Empress of the galaxy, you have the knowledge and love that a thousand universes could not contain, somehow trapped within your eyes.
 A beauty that could not be created within one lifetime and has never been seen before. 
I cannot explain what I see, you give me feelings from which I cannot refrain, something that can never die. 
The most precious element in existence is your soul and your eyes are the door. 
Nothing has more meaning than gazing in your eyes and listening to your words, when you speak I listen in anticipation of what I shall hear.
Throughout the Heavens your voice shall be heard, such beauty doesn't exist even there as an angel looking upon you sheds a tear. 
A tear of happiness that such Heaven exists turn to tears of sadness that it's once in an eternity that a true Goddess emerges from dark ashes to change the world in such a graceful way. 
God knows that you are his greatest creation and no other will be half as perfect and so he lashes, out against the world which turned on all things but he would not harm you, so when you pass and your light is gone, God will strike and the world will see its final day.

"prayer of surrender...." Written by Greg Rogers

prayer of surrender....

here it is yours you can have this that is useless and dead to me

do with it what you will as others have done use it up

and toss it to trash or burn it as if it were vile to you

take it or tear it from me either way as your will sees

fit to choose for it is useless and dead to me

it does not keep me warm or bring joy and light

it is always cold so cold frozen through eternal night

i hear no songs or music with tantric rhythems of feeling

take it i care for it no more

take it this heart that encages and enrages and smothers

for joy of pain

take it this heart that beats only the sound of the dead....

"The fight" Written by Lori Sims

The fight

For years and years I fought by your side, 
Even through the happiness in pain.
It was everything I dreamed of including pride.

Suddenly everything begin to fall, it fell as hard is acid rain.
Even though we knew from the start it was going to be a bumpy ride.

For years and years everything you told me were lies.
To the point my heart could no longer hear love voices.
We reached the point where we could have no more tries.
I gave you the option to make the final choices.
I never knew it would lead to goodbyes

Manic Companion

I hear your voice though you are nowhere near, 
it's been five minutes but it feels like a year. 
I have no voice so it's tough to sing but in my mind I hear me scream 
"I WANT YOUR SUFFERING!" 
I want your heart and soul as mine to keep, 
I ask politely but mutter "I Know Where You Sleep" 
In the darkness I see My Fairweather Friend, 
it's 4 o'Clock and I'm reaching my end. 
You're my Juliet and not my Chambermaid, 
you Fight Like A Girl and that I praise but I need you to give me some Second Hand Faith. 
For you I'd search Across The Sky, 
we appreciate the Art Of Suicide but refuse to die. 
A Gothic Lolita with your mind out of range, 
God Help Me I love you though I wonder How Strange, 
are we together or just in my mind? 
Reality or not I'm happy O Mistress Mine.

Two Entities As One

Frozen in time, paralyzed in my brain, 
I need a new result but all I get is just the same. 
My sanity no longer in question, I feel broken in my mind, 
I search the Earth for my cure but nothing do I find. Ghosts are all around me, demons live within, 
I've made peace with all of them, I've found a new best friend. 
His name is Bruntibar and he fought me for ten years, 
we both gained strength and now as one, we turn all the gears. 
Though we are so powerful we want sleep but can't get some, 
Bruntibar and Johnny Blade, we are Johnny Manson.

Wait please don't go I'm sorry for what I said, 
please know my intentions were pure when I asked you to share my bed. 
See I cannot sleep and I have no reason why, 
I thought maybe with your embrace I could, will you give it a try? 
There's no worries or concern for you to need to feel, 
I have no joy or love or lust, lack of sleep has made me ill. 
I've tried everything within my power to try to get some sleep, 
took pills, exercised, I even tried to weep. 
So all I ask is just one chance to help me heal my brain, 
cause if I don't soon get more sleep, I'll fucking go insane.

Forgetting things that are human, feeling nothing inside anymore, 
if I can't help myself then who can? At this point I'm not sure. 
I've been left behind as a emotionless drone, 
there is no longer wrong or right, my lights are on but no one's home, 
I stare blankly into the night. Nothing is or shall be, perhaps my desires took their toll, 
I am just a thing no longer me, since the day I sold my soul.

but I was given a chance to live but instead I chose you. 
I knew that I would die for you if ever it were needed, 
they said one of us had to go and their warning I heeded. 
I love you more than time can say and even though I've gone away, 
I'll be with you each and everyday. 
Though we part in this life one day we'll be reunited,

"Chasing the Clouds" Written by Jennifer Conlee

Chasing the Clouds
By J. Renae Conlee 

Here I go again, chasing those clouds on the horizon
Always in pursuit of the storm that I know will hit

The enticing sound of the thunder
The thrilling danger of the lightning
That will bring me to my knees when it strikes my heart
I know there will be trouble, know that it will hurt
But I won't turn back towards the sun, towards the safety of daylight
I'll keep chasing those clouds as long as I can
No one told me that the silver lining was made of tin.

"The "S" On His Chest" written by Xawtik Islanda

The "S" On His Chest
By: Bridgett Allen

In these eyes' esteem, 
You are a dream...

Much more than "just a man"
You soar above the land,
See farther than what's presented,
My own little Superman...
Faster than a speeding bullet,
No one can touch you...
My eyes haven't the seconds
To see any other fellow than thee,
Stronger than 1000 men,
They fall but you stand tall,
Succumb to human temptations?
No, you see right through it all...
For you have XRay vision,
And see through any ambition,
Mighty and impervious,
You're able to withstand...
And in this bubble will I stay,
Until the day...
Then burst..........
Wait a minute....
Was it all just a dream?
Was I but a foolish dreamer?
Silly to hold you at such esteem?
Are you really, "just a man"?
Pervious of ambiguity?
No... Not so...
I look and can't find, any sign, of divinely intwined human incontinuity...
And there's still that same smile,
And in me this same feeling...
This euphoric, soul captivating love has me reeling...
I am yours...
And you are mine...
Kindred spirits in love's confine,
And It is beyond my comprehension,
Why you chose this plain Jane...
Because Superwoman I am not,
Yet still you remain...
If you are really superman, then through your X-ray eyes
Surely you must see...
Beyond my facade of tried-perfection...
Straight through to the real me?
And then it all comes rushing in,
And finally I understand,
You love me cause you're MY soul's twin...
Super-souls, super-love, can withstand...
And because if I were superwoman,
Who'd need a superMAN???
So, are you really him?
This, I don't need to know...
For I wouldn't love you any less if
That answer was "No..."

Claustrophobic mind lapse, reaching your daydreams in a convoluted dream captivation.
Harvest mechanical, Gate stop waiting for spirits and provisions, ease the clawed offender, in each temperate residue we all crawl among our moderated tilt.
Sealed vying for dominance. Kindle up the bottled nosed simplicites unable to substain any clueless remarks on any level.
honest investigations seem caught into a webbed grip our technology holds. while we all sit as a foreign extension tying around intellectual past tenses. massaging ourselves with grown sidelong tweezers. Viewing the conmencment of obedience, hedsonically attached, embroided seems leak a 30 second flash visual. You can tell your friend if your down to kill them.

Young movement of cadaver recipe, tongue tied by scuba diver soup secrets, under mining orions belt looped hole, unkempt, uncapped, hands that melt , gutter heaven, constellation enterprise, like a bitter war, concentration revamped like umbilical pursuance, by consolation , grow up and pop a eye wide open.

Leave a post mark to the bitter bones, Hollow fidgets of middle fingers, monotone groans, grave yard knuckle bruisers, gas masks like freedom in the bottom of a bottle.

Concuct a universal equation, Despondent tummy tucks, interior caterwualing for the same flat focuses. Forget the acrylic petroglyths ill stay in this state of euphoria. My odd smile Is the merest hyphen. Fingers commute to the nearest post modern statutory. We both know the articulation of this symetry.sporadic lifelines dearth the bussiness mans briefcase, piognant cullets reunite and dance to the wisful oxygen cycle. The youth and pretty little flowers are both ephemeral. They are gone before you know it.

-Matthew Guerra in high merit, two faced stars, juxtaposed in glitter downstream prepackages, Mother told me to never tie the tether, whether the inner locking are inbred unless organic is hell bent, sweat spent too congruent to instant, ergonomic skin growth, touch it till bleeds, push back etymology til it cracks and swells the knees, super prayer sickness, like built on first birth, water persistent.

We masticate like congruent emotions, grumble on the intake, motor mouth suffocation on atmosphere, two sided lense exposure, finger print on the data base, finite number primatolgy, braced teeth to dinner mount, high dive on the captains ship for more loot,

"Fatherly Wisdom" Written by Tim McIntire

My father once said that he "tried to live his life so he would like the person he found himself stuck with on his death bed". It inspired me to write 
"If there is anything you can take with you
It will be who you are and the things you've done
Fortune fades with the footsteps of time
Fame is as fleeting as the fast changing weather

Beauty recedes as you pass your prime
Power is only kept by the will of another
such is the way of life
When you come to your day of reckoning
on the very last bed you'll ever lie in
You will be alone with all you've ever done
From the first thought, to what you've become
Will you be content
or be sadly resigned
Better to live each day as it might be your last
so on that final day you can endure your past
For all we aspire that stands us forth among others
there is a price of admission; a cost of continuation
nothing can so lift us as being aware of ourselves
nor shake us to the bone as a shameful knowledge
all our own.

"Poll Position" Written by Caleb Hendricks

Poll Position 

like monkeys on a tin can playing a game of telephone
somewhere down the line between the expletives and moans
there's a lonesome operater who's just trying to make it home 

so he transfers all the calls to an open dial tone
they keep talking about the topic as if there were nothing left to say
and the people are like the principles they abuse and throw away
but if you listen very closely in the distance of their gaze
Ticking tracks and tin can laughter with no audience for the stage

like a tooth that is abscessin
the infection keeps on spreadin
till your so sick from the obsession
that you question the connection
between the election introspection
and a message as a weapon

so you tourniquet around the neck
to stop the bleeding in your leg
And take an ounce of medication
to stop the pounding in your head
and still the dedication for all the blatent things missaid
gives little commiseration for those still waiting for their dead

a game of Russian roulette
and every round's been loaded
guess which candidate is best
when your heads already exploded
close your eyes and point the blame
like a childhood game

which one of these things is not the same
which one of these things is different
which one of these things is filled with shame
which one of these things has wicked intent

in the back alleys of our nation
a bureaucratic donkey show
where you're the star attraction
between a pachyderm and a burro
so you made it to the poll
but theres not much you can do
when you realize that you're in that next stall
and he keeps tapping his foot at you

"broken" Written by Johnny Blade

I ask you to rejuvenate me with your slumber but instead I am tortured with this feeling of betrayal. 
You strike me with something I can't handle but for you I'll try in silence. 
Yes I respect you for doing things your own way, no matter how much I suffer at least I've seen someone get their way in life before mine fades into the darkness that once comforted me. 
Regardless of the fact that you slowly killed me just to see how long I'd last without you, for some reason I still love you, so with my final breath that you have taken directly from my lips, I am somehow complete in being broken.
