Desecrate, Culminate, Originate

Posted in dark, poetry, unique on March 28th, 2004 by Josiah

Desecrate, salivate, tempting tempers irritate.
Swindlers singing, screaming, clinging,
To their bottles, voices ringing.

Culiminate, infuriate, heated hearts just palpitate
Neighbors worry, whimper, scurry
Tuck their tails, fleeing flurry.

Originate, commemerate, silky shadows permeate
Duck and cover, hide my blunder
Protected by the guise of thunder.

This poem has a specific rhythm; maybe I’ll record myself reading it aloud. Thanks for reading.

Help Me Help You

Posted in couplets, dark, poetry, rhyming on March 26th, 2004 by Josiah

Filled with anger, full of fright
Terrifying, guilt-filled night
Plea with her to understand
Fix her feelings on demand

Crimes of love and those of hate
Sentences not for debate
Explain my care now and again
Say goodbye, this is the end

How he hurt you, left in pain
Stinging tears and dying flames
Let me hold you, move in near
I’ll take you oh so far from here

You don’t want my help, you say
Push aside my cares today
There’s a new day on the morrow
Too bad yours must end in sorrow

Hrm. Thanks for reading.

Breathtaking, Earth-shaking, Postively Nerve-Breaking

Posted in couplets, dark, poetry, rhyming on March 19th, 2004 by Josiah

Mistakes mistakes oh blazing quakes
Softened nerves and hands that shake
Twisted rules for twisted games
Dance about the dying flames.

Weep, oh weep dear crying eyes
To fill the oceans with your lies
Drowning friend and foe the same
All losers in this deadly game.

Run and hide, oh silly bard
Don’t care, don’t fret, but play your card
A move so morbid none can see
Quite clear through your transparency.

Sing your song and tell your tale
Frightened child ‘neath life’s veil
Neighbors say they love you so
Then spill your blood upon the snow

This illustrates my callous nature in highschool; every highschool kid is callous and misunderstood, no? Thanks for reading.
