Where the hell have you been? I suffer through one more trial and no Lucifer to tempt me with his light. Lovely poem. 'Pea coat, stool-pigeon, cracked lips...' This poem is speaking to my twisted-up guts. Last stanza, second line 'punctures this skin' try it, you'll like it.

'I dig you Asian dude.....snap on tools'. Is its own poem. Many great images. The mexican hawking roasted maize is important. I shall write one too. .

Other than the fact that death is always inevitable, regardless, I like this poem. It says a great deal, but you have to fix 'inevitable'. Great 5 syllable word, by the way.

Re: sexy by elizabethann	13-Mar-03/10:32 AM
Im not sure 'sexy' isn't your thing. I mean a bald beautiful girl in mens clothing can be pretty down-right sexy. Think about this some more, actually don't think...feel.

I miss you. Party's End is a direct rip-off, or should I say, was inspired by this fanastic poem. but then I see my "For Monica..." at the end of this piece. The only poem of my mine the tweed-coated Babbitt ever bothered with. Come speak to me. Here I go, begging once again.

First read and these things pop... Useless hands Dry storms Mormon Temple (this is brilliant) I didn't know Papa said that. Thank you for sharing. What a fairytale. She's alive though, and that is always a good thing, or so it seems from the outside. 15 is the most dangerous year, after 13 anyway. And let me tell you 40's-no-walk-in-the-park. I shall read this again.

What hath the wise more than the fool? Ecclesiastes 6:8 All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked... a living dog is better than a dead lion. 9:1-4.

The best thing I've read in weeks. You remind me of -=Dark_Angel=-, without the pretentious wings.

This is the worst kind of bad. Parading around as something good. Sort of like a Bon-Bon filled with cod-liver oil.

Oh me oh my. What is it your trying to say?
Re: To My Grave by Bonehiss	14-Mar-03/9:16 PM
you write these poems strictly for yourself. This is completely inaccessable. Think about the audience. Tell them the story.
Re: Pushed Aside by x311	14-Mar-03/9:24 PM
Jesus, how do you people go about writing about images and then never revealing even one? A picture show? What picture show? Stolen spiols? what stolen spoils? Where!? People & places? What people? What places? A postcard from where????????!!!!!!! what the fuck all are you talking about?
Re: Threnody by Nanshe	18-Mar-03/2:32 PM
mon amie mon contre ami mon amie mon contre amie How strange. I haven't seen this til now. I feel that if your Therody and my Underseas came to life and met they would wed and give birth to a thousand pisciform children. Slippery ominess children. Then you and I would be forced to go out in our tiny boat, cast our nets, and draw back all our weird abundance before it devoured everything in its path.
Re: Live by Luv2write	19-Mar-03/11:55 PM
The first two lines are horribly cliche. Then you dive right into the juvenile idea of some happy realm in the clouds were everything is lemonade and buttercups. Everything is pretty much the same after that. What are you trying to say? What is important here, new, insightful? You are terribly naive. Write something meaningful. Write something frightening, tell me something frank and risky about yourself, your faith. This is an easter greetings card, it's not about reality, or living this life. Or the struggle of being a christian for that matter. Personally, I am an atheist who loves Jesus more than anyone else, more than any other idea. Because of what he tries to teach me. Whether there is a god or not holds no bearing on what Jesus symbolizes. Love, charity, friendship. Infact if there is no god, and Jesus was just some gentle schitzophrenic, his life is that much more poignant. Is christ really as concerned with what happens to you after you die, as he is with how you live? Paul's the one who keeps going on about the rewards of the afterlife. I mean just for the sake of arguement read the sermon on the mount or any of the parrables but instead of thinking Jesus is talking about what awaits you when you're dead, read it in the context of Jesus telling you what awaits you now, while you're here in this life, if you follow his teachings. Not to judge, but to love. That is so fucking difficult. Look at me, I couldn't be nice to Ornella if you paid me(well maybe if you paid me), and the man I have loved deeply for 7 years just dumped me, and what do I want to do? Buy a gun and shot him because of the unbearable pain I'm his brought me. That's why I love Jesus, because he offers me salvation from being such a lousy selfish impulsive animal. He says to me, "Hey, what about love. What about treating these horrible people the way you'd want them to treat you"? Because I'm horrible too, intil I train myself not to be, and for me personally, the best teacher, the one it's easiest to understand, is Christ. That is all, that's why my faith in him is important. There is no afterlife. No heaven. No hell. Most christians interpret "The kingdom of god is at hand" as meaning the end is near. Maybe it means this place here, this only existence we can be sure of, could be the kingdom of god if we just did right by each other. I've read the bible hundreds of times. I read it every day. It's mostly a fairytale, but every myth has it's lesson. Don't let the lesson be that dying is better than living. That there is a place better than this place. This place is all we have, and we have it for such a short while. Don't imagine pearly gates or strive for distant stars. Imagine a simple contentment. Strive for a moment's peace. Don't let the lesson be that all those who don't believe as you have been taught, are doomed to eternal suffering. How arrogant, how stupid and childish and ungodly. I chose the name god'swife because it is such a ludicrous idea. As if there were a god, as if he had a wife. I cannot be god because I am female. The best I can do is marry well. I feel very tender feelings for you right now. I don't wish to shake your faith, but step outside your fence. Travel out to the edge of the wood, go in, find something better for yourself. Read the Gnostic gospels, read the gospel according to Thomas. Go to the desert and confront God. Did you know your Bible, the one you hold in your hands and take to church, was put together by a bunch of greedy, perverted catholic bishops? Think about that. Your sister in Christ.
