ooooh I like very much. ;)

 

Welcome to the Board!!

 

Holly :)

so many artistic people, i love it :)

how 'bout poems about coldplay? I'll try a little freestyle off the top of the head about 16/4/03 e.c. i went to:

 

Oh, the girls in the front want "shiver,"

so I hear. They're draped in gossamers

that the piano threads, the lights all shimmer

and the singer's perched in his web.

The girls cry "shiver,"

but the singer

plays something else instead.

can i butt in? :) I love poetry, have been "attempting" :oops: it for a few years now, this is one I wrote yesterday:

 

I am pen run over your pages,

blue streams between the lines

I cross to be with you;

contours raised above

the blank space between us.

 

I am a bootleg,

with songs for you,

recorded long ago

from pirate stations.

Light a candle, watch the rain,

listen to the crackled end.

Do not pay for me,

though I have a price.

Copy me,

I am unprotected.

 

cya around, Greg

 

very very very nice poem....

*sitting ovation*.. :o :D ..ahaha

 

but do post another one..

thanks very much! I've got 100s and 100s so i'll post a few more maybe...just did a little one about cp, hope you like it :)

hey greg..do post all of them...I'll definitely read them..

me too ;)

Pick me out from beneath the thorns

Please hearing me crying out for your touch

My throat is dry and aching

Hear before I lose my voice

Pick me out from beneath the thorns

Please inhale my beautiful aroma

Let it left all your fears and burdens away

Pick me out from beneath the thorns

Before the rain drowns in its anger

Before the sun buns me up from his lust

Before the ants and wondering kittens do away with me

Pick me out from beneath the thorns

For I have been waiting ah many years for you

My coldplay poem....

________

 

I close my eyes

Let the music kiss my soul

I hear his voice high above my sea of thoughts

Drowning out the breaking of their waves

"In my place"....he's in my place

Weaving the perfect web for me to rest...

I fall back gently gliding on his every word..

His voice a melody soo sweet and soothing...

His eyes loose in their blueness..

I love it..

No greater feeling in the world..

(Its coldplay on the stereo)....... :shrug:

Both very cool! Some great lines in that 1st one esp. "Pick me out from beneath the thorns" nice, very nice and I love the line "Before the ants and wondering kittens do away with me" Quirky, but in a good way :-D Quirky appeals to me...ah more spiderweb themes! Seems popular for cp poems :D Bonus points for mentioning In My Place, my fave off of AROBTTH :)

I'll try another one on the spot, here goes:

 

rocking

pendulum

of skin and bone,

the sound of clocks

pulse in the cabinet

that holds the crowd

in place. The springs

are coiled tight

around their hearts

and the sound of its beat

is the soundtrack

of the night

 

I'll post some other poems later

-Greg

ahaha..thanks dude...

we'll soon have battle of the coldplay poems...ahaha :roll: :D

Yeah, the more the merrier, there should be a whole forum dedicated to it :D

Sea of bodies all moving together

Moving with every strum of the guitar

Every beat of the drum

In time with every hum

Surging forward they move

All keeping in the rhymthic groove

Each feeding from each others energy

Drops of sweat, drops of tears squuezed from the words of the songs...all in sincerity..

All on a certain high

Sway as time slowly ticks by

Shaking out their demons they are

Their hearts no longer bound behind that bar

Their mood free and mellow

All enjoying their state of "Yellow"..

 

:shrug:

A part of me died today

And although Ive changed

I want to feel the same

About everything

 

A part of me died today

But would still be alive

If I hadn't realised

Id live life all over again

To feel the same

 

As the mud washes away

From where I used to play

I feel a void that years have left

Things will never be the same

 

I looked at that place

And I'd trade now for those days

And I'd do anything else

Just to feel the same

 

Fond fate I blame.

uhhh...AWESOME :!:

I wrote your name in the sky,

but the wind blew it away.

I wrote your name in the sand,

but the waves washed it away.

i wrote your name in my heart,

and forever it will stay!!

 

 

bit cheesy i know but oh well

Excellent, good to see such artistry :D Ok this is one of my older ones, exuse the length..I'm fond of it because it's mostly direct and a little quirky/unusual

I call it Minutes From A Curious Allure

Happy reading, enjoy...

 

I practice my look in the mirror, that long double take

when i’ll catch the pursing of those ruby lips but see

the solvency of your eyes- pockets of teal sunken in the pale-

and wonder if there lies a lonely girl, well heeled, but girlish still.

I imagine you a taut petiole plucked from the pumice of night,

twisting on a parquet floor at a ball, or a coiled honeysuckle

waiting for the season to begin. Though even if it never does

i’ll still willfully submerge myself in the carbon aftertaste

of your rosewater breath should you decide upon a garage entombment,

slumped in that old chrome lined glass casket on wheels clad

with rust and varicolored panels. You see for years i’ve watched,

 

from a carefully measured distance, you welcome crimson blisters

onto tired feet and splice them on rose thorns while running barefoot

through the gardens, forcing nervous laughter each time pretty girls

you call friends wrap their fingers in barbed wire then pay you

backhanded compliments. Last week’s gauzes still hang from the lines,

soaking in the rain. Fat droplets off the cloths usher you into adulthood,

reddening the grass. Maybe it would be the methyl sting behind my eyes,

your snake-like thighs framed in the leather interior, or a toxic halo

set above you, but something would make me gaze at the limestone

plane of your face and those involute tendrils hung from its rafters

as we arrive late for the wrecking ball so early in the twilight.

hey thats good!! i would love to read more of your work..i can show u some of mine too! :D

ok more coldplay action...

 

Sing it out now

Wrap it in strands of candy floss

Feed me, I need a little sugar

I want candy coated pills

Of you to take when I get blue

And when the fever strikes me Yellow

 

Sing it back now

Drink it in like ruby wine

Seeps into the veins

Washes over the mind

Undulates in waves

You liked that? I kinda wrote it on the spot, lemme try another...

 

With a kiss at midnight

We'll slide through the crowd

You'll smile while hiding

I can see you now

 

Im already awake

I can see youre face

You're trying to hide

Why?

 

Crying under the covers

I thought that was a smile

I dont need another

But I cant help but think of her

 

With a kiss at midnight

Started the end

Im looking at you, looking at me

Like our reflection of scum

What else can we be

*sigh* that was good :)
