OC poetry thread

old thread is dead. give/receive critique.

Idle, grey, oh darkened mind
You want to stray, but cannot find
A thing to claim your fading day
A vault of nothing - vapid waves
Throughout your lofty chamber spill,
Till drowned in emptiness, you fill

Are you bleating? Are you . . .

an and to an andless summer

The grammarian falls of my mind percolated downward somehow reversed.

A freedom in death, y tengo nada. To have nothing to express nothing, its opposite, to express all.

What reverie? What is contained, what is given to the world to express all? Why keep impulses secret?

andless summer is over. it felt closer to listless. un/existent. like being deep in sand below the ocean. like it never was. october now. nothing still. nothing now. now. job still. drained still.

a desperate immediacy that absorbs my being, tension spins so tightly there can only be a jittery lashing out at anyone and everything I can reach into

If there is any way I can return the kindness, please do not hesitate to ask me. In the meantime, I hope you will let me take you to lunch.

Whispers curled off dusty basement bricks.
Hades’s coral lips were soft and nimble.
Persephone pointed out her slender lips.
Hades motioned at her mouth and dimple.
Persephone’s thin lips attempted smiling.
Hades's eyes darted down to her thighs.
Persephone hesitated, fingers twitching.
Hades's words kept their comforting guise.
Persephone grimaced, but her thighs parted.
Hades pointed at her treasure unguarded.
Persephone protested, slipped a finger inside.

I think the disjointed structure suits this poem, actually. It's short enough that it was hard for me to get lost in. If anything, I'd go even further into the "no-structure" camp, and take out the capital letters at the beginning of the lines (except where they're grammatically correct.)

I am totally mesmerised by this poem. It's so fast, it just flew like a spacecraft.
The thing about the lack of punctuation and other stuff, doesn't bother me. Its transience, its boldness, and the reference to the Byzantines give a certain kind of drunkenness, similar to the author's. The I-don't-give-a-damn-about-anything drunkenness. Superb!

I won't repeat the advice already given.
My opinion is that it feels disconnected and the imagery in each verse, while suggestive of beautiful images, feels random because of this.

Don't not take your work seriously and by doing so insulting yourself. Even if you feel like you shouldn't, it doesn't make it more poignant for your readers - if anything it makes them question why they're taking the time in the first place. This is true for poetry AND scientific writing.

How long exactly, does a minute last ?
With haste I dash, gently I grasp,
the fading seconds of the past.

For time is money, now you see
the face of faith might be turning
while little hands fight in the ring.

Ajar doors of tourmaline,
agate bindings on melanin
on my skin call forth the sunder.

the duel is numbing and fast.

Pomegranates sliced in half spill out
their blood-red seeds, while those uncut
conceal their trove in darkness: great
discoveries yet to be made.

But if the red-gold skin appears
desirable, look to the rind:
pale pulp that bears our deepest fears,

the architecture of the mind—
What is mere flesh compared to this?
A fleeting glance, the briefest kiss….

Still, someone must admit the sun
that ripens them…. Their rubies bleed—
A gentle knife-thrust spills the seed
revealed, at last, to everyone.

Inssaisissable, valsant inlassablement,
aux airs légers et estivaux, elle virevolte.
Enlaçant mes pensées d'un désir virulent,
vile séductrice qui n'inspire que révolte.
Transi, obnubilé par cette nymphe nubile,
sans résistance, elle me m;ene sous l'édredon.
À la vue de ses chairs virginales, je jubile,
enflammé de la darder de mon éperon.
Chaste ritournelle qui, sous la chandelle, chancelle,
aux flancs ecchymosés, vifs de voracité.
Violences embrasées et osmose charnelle,
désacralisation de cette blancheur nacrée.
Rites carnassiers, exutoire par sa langue,
éruptant au sein d'une carnation exsangue.
Un second souffle sur des braises anémiques
et ravivant une ardeur qui semblait antique.

If anything good can come from that long lost love, I bet you the only to retrieve it is by giving her the cold-shoulder-treatment.

Three years through countless dating scenes and the one near engagement, can someone care to continue fucking with an ex?

I don't understand it. It's gotten to the point where if I feel like I am giving her anything at all that she wants, I just feel terrible because I know I've been taken advantage of after what she's done.

It seems impossible for me. But hey, thanks for the response.

Here I sit inside my home all day
Wanting to do something with my life, I'm full of dismay
Light shines through and I block it out
Tissues of cum litter the room here and about
Hoping that maybe I'll wake up one day
Never gonna happen if I keep sitting here till I turn gray

Step to step, gone by labyrinthine slip through
brickled paths of suburban silence, soft
and short bursts of breath exhausted
by the palpitations of my rustwork,
winding down this damn long day
while a lit cigarette tipped smoke gently aloft.

Park to pavement, left the blessed grass’s
fortune roots feeding what little life found
us in our final moment, sprouting a shoot
monumental amongst boot-high greenery,
earthed and alone by the iron chassis
fusing ruptures, her and I the sealed ground.

“I think, I think, I dare not dream of dad nor mum,
or therein the birthed Christ the son,
if by chance your marriage bed
whence underneath the cogs divine
its industry, in metered chime
of machinery, a myriad lain in creaking red."

“I wish, I wish, on constellated orbs
once flaring in apricity, to glance
thought away from my dark territories,
the spires and clock towers spreading shadow
unceasing across this enclosed meadow.
A sanctuary divined by you, in
airs of shelter from the greying hue of
raindrops, thick and fast, could hold long against
the storm - O', but endurance bloodies
by the dimming light, and I dread my
fountain may not quench your fears tonight."

“I hear, I hear, the patter of snares
gone marching softly the rooftop bare;
punctas contra punctum with the pounding
of your chest, in tones so low it slips through
the pores or seized as the rattle in your bones."

Just a fragment of a much bigger piece, thoughts?

Paris


To desperate eyes can basest rock,
Seem now an Indian pearl.
Yet brace your soul, ignore life's clock,
Your jewel will Fate unfurl.

A single child does Love bestow;
From Venus: just one gift.
So cast off glasses tinted rose,
And with new vim: Persist!

The sun shines bright in lustful youth,
Yet idle passion fades.
Your pen, Catullus, weeps the truth,
She with her sparrow plays.

Love's first young tryst, it fades to dust,
A jocund childish game.
When they you find, in whom you trust,
Long doubt you'll cast off fain.

But worry not! hearts don't stagnate,
Happ'ly they bear sadness.
From Spartan thrall to Scaean gate,
All souls are bound for Paris.

Actaeon


I’ve found the joy that ancient hunter sought
In leafy grove where chaste Diana bathed.
These burning thighs no hound’s red teeth shall grip,
The fire in me was not unrequited.

Her furtive glance unburdened by vain speech
Was proof enough that souls are born in pairs.
The twilight mist, which memory fails to glimpse,
Contained a force that words would complicate.

To think I nearly passed her silently!
My life to he that bade my trembling knees:
“Get up, approach, no peril need you fear;
Her beauty’s mortal stuff - no danger here.”

-

Now light breaks through our fragile canvas castle
And paints her flesh in ghostly silhouette.
The softest touch of morning dew’s wet kiss
Can’t near describe those innocent young lips.

I watch the leaves drift lazily to rest;
Their shadows scrape along our fabric roof.
Translucent cloth is all we have to keep
Our tangled bliss from verdant jealous eyes.

-

Weep, Actaeon. But ne’er forget the sight.

Patroclus.


In shining bronze with golden hue,
Along dread Ares’ track,
I sent my brother to his doom.
For him, I’d give Troy back.


Dear brother, friend, slow down! remit!
For this I did not know,
My armour, look, it does not fit;
Return it now! don’t go.


Why step upon this bloody path?
Let’s sit beside the sea.
No glory lies at Priam’s hearth,
Just burning olive tree.

Will you follow the rules?
Lest you risk mockery?
Who are you to disrespect
To disrupt and shake
What is greater than you?
What has been done for so long this way?
Though it could be said
That you are great and have the right
Who would say this?

The mind at peace almost wholly
The body throwing constant fits
Cannot sustain a moment of homeostasis
An aura of green light held inside a chasm
Ultimately the green laughs
The grave will provide much relief
Long, long relief

Fuck, girl, you gotta be kidding me
I can't even turn my back and you get all slutty
You mad, bitch, quit being a whore
Worry about you? I won't even trouble

Ever tried to stop being that promiscuous?
Everytime I look at you, you're trying to look ingenuous.
Oh well, seriously, you think you can lie to me?
All them grab your ass and your pussy just constantly.

Come on, fucking dirty? You're sick!
You kiss everyone's ass when they tell to suck their dick.
Would you try and recognize I'm treating you as a person?
Quit that fucking dirty talking and all this dispersion

You can talk all nicely, twerk even better
Is that your Instagram? Fucking attention beggar.
Sweetheart, it's time, ain't you waking up?
All we see in you is a big damn ass to fuck.

It's unbeliavable how you're always up to your slutty stuff,
Believe me when I tell you these guys are fucked up
Actually, really, why don't you go fuck yourself?
Tits or get the fuck, bitch, bother somebody else

stainless steel chafing dish

the wall of rib bones has now
collected overhead. the
stalactites of coagulated
sauce and membrane leaves
no negative space between us.

will the gaseous expansion of
my gut please break
down this insufferable pen.

what was once voluntary has
now turned to a lack of will
force feeding the carnivorous
chow by the casket-load.

hope is all that is left.
for that of another to order
from this devious catering
service. changing their grasp
from me to them.

I will break the compass
for just a spoonfull

Well I wrote it in common metre so I pretty much had to stick to the rhyme scheme. Same for the first out of the three poems I posted (Paris).

Perhaps rhyme isn't considered such good style anymore. Maybe I should stick to blank verse or other similar, non-rhyming metres.

Red-eyed jagged steps
Down a buckling stair,
Heavy black beats
With arms suspended long
(Swing, swing dead)
Longer than necessary,
Long enough, long enough
To reach the phone,
Or trim a bush,
But ill-equipped to clutch
At former lights

parasitic plaguing the mother of control, spatial cravings for a modicum of unbound soul
so force the fire, burn your house and while your soulmate roasts you can think back to the moment when you made the most
of what you thought was right. but not in terms of life you're just a selfish small child with a dream of strife.
but in the midnight hours when you can't drift off and you're bouncing of yourself like a scorpion on a frog
you're going to think back to what you did when you lost all hope and you tried to make it better but you burned your home
and regret is going to eat you because you're weak and alone and if you weren't then you would have kept your soul and roamed.

Hi /lit/, have some fucking tripe written by me.
Each "poem" is separated by equals signs

Lisa gave birth,
to a pinkish pulp, left blue-
with jelly bruises
that taste as good as the
whole milk
she hides her sex behind,
as she slips it back-
into the fridge.

=======

Computer Car, Computer.
I am bored to death.
sitting in your white seats
and spreadsheets that blend my head
as you carry me through

these single letter streets,
Computer Car, oh
Computer.
I noticed my hopes
burning out those
exhaust pipes-
My film reel pupils.


As you splutter out of RAM
reduced to the crawl,
of a cripple,
or a baby
of a man who just couldn't let go.

This blank hell. black garrison.
I wax and wane, my
head shifts through the gap
in my teeth until I
simply cease-


=========

Set of stairs, sort of motion-
a warping ceiling’s view,
amidst the brutal calm, Can be?
These storms. Or can it be.
Wizards of Wizards, Or the monk
that brews ahead- It’s me.

This motion does fine. Willingly to
spawn insight from me.
In defiance of the living damp-
A wood grain in the rain.
The grapple hooked gums
of a wood grain in the rain.

Im just generally negative towards most of the things I create, the teachers in school keep reporting all the work I throw away because I do not like it.

I do not understand most poetry, and it shows. I am generally tired of trying to find what sort of art form suits me and I feel my poems reflect that. They are hardly energetic.

Considering im 18, like most people my age, my sense of self is trying to establish itself, so I personally spend a lot of time looking inwards instead of outwards.
Which is fine when I am drawing a pretty and visually appealing picture, but not so fun when I create a poem and its focused on the little things about my day to day life that no people will find awe inspiring.

I have never been good with language, but for some reason (mainly autism related obsessions) I keep having mad creative outbursts where I desperately want to create poems that people just fucking love and enjoy, which is a feeling i've never felt for any art form. Which is a shame since id rather those feelings be geared towards my talents for visual arts. Rather than poetry, something I am very poor at when held in comparison to everybody else.

I would assume that, naturally at this age, all I want to write is self centered tripe, but as I grow older I will begin to look out into the world more and my "poetry" will benefit.
