CCP,
You know you've arrived when you get hate mail.
I'm gonna email you and share my story.
Jim

You had me there!
You wrote an erotic poem but with a twist.
You painted this picture of lovemaking
and then surprised us with the fact that
it was all a dream.
That is great writing!

lmao I can imagine you at those meetings with the therapist
and thinking how full of shit they were. I went to a therapist
for awhile and when I realized I was providing my own therapy
I stopped. I think what you wrote is cool.
Jim

Words.
What do they really mean?
Is reality what is seems?
I feel so insecure
thanks to you.
You were my whole world,
now we are thru.
I'm left with pieces
to pick up and memories
to leave behind.
Got to hide myself
away, if only to be kind.
Rain falls.
Dreary day.
I am so numb from it all.
What more can I say?
Babe we had it all.
We were on top of the world,
then one day came our fall,
the dying of our world.
It
all
came
crashing
down.
I fell to the ground.
I know I must forget you.
That's a very hard job to do.
Years will pass by
and I will still recall
how you and kissed
as we watched the
autumn leaves fall.
Falling down.
Falling down.
Falling down.
We promised to love forever.
Forever didn't last too long.
Instead of forever
I'm left with eternally
being haunted by you
in my mind. I will
never forget your
beautiful eyes or
the way you smiled
as I sang you love songs.
Words.
What do they mean?
What happens when
they're only words,
and not reality?

You're right that the two poems fit together.
They are both beautiful and I like the dark tones
that both have.

"Never give your love, my friend, unto a foolish heart."
"A selfish heart is trouble, a foolish heart is worse."
Grateful Dead

"You without sin, pick up that stone."
Hootie and the Blowfish

I still can't believe it.
Can't believe just what you said.
How you can put me down
and walk away just blows my mind.
I'm left to deal with,
deal with the feelings.
I'm left to deal with
wondering how you
could be so unkind.
When I first met you
I thought you were an angel.
You came along and rescued me.
You saved me from myself.
Now you've become
a different person.
You want to put
me on a shelf.
The look in your eyes
betrays you love.
They look so empty.
They've been that way
for a long, long time.
You try to blame it
on me but won't have
a part of that.
You're not a victim
of a crime, you're
a victim of your
own mind.
I can only take
so much. I am
human after all.
Baby can't you hear me,
can't you hear me
wnen I call your name?
Is tonight gonna be
the same as the last
one hundred nights?
I refuse to play
a part in this anymore.
I'm having a beer you
can find someone else
to fight.
I'm gonna make the
best of this lonely night.

Sorry to hear about your cousin. Our society has unfortunately
been conditioned to accept violence as a normal thing.
Some people have such bad tempers and are so selfish
that they only care about what they did only when they
get caught and even then they only care about the fact
that they got caught. We have been conditioned to be
selfish, greedy, and to get ahead at any cost.
We need to find our way back to that place that love
and compassion exist. We need to place value on human
life again. Nowadays people do all kinds of shit
to hurt people physically and emotionally because we
have become desensitized. I see here tho on this site
the beginnings of a revolution. I have seen more love
and caring on just say hi than I've seen in real life.

I wish my wife could read this poem. She gets mad and
says the cruellest things. She then expects that I'm
supposed to forget them but they pierce my heart like
daggers. They make me bleed. I constantly tell her
to be careful because they may be the last words
we say to each other and how would you feel then?
She acts like it's no big deal. I sometimes wish
that after she says something mean that I could die
in front of her and then maybe she'd learn her lesson.
Great poem. You are the Edgar Allen Poe of this forum.
The darkness and sadness saturate my screen as I read
your writing.

I burn so red
right now.
I do not know
right now how to
respond to the words
from your poisoned lips.
All I feel,
all I feel is the fire.
I can't believe in
anything right now.
I hear a choir
and the angels sing
a song I can't make out.
I'm all alone.
My heart has no home.
You ate me up and
spit me out.
You acted shocked
as I felt hurt by
every single word you said.
You had to know how
I would feel when you
said I didn't deserve
your love. One thing
I did know for sure,
you were full of shit
when you said I never loved
you. Like darts you throw
you words at me and I'm
supposed be a good boy
and just ignore all your
hate. Hate is your drug
of choice now tell the
truth baby. Hate and
feeling sorry for yourself
give you such a high.
I provide the perfect
excuse for every single
thing you do. Lord knows
I make enough mistakes but
I'm only human. You make
me feel more insecure with
every passing day. My heart
is broken. I cannot write
a decent word tonight.
I'll just sleep on it
and hope tomorrow's a better
day.

I feel it in my body,
every single word.
The look in your eyes
tells me more than I
want to know.
I'm burning inside.
I'm yearning inside.
I'm in need of your touch.
You say I don't deserve
your love. Baby that's
just too much for
this soul of mine
to handle. More than
I can bear. Are you
trying to break my
heart? Congratulations,
you've done your job!
Blame it all on me my love.
Say everything you feel
is my own fault.
If only I were better,
you say. If only life
were different you say.
I hear this every fucking
day and it kills me
little by little.
I will never be
good enough for you.
I'm just gonna have to
face the facts.
I am good enough for
someone baby and I'm
not gonna stop, I'm
not giving up til
I find someone
who says I deserve
to be loved.

Why is it that all you
think about are the bad times?
Why do say things you
know will mess with my mind?
You tell me that I
never loved you at all.
Why do you say this?
You do it to hurt me, that's all.
You sit at our kitchen
table, feel sorry for yourself
and cry. You want a better
life and you're convinced
you will if you say goodbye.
Sometimes reality don't match
your dreams. You either make
the best of it or let it
kill you slowly inside.
I've tried to give you
the best I have to give.
You say it's not good enough.
It's time for me to live.
You say I don't deserve
to be loved because I
fuck up a time for two.
At least I'm not heartless.
What does that say about you?

I don't measure up
to what you want
baby. I don't know
that I ever will.
Does that give you
the right to open
your poisoned lips
and tell me I don't
deserve to be loved?
Why don't you just
put a knife thru
my heart, it would
finish the job faster.
You've made feeling sorry
for yourself into some
kind of new religion.
I don't worship that
God no thanks. I've
got someone better.
His name is Jesus
and he says all we
need is love.
You say you have
plenty of love
and if somehow
I let go of my
humanity you just
might give me a
taste of it.
Blood flows thru
my veins as your
words drive me
insane. Do you
have an ounce of
love and compassion
in you?

I wrote this for my website www.soulsgate.com
but I was so moved to write this that I felt
it needed to be share here too.

No More Lies

No more.
No more lies.
Propaganda, I despise.
You promised compassion.
You were full of shit.
It's time to do something baby,
do something 'bout it.

You said that no child
would get left behind,
again you lied.
Homeless are laying
in the street, they
cannot eat and you don't care.
People can't find a job
cos they've all been
outsourced AND THE
CORPORATIONS BEHIND IT
HAVE ALL BEEN GIVEN
BIG TAX BREAKS.

You reach into the churches.
You rally the masses.
You tell them you must
win in the name of God.
You say you represent
the common man. I have
news for you, George W. Bush,
I LIVE A LIFE THAT YOU
WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

You will never understand
what it is like to believe
a lie and finally have
your eyes opened to
reveal the ugly truth-
OUR LEADERS WERE BORN
WITH SILVER SPOONS IN
THEIR MOUTHS AND PLAYED
WITH GOLDEN RATTLES.
THEY GREW UP AND PLAY
WITH HUMAN LIVES
with their lies.

A Fact- Almost ALL US Presidents are MILLIONAIRES.
Almost all of our congressmen and senators
are MILLIONAIRES too!
The rich run our lives and pretend they care about us
BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF THE STRUGGLES WE GO THRU.

Do you lead or are you lead?
Are you sure that you don't care?
are very appropriate statements even today.
That song could've been written today!
I can see why you like INXS so much.
I only know a couple of their songs
and don't really know their lyrics,
but when I read the lyrics you posted
it shows that the writer of the song
FELT the words he wrote.
I just may check out an INXS CD sometime.
Thanks for posting this.
Jim

You are the best writer of erotic poems
that I've personally run across. Reading that
poem felt alot like I was fucking.

"Just to see what it is like to be me- enter my light"
is my favorite line from this. We all have that side
of darkness about us that we either fear, don't understand,
or don't want to admit.

All I know is ya got ME horny enough reading that!
I was picturing what you wrote in my mind.
You are a great writer. Erotic poetry is so cool!

"Dream on 'til your dream comes true"
