i'm working on something called "horns without a halo" but wtf rhymes with "halo"?

"on a fast traack going slow" down stream against the flow" to show what i did not know
i don't don't know what rimes with halo,
but i bet there is something hidden under the snow.
does it matter how deep you know
to dig for your halo ?

haha. okay. i've got an idea...

Horns Without a Halo
********************
I'm quick and I'm cunning
You'll never ever catch me
I'm innocent, you think
But you'll never ever tame me

I'm the devil on your shoulder
I'm the trick stuck up your sleeve
I'm a shadow apparition
Keeping you in a ease

The greatest trick the devil pulled
Was to make the world believe
His existent was a figment
Of an imaginary sneeze

I'm cold and I'm heartless
I'll stomp you into the ground
But before you can put a finger on it
I disappear without a trace or sound

They say to keep your friends close
And your enemies under a closer eye
I'll rip you off, you'll beg for more
You can never say goodbye

Some angels have wings
Some roses do survive the snow
But don't let these looks deceive
I've got horns without a halo

great flow

Waking Up
*********
The morning stillness
The dampness in the air
Tickles the surface of my skin
And wraps me in anticipation
A new day
A new dawn
Waking up slowly
Undressing the layers of sleep
That cling to my eyelids
Like layers of lace
That adorn a young girl's dress
Wafting slowly
To the floor
Each breath
Vitalizing my soul
And reminding me
The reasons
To treasure each day
Each moment
Each deliciously crisp
Sweet
Fresh
Breath
That I take
And my lungs warm
And my heart flourishes
And as the light enters
The portals of my being
I smile
And I awake.

That's hot! ^^

Your love is my kryptonite
It's the only thing that I can't fight
This time, I've come armed with Sex as my weapon
And I'm gonna kill you tonight...

Death by sex? Mmm, well, there are worse ways to go I suppose.

I thought is was great, very hot!

Hey, if I keep it up, I'll have an entire poem! Haha... I've got so many incomplete verses.

chasing my shadow
jumping morphing
into my worst fears
not wanting a warm touch
never have felt
scared of it
hiding inside the world
create mirrages of torture
the bleeding the beating
the hurt the love
screams of joy
give me your hand
turn me into sand
become the world

I am curious, was this directed as a response to something that I wrote? Or did you post it in the wrong thread? It's a nice poem, just slightly misplaced.

maybe work out a melody on the words and the flow of the poem and not make a melody and work the words in to it.

i have little experience in this so i guess some one else might give better comment on it.

just make it what comes out of it
and listen to it,
put it down take another make something new and see what happens
then you pick up what you made first and see if you have learned something new in the latter and listen again before trying to "fix" it

maybe that is the music you make and well you won't hear me complaining about a portiamorylin thing

found some old stuff.

The Language of Trees
**************
the breath of a breeze
blushing my cheek
stroking my hair
embracing me
love shed like leaves
fallen on the floor
stepped upon
unnoticed by all but me
blossoms upon blossoms
ever so rare
but i've never missed a single one

and they say that trees are inanimate
so let them believe
that you are
my tree is lonely...

share my life
tell me your wisdom
while I share my misery
sluggish in your shade
supported by your strength
always there

share my life
tell me your wisdom
while I share my misery
sluggish in your shade
supported by your strength
always there

i struggle to remember if the repetition of that last verse was on purpose?

i dunno. i don't remember why the repetition. the "purpose" may have been a simple glitch in cut and paste, but i decided i like it so i've kept it.

ADD
***
Attention span running off like
The wind blows and I'm spun around
The brreze feels nice this time of year
I listen to the chirping birds
It quells my frazzled nerves

What was I saying? I don't quite care
For some hot summer fun and ice cold
Swim in the lake, a walk in the park
The fireflies come out after it gets

Trying to remembering
Something on the tip of my
Head out to run some laps on the track
Can't seem to ever find my way back.

A New World Order
**********
I shudder
At the sound of their footsteps
My heart quickens
And my mind dims
In near recollection
Of some words you said to me once
I'd rather go out on my feet
You promised you'd kill me
But faltered at the moment of truth

And now I lay down
A broken spirit
Waiting to rise
I shall have my revenge
In this life or next

It seemed so many eons ago
That we tossed and turned
And held each other
In rage and in passion
You kissed me
Right behind my ear
And you whispered your undying love
The love that held me prisoner
In the shadow of your fear

I said I would not go quietly
And yet I've been silenced
By all the years of scraping by
Beaten to a pulp
Callus on my knees
Darkened eyes that plead

Where are you now
And would you recognize
The light that shone so brightly once
I never did see it
Ever, not even once

Where are you now
With your empty promises?
*******

Devoid (work in progress)
*****
Devoid of passion, devoid of pain
The constant silence drives me insane

Devoid of sadness, devoid of grief
I sold myself and donned your beliefs

Devoid of consciousness, devoid of shame
I am left here without a name

Devoid of feeling, devoid of strife
I search for meaning in my life

How can this be when you were here
I was stricken and paralyzed by fear
And now that you're gone I just can't feel
And everything around me seems surreal
I want to rip open my chest and tear out my heart
To feel anything at all; anything at all I've been numb since we've been apart
