Some Of My Old Poetry

[Capricorn_is_Goat]

I decided to post a bit of my old poems I made around year 2000 or so. People seem to like new material I made, and I've been getting positivity from a member here on poems I've already showed them. I wanted you all to see the chain-flow madness that is my own unfiltered thoughts. (Not NFSW or trigger unfiltered) I mean, but the juxtaposition of it all- it's randomness and like. Long, formal sentences are not my thoughts. I think that's why I have so much trouble typing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONSTITUTION​

upon flower petals

fragrant smells of opium

howling at the moon

dancing on the water



bind me to a chair

with groping gnarled knuckles

apple smelling hair

nectar for a brain

peerless eyeless sockets

eyeless



close your eyes in pity

make mine turn to rivers

a tainted tide of blood

another one of bile

spews from my lips



welts upon my back

make me say “yes”

instead I say “perhaps”



dripping from my nose

a memory of many

a sticky stuck adherent

calloused to a puddle



collecting collection butterflies

moor reedy geysers

thoughtless fable fountains

a cloudless heaven



the daily news
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREEN (SOMEONE I KNOW)​

Underneath the sassafras root

underneath the loneliest



stone

where no one digs...



above the Evermores

where the wild grass grows

Untainted



Like fire

Fire swirl



where stars Wink

I wink back

And send my kisses

(Sigh)

Do they even receive them?



Staring out my window



take a hammer to the window pane

Let in the wind for god sakes



Waking from a dream

emerging from the earth

My sheets are sweaty

Perhaps their just



Wet



In the darkness

Moon flowers bloom Their eyes

Blue eyes

Green



Like razor bladed



Grass Steel



running barefoot

running naked

Running away

Running ....



Catching

Playing

(With?) Myself



Roots become my fingers

The mole knows what to do

Make...

The Weeping Willow discerns...

When to smile

rain melts my face

makes my roots grow Nothing

The answer

No The question

Never gets answered

If only I could...

TrueSpeech



Treespeak



True-false test

(True penny)

Truly

Never and a night

Listen to a finch

Listen to him hop



Listen to him

Stop.



Listen to the siren

Enveloped by the fog



Frost upon my face My fingers are wet



WAKE!

...perhaps that’s my sheets...

Playing on a moor

playing at my door



come in come in

stay away

come in come in

Stay away

Come in...

(Goodbye) Come in.

I never want the moment to end



Beat upon my breast

a merry little tune

A dictionary to remember

A dictionary..... So I can be famous



(I don’t know where to go)





So I can grow (I don’t know what to do)

leaves......

In a pine forest lost



Underneath the sassafras root

Underneath the loneliest



stone

where no one digs...

Except Green



Except Green

Proud of you for posting this, bro.

 

[prnzo x BOOZE-o ka-BEER-o]

post (or link) a w a y - I wouLd read em

I threw a couple poems on here somewhere the other day but I think they buckled under their own weight n disintegrated xD

 

[Capricorn_is_Goat]

i made bunches of 'em. these are just two 'em.

 

[QueenOfLasers]

Warnings that I'm sitting here with a neat rum.

I read Green a few times. The theme of social isolation is interesting, particularly if this is from 2000. Strikes me as a very 2025 piece, you know? Could I ask: is "TrueSpeech" a reference to something specific? Is the reference to the dictionary about a way of becoming famous something similar? Anyway, thanks for posting these. Good Friday night material for us weirdos.

 

[Stingy Perry]

Your work never ceases surprise and amaze me.

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

I'm so proud of you!! I knew people would appriciate your writing if you just keep trying! They're absolutely beautiful, but I'm a bit too burned out to describe my feelings in detail. My advice is make a post like this of your old work every day or every other day. It gives people time to reflect on what you wrote a little at a time and isn't too spammy.

Not to be sound sarcastic, but the answer is yes and no. Sometimes it's just a combo of words that helps me clarify my ideas or experiences the best I can, and sometimes it's symbolism or alliteration for such. It's all my raw interpretation of life. It's how it filters into my Schizophrenic mind, or at least how I interpret it.

I like your style. kind of a superfluous, calculated multi-directional aimlessness to it. also somehow pretty in a profoundly desperate yet reserved obsessive drive underlying it. would certainly not mind seein some more.

purdy dope. do you stiLL bust one of these out every now n then or is that a mentality or ambition you're distanced from these days?

Honestly, people I've shown it too never thought it was that good. About 15 years of people saying that just made me give it up. Took a chance to post it under advice from a few members here. I'm glad you like. Will post more of it in future. I made bunches. Love your last critique. <3

Oh. To help better answer your question @prnzo x BOOZE-o ka-BEER-o :
yeah, I ended up shutting my mind away from it, because people said it was bad. The ties aren't completely severed, however. If I get enough courage, I can probably make some new ones. Thank you for the add. I made a few new "Raps" in my "Final Fantasy 8 Rap" forum. They are nothing like these old poems. Those raps are just word-barf! Haha! It was my first time "rapping". here they are, if you want to see:

Final Fantasy 8 Appreciation Rap

These were my original posts on the "Survey" thread, a few kind folks here seem to like them. I made the first one yesterday, and the one about "Diablos" last night. I thought them both up kind of fast, with the Diablos one being faster. They are both full of FF 8 references. They are...

I don't know what else can I say other than great job! And great poem

Thanks Dunky. Poems in this thread are from earlier in my life- around year 2000, if you didn't get that. Just to clarify.

also, yes it was made around year 2000 during my second attempt at college.

*thinks* 2002, maybe? To try and give you a better time frame.

Interesting, but try to make some rhymes (aa,bb,cc or even ab,ab,cd,cd or something else): okay the content and the inspiration, but also the form and the structure are important. ?

Thanks for the feedback, but it's how my poetry thought flows, so it's basically going to be my original way. And yes, the spaces in between lines, what lines are placed where, what words are paired together, etc. all add significance to how life unfolds before my eyes.

Also @Karnik 2.0: reboot , it's all inspiration from my own life experiences. That can't change at all.

*Finger Snapping a lot*

This is refreshing, after the Ruvacaba's Poetry section in Grim Fandango!
Feels good and relaxing, inspiring.
To think people wanted you to give up, is truly unfair.
But here you are, giving two marvelous examples.
Thank you, Capricorn_is_Goat.
Godspeed! ?_?

*Official Public Notice*

As of this post, I will no longer be posting my poetry of any type or age. I just made the bulletin to let others know, in case they wonder in any aspect. Thanks for the positivity all, it was nice.

Any Mod can close this thread now. I just give up.

 

[MistHunter]

Nooooooooo! D:
This is sad . . .
You are good, Capricorn_is_Goat . . .
Such a lost potential ": (

ENTRY 6


i.

searching for a haystack

inside a bin of needles

to reach down further

what would I find



not even y2=2px

is perfect



oh

something must be easy

if so it is useless

or else is disregarded

as mundane



the self

an answer looking

at things

(to which I never know the words)

for inspiration



hope perhaps

sometimes never

never ending



only the clock keeps a steady beat



ii.

Saliva dripping smiles

obsessing

obsessing

obsessing



nothing



iii.

Ha

while my back is turned

who am I?



(who do I think I am?)

A caravan of cogitate

I am no las caux

I am no model auxiliary



auctioned

gem

a diamond in the rough perhaps



a geometric fractal

I am no one’s paradigm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DANDELION


i am beside the red rose

steadfast

elegant

popular

wet

vanity

is a bitch



my only release

regression



slowly

slowly

slowly



to the scene of the crime
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NULL BROOCH


I am a forbidden signet

a midnight stone

in a nightmare river

draining



I am a holy leviathan

tearing with viable certainty

infecting

undeniable

(doing the right thing)



I am a null brooch

sinking secretly

through layers of earth

decomposing



I am an oversold tome

feeding new life

while Gaia waits

while Gaia sleeps
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that's it for tonight folks. I have one other block of actually completed poetry I will post (hopefully) soon, and then I have a whole lot of that are considered "works in progress".

Since ppl have been asking for "new" stuff as well, after my next block of finished older ones, I'll start reworking the newer stuff which goes from about 2013 onward. Probably not new by time standards, but new by my standards, and all of it is mostly done. So I will still have that original intention associated with it, once completely finished.

Well, I hope you enjoyed these 3. All of my old stuff all ran around a few themes. (Prolly the new stuff will too. haha!) Until next time poetry lovers, Stay thirsty!

TY @DunkeyKong I'm glad you like them. You and @MistHunter seem to be my loudest poetry fans. It's much appreciated. Keeps me wanting to post them. :)

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

Beautiful as always. Your use of repetition really adds a sense of unease, like the narrator is barely keeping it together...it kind of breaks my heart that that might have been the case for you at one time.
