Sex, Blood and Marmalade

[harraser]

Sex, Blood and Marmalade...

Its not hard to admit anymore,
I feel a weakness pulling me down
Repeating this cycle of indulgence ashamed.
Empty glasses
And empty sex
Fill empty hours
For and empty man.
Im told that i should care...

....one day we'll dance here, surrounded by flames
As the black ocean rolls higher onto the sand
And lighthouses wink and collapse in the distance.
Torn open, the sky will scream and drop tears and blood onto our faces
And i'll wrap my arms around you, and kiss you with my eyes open
Then we'll both laugh too hard as the earth opens up and swallows us whole...

....looking to the sky
I follow the path of an aeroplane with my eyes,
Making wishes that oneday may come true.
I exhale as i rise,
Or maybe i sigh,
And head to fill more empty hours
With empty equations
And failed distractions.

I do care.

I do.

Then we'll both laugh too hard as the earth opens up and swallows us whole...

That's some very nice imagery there.

Really like this piece harraser!

has,
I don't have to tell you what I'm thinking...
But these ups and downs in life roll off your fingers on to this key board oh so well. Expressioning emotions that I can't find.

Muah

I exhale as i rise,
Or maybe i sigh,
And head to fill more empty hours
With empty equations
And failed distractions.

Excellent piece man, i really really enjoyed this piece.

*hugs*, its sad to know someone else is somehow feeling empty... we go through our lives trying to satisfy ourselves, yet still feel empty...8(

Keep saying to yourself you do care, because it really does make a difference, whenever you have any doubts, say in your head "i do care, i do care", and it somehow makes u think it is true, once u have drilled it in so much.

Its happened with me before, a guy fucked me over, and the next time i was at the same party/weekend away that he was there, i kept saying in my head "i dont care, i dont care", (when really of course i did, but it is the BEST way of getting through something...), and it workd

I love the way you have used very visually descriptive emotive words in this piece... keep it up man

Speaking of which, I am running low on beans and marmelade.

I want to quote this whole poem...

Its not hard to admit anymore,
I feel a weakness pulling me down
Repeating this cycle of indulgence ashamed.
Empty glasses
And empty sex
Fill empty hours
For and empty man.
Im told that i should care...

I relate to this all to well. So many times I sit and think how empty i am at where and who i am with. That i need a change, but I always try to change the things that I shouldn't. That my relationship isn't what I want. The conclusion I have always come to is that the emptiness isn't within the things around me or the person in my life, but within myself.

....looking to the sky
I follow the path of an aeroplane with my eyes,
Making wishes that oneday may come true.
I exhale as i rise,
Or maybe i sigh,
And head to fill more empty hours
With empty equations
And failed distractions.

Perfectly written...

I do care.

I do.

We all care....and not one ounce of that statement could we control

Beautiful....absolutely stunning

it is alright if I print this out and hang it in my office?

*snuggles...mwah* emptiness is something im all to familiar with. it has a bad habit of creeping in and digging its heels in.

very descriptive and well written babe.

There are people whose words give me comfort in the hours I should be sleeping.

You are one of them ant.

Nice piece!

I like this stanza very much:

....one day we'll dance here, surrounded by flames
As the black ocean rolls higher onto the sand
And lighthouses wink and collapse in the distance.
Torn open, the sky will scream and drop tears and blood onto our faces
And i'll wrap my arms around you, and kiss you with my eyes open
Then we'll both laugh too hard as the earth opens up and swallows us whole...

It's a real flight of the imagination, dream logic with potent imagery, and there's a kind of melodrama to it, but this is offset by last line, with its laughter and dreamlike closure.

There's nothing I can say, that hasn't already been said!
Great job!

And it's oh so, so nice to see 'the crew' posting.
It's been so long since I saw alot of you.

Hi!!! :::waves madly:::

^ I know what you mean. I miss so many of the old posters. Ant is no exception. These days he's a man with a plan. A circus plan.
