Trickery

The fallen beast
lays hiding.

Tricksy and false,
the quiet beast lies
waiting.

Tricked to believe
a false injury,
the beast lies
waiting.

The poor, helpless prey
doesn't see the trick
until
the sneaky beast
attacks in anticipation.

Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping beauty,
her soul long gone;
Sleeping Beauty
was left alone.

Mistaken for dead,
she was left forgotten;
mistaken for dead,
passed by lesser men.

Quietly sleeping,
Beauty was stolen;
quietly sleeping,
her being was shaken.

Never to awake,
Sleeping Beauty with stay,
never to awake,
she'll never see the day.

Free Association Writing

So here's what happened. I decided that I would try out Freud's idea of free association writing. Well, it came out pretty interesting and fairly intense, but a lot of it was poetry of sorts. It was very thought provoking to me and maybe you'll find it the same. So I have decided that I will share a portion of it with you. I've changed the spelling errors but other than that I'm typing it exactly as I wrote it.

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

invisible motion to be lost in thought of great artistic memory yet forgotten by bittersweet love to turn to greed anger and hate

what comes now is as impassive as dark night always watching but never seeing never believing tragedy

what lies in words but can't be found might as well drown as the poet speaks literal words of death to be forgotten once more on tragic memory

what of me do you seek? a lost tangle of lies and deceit

better to end up dead than in someone else's bed

so hurt burned charred disgraced but never again to win a race

you'll never know never feel never see what it is to make me me

these cuts that grow blood will bring new life for only life can come from death only death from life

do you like what you see? this tragic mystery on love's death bed? heart grew cold as stone when left alone. can't love, can't breathe can't feel and there's nothing left to feel

you're dead now and you can feel it the empty tears of nothing froze you, too too long I've lived too long I've died and never been seen by you nor I I'm broken beyond repair

maybe he can see that

do you know? i know you feel something isn't right. maybe drugs or parasites

he's being eaten alive from the inside and we both know he'll never survive without your or I

but he lies hurts us breaks us makes us cold again and never can we be the same again

love him we do, we'll never stop but trust is yet a different thing for that can easily pass

don't read into the words as literal truth but find the secrets written behind. awaken and read and you will see what is left of you and me.

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

Again, that's only a piece of what I wrote. It came out pretty interesting to me so I decided it was worth sharing. =]
