Australian A resurgent 20 year old trying to rediscover a love of poetry.
What if, what may Who cannot avoid the sway. Of words gone past and futures dark, All fall be nay marked. Concubine of cautious connivers, You all have nought to leave. For in this utter dance you care to fake, You have yet learnt to believe So on again off again, This is the last you'll hear of me. Just dance your sweet little steps, And ignore my fiddle-de-dee.

Nonsense
Pulsing dance light, Blaring in the face of all that drink it in Adventures and shenanigianry abound; Finding hearty new compatriots amongst the fellow inebriated All that is left of memory is pleasant fuzz, A sense of a truely teenage experience glowing fufiled The flattened grass may be mangled beyond belief, sacrificed to the beat, But oh, what a time to be alive

Afters
Roll on, from the dusty annals of recent history Move on, from the cramped expectations of the modern age Live on, from the collapsing of youthful expresionism in the face of a cynical world' Move up, from your designated station Crouch down, beneath the flickering lights of blank popularism Stand tall, in the face of all that expects you to cower Bow low, in respect to those who have had the courage to create the path less traveled And never, never, nevermore; take life for granted

Mantra
Cracks run through you, doubt has overtaken; in a blighted show of this modern world Faith, no longer enough for those with razor minds, 'though all of us make a leap at some bedeviled stage For life, 'tis not knowable in its entirety One needs to opinionate themselves to a world view, slick reasoning giving way to crunchy ideas that rot the soul A faction; to alleviate lonliness' in dogma In this age of logic We have lost our heart

Rust of Chrome
Disassociating from life A self-assured little leaf, Adrift upon the dry winds of doubt Never to land, or to be landed upon in turn For what view is old, May yet be born again Through experience Through rationál Through the ever twisting enigma of lifes currents For what is the finish, without the journey For life does not have a meaning Besides the one we give it

Solipsistic Tendencies
Cold blood and ice-cream cones, love never felt quite so daft For when our time is up, there is naught to do but laugh

Untitled
Repetition lessens the impact; I've seen it all before Your tears may glimmer in the light But they draw no reflection in my heart Sometimes I think of what you used to mean A dazzling girl, full of fire But now you are pettiness incarnate, drawing something less than nothing on my emotions subtle chords So sing your sad tune all you like little birdy For your song has lost its meaning

Drain
Words flowing from my mouth like liquid mercury Coiling, and slithering through the air Coalescing into the minds of others As notions of charisma Speech becomes a means to an end A tool, to be used for gain To control; to chain the individual with emotive language To subvert with honeyed syllables No longer is the master wordsmith an artist But a con-man

Language
Cult popularism overtakes my brain Conformity rushing unwillingly, stiflingly, down my throat The literature of the mind taken from me By my own devices The lure of the cliched mass' is oblivion Fufillment of an expected mold Individuality of thought drains away May my overthinking of all be lost In this teenage stereotype
