Dear Death,
I'm sorry I could not meet you yesterday,
I was busy, things got in the way.
It was looking promissing then, well,
the heart attack didn't happen
then things just sort of went to hell.
The neighbours cat got stuck up a tree,
I know it sounds like I'm making excuses,
but the truth is there was only me.
And there were other things, not just that.
I would not have been able to ring an ambulance
****** mobile phone, the battery was flat.
I stood you up, Death, but I can't be there,
at everybodies beck and ****** call,
the wife needed me to drive her to the mall.
Look Death why don't we try again next year,
I'm not going anywhere, I mean I'll still be here.

This is a letter I've been meaning to get around to.
JL Jan 2012
Son, do you know why I pulled you over
Because I noticed that your lungs collapsed
And you were choking begging pleading for
one single breath
So enjoy the air while you got it...
Go ahead take a moment
For a good deep breath
Feel that clean country air just tickling your insides

Son, do you know why I pulled you outta class?
Cause your bein a *****
Every time we try to bring up a good topic
you start crying
******, *******, mutation, abortion, cloning, ******, violence, masochism
Stop bein a ***** boy, everybodies daddy gets drunk and beats them at night

Son, you know why I'm not letting into heaven?
Because you are a pretentious selfish ****

Everybody watchs every instant
I try to stay jubilant
I try to stay suttle
Everybodies watching me
Im all over tv
I walk into the store
I cant go anywhere anymore
No more
I ran across the train tracks
I dont wanna be forgotten
But not like this
I dont like this attention
Want a new face
They say i show enough
What kind of saying is this
What kind of game is this
That tv show has me on it
Im on everything
Im on everything
I think i see something
I think i see something
Through my windows
I cant go anywhere
Everybody watchs every instant
I try to stay jubilant
I try to stay suttle
Everybodies watching me
Im all over tv
I walk into the store
I cant go anywhere anymore
tribute to a star a scoucer through and through

everybodies friend that every body knew

she entertained us all with her singing voice

everybodies favourite everybodys choice.



with her ginger hair she gave our hearts a glow

suprise suprise and blind date she really made the show

now cillas past away but in our hearts will stay

she his watching over us every single day
Gimme a funky bassline
Slap that thing like it stole your money
Bring in the sax just right
Get on the floor and bring a honey
Cause we got

Music flowin'
******* blowin,
Everybodies vibin
With the love they're showin

Take your hats off to the band
and give them the respect to dance
When you hear that funky music
Cause It might be your last chance

So get up, down,
round and round
Make a noise complaint out of this town
So get up, down
round and round,
got kick drums by the pound,
So get up, down,
Round and round
Rock this place, to the ground!
Oh, let me give it to ya

Guitars soundin' real real clean,
Good God almighty, it's a party scene
I couldn't find this in my dreams
Let's rip this house down at the seams!

So get up, down,
round and round
Make a noise complaint out of this town
So get up, down
round and round,
got kick drums by the pound,
So get up, down,
Round and round
Rock this place, to the ground!
Oh, let me give it to ya
The Dedpoet Jan 2016
The days can raise colorless
Born among mysterious everybodies,
The Sad Ones carry shreds of darkness
With them tangled in the fringes
Of their lives.
They cannot drag another down,
They give happiness where
None can be taken,
They can illuminate
The saddest people and take
Their pain like an offering.
They walk among the souls
With silent faces and drowsy
Existence.
The Sad Ones
Disperse into the Winters' depths
Where winter honors grey days
And starless nights.
From their secrets or pains
Come a gathered endurance
And can illuminate with
A wisdom of regret and sorrow,
Like colored plumes of dark flora
They roam spinkled among
The masses to bring the bright side
Of things they know nothing of.

They have wings,
The Sad Ones do,
Gentle but firm wings gilded
In murmured words never spoken,
Winds of the lovers never taken,
Watching moonrises
Over sighing waves.
Their home is a lonely peak
Where clouds sit on mountains
And forever remain,
There they reflect on the sadness
Of most kisses and symbolic love.
And they are forgotten when
The people encounter them,
Though misery loves
A little company, the others do not
Stay in the dark.

The Sad Ones,
They are dreams forgotten,
A smile returning,
The bring about the light for others
In their dark lonesome hearts,
They are hidden away like memory,

And they keep other smiling
As they sigh above the moonlit waves
Sighing in the darkness.
Lilly Gibbons Dec 2014
What's out there but a sheet, waiting for new notes.
A stave with a treble clef, no rhythm yet sewed.

Brave movements burning from behind the walls,
Lyric upon lyric, spinning towards a greater cause.

All that is waiting to be plucked into life,
A melancholic tune creating such instant delight.

What's out there but snapshots of everybodies song,
Listen to the words telling you to where you belong.

A first step,a page turner, a warm embrace,
All out there, the treasure for you to chase.

What's out there but a person that you don't yet know.
They will touch you, might hurt you but help you to grow.

These,  cats are cadavers,
I discard em like candy wrappers,
For tryna come at me backwards,
Everybodies got a dream and I'm saddened that most of em never happen,
I really, want success but you can't see it in my actions,
Im about to take some steps get off my *** and stop relaxing, bowl packing and bein stagnant,
Become a man, grow some nuts and get to crackin,
Its time to make something happen
Stop talking about the rappin and start being about the rapping,
I wanna embrace my destiny
Change the game wit my team next to me,
As long as I got the music pain will never get the best of me,
put myself inside the work until there's nothing physically left of me,
Spend money on my momma till there's nothing in the bank thats left for me,
This is not done and I'm not that happy with it lol
if we could love each other how nice the world would be
everybody happy all in harmony
a world so full of love no wars or poverty
united hand in hand where everybodies free
a place so full happiness for all the world to share
we could live in peace to show the world we care.

here's the thing.....
no one has chained
you to the chair,
put your head
in a vice,
glued your eyes open,
turned on the computer
and is forcing you
to read this poem.....

or indeed any one elses
work either.....

if you don't like my work ....move on
if you find everybodies
work sub par.....
consider this revealation
it might be you....
not the forum.....
that has an issue...

words and the artistic placement of them.....
is or at least should be an activity open to all.
not just the elite....
i am of the... live and let live,
school of writing.....
we all start writing,
from the bottom step.....
and we all have posted work
that may have been roughly
crafted....
indeed i have and on ocassion it has trended......
whilst the work i spend time
and love crafting gets a smattering of reads....that's
a poet's lot.....
or at least this poet.
and we all know....
that no matter
which site we post our work....
there are issues
we live in an imperfect world.....
so let's be kind and generous
even when giving constructive cristicism.....
heh!
just a venting.......
no offense intended.
Love In Hiding Dec 2016
cannot create a thing anymore
threaded from thoughts the spool has been used to the very last,
do you see?
i have became what i hated
gray areas and words faded.
No truths and dead lies on paper,
I read between lines, but
my words have become
nothing but everybodies style.
I wanna reach and contain it,
Remember / obtain it.
Sitting here with the timekeepers
hand on my fingertips,
do you know what i mean?
of course you don't /
something dies / and i cant explain what i need.
all lines included in winters zine 2016
in a place called happy land so very far away
everybodys happy every single day
there is lots to do in this happy place
there are always smiles on everybodies face

there is lots to do to pass the time away
lots and lots of fun with lots of games to play
theres never any tears no ones ever sad
always very happy always very glad.

a very special place where life is always free
happy and content the way that life should be

A greater cause,
means a better life.
Or atleast so they voice.
But how do you fight for what is right;
when all you dispose of is knife?

I ask myself who is my greatest enemy?
Is it me, myslef, or I?
Mybe all I need is a remedy.
To make all the wrong rectify.

I know that all of what I am capabe of holding is a weapon.
But how do you use such a thing when you can't tell the difference between your foe and your allies?
All I see are demons who seem to have come from the heart of heaven.
But afetr all, isn't that everybodies homeland. Even the devil knows all of its alleys.

But mybe weapons as deadly as they can be,
are the more or less something like you and me.
Mybe they weren't found for the unique cause of killing.
Pedro Reyes made weapon in art fullfilling.

What was war's greatest tool.
Has now become harmony's moor.
What was used in fights caused by sheer unreason.
Has now brought all people even.

All those cries,
all those tries.
And I still can't realize:
what on earth can possibly be my cause.
Pedro Reyes is a mexican artist who's most famous for making musical instruments out of weapons

Just smile, force it through.
It's O.K. that you're
teary-eyed and nobody
really understands you.

Just smile, please the crowd.
Follow their ways and fit in -
it's better than being left out.

Just smile, learn to pretend.
Embrace everybodies hate
and make your enemies
your friends.

Just smile, lose your soul.
Sell yourself out and
let them have all the control.

Just smile, **** yourself.
Death is sweet and gentle,
living with this fake smile
is hell.

Just smile.
**** yourself.

where do you think your pink hair
and piercings fit
into fashions plagiaristic style
or lack of it
tattoos so loud and bountiful
you make the yakuza look ****
out is the new in
alt is so alt

Love In Hiding Dec 2016
had frozen.

feeling abaded.

troubles rumbled quacks under surface  Hidden.

And so peak inside, dreams set to the side. Met you in a strange time and then things began to collide.

feeling jaded.
and now my fingers are cold,
thoughts are broken in pieces,
i worked on a habit
while she worked on her talent.

voice mail is silent and messanges never returned soon became the monster whove hurt me in return

return favors im the wrong hands
everybodies blinded on the right side.
i like to watch the swans swimming on the lake

i take out my camera and a photo take

such a lovely bird with elegance and grace

always brings a smile to everybodies  face.


with his lovely feathers beautiful and white

fills your heart with joy brings you such delight.

a creature of the realm as royal as can be

swimming on the lake for all the world to see
Paul Donnell Dec 2016
I feel so mac and cheesy
Smokin ciggarettes and wheezy
I forget that im a werido
I **** the flow.
Well
Oh come on
yes i know
that i disurpt everybodies flow
walk in a room talk a bit
and try to find a place to sit
Awkward and shaking all my leaves stirring up the honey bees i feel my tounge is being stung
That was an awkward hug..
****
But give me a skateboard and a hill ill bounce to music and just chill
Wave my arms i ride the waves
Gravity pullin my way
the wind it flows in funny ways
I feel at peace.
Hit the bottom silde and stop
Awkward stuff it catches up.

gina’s first ring was called britton which means we can always be the love. it had a melt. a melt is a sweet loop. lionheart made it with all his love for gina. it was everybodies favourite ring for 4000 years.

excaliber was david’s favourite sword. it was made in china by ian. he used the magic of merlin to make it. it is buried deep under london tower. it is under broadwalk but is buried two miles deep. it took 3 years to bury excaliber. but david said we must. to keep the country safe.

dora na found the secret entrance at the tower and the sword. his name now is trevor nelson. he is a good man and will return the sword to lionheart.

lancelot brought the sword to david. david gave him garter of the night. his loyalty was always strong.

Sometimes I go for so long outside the window I forget the mannerisms of a human race, and what its like to be in a home, to be in my skin
Rather than miles outside of myself hearing and living off everybodies small everythings rather than tending to my own everything
Sometimes I really do leave myself and when I get back, only when im back in my veins do I find the meaning in all of you
Because by then I have found the meaning in all of me
When im missing from my tendons nail a sign to me reading my buisness hours
When all I can find is the meaningless in your meaning tape my ears shut and feed me to the tongues of my world
His name, her name, their names should be on speed dial
Sometimes all I hear is from the outside of an everything that brandishes nothing to me and god when this happens shove me back in to the lining of my skin
It tears at me, everything that somehow always manages to leave this ribcage
Everything that leaves to listen comes back bleeding and feeling like something is missing,
Missing from all of you
But there is nothing missing in your words, they just hold nothing for me, I am just missing a part of me.
So strap me to myself and send my gods with their wars from my speed dial to cement me back into my bones with their saliva
***** me in with teeth
everyone is different but love it is the same
no matter who you are no matter what your name
the feelings are the same in each and every race
in everybodies life love it has its place.

all across the universe love is everywhere
no matter who you are love is always there
a gift from up above that belongs to you
for each and everyone to last your whole life through
i just lost a friend who meant the world to me
best friend in the world there could ever be
we had lots of fun passing time away
sitting in the  yard on a sunny day

we had lot of laughs with a joke or two
everybodies friend always there for you
she would make you laugh  if you feeling down
make you smile again take away the frown

then the angels came took my friend away
to heaven up above where the angels stay
one day i will see her when im an angel to
having fun once more like we used to do
not to long to go till happiness begins
that time of the year when everybody wins
christmas time once more when we all unite
no matter what the race weather black or white

everybodies equal christmas we all share
time for peace on earth each and every where
lots of happy children playing in the snow
with there smiling faces that give your heart aglow

time for celebration with presents by the score
children so excited christmas time once more
time for happiness no matter the race
christmas is for everyone in each and everyplace

I will not
Hide my shame
I cannot
Mend your scars
I will not
Actively ignore
Or discard

My hatred
For what we’ve become
Give me the gun
I’ll shoot the flag in half
And sew it back together

We can
Not blame the hate
On the other side
If we
Don’t look at ourselves
(And) Realize
That we’re all to blame
(We’re all to blame)
No ones
A special snowflake

Flames of the end shine endlessly
We’re all to blame to blame

I hate
Everyone equally
It’s not about gender or race
I hate myself too
At times I feel like

We romanticize the hell we create
No ones
accepting responsibility
Blame left, blame right
We never looked inward
To realize  that we’re part of the issue

Ours isn’t ours
Mine isn’t yours
Theirs isn’t I’s
And everybodies a victim of themselves
Grow the **** up
And accept the fate
Of the world has pre determined
We live and grow
Die and appreciated for the memories we leave behind
My generation is one swine
Lead on by the parents
Who draw incorrect and far fetched parallels of Peeceived ****** or Socialism

Only we the people
Can make America great again
Turn inward
And realize that by voting
We actively contribute to our perpetual demise
Lawyer, businessman, and politicians don’t fix anything

We’ve done this to ourselves
dogs a mans best friend and everybodies too
anytime at all always there for you
faithful till the end he will always be
there with all his love that he gives for free

right there by your side when your feeling down
make you smile again take away your frown
best friend in the world he will always stay
with a love so true that will never fade away
i saw two friendly dolphins while i was out at sea
swimming in the ocean swimming wild and  free
gliding through the water both in harmony
made me feel so happy brought a smile to me

talking to each other with there dolphin sound
happy and content as they swam around
such a lovely creature as lovely as can be
everybodies favourite this creature of the sea

i wont forget that day while i was out at sea
the dolphins that i saw swimming wild and free
such a lovely creature one that i adore
one day i will return to see them again once more
there nothing quite like love to make feel so whole
something that is given body heart and soul
bring you happiness makes your dreams come true
sets your spirit free makes you feel brand new

something very special something that you share
love it comes to everyone each and every where
all around the world love is there for you
there inside your heart and for ever true

it will make you happy for your whole life through
a gift from up above for every me and you
no matter who we are no matter what the race
in everybodies heart love it has it place
i have a little chicken i call her emily
everywhere i go she will follow me
like a lttle dog with fur instead of feather
she will follow me no matter what the weather

in the rain and snow she really just dont care
everywhere i go she is always there
people stop and stare they all look at me
they all so hello   to little emily

everybodies friend they all love to see
best friend in the world there could ever be
children they all love her.  fills there hearts with glee

there to last a lifetime for your whole life through
