"fadeout" poems - Hello Poetry

I hear them The tolling, wailing bells So we've come to the end The last page of an epic The silent fadeout of the silver screen The dimming embers of a massive bonfire. We've unmoored our boats from the flotilla we once knew as 'home' and 'family'. The end of us We stand in the ruins Of a great building It once held the relation Of a father and daughter Of a husband and wife You set it on fire But we will not put out your flames With our tears and blood Anymore. Let the fire take away your poison And let the rain scour away every last toxic residue Of the bond we once held. This is my requiem. Perhaps one day this too shall seem like a dream.

Dying dreams.

I hear them The tolling, wailing bells So we've come to the end The last page of an epic The silent fadeout of the silver screen The dimming embers of a massive bonfire. We've unmoored our boats from the flotilla we once knew as 'home' and 'family'. The end of us We stand in the ruins Of a great building It once held the relation Of a father and daughter Of a husband and wife You set it on fire But we will not put out your flames With our tears and blood Anymore. Let the fire take away your poison And let the rain scour away every last toxic residue Of the bond we once held. This is my requiem. Perhaps one day this too shall seem like a dream.

Vagueness encircled Fragmented aspiration! Vagueness crafted Fadeout the dream of living! Vagueness designed Slaughter the humanity! Vagueness contrived Maneuver division! Vagueness persuaded Project masculinity! Vagueness indorsed Homicide creation.

In the midst of vagueness

Vagueness encircled Fragmented aspiration! Vagueness crafted Fadeout the dream of living! Vagueness designed Slaughter the humanity! Vagueness contrived Maneuver division! Vagueness persuaded Project masculinity! Vagueness indorsed Homicide creation.

The sky was darkening and the windows were lighting. She wore clean clothes and she had a key tied to her white shoelace, yet she wandered the poorly lit streets while families ate roasted chicken and peas and drank milk. She wasn't hungry, wasn't thirsty, wasn't tired. In spite of these facts, she wasn't content, either. She still had a reason to roam the streets, a reason to like the dark sky more than the lighted windows. She wasn't alone, of course. There were others, probably, wandering the streets, but she didn't want to find them. At this hour, the streets were meant to be meandered in solitude.

I just won a medal I wasn’t in a war I think it’s made of gold I don’t know what it’s for. I’m shocked at what it weighs. They threw me a parade I got an honorary degree Jimmy Fallon had me on TV now everyone recognizes me My old friends told me I was fickle by the paparazzi I became heckled I was notified that it’s ‘taxable’ It seemed the medal was quite valuable I became afraid that it might be stolen so I donated it to the Smithsonian. Now that I’m not wearing it people have started to forget now no one buys me drinks or cares about what I think. I’m no longer on the Wheaties box fame was a drug and I’m in detox The whole thing was bizarre, should I do ‘Dancing with the Stars’? or simply let it go - fadeout gracefully? I think anonymity suits me.

listening to singles is inevitable, you're bound to listen to singles, but... for the most part... they're overrated anyway... i found that i have a much larger attention span to digest three songs worth 3 minutes a pop, i'd rather stick to the progressive rock / jazz quartet / quintet behemoth of... say... 9 to 12 minutes... just like i found with the valley of the sun EP... for me EP is the way forward... because it fits in nicely between a single and an LP... it just tickles the atmospheric feel of an LP, but offers you so much more than what the single is... a footnote, a snippet... an erosion of the mind... with the valley of the sun EP? the last track... butch... and i don't mean lesbian butch... i mean - butch... grizzly butch... but that's the beauty of the EP... it's a generous sample... 3 minutes turn into ~30 minutes... the last track summarizes the whole pouch of sounds... but you only think this, because you think the last track will be something mellow... like the lullaby track on *dry **** logic*'s debut the darker side of nonsense... goodnight... most last LP tracks are fadeout... or thereabouts... but an EP last track? a absolute corker... riding and dunes?! come on... but you don't appreciate listening to this one track... the idea is to listen to the EP back-to-back, and let the last track surprise you... that's what's great about an EP... the element of surprise... and the variations throughout... with singles you have to pack in several... have a playlist and what not... a ******** carousel a carnival of too much variety... and it's like watching American football... but instead... you know... you're listening to this constant... stuttering... there's no smoothness of either an EP or an LP... stop, scrum, shuffle... throw ball back, throw ball forward... one lucky ***** catches the ball... runs on... or doesn't catch the ball... ball hits the ground... repeat... eh... singles are overrated... obviously it's inevitable that you'll come across them... but i hope the EP makes a comeback... if it hasn't done so already, at least for me it has.
