Hope stays strong when
the life that died is breathing.
Dreams come true when
the deranged mind denies it.
Benevolent are the people
in the world of prosperity.
Blind are the people who
claim to see with total clarity.
Deaf are the dead kids
who get up to fight each other
blunt are the swords that are used
to shoot each other.
What can be made of this
circus tent of life?
Ask anyone, nobody knows
the meaning of death or life.
tell me if its ok?

| User | orpheus | 2005-12-14 | | | Subject | an old one | | Message | empty is phil
i’m a contradiction in terms, like water that burns
hot ice, i’m doing life in a prison full of girls
i’m the reject you wanted, but the gold you throw away
a wise man you’re dispising because i don’t know what to say
i’m the hip hop Charlie Chaplin, when i’m rappin no-one laughs
a supreme athlete running the track alone but comes last
my hands are always dirty so you know i that i’m clean,
caught in the act, hand in the bag,’hey m’aam it was’nt me
the only sane brain in the clinic, the original generic
a renagade that behaves as i’m the mimic authethic
i am the infinite poet with a definite end
with my intricate notice i am simplicities friend
i’m excess deprivation, created desicration
yin yang, child man, joined in seperation
hot cold, yes no, wordless conversation
stop go, high low, peacefull altacation
i’m a contusion without the bruizin, a continuous conclusion
contraversal confusion that always points out the solution
i’m the neon cameleon so you can see my camoflage
so i sabotage my espionage to give myself a massage
because i’m painfully euphoric, angelically demonic
a sadistic masochist so cataclismic with harmonics
im a morphine amphetamine compound thats renound
as a hyroglyphic cryptic clue that can’t be found
i am as powerfull as Achillies but enemies aim at my heel
so my open book is a blank page, as i reveal i conceal
indiscreetly incognito as we go to my square circle
i’m hard soft, head tails, internally external
i’m excess deprivation, created desicration
yin yang, child man, joined in seperation
hot cold, yes no, wordless conversation
stop go, high low, peacefull altication
i’m duality without the dual, a bonfire with out the fuel
the healthy cigarette, i’m Eclipsed, without the moon
i’m a deadly medly of martial arts like Bruce Lee
but i just ee-gouged my self again, ow, i can’t see
i’m the illusion that’s real, i move by sitting still
dexterity in calamity means i’m empty but phil
insubstantial in my force i’m the loudest silent scream
inconsequential with a cause, i’m up front subliminally
i was born by caecarian an aries pices cusparian
meat eating vegetarian, an inhumane humanatarian
i am the incarnate oxymoron always lying in truth
hold on..what you’ve just read, is not me it’s you...
you’re excess deprivation, created desicration
yin yang, woman man, joined in seperation
hot cold, yes no, wordless conversation
stop go, high low, peacefull altication

Night steals away the youthful dawn,
Light never to see the glorious setting sun.
Never a chance to see the beauty of autumn,
When winter storms overrun the buds of spring.
And the first celebration of life is a requiem |

yet far apart
Far from mind
but close to heart.
Love you still
but hate you more
Still interesting
but yet a bore.
I once had respect
Now I know you’re a whore. |
| User | besodemuerte | 2005-05-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | she thinks of the one she loves, hating herself
seeing him in her dreams, waking to a bitter reality
her eyes open, closing off her desires
but even in darkness light shines down
and the stars remind her he’s thinking of her
i have no idea... i just wanted to see if i was getting the jyst of it... |
| User | SouthrnQT | 2005-05-10 | | | Subject | The Circle | | Message | Splicing through time, the sharp knifes blade
Begrudging us of happiness, dulling our existence
Secretly wishful upon death’s wake
Announcing it’s life through a newborn cry. |
| User | jermwerm | 2005-04-14 | | | Subject | just a lil try | | Message | I’ll show you a poem thats veiled to all,
speaking of secrets without speaking at all.
I will throw you these words as my hand holds them tight,
bringing dimmed peace that leaves with our light.
you may ask me why bother?
I’m told I am dead.
you will silense with poster,
screaming I’ve lived.
these words were so fast,
as it slowers our thoughts.
this will freeze in the desert,
it will burn in the frost. |

| User | Indigo Kid | 2004-12-22 | | | Subject | foot fetish | | Message | The man was ugly
The girl was sweet
She hated her shoes
He loved her feet
He smelled the odor with utter content
She saw what he did and felt complaisent
Bound in the store, alone in her chair
She wanted the freedom of new shoes , only one pair
He told her to leave due to the look on her face
She stayed in her spot and that began the chase
This is the story of a girl who wanted shoes
and a man who loved feet... who do you choose?
Silly, I know... blame Sex In The City...

| User | jaycee | 2004-11-11 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | When I moved the challenge from my messages, I misunderstood the original challenge here, so pretty much there is no wrong way to do this. The original challenge (antonyms placed adjacently in the same line) is the hardest to do.
Any variation is fine:
opposites adjacent in the same line
Opposites non- adjacent in the same line.
Adjacent lines with opposite meanings.
Nightmare Date and both of Friendly Felines posts are good examples of the original challenge.

That some stupid intellectuals want things to stay.
The dark light they use to see society
Makes yesterday’s fake truth take propriety,
As their blind eyes succeed failure when
Their attentive ignorance conquers once again |

a fish out of the ocean
vanity in a holy man
a violin plays with a hard rock band

| User | angela~ | 2004-04-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Okay...I shall try this.
I was dreaming realities that cannot be possible
when awakend gently, roughened hands on my cheek
My weakness strengthend by your loving touch
as you lighten darkening thoughts.
Sun rising, settling my nerves.
In your kisses I am lost, found to a new passion
As lust burns hotly, cooling my inhibition
your mine forever, never will I stop loving you

| User | jaycee | 2004-04-26 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | You guys have done a great job. This was originally a challenge to me from Crash and I misunderstood his meaning. The opposite words side by side in a line is very difficult until you get the hang of it. But feel free to write using opposites in alternating lines too or even within a line. All three ways make for some interesting writes.
