The Small Hours by goji, literature

Literature

The Small Hours

Looking upon my own contention Always seems to beg the question Who am I? What was I thinking? Where am I going? Why. Do I keep living? Is it that I feel empty? After all I let be compromised And all of my being sacrificed All the such and such I was giving I am awake in the small hours I watch the days grow steadily darker Watch the void send its mist and shadow Surfacing in the small hours In the hollow

Error by goji, literature

Literature

Error

Somewhere between the binary Nestled in the black and white ones and zeroes Was the soft, warm nurtured center of everyone That hated me With ember and passion Now the world rotates on its axis At the magnetic north and south poles It rotates, not dances, or strides through the universe The leaves change not shade, or tone, or from green to crimson Or vermillion The leaves merely exchange their seasonal pigment Unlike pine trees Which are by taxidermy evergreen And the typical homo sapiens heart does beat But only via electron impulse With a stagnant emulsion Or mindless red cells A clever and inquiring reader might well Ob

I Have A Dream by goji, literature

Literature

I Have A Dream

I have a dream About your tongue Smooth, moist and supple Writhing like a worm between my fingers Taking its turn in the pressure of the vice I have a dream today Where everything is fair And everyone gets their dues And happily the pastels of your skin So madly are painted the only real red I have a dream That the two of us joined hand in hand Finally release the demons and prejudices The hatred that we two hold within our selves Will finally be by my ravenous sin released I have a dream today Where we hate each other Just enough to blissfully stop The lies and the anguish tormenting me And that day I can think I am free

Keeping the Faith by goji, literature

Literature

Keeping the Faith

in times of peace I am the Anarchist during the war I am the Pacifist you know me as the Evangelist but all I really am is a Narcissist this is the doctrine of cows and of sheep bring unto me the sick and the meek I'll absolve all your pain and I'll soothe all your sin but I will not explain nor will I heal you within now, friends cover yourselves and with the faith keep it up we'll be on the airwaves we'll find more to corrupt in times of peace I am the Anarchist during the war I am the Pacifist you know me as the Evangelist but all I really am is a Narcissist I'm bringing you something at the end of the day before i get

Venom by goji, literature

Literature

Venom

"Ok, It's time to begin. I guess there comes a time in every man, or being's life cycle when he has to record everything he knows. Or at least he should. I have no children of my own and by all reasoning no matter if or how I try I never will. Such is the price of being a half-breed. And at your core, you are all Half-Breeds, though not all within circles drawn in the blood of your veins. Remember that! "That's the first thing I could tell you what I know about: persecution, hatred, all the horrible things people will call you. Mongrel. Bastard. Slime. Animal. Whore's Son. Inhuman. Lower Than Shit. The worst is the most accurate; Half-Breed.

Steady Ride by goji, literature

Literature

Steady Ride

Steady Ride My head's so hollow today I eat milk over soap flakes I've got to go out, got to get lost Gimme the gas, I'll supply the exhaust Legitimately, I'm feeling shallow Got to get some rewiring done So I'm ready for my steady ride Air will pass through me to the Other Side Riding with boys in convertibles Here's a bush of bleeding heads for you Could you spare some cement for me? I'm in need of new shoes, you see I'm steady riding through the void tonight I've got the crowbar if you've the spare Hop in my car, I just removed the doors It's lighter than air, and lands on all fours Please don't fret over me, Lunch is pack

Opposition by goji, literature

Literature

Opposition

Opposition I don't believe the pieces fit I don't believe a thing you say I can't make sense of it I can't stand you in my way The divergence of yesterday Is unilateralism of tomorrow I can't stand anything you say Mindlessly I fill with sorrow I see the problems in my life Inside I know you're to blame All you taught me to feel was strife All you taught me to play was the game I don't believe the pieces fit I don't believe a thing you say I can't make sense of it I can't stand you in my way Your scalpel-strokes still seem amoral Against life's clock I appear to race While people rest upon their laurels You make the world

Phoenix Rising Chapter 5 by goji, literature

Literature

Phoenix Rising Chapter 5

PR4 Moats of Ash and Tears Cold and silt-ridden foam fell upon the aching shoals of Bruder's bones. Like a swift and ravenous wave of vermin, the shocks and impulses of pain swept over his body reminding him of its very existence. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he knew from the glaze in his vision that he had been dreaming. In his gut, he felt the vacuous space, and the volatile feelings of nausea and hunger writhing within. Bladed gears turned round and round in his head carving foreign and alien calligraphy into the inside of his skull, and if he turned his eyes around maybe, just maybe, he could see…. He lied painfull

Lost Boy's Lullaby by goji, literature

Literature

Lost Boy's Lullaby

Lost Boy's Lullaby Between the hill and the night fell a shadow Where he crawled cold and bare The lost child dug his bed of the dirt and earth For a night spent alone in the darkness there Laying naked and paralyzed without shelter Cold solitude cut him bitter and deep He longed for the warmth of a candle Fear offered the child no respite for sleep His fingers dug into the welcoming soil Earth sheets kept him warm from the air Glow from the sky kept darkness at bay While tangled roots cushioned his head and hair The twinkle of stars played the melody Wind through the glade called the tune Night's voices sang him his last lulla

Incense of a Dark Mind

Incense of a Dark Mind ****************************** All bones cracked All limits did fall I smell the ash, the grit stain Smeared on the black wall Glazed in pain The dirt and blood Brushed like paint Mixed into mud With smothered flames And weathered souls Emancipated To lead form gold I felt the door Like a ribcage Once smashed and splintered Now fading with age And smited with smoke The dust left to choke Like hells athsma Spirits left to drown Drawn into the miasma My legs carry me through the portal Into the justification Of all things mortal Un atoned for sins Not yet weathered and worn I pray there's life

twilight sonata by goji, literature

Literature

twilight sonata

Twilight Sonata **************************** Here in the red dusk, embraced. We stand, arms intertwined, As your silent suffering Spills into my mind. Now my arms are cold Baptized in the tears you've shed I only draw you closer And hide the doubt in my head How odd, to me it seems That to soothe your wounds and conviction You seek shelter from me A man of constant contradiction And now starlight's reflection Shimmers within your hair It continues to tease me As it flutters in the air But into moonlight, just continue to cry I cannot mend the wound But I'm here until you can once more fly You can lose yourself with me An

And there you lay by goji, literature

Literature

And there you lay

and there you lay on the floor dead your heart ceased in its rythym too early you went to bed and in my bedroom i leave the light on in the shadows i stroke my neck you once wuld hang on and when i get up i hang my chin in regret for you i had tender words for me you had love and for us everyone and no respect. in the back of my head your face makes me itch it seems were still stuck together i\'ll see you soon, my bitch i can untie my earthly knots i cannot imagine my life without you and it seems that when you hung yourself you bought a one way ticket to hell for two and i see my own eyes in this kife\'s blade i hate t

The Ronin by goji, literature

Literature

The Ronin

The Ronin (plural) The sun beats down from above in the sky My shell just wants to sit out and wait to fry My shadow looks black like ink on paper So I stare ahead and watch the rising street vapor My straw hat hides any pain with which we've dealt Though I only really need a canteen and the katanna on my belt me and my buddy keep walking, we talk some more but that's no pint, cause it's the same bullshit we've said before and on the roadside captives dig in irons bound don't understand that treasure in the soul is found and it must be easier to grow wings and fly instead of walkin' till we pass the horizon and die because as

Angel in the Rain by goji, literature

Literature

Angel in the Rain

Angel in the Rain You're holding my hand It seems this rain will never stop Even so we just keep walking along the middle of the road With no shoes or sandals on our feet Sand is sticking between our toes And a faint rainbow shows the way home In sweet ocean breeze My little girl's smiling like tomorrow ahs no meaning And we're both so happy we make the day look like night Nobody can se her halo or her wings But my baby smells so sweet Her golden locks ripple like waves when their wet And we both must look so foolish We might as well be butt naked, Because everyone can see how we are on the inside right now They can see throu

Druggie poetry v1 by goji, literature

Literature

Druggie poetry v1

Lately I'm feeling disjointed my soul's already begun to decay Like the fibers in my mind are starting To unravel, the ends to fray dust from hell, dust of angels Shoved into the hole that was my head Instead of food, I'm eating toxics Just to make sure I'm not quite dead. Hallucinations dance and taunt I want someone to cry for me I cant stop crying, cant stop falling and I swallowed a whole spree My heart spreads venom poison running, to fill my veins The more control I try and regain The more I feel I've lost my coach's reins This light and pain grows more hypnotic In this chair my body starts to shake Now I'm quaking in

Spaghetti Western by goji, literature

Literature

Spaghetti Western

My pocket's full of pesos My glass to the brim with tequila I watch people steal a pickup From the front of the cantina I just sit here keep on sweating So hard I just can't stay dry My eyes want to get to weeping When there aren't tears in me to cry What I really want to do Is make my future today But its so goddamn hot All I can do is hit the hay When its too bright to siesta I cant sit back and wait till its my time Every muscle in my body itches to get up To go and get what I know's mine It'll just be hotter manana So I'd best do what I can today This impenedor wants to be a preacher But there aren't any words to say I

As My World Turns... by Nagi-Tsukiono, literature

Literature

As My World Turns...

As my world turns I feel so alone. As my world turns I find it so dark. As my world turns I see no point. As my world turns I fade away. As my world turns I can't find you. As my world turns It hurt's to wait. As my world turns I stop feeling. As my world turns I fade away. As my world turns It's suddenly harder. As my world turns I feel the shame. As my world turns I can't bare it. As my world turns I fade away. As my world turns I feel the pain. As my world turns I turn away. As my world turns I can't take it. As my world turns. I fade away.

aint It Grand

0 min read

how we forget about the things we used to care about? now, that was rather cynical. I've had the past two, three months of my life, mroe than the beginning part of this year ABSORBED by my future. it's insane, what people in publich schools, especially gifted kids, are subjected to. For the past two eyars of my life i've spent roughly an hour a day, each shcool day, preparing for a test i will take tomorrow, for what? nothing, really, it's not going to affect who i am as a person, or my fuutre that much, but i've put so much effort into an hour of multiple choice questions, and 2 hours of essay writing on nuggets of history i really have no
