       Poetry Collection # 4

       ------------------------------------------------------------

       Greetings hoards of fan. Yes that's right, I have maybe one
       fan, but I do not write this stuff for everyone. My poems
       may not be the best but nobody else could write them, nobody
       else knows how I feel, how I think. My last poetry set was
       mostly love poems, well it was time for a change and I did.

       See if you can guess what's going on with me, see if you can
       understand. Oh yeah, since last poetry thing I started on a
       book of sorts of my poetry. I'm not planning on having it
       published, but who knows, I may send it in to some poetry
       magazine or something, maybe I'll get lucky.

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Tide of Love
       ---

       our love washes up like the tide
       as strong as the ocean
       our tears of happiness
       insecurity is out only crime

       to be stranded on an deserted isle
       nothing but your love to keep me company
       your love will keep me alive for quite some while
       your the one that i want with me

       when we're apart we feel a little sad
       we miss each others warm love
       when we talk everything brightens up
       awaiting the next we will meet

       sleeping on the beaches the tide comes in
       your love envelops me and makes me a new man
       the tears i cry for happiness is the greatest feeling
       being born again, you are the only thing i need

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Alone
       ---

       floating, gradually
       moving towards, moving away
       dark, bright, the long fight
       feel it, devouring

       eyes, seeing nothing
       blindness devoid
       nothing to hear, nothing to see
       living in darkness, nothing to see

       pain, fast, force, pounding
       courage, hopefulness
       shattering like glass
       the hammer meets the anvil

       standing beside yourself
       look at the lies
       the rope tightens, tighter
       hope soars away, like a glider

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Vein
       ---

       slamming, the pain
       blood boils in my veins
       fists to the wall
       ready to take the fall

       the stabbing, the hand
       more pain for every grain of sand
       blind by the stabbing
       coarsing through the veins

       tapping away
       the pain never goes
       fighting the way
       the blood of the rose

       lightening quickens
       electrical pain through the tendons
       pressure, pressing down
       it's easy to drown

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Follower
       ---

       following the lead
       what ever can you do
       following the leader
       nothing better to do

       what else is there?
       who else could surrender
       they mock you
       they flock upon you

       defensive weakness
       obsessive obedience
       quivering in the darkness
       the fear takes over

       take them upon your wing
       what else could you do?
       they won't sing
       how can they?

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Annoyance
       ---

       annoyance
       how dare they
       don't they understand me?
       won't they stand with me?

       they ave no idea
       no fein of knowing
       they are themselves
       not even knowing

       emotional rage
       misunderstanding
       don't they get it
       there is no calming

       anger and sadness
       taking a stand for my madness
       there is nothing worse
       nothing more, no sadness

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Lonely Death
       ---

       sitting by myself
       thinking i'm wrong
       sitting by myself
       nobody around

       nobody to talk to
       nobody to share with
       nobody to tell
       nobody at all

       never with anyone
       with someone, alone
       nobody understands
       never do

       so empty inside
       nobody to fill me
       nobody's tried
       i die inside

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Silent Rage
       ---

       nobody to hear me
       nobody to hear my silent rage
       silent tears
       silence showing it's age

       the wordless sadness
       the quiet anger
       i speak with my tears
       falling on deaf ears

       the music of a thousand mimes
       filling my head
       their screams shattering
       driving me mad

       feel my fear
       this silent rage
       see my pain
       please, turn the page

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Impatience
       ---

       standing alone
       waiting for the bus
       sitting in my room
       no phone will ring

       contemptual confusion
       misguided illusion
       pent up frustration
       psychotic limitation

       silent listening
       deafening nothing
       passing time
       nothing to do

       thumping of the beat
       you can't beat this heat
       the anger grows inside
       there is no place to hide

       misdirected revolt
       nothing to keep, nothing to say
       there is nothing worse
       nothing like waiting

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Insane
       ---

       running still
       standing still
       no movement on high
       feel the thrill

       despise the goodness
       avoid the bad
       destroying the middle
       nothing

       running on high
       trying to touch the sky
       the heat is searing
       trying to melt my wing

       aluminum destruction
       caffeine seduction
       the lethargy is upon us
       destroy every one, leave the bus

       scrambling for destruction
       rambling seduction
       the bitter cold, the cold heat
       the fire that dies, lit the skies

       the warmth the cold
       the feeling of the void
       the room with no mirrors
       the view was full of errors

       Poetry Collection # 5

       ------------------------------------------------------------

       Hello,

       It's been a while since I wrote any poetry and I believe
       this shall be my last collection. Yeah yeah, I hear you all
       now. Death to BobSlack you say, Enough of his insane poems,
       what a dumbass.

       Well, perhaps all of you aren't saying that, perhaps none.
       Who knows, in any case I believe with this last poetry
       collection that this marks the point where I get into what
       I really wanna do.

       Game design. Who knows, maybe there will be a game out in
       the future by me, you know. Panther Modern Softs or
       FnordWare or whatever. I do know one thing for sure, I am
       gonna do one killer game based on William Gibson's Sprawl
       type world!

       Oh yeah, oe more thing.. No more wimmenz for a while, they
       suck!

                                       [email protected]

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Past Future
       ---

       time flows like a winding water
       as blue and unstoppable as the ocean
       life goes by like lightening
       sometimes it is so frightening

       things past, things undone
       old feelings suddenly emerge
       nothing to do but the future
       nothing to do but realize

       an old friend a special person
       a past of things half done
       realization is the main factor
       and love is another one

       the roots of true friendship run deep
       even seeable from a deep sleep
       the love that was there
       is renewed like a flame burning

       yearning for the times to be
       there is nothing to do about the past
       you just have to wait and see
       and do your best

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Krickets in the Attic
       ---

       sitting at home
       your life is so noexistant
       sitting at home
       you feel so obedient

       avoiding the problems
       the solutions at hand
       lacking the courage to fight em
       or perhaps too much heart

       giving so much
       common courtesy is a lost cause
       leach all given none
       sooner or later you have to run

       live it up feel the joy
       you deserve happiness like every girl or boy
       find someone, something special
       live the love, nothing is so level

       it's time to take what's yours
       you feel so much desolation
       it's time for you to fix it
       you have the solution so don't nix it

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Free Communication
       ---

       the line is busy
       your never home
       no free time to spend
       your not by the phone

       continually waiting
       it seems like an eternity
       continually debating
       will you be free for me?

       so little time
       so much to say
       so many interruptions
       there is no other way

       kidnapping is out of the word
       leaving on impulse is almost absurd
       caged in, you have no word
       what i have to say remains unheard

       so little time for me
       so much for me to say
       no chance to speak
       it is your freedom i seek

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       The Dead Fool
       ---

       everybody watching my every move
       i'm just trying to feel the groove
       listening to every word you say
       believing every bit

       it doesn't matter what you say
       what you mean is obvious
       even if it's true for me
       they are all lies to me

       i believe every word
       you believe what you say
       the joke's on you
       nothing could be so hard

       paying the price for my pain
       dementia searing thru me like burning flames
       feel the hot pain the cold pleasure
       the immense feeling like i'm in a grave

       i'm dead inside living out a lie called life
       striving to fool everyone
       there is nothing but death of emotions
       i'm the fool to feel

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Fear of Weird
       ---

       running down the streets
       the dark alley ways
       everybody is staring at me
       what is so different?

       i change myself
       i try to cloak myself
       in the normal weirdness that's me
       burning out my eyes

       think an thought so alien
       feel the emotions of a million
       the pain the pleasure
       too intense to bear

       cloak myself in shadows
       hide in isolation
       the feeling is so intense
       the fear, i can't budge an inch

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Love Lies
       ---

       one thing shatters
       another crumbles
       life around me
       flatter and flatter

       first you cancel the wine
       then you cancel the room
       now you cancel the time
       i fear for my doom

       life seems so fake
       trust is the only thing we have
       it seems to be faltering
       so disguised so disgusted

       the truth seems like lies
       lies are the real truth
       nothing is true yet nothing is a lie
       love is so confusing, what a lie

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Impeach the Workshop
       ---

       old anticipation
       a flood of excitement
       death of resignation
       nothing but an informant

       gathering the information
       supplying the definition
       rebuilding the lost
       trashing what's toast

       old emptiness
       everything is free
       too much under
       home of the teens

       nothing but take
       nothing is returned
       home of the intelligent?
       no title was earned

       leach leach
       death to the king
       the masses tear us down
       impeachment is the thing

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Lies of the King
       ---

       deafness, silence
       nothing to be said
       nothing is heard
       blank, silence, nothing

       running away from the light
       the music make it all feel right
       nothing is as bright
       nothing but an unending night

       superstition
       demons filling your head
       the lies you tell yourself
       your better off dead

       listening to yourself alone
       defending your uneven throne
       you are the one powerful
       unready to take your fall

       ------------------------------------------------------------
       Videogame
       ---

       new technology new imagination
       the life it breathes into me
       the wholesome containment
       shatter

       the levels of depth
       the depth of color
       blindly fast
       no more cash

       the uneventful adventure
       the dieing breed
       nothing is left of life
       nothing to read

       lightening reflexes
       a killer mood
       nothing is left
       nothing is good
