Drowning in Words

Finis et vitae

2011-04-19T00:57:00.000+01:00

Dance as you listen to life's music
Sing as you feel life's lyrics
Cry to the end of life's song.

And Listen to the echoes,
as you remember life,
but never again, its Touch.

Amor sive solitudini

2011-04-19T00:51:00.000+01:00

It can eat through your heart
It can catch up with you in a moments notice
It can capture you and leave you defenseless
Some may think I speak of love
Others, that I speak of loneliness
In which fate does your heart lie?

Blindness

2011-04-19T00:48:00.000+01:00

Everything seems to turn dark.
A shadow has taken over my eyes.
When day turns to night,
When reality and illusion collide,
What will you do?
See?
Or let yourself be blind?

Politiquices

2011-04-17T14:30:00.002+01:00

Agora um bocadinho de actualidade. Dizem que anda por aí o FMI. Acho que é verdade. Agora se os ditos senhores e senhoras andam a por as mãos na cabeça a tentar encontrar soluções, bebam muito café ( ou então algo mais forte, pois vão precisar). E não se preocupem se acharem que estão a precisar de óculos. Não precisam. O buraco é mesmo desse tamanho. Uma solução seria pôr os nossos amigos políticos e dirigentes a um canto de castigo. Se resulta com as crianças, deduzo que com homens e mulheres supostamente adultos também. Nem que seja para haver uma viagem introspectiva à infância. Por outro lado, a Finlândia não quer ajudar? Não faz mal. Podem sempre ir a uns joguitos de futebol. Têm uns quantos marmanjos a andar de um lado para o outro em calções cujas contas bancárias estão recheadas. Façam uma petição.

Change the DJ

2011-04-17T14:25:00.002+01:00

Last night went out with friends. It was great to let out some steam. Enjoy the weekend while it lasts. It was good until we decided to lift our buts out of the chairs and dance. This is where, as until then we where more into our conversation (or some remotely like that), we concentrated on the music. Well, it suched. We were begging for the change in the DJ. Have something to tell you about that.... DIDN'T WORK!!!

Inspiration

2011-04-17T14:13:00.003+01:00

Well, it seems there hasn't been any really inspiration to write. Although, maybe I'm lying (is this right??) there. Maybe there has been a word there, a sentence here. And I should have more material with all the schizophrenic people I put up everyday.

What do you do?

What do you do,
When you can't do a thing?
What do you say
When there's nothing to say?
What do you feel
When you can't feel?

Do you turn around?
Do you keep quiet?
Do you turn cold?

Or do you fight?

The humming bird

Once upon a time I saw a humming bird
Flying through the sky
Bright and colourful
It seemed to go high and high
Through the white clouds
But they changed
Storm came
Rain started to pour down
Mixed with tears
that feel through my eyes
All I saw now was grey
The sky dark
And the humming bird falling.

Holding on...

Temptation looks down on you
It pulls you through,
Even when you try to hold on.
Your hands and feet,
May be carved to the dusty floor,
But blood is pumping in your veins
Adrenaline squeezing your thoughts
And you still want to reach it

2009-04-04T23:59:00.000+01:00

After the dream ends

Have you ever seen such beautiful sight?
That it seems as blue as the ocean's depth
Have you ever touched such soft skin?
That your hand seems to run through velvet?
Have you ever felt such powerful feeling?
That robs you of your heart and soul
Have you ever tasted such sweet taste?
That it can overcome your other senses?
Did you feel whole then?
Even after you awoke from the dream?

Thinking...

Have you ever stopped and really looked around you? I mean...not just look but see.
We go through life looking but never seeing.
Now...a different thing...

Have you ever tried to think? I don't mean just to consume what others say and do. Others Opinions don't count! I mean to think for yourself and then...

Think and see.

First step. SEE yourself through a mirror.
Second Step. Think for yourself. Don't let yourself jut be there.
Third Step. Actually do it.

P.S.: I had a wish for self help... Tell me if it works

Will I ever understand why?

© By Sammie

I once tried to break free
Tried to feel the dark waters crash around
to let them wash away the tears
to see If the ropes around me let go of their grip

I tried to understand what went wrong
why the ropes kept gripping harder
why the harder the tears came
the more the dark waters turned violent

Then I understood
I was holdin' on to something
something that had long ago gone by
and the more i cried
the more i couldn't break free

...so...

I let go...I broke free...

and no more tears for nothing

2006-11-04T23:35:00.002Z

...in limbo...

I swim in the darkness
I fight in the light
I jump into doubt
I walk in uncertainty
I try to run away
I try to follow a path

Though...

I chose to see a lie
I prefer to sleep in screams
I don't want the truth

I want blindness

Between temptation and madness
© By Sammie
You tried to reach me
lingering beside me
your darkness touching me so lightly
sending shivers through my spine
And all I want is to sucumb to you
To kneel by your feet
You overpower me
And I want to submit

So why bother with steel barriers?
Why should I even try to cry out?
To call out for help?
To deny this craving?
Why resist temptation
When you're already inside me
under my skin
and in my breath

Mirror and shadows

© By Sammie

The sky reflects something you once knew

It reflects the shadows of timeless choices

Different paths you could have taken

Countless choices you shouldn't have made

Like an eraser,

Your mind wipes away the memories

Which you want to keep

The...

You are left with the weight of that mirror:

The sky which holds the shadows of ancient times

which you won't dare break.

Nature’s rage

© By Sammie

You try to hold on.

To stay with your feet secured on earth

And not drift away with the ocean’s waves…

But then you feel the line,

Pulling you side by side

Nothing to keep you steady

And only an earthquake is under you…

Thoughts of a killer…

© By Sammie

Warning: Not intended for children. Bare in mind this is fiction. The supposed killer is only a fictional character.

Why do people associate dying with pain? I believe it’s a form of art.

Of course, the subject of such experiment has to be carefully chosen and all variables taken in consideration.

But afterwards…it’s pure bliss.

After the bruising of said skin with a blunt knife the river of blood runs from the wounds along the arms, making a pool on the floor.

A vision one should treasure, don’t you think?

2006-08-20T17:02:00.002+01:00

To think we live in paradise…

The world is supposed to be a great mystery ready to be explored
but I only see it as being frivolous and a lonely place to live in.

Everyone walks around, along the extensive concrete streets,
bared of trees and filled with steel giants.
Every single person walks with a destination to go to
and worry as fulfilment to their empty lives.

Look at me

© By Sammie

Why do you look at me like that?
your eyes seem to penetrate my soul
Every inch of my skin burns alive
your fingers only touch my cheek
But it's enough
Why do you have to look at me like that?
You slowly approach me
I can feel every move you make
you look at me like that
And my skin tingles
I urge to touch you
but you look at me like that
And I can't move

To choose a path

© By Sammie

I don't know what to do
a decision has to be made
never knew how
never knew why
But everything seems to turn around and around
Everything spins like the wheels of a car
And decisions have to be made
Roads have to be taken
Which path does your fate lead you?
Will you be going right?
Or will you be going left?
Which one do you choose?
Why do you have to choose?

Loneliness be gone

© By Sammie

My heart cries for an eternity
for your aching soul
Love is never forgotten
Home is always there
And my friendship is in itself a salvation
Where your soul can shed that loneliness
and banish those tears

2006-04-30T22:33:00.001+01:00

Is it me?

© By Sammie

If I feel lonely
It's because you're not there
Or is it me?
The one tat doesn't see
the reason for this consuming feeling
Is it because...
my soul is blind to the reality
and open to the illusion?

2006-04-06T14:06:00.001+01:00

Lost

© By Sammie

I am lost
Lost and don't know why
Have you ever felt lost?
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
But some place to go
And no way to get there?
As your eyes follow the horizon
you try to see the end of the road
your try to grab onto something
But it escapes through your fingers
Like air, you wish to retain it
But it never stays
You try to find the end
Only to find out...
You have returned to the beginning

My Wall

© By Jennifer M. Dodson

I have a wall you cannot see
Because it's deep inside of me
It blocks my heart on every side
And lets my emotions hide
You can’t reach in
You can’t reach out
And you wonder what its all about

This wall I have that you can’t see
Results from what was done to me
Each time my heart was hurt
The scars within grew worse and worse
So brick by brick I built this wall
I made it so thick it will not fall

I know this process will be slow
For its never easy to let things go
For just by brick by brick I laid
With every hurt and every pain
It's really hard to let you In
Thinking I might get hurt again

So brick by brick this wall will break
As love replaces every ache
This wall has fallen and I am free
But some of the debris is still
Deep inside of me

2005-09-30T16:05:00.001+01:00

Hidden

Behind a mask
My face is blank from practice
My feelings well hidden
Deep within my heart a chamber is filled with emotions
Overflowing from never having been let out.

Until the point comes
When they're too much to bear
So I give in.
And alone in my room
They come out
In tears

Then I pick myself back up
Wipe the evidence of tears from my face
Put on a face smile
And walk back into the world
Like nothing is wrong.

The truth stays behind
Locked within the confides of my bedroom.
My escape

I put my mask back on.
