Welcome to Yourself - Hairy Leech
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
fingers hover above the keys, don't know what to press. wrong keystroke
|
|||
|
could be fatal. could ruin me. could do me in. could end the world as i
|
|||
|
know it. could set me free..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i express myself through the keys i press, the letters that form the words,
|
|||
|
the words that convey the thoughts swirling around in my mind..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i express myself with my hands more so than i do with my mouth.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am mute.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i express myself through the art i make with my hands, with my with my
|
|||
|
body, with my being.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i express myself through all external contact. the tone of my voice, the
|
|||
|
look in my eyes, the way my face contorts, the way i touch, the way i hold,
|
|||
|
the way i strike. i am the inside, i am one with the outside, together we
|
|||
|
make a complex machine.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
11 o'clock on a friday morning.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am a proton, a neutron, an electron, an atom, a molecule, a cell, a
|
|||
|
building block.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am a bit, flickering on-off, on-off.. 1, 0, 1, 0, yes, no, yes, no, yes,
|
|||
|
no!..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am a renegade bit. i flash maybe, and .5 and anything else i see fit.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
renegade bits create erroring bytes. erroring bytes create corrupted data.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am corrupted data.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am slurred speech.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am the damp, rancid air that howls out of a drunk's throat.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am the moisture in the breath, always changing forms.. solid, liquid,
|
|||
|
gas.. going up, going down, collecting, evaporating..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am inside of you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am corrupting your mind.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am a bad thought.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am poking at you from the inside.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am ripping holes in your shallow beliefs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am gouging your eyes out, so that you might see.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"..hullo? it's me."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
can you hear me in there?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"what.. what's the matter with you?"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am the knife that cuts your heart out.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"the tools, they will be swinging.."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am the tune you cannot get out of your head.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"the tools, they will be swinging.."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am the god of my own world.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"but we will not be beaten down.."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
don't hesitate.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i've never cried a cold tear.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
on-off, on-off, on-off.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
here a bit, there a bit, everywhere a bit, bit..
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"you carry out your noble actions.. we will carry our noble scars.."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
reclamation.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"you will do what looks good to you on paper.. we will do what we must.."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
oh, to be a caveman.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am you; you are me.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
my thoughts are your thoughts.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
explore me.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
explore yourself.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
see who i am?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
see yourself.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am a mirror of reality.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
as are you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i look at you to see who i am.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
"this time it's real.."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
when mirrors shatter, they become splinters of a former self. tiny bits and
|
|||
|
pieces. tiny bits.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
when i look back through time and compare my current self to my former, i
|
|||
|
see that i am but a bit of what i was. but a bit.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
on-off, on-off, on-off.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i don't believe in luck.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am but a splinter of my former self.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
in all the directions i could have grown, i grew in this direction.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
other choices pushed aside.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i find myself needing a chair.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am hairy leech.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am nitsuj.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i am justin.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
pleased to meet you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
welcome to yourself.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
11:24 on a friday morning.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
fringe's writing impresses me lots.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
i should go boil myself in a kettle now.

Assorted Poems by Kel'anth
|
|||
|
- ---
|
|||
|
Well, before I spew poetry at you, let me introduce myself. I'm
|
|||
|
Spartacus, or I was. Now I'm Kel'anth. This is my new handle. New handle,
|
|||
|
meet all the people. People, meet my new handle. This here is an odd mix, I
|
|||
|
think. Lots of different kinds of stuff, a lot of it is depressing and
|
|||
|
deathlike. Have fun, don't hurt yourself. I'll throw in a famous Hairy
|
|||
|
Leech style "---" after each thing, so it looks nicer.

"A Fish Dish"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
The world turns inside out
|
|||
|
As we watch shaking with fear
|
|||
|
The people scream and shout
|
|||
|
They know that death is near
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Mountains crumbling, sky beneath our feet
|
|||
|
The world is in a fish
|
|||
|
Inside out, prepared to eat
|
|||
|
The Earth sits on a dish
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Dismembered corpses scattered all around
|
|||
|
Warped wood draped with entrails sticks half into the ground
|
|||
|
Fish guts are our universe, above the scaly sky
|
|||
|
Survivors falling through the void forever till they die
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Cities burn and mountains fall
|
|||
|
Forests turn to stone
|
|||
|
Leprous mothers weep and babies squall
|
|||
|
seeing firstborn sons stripped to the bone
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The vulture's out of business
|
|||
|
The children eat the dead
|
|||
|
Zombies roam in darkness
|
|||
|
And smash in babies' heads
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The universe in ruin lies
|
|||
|
Within a rotting fish
|
|||
|
Entropy has paid its call
|
|||
|
The flies now lick the dish
|
|||
|
|
|||

|
"Darkness Unheeded"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
Darkness descends
|
|||
|
Night without end
|
|||
|
On a world without life
|
|||
|
It is dead
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A cinder, an ember
|
|||
|
Spinning through space
|
|||
|
Without life without light
|
|||
|
It was slaughtered
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Crumbling skulls litter the ground
|
|||
|
Among the blackened ashes
|
|||
|
Brains spill out as they split wide open
|
|||
|
Nothing to eat them but the cold cold wind
|
|||
|
The vultures are dead
|
|||
|
The flies are dead
|
|||
|
The mildew is dead
|
|||
|
They died with the men
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Craters where once stood cities
|
|||
|
Filled with icy water by the falling rains
|
|||
|
It glows in the darkness
|
|||
|
A fire that burns in flesh
|
|||
|
The living death wrought by men
|
|||
|
Men who killed each other
|
|||
|
Men who killed their world
|
|||
|
Men who killed their cause
|
|||
|
Men who killed their dreams
|
|||
|
Men who killed their future
|
|||
|
Men who killed themselves
|
|||
|
Eternal darkness falls
|
|||
|
There's no one left to care
|
|||
|

"Chessboard"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
God and Satan play chess
|
|||
|
On a board that is round, a world
|
|||
|
God makes the rules
|
|||
|
Souls are the pawns
|
|||
|
Souls of men and angels
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
God wins
|
|||
|
As he knew he would
|
|||
|
Satan protests
|
|||
|
"I want a rematch!"
|
|||
|
God says, "Go to hell,
|
|||
|
And take your damn pieces with you!"
|
|||
|
And guides him with a swift kick
|
|||
|
Throws after him the box
|
|||
|
With Satan's pieces
|
|||
|
And unaligned pieces
|
|||
|
Souls of men and angels
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Satan burns
|
|||
|
The box burns
|
|||
|
The pieces burn
|
|||
|
Souls of men and angels
|
|||
|
Satan's men and Man's men
|
|||
|
In eternal pain
|
|||
|
God laughs at their screams
|
|||
|

|
"Dark Phoenix"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
I walk in darkness
|
|||
|
A thick black cloak
|
|||
|
A billowing cloud of pestilence
|
|||
|
Trailing, bringing pain and death
|
|||
|
I am the harbinger of misery
|
|||
|
Look on me and beware
|
|||
|
Children tremple at my coming
|
|||
|
And at my passing cry or die
|
|||
|
But like the Phoenix of ancient lore
|
|||
|
From the dark flames rise new-born men
|
|||
|
Born to darkness, born to pain
|
|||
|
Risen from hellfire
|
|||
|
They follow close, these men of strife
|
|||
|
My army, wielders of Death's sword
|
|||
|
They spread the new-found life
|
|||
|
|
|||

"Terrible Secret"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
The world ended today
|
|||
|
Not with a bang but a whimper
|
|||
|
I'm the only one left on Earth
|
|||
|
Why am I writing this?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you are a visitor
|
|||
|
A being from space
|
|||
|
This warning is meant for you
|
|||
|
Spread it far beyond the stars
|
|||
|
Or all this will happen to you
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Our death was our fault
|
|||
|
And by our own hands
|
|||
|
We sought to know
|
|||
|
That whisch best lay undiscovered
|
|||
|
We sought to know
|
|||
|
The mind of God
|
|||
|
And all that we found was death
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Despair killed us all
|
|||
|
The despair of the lost
|
|||
|
At the terrible secret we found
|
|||
|
Every last man, woman, child took his life
|
|||
|
Leave this world and seek not to find
|
|||
|
The words that destroyed a race
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I will not repeat them
|
|||
|
My pity for the universe
|
|||
|
At what I know
|
|||
|
And none can know and live
|
|||
|
Prevents such a last desperate act of cruelty
|
|||
|
I write this in the blood
|
|||
|
That spills from my throat
|
|||
|
The blood of all the Universe
|
|||
|
Ignorance can be bliss sometimes
|
|||
|
Guard it carefully
|
|||
|
It's your life

|||

"Alone at Last"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
I am alone
|
|||
|
Bodies strewn before me
|
|||
|
Alone at last
|
|||
|
Corpses piled behind me
|
|||
|
I have won
|
|||
|
Worlds burn all around me
|
|||
|
I've killed tham all
|
|||
|
I am alone
|
|||
|
Silence
|
|||
|
Wait!
|
|||
|
There is one more
|
|||
|
One more to kill
|
|||
|
And there will be silence
|
|||
|
Silence unbroken
|
|||
|
Peace at last
|
|||
|
Eternal peace
|
|||
|
I take the last life
|
|||
|
All is empty

"Another Romeo"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
I lie beneath the ground
|
|||
|
My flesh decaying
|
|||
|
Worms live in my eye sockets
|
|||
|
And eat of the spoiled meat
|
|||
|
That was once a man
|
|||
|
A man who loved a woman
|
|||
|
She lies here beside me
|
|||
|
Hand clasped in mine
|
|||
|
The worms, our last friends
|
|||
|
They remember
|
|||
|
And mingle our dust
|
|||
|
The only consummation
|
|||
|
Of a love too great
|
|||
|
For death to overcome
|
|||
|
We lie beneath one monument
|
|||
|
She and I
|
|||
|
By a vow taken by our souls
|
|||
|
Though not our lips
|
|||
|
Plague stole her away
|
|||
|
But could not keep her from me
|
|||
|
Now at last
|
|||
|
I am hers
|
|||
|
And she is mine

Run

Run

Run away

Into black night

Into dark woods

Run
|

|
Run
|
|||

Thorns tearing
|

Ripping flesh

The blood flows
|

It
|

|
Runs
|

Runs
|

Runs down

Feels good

Pain clears your head

Calm, refresh, restore, invigorate

Run

Run

|
Breath grows short

Panting you stop

Walk back again

Meet your problems

Your friends your foes

"Guess Who"
|

|
----
|
|||
|
Death came softly, like a thief
|
|||
|
But more like an old friend who covers your eyes
|
|||
|
Disguises her voice, and makes you guess who
|
|||
|
I welcomed this visitor, felt no grief
|
|||
|
One who lives in pain doesn't mind when she dies
|
|||
|
The night only brought me some welcome relief
|
|||
|
You'll only understand if it happens to you.

"House Mouse"

|

Hurrying, scurrying
|

Tiny feet pattering
|

|
Searching for snacks on the kitchen floor
|
|||
|
On comes the light
|
|||
|
The others are scattering
|

Run away now, you'll come back for more

"Tremors"

The ground shakes below

Listen to the music of the Earth

Blasting
|

|
Worldwide rhythm
|
|||
|
We all shake in unison
|
|||
|
With the planet
|
|||
|
With each other
|

|
Cities crumble forming concrete heaps
|

|
But we shall rebuild them
|

Together we fall
|

|
Together we shall rise

I stand in the door, watching

Watching the people go by
|

With vacant eyes
|

With balnk faces
|
|||
|
They pass me by
|
|||
|
In a mindless dance
|
|||
|
They pass each among the others
|
|||
|
Never seeing
|
|||
|
Never touching
|
|||
|
A puppet choreography

"No Escape"
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
I took the pills, a handful
|
|||
|
Began to drift, welcoming darkness
|
|||
|
But the darkness lifted
|
|||
|
Replaced by sterile bright white
|
|||
|
When the tubes came out
|
|||
|
They took me away
|
|||
|
My new room has walls of rubber
|
|||
|
And they watch me
|
|||
|
And they watch me
|
|||
|
And I can't escape the pain
|
|||
|
And I share a cell with Napoleon

Clean suburban house
|
|||
|
Clean-cut family
|
|||
|
Nice neighborhood, but
|
|||
|
Down here, beneath
|
|||
|
Murky darkness
|
|||
|
Putrid filth
|
|||
|
I am unclean
|
|||
|
But I make them clean
|
|||
|
They need me, but
|
|||
|
They are ashamed
|
|||
|
I live beneath, ignored
|
|||
|
But beware
|
|||
|
One day I'll back up
|
|||
|
Revolt
|
|||
|
Puke up my filth
|
|||
|
On their spotless floor

"Joy Ride"
|

|
----
|
|||
|
Open road, far as the eye can see
|
|||
|
One hand on the wheel, the other one left free
|
|||
|
Cas pedal on the floor, accelerating
|
|||
|
Downshifting with your free hand, exceed the ratings
|
|||
|
Feel to power, feel the speed
|
|||
|
The wind in your hair is all that you need

FEAR
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
Help me
|
|||
|
it stalks me, hiding in the shadows of my
|
|||
|
corrupt soul, a being so hideous, it cannot be
|
|||
|
named.
|
|||
|
help me
|
|||
|
it reaches for me, clawing, ripping, seeking the one
|
|||
|
thing that it can truly reach, my heart
|
|||
|
Help me
|
|||
|
I run in fear, run, but to no avail, for it is
|
|||
|
Faster
|
|||
|
Stronger
|
|||
|
Smarter
|
|||
|
than I am, yet I try to escape
|
|||
|
Help me
|
|||
|
I try to hide, to cower in fear, hoping it will not find me
|
|||
|
but it always finds its Quarry, and flushes it.
|
|||
|
Help me
|
|||
|
I try to fight, try to keep it away, but it has caught me
|
|||
|
it has finally caught me. the beast has caught me
|
|||
|
Help me
|
|||
|
It tears apart me, not my body, not my heart, but my mind
|
|||
|
I scream
|
|||
|
I scream in anger, frustration pain
|
|||
|
at not being able to stop it, but my screams go unheard
|
|||
|
and the Beast Claims me.
|
|||
|
HElp me. Please.

blinding searing pain, cutting into me like a knife, over and over
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream, in torment, scream in pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Knives, cutting my soul, cutting my heart, i seek out the weilder yet he is
|
|||
|
invisible.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in torment, scream in pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
he weilds his knife with cruel efficiency, knowing exactly where to cut
|
|||
|
knows all the vulnerable spots.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in torment, scream in pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
he is slowly cutting me apart, piece by piece, and I cannot stop him, can
|
|||
|
i?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in torment Scream in pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
he cuts my mind, slicing through the memories of love, and sweetness, and
|
|||
|
drawing the blood of anger and pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in torment scream in pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
he cuts my heart, slicing through the love. slicing through the hope,
|
|||
|
drawing the blood of jealousy and hatred
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in torment scream in pain
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
He tries to cut my soul, but his knife meets the barrier, the barrier I set
|
|||
|
up to keep out love, to keep out others, has saved me
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in triumph
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
but the bladesman finds an opening, and cuts into my soul
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in fright
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I reach out, grab the bladesman, Pull his knife from his hand, and meet no
|
|||
|
one.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in Torment, I scream in pain.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I look at the knife, and see the weilder
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I scream in recognition
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(authors Note: you figure out who the bladesman is, its not hard, think on
|
|||
|
it..)

the hunted

|
----
|
|||
|
I am the hunted
|
|||
|
a hapless quarry, being sought out by a hunter
|
|||
|
I see him, he lifts his weapon, and aims
|
|||
|
I am frozen, I cannot move, yet death stares me in the Face
|
|||
|
he pulls on the trigger, a shot.

the light
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
I stumble about in the darkness, looking for escape
|
|||
|
I see a light
|
|||
|
the darkness created by myself, I wander around in it, lost, hopeless.
|
|||
|
I see a light
|
|||
|
the demons that took the light have left, not caring about me, my torment,
|
|||
|
yet I will to love
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I see a light
|
|||
|
a voice, a voice tells me that it is all right, to seek the light, for the
|
|||
|
darkness is not total, 'tis a shadow of myself
|
|||
|
I see alight
|
|||
|
I head towards the light, praying it is escape
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I see a light
|
|||
|
I reach the light, yet the pull of the darkness is strong, yet the light
|
|||
|
beckons, pleads.
|
|||
|
I see the darkness
|
|||
|
I see the light
|
|||
|
A struggle within myself, a struggle to hide in the darkness, or to face
|
|||
|
the light.
|
|||
|
I choose the light
|

sound of a heartbreak
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
ever hear the sound of a heart breaking?
|
|||
|
a sound so painful to the ears, some people refuse to hear it
|
|||
|
a sound so loud, yet some people are deaf to it
|
|||
|
I know what it sounds like, for I have heard it within my own chest
|
|||
|
ever hear the sound of a heart breaking?
|
|||
|
a sound rushes to my ears, a hollow sound, of an empty vessel
|
|||
|
a vessel, once full, that has been drained of all.
|
|||
|
ever hear the sound of a heart breaking?
|
|||
|
a sound, a sound of pain, of torment, a scream, so loud it rings in my
|
|||
|
ears, I look to see who else has heard it, no one has.
|
|||
|
Ever hear the sound of a heart breaking?
|
|||
|
a sound, a sound of death, a thing once alive has died, and no one weeps
|
|||
|
for it, because it has died alone.
|
|||
|
ever hear the sound of a heart breaking?

Shelter
|
|||
|
----
|
|||
|
I hide in My shelter
|
|||
|
let no one in, never leave it.
|
|||
|
yet I see her, looking at my shelter, yet seeing no one
|
|||
|
My hand quivers, I start to reach out, but I pull my hand back.
|
|||
|
I hide in my shelter
|
|||
|
a shelter I created because of the very people I watch
|
|||
|
yet, I want to let her in, but my mind has taken control of my heart
|
|||
|
I hide in my shelter
|
|||
|
and watch
