I think this is the last one I’ll write. They are hard and my mind’s rhythm works differently. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1406545/ This one is tough to analyze with the Cobain style lyrics. So if you want to know the meaning behind it, just ask. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1406540/ Dr. Seuss, down on the farm...heh, heh, heh http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1367992/ Just a little rock song http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1358616/ On a long flight home from San Diego recently, I plugged in the headphones and listened to Queens of the Stone Age's, "Like Clockwork" and NIN's, "Hesitation Marks". I closed my eyes and visualized.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1355686/ My first attempt at this one was total failure. My brain was scrambled. Thanks to Rita for gently giving me her honest opinion I took it down. I finally got around to re-writing, so here it is. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1355681/ Someone I was traveling with looked across a field from the car window and said, "Look at the creepy tree." This is the result. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1355679/ Though some factual information was used, THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. Do not get excited. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1293289/ I'd rather keep it to myself. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1293280/ Another one of my dreams. I watch too much horror apparently. These are always written first person, because I'm there. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1293277/ Have you ever made love in a cemetery? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1215059/ A dark love song....a Rock Song http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1211912/ It took me 4 months to write this. I had a severe case of writers block. I wrote the first 4 or 5 stanzas in about 30 minutes. Then didn't know where to go from there. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1181445/ "I see dead people. They're everywhere." (The Sixth Sense- 1999) http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1181418/ I record my dreams, meaning I write all of them down. Occasionally, I'll go through and edit what I've written. All are vivid exact descriptions of whatever I dream. Some could be called nightmares. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1181406/ The Maid of Orleans leads an army of peasants and commoners to battle. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1160874/ I take notes on my dreams. This is one of them. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1154394/ For Jeanne d'Arc http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1153719/ This is an old one about war. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1149358/ I channeled my best Bob Dylan impersonation for this one. It's a song about my first love from many, many years ago. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1140207/ My Vampyre How did you find me?And look into my soulAt my black momentWhen I knew the end was oh so near You gave me hopeYou saved me from this hollow graveAnd when I turned to youYou vanished just like a ghost     You're gone from me    (still .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1137498/ Be warned, this is not for everyone. I haven't shown this to anyone since it was written. I'm not sure it should ever be shared. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1136251/ I guess you could say, I was having a bout with depression when I wrote this. But I kept the creative juices flowing enough to put pen to my feelings. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1135715/ I wrote this for a friend, for her birthday. Pagan Derain is one of the corrections you get when 'spell checking' her name. The name sounds very gothic and mysterious and worked well for this. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1134634/ Many years ago, I lived next to a large cemetery. I used to run through the graveyard at night. It certainly kept my feet moving (lol). That was the inspiration for this poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1134617/ I was feeling particularly moody the night I wrote this. My prompt for this poem was from "Interview with the Vampire". Louis de Pointe du Lac: "What if all I have is my suffering, my regret?" http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Damien69/1134608/
