My dear friend in the lake

I had a friend, a dear friend,

But now he is gone, taken away

And I am forever waiting,

waiting to see him again someday.

I remember his eyes; those eyes,

they caught the light in the most brilliant of ways,

they looked like fiery sparks in the darkest of nights

But the darkest night was actually morning.

I saw how they were suffering,

suffering with a terrible burden,

Wanting to stay until the next day,

until spring came.

But they left. He left.

Not being able to see me mourn,

Not being able to see the first blooming roses

Not being able to see the birds,

that flew over the lake he now resided in.

The next spring, fast approaching, it came

And just as fast as it arrived, so quickly it passed.

The roses that bloomed a vibrant red,

Almost as red as the blood on my hands,

they wilted away under the hot summer sun's rays

But the blood did not dry, it stayed and stained everything.

"it's so embarrassing you like that popular thing" "oh ew that geeky/strange thing is so cringe lol" "oh it's kind of weird you get excited about that harmless shit"

dude i love how ironic and jaded you are and that's so cool and sexy of you. and i am so so glad to tell you - you won!! we all had a meeting and we decided that you won, and we are writing your name on the inside of a burger king crown. the marker smeared, sorry, but we knew any form of real effort is ugly to you. but anyway. congrats! you are officially the coolest, most ironic, most jaded person in-the-world-right-now. we would throw you a party but you would think it was totally boring - and besides, we're weird so we wouldn't have been coming. we would have brought our love of beetles and of baking and of little canapes. we would have brought our artsy videogames and pages of writing. we would have written a poem with you, our hands covered in ink, and spread out a canvas to dance on, the night so lurid and pink.

but do not worry. we will not throw the party. we will just get you a ringlight and that crown i mentioned. it is a nice crown, except for where one of us dropped it.

the vote was a really hard one because we had so many cool ironic people to pick off the shelves. all of you have hands that rot fruit, how strange is that - you can't look at something without destroying it for other people. you like it when you can squeeze a person into a pinpoint - all us small ones scampering our little feet around our ugly joys. the vote was also a hard one because we kept our voices down because you don't like it when we talk too loud. you were on your phone at the time, talking to people other than us. you are a ghoul of every moment - half in, half out, you resent us for being here without shame or embarrassment.

so good news! we have invented an island for people like you. you get to go there and speak into the air things like if you still like watching harmless twitch streamers in 2023 you're fucking boring. you will say things like liveplay podcasts are fucking ugly and it's kind of awkward they try to make everything gay. on the island we made you, all of your words will have weight. they will form in the air like icicles, large white behemoth letters that will crumple in anvils around your feet. maybe we will send someone there once in a while to sweep, but honestly you might be there for a while, alone, waiting. we are busy being outside looking for mushrooms and flapping our hands and humming. we are busy kicking our little heels while we watch cringey tv. we are busy - sorry! as an apology, we have pre-filled the island with every bland, mediocre, unscented thing we could find. the island has the texture of american cheese. the island has an ocean that never gets angry. the island is perfect for you, trust me. you will be so happy there - as happy as you can be, ironically.

we want to say we are sorry for doing harmless things that you find annoying, childish, or unappealing - but we are not sorry. we thought we could help you, because we don't mind laughing at ourselves, but it turns out you are allergic to color and noise and atmosphere, so this is the best that we can do for now. we are all making a big shirt that says i voted in the ironic monarchy. we got you one that is just a fast fashion buttondown. i am so excited for you and this island and the big life you have won. you have a cool jaded grey life and miles of irony to roam. i love you! be well.

now leave us alone.

#spilled ink #writeblr #slam poetry #i started this as a joke and ended up taking after #the poem about all the women in the world meeting in the bathroom #i can't find it to link it directly i've been googling for like 15 minutes if someone can remember #turns out frantically googling the only lines like ''women meeting in the bathroom''#''secret womens meeting you always believed happened" is not useful for . to search??? help :(#also the reason this says harmless so many times is bc like #this is 100% about like #yeah man when ppl are mean about ppl enjoying things like. fuckin lady gaga #like this is so obviously about ppl who steal ur joy for no reason (i WILL steal ur joy if ur a bigot btw)#also yes it's bc someone was like ''liking the mcelroys in 2023 is cringe''#and im like. dude what the fuck literally just let people like things it's LITERALLY not that deep.#like i dont like centipedes theyre one of like the 2 bugs im squicked out by ... but like.#if u really like centipedes. im like so happy for you. i hope you can put socks on ur centipedes #so they can speedclean ur floors. that would be fun and cool!!!#i love u i hope all of you have a weird passion i love you i hope that passion fills your life like soap bubbles

a. e. housman, from 'hell gate'

#back on my bullshit!! here's more housman poetry that makes me howl loudly about lotr!#if you havent read the full poem of hell gate you should. go read it. it genuinely ruins me #mostly bc so much of a e 'morbid secretions' housman poetry is sad but this one has such a kernel of hope in it #not unmixed but like. it's one of the only instances of him imagining a happy gay ending and it's such a powerful one #go to hell for being gay but your boyfriend is there already and he shoots the literal devil with a gun and WINS and you walk out together #lotr #samfrodo #samfro #a e housman #gay belligerence #lotr anthology #described in alt text

Did he who made the Lamb make thee? - this is heavily referencing Jacques Fabien Gautier d'Agoty's "Anatomical Angel" illustration, it's also inspired by William Blake's art, specifically "The Great Red Dragon" and his poem "The Tyger"

#art #painting #original character #artists on tumblr #wolfgang #artistic nudity #id in alt #happy peeled wolfgang wednesday once again!!!!!!§#very happy to have this finished!!#i will be smart and not write an essay in the tags abotu this and instead write a separate post so look out for that #i know the tyger is like lit 101 but ive always really loved the poem and the progression of it. it just stuck with me for so long #robot fuckers i hope you find this

credits: x. x. x. x. x. x. x. x. x. x.

#uh. it has not been done yet right?#because the whole thing was kickstarted by another nicke post with a caption that read something like #“he really did say do NOT weep on my grave you're so annoying”#but i cant find it anymore #edit: found it! tysm @lafragolina <3 #& by association i did not find other edits w nicke and this poem in particular #so i hope i did not rip anyone off -- in case let me know i'll delete #apropos of this poem i don't know how common knowledge it is (i did not know for once but i also do not read poetry that often so)#it is often attribuited to the wrong author one mary elizabeth frye who used to hand out copies of this poem w her name attached to it #she even changed some lines! anyway i linked the wiki article if you wanna check out more info -- its interesting #nicklas backstrom #nicklas bäckström #alexander ovechkin #washington capitals #nickeovi #819 #hockey rpf #hockey poetry

parents are really fascinating creatures. theyll watch this thing they brung into existence Stop eating Stop cleaning Stop going outside Stop doing much of anything Without being able to explain and theyll go Hm. Clearly This Thing Is A Spoiled Brat.

#like boss......read th room #like its really fascinating. would love to study it. but unfortunately ;#piktalk #every so often i think of that poem. or story. abt the little girl who was heavily depressed;#and her dad drove for hours through the night to get her almost out of season plums. because it might give her the hope to keep living.#because they wanted her to feel loved and safe and seen and heard.#i think about it sometimes.#anyway post cancelled once again thinking abt 'dad why do you have beef with me im 4 i love you'

Cyr here to report, ma'am. You ask, I deliver:

A Challenge To The Dark

shot in the eye shot in the brain shot in the ass shot like a flower in the dance

amazing how death wins hands down amazing how much credence is given to idiot forms of life

amazing how laughter has been drowned out amazing how viciousness is such a constant

I must soon declare my own war on their war I must hold to my last piece of ground I must protect the small space I have made that has allowed me life

my life not their death my death not their death…

my life not their death

my death not their death…
