What This Forum Is About:

Do you have an artistic effort you can't find a place for anywhere? a poem, a greeting/anniversary/birthday card that you made yourself....whatever? This is the place for all art. If you desire criticism of your work please let us know. We will try to help you out. Or if you wish to just to share your creativity in the verbal, visual or aural media without in-depth criticism we'd love to experience it. There are no mandatory reply to post ratios in this forum but the social muses do suggest that giving response to the work of others will be rewarded tenfold.

I Must Inhale
All Words By : Stewart Alexander
ò Copyrighted 2011


Calm blue dawn arrives
With sunshine on her skin
My cenotaph writes itself
Everyday within

Taxi cabs and uniforms
Hide my sense of shame
For no-one ever loved me
Or spoke well of me in name

I breathe this morning light and dark
For I sense it to be stale
My days alone with fantasy
For that I must inhale

One purple legion follows me
From cradle to the grave
For my art my music poetry
All bleeds to make me slave

I love the girl in paperback
But that shelf is out of reach
Glass does form from heating sand
That glass one day I'll breach

Lot's of nice lines and imagery here, Stew, but I especially like,

"My cenotaph writes itselfEveryday within"

Hi Stewy,
Yep, I'm still breathing too. ;)
And your breath breathes life into your music and art works buddy.
I open my PC's Desktops to your beautiful creations every day.
Peace. :)

Stewie,

You write so well that sometimes I just get lost, because I keep staring at your avator...

Anyways, my favorite line was

I love the girl in paperback
But that shelf is out of reach


But wait, I'm not on a book :P I really like the title and underlying theme of having to inhale what you despise, because it's life. This would make a great song (hint hint)

Currently on the lookout for country lyrics in the style of Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, Zac Brown or any other crossover type artist. Not interested in traditional country.

Always on the lookout for great lyrics in general too :)
