Creative Endeavors / Ode To An APATHETIC KNAVE

ODE TO AN APATHETIC KNAVE


O apathetic knave, with the golden brown eyes.
Go on and pull the cape swiftly over their eyes.
You doth feign care only for those that can get you somewhere.
You shall pay the price for your lack of foresight.

O apathetic knave, with strong arms.
Superficially you appear to be tough.
However, you are just a weak coward, hobbling along.
They'll see right through your mask sooner or later.

O apathetic knave, perhaps someday the tables will turn.
You shall feel a burn, a prick, perhaps a twinge.
Till then, play on o apathetic knave.

Creative Endeavors / The Knife-Keeper
« on: August 07, 2004, 08:58:50 am »
I've been writing extemporaneous poetry in my journal for years, mostly as a way to get out sad or frustrated feelings.  It is hard for me to write when I am happy.  So I guess writting gloomy poetry is my therapy for when I am feeling blue.  I've always wanted to share some of my work, but I was afraid of hurting or embarassing people close to me or myself since my writting is so personal.  But seeing all the beutiful stuff people have shared here, I think I am ready to share some of my stuff.

Here's one I wrote a few days before my first real love and I parted ways for the last time.


The Knife-Keeper
 
See how the sun reflects off the shiny blade.
Blinded by the gloomy glow, I stroke the firm, contoured handle.
‘How sweet it would be,’ I mutter to myself.
The tears pour, transforming to blood as they drop onto the sleek blade.
Tipping the blunt point at just the right angle,
I see your blue eyes, gazing obliviously away from me.
I’m not really there.
How come I am always the one holding the knife,
Adorning it with a soft, satiny sheath, while you gaze at it now and again.
The sun’s setting, turning the blade’s reflection from it’s reddish yellow gloom to a cold, gray glisten.
Forever, the knife-keeper, it is time to sleep with my eyes open.

According to Mtv.com..
Quote

Maroon 5, Yellowcard, All-American Rejects, Vanessa Carlton and Fabolous are among the artists who have autographed tank tops to benefit MusicEdge and Ban's fight to keep music programs in schools. The shirts will be auctioned off on eBay on August 5. ...

There's not much detail.. The auction happens just in time for White Houses to hit radio.

Other Musicians / The Get Up Kids
« on: July 25, 2004, 02:32:55 pm »
Hey, I was wondering if anyone here is a fan or has heard of the Get Up Kids..They've been around since the 90's...
Their genre is kinda punk/alternative rock-like....
The only song of theirs I really know well is "I'll catch you" which is a bittersweet  piano song...not typical of their overall style(as far is my understanding).  I love this song. I actually first heard it in college a few years back when an a capella group did a rendition of it.  It really touched me.  :cry:

Anyways the released a new album this year, I think.  I was just wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this band.

Introduce Yourself / Samantha is my name
« on: July 12, 2004, 04:55:02 pm »
Hi all NESSAholics,

 I just joined this forum, but I can assure everyone here that I have been a Vanessa fan ever since I first saw the ATM music video in January of 2002.  Be Not Nobody has been the sound track of my life in a lot of ways.  I have introduced many of my friends and family to Vanessa's music and will continue to spread the word.

 Some of you might recognize me from the official boards where I also post under "VaderDawsn".  I look forward to chatting with everyone here and Vanessa's newest album :D
Very Happy
