View Full Version : Phantom Limb
Phantom Limb-
A single dol invariable to one hit after another
Giving way to the crashing waves of the latter
Bridged fortuitously of such impervious carnage
Thereby ensuing events, sharply implying
Such righteous and just noticeable differences
The effects of one "soul" cause, colored by sentiment
Breeds a sonic wave of discernible correspondence
Greeted through opaque windows of time
Gilded eyes regard such ravenous penchant for pity
Employing the senses of what was once a tactile measurement of reference
Recoiling from the likes of their own pigmented apparitions
Insurgent waves of frightened spectators
Batter the shore of sublime stupidity
Undistinguishable from the faculties of the mind
Casting doubt upon the masses
As the snake pitches its own skin
Leaving behind a phantom limb...
By Kym L. Nelson
Between Two Fires-
Plagued by impending despondency
overwrought with reeling thoughts,
not withstanding the backsliding words of the absolute.
How to explain the obscure
thereupon imbued on the innocence of divine progeny,
raped from the salad days of spring?
Consumed my heart by this blight of such malignant despair.
Death in life taken residence upon my shattered conceptions
seated deeply amid the texture of this void, weeping between two fires.
Foreboding angst splintering the fabric of familiarity
so shamelessly stripped without warning.
Leaving this wreckage to be rearranged….
By Kym L. Nelson
Energy Obscured-
Idiosyncratic as mortal we are
Diminutive reflections of the sum total
This in itself is incipiently infinite
Unequalled in being
Yet no difference in principle
We engage in this dance of energy exchange
Some conscious but most not
Interdependence
Intertwined as the fabric of our being
Woven as one
Transiently infiltrating the Cadre Of Truth
Whereupon colliding infractions are splintered by friction
Consequently pushing the integrity of these circumscribe illusions
No refuge accessible in this carnage
Fashioned within our self imposed external façade
Rapturously these sagacious beams infiltrate the soul
Echoing resounding laminations
From within the core
At this vantage point
Everything is brilliantly clear
Energy begets energy
Until it ultimately implodes onto itself
Forming anew
Transmuting these experiences colored by emotions
Drawn upon various shades of the obscure
By Kym L. Nelson
crooning suits fetching the collective...
therein lining the grey attic
conceived in martyrdom
masquerading these false prophecies
within saccharine laced hymens
baring nebulous parables to the wary and confused
candidly within this compound
decrepit syllables slide off such forked tongues
staining the eyes of pearls
inconspicuously leaving behind impressions of half-truths
bitter to the taste
yet arousing conceit upon the crest of complacency
driving home
the nails

Brilliant stuff...ever done any song/lyric writing?....can you sing?
Brilliant stuff...ever done any song/lyric writing?....can you sing?
Well thank you my friend!
So... how'd ya know I sing?
I have had three pieces published in a little art magazine, as well as, a couple in a new music rag. I was approach a little over a year ago from the owner of Music Monster Entertainment- Brian Lake, whom eventually became a good friend of mine. He started to lay down tracks for a piece I did, which I'll post latter. He was going to fly me out to his studio in Flagstaff, but my man was NOT ok with me spending a couple weeks alone with a male friend whom had feelings for me, so I cut ties. I thought about opening up the lines of communication with MME again, I don’t know?
Sighhh... :(
I tell ya, it's tuff for a woman in that industry who demands to be respected while working along side men and only asking to be acknowledged via my merits and brains and NOT my T & A !!!
Always on the look out for genuine honest people to work with...

I just had a feeling you might have written lyrics and sung. Sometimes
goes hand-in-hand with poets.
I know what you mean about the 'music industry', it has got to be harder for
women to establish themselves.
I've done the whole 'sitting in studios for days' thing and getting records
pressed-up thing several years ago. It was very ego-orientated, but i did
learn a lot from it.
Nowadays i just do my own stuff at my own pace, in my own mini studio,
no need for help from anyone. If i manage to make anything 'good enough' i
will do my own promoting, pressing etc if necessary.
Anyway, i'm sure you'll get some good breaks as time goes on, good music
speaks for itself, and is appreciated when the 'right people' get to check it
out.
More of my crazy ramblings...
Into the marrow, drawn upon within the apex, influx of braided strands parted therein- hinged by the greater reason. This temporal bone which bends posteriorly, splintered towards the terminal end of dorsal horn and spinal cord.
Torque drawn in a lingual direction, piercing displacement, spasmodic contraction indwelling from my latent sleep. Bellicose lust impaling wide spread radial idiom from raping mandibles. Bleeding through incisions sewn by lies, compromising the integrity of the pulse of my mortality.

Your poems sounds like they come from the heart, but then good poems have to in my oppinion.
If you dont mind me asking, have you lost a limb? Your avatar seems to show that you have lost an arm. I guess this is a kind of far out question, but have you experienced grabbing stuff with your lost arm, without noticing at first?

Thank you!
Yes, all of my stuff is drawn from my own personal experiences, deep within my core. Writing helps keep me sane. Eventually one day I will write a book.
Pertaining to your question... actually I have not lost a limb, although my pic does look that way:D. My body is a bit different though. That poem refers to my own evolution- ie, leaving behind my old facade, breaking through to the core of my true identity so to speak.;)

what self indulgent shite.
what self indulgent shite.
Actually no.
I personally don't find that working through feelings while trying to gain a better understanding of "self" is shit, nor reflecting with the intentions of bettering oneself, therefore hopefully improving ones flaws, is self indulgent. That’s just my perspective, we all see things differently which is what makes life so colorful.
Ultimately, what really matters is being true to ones self and accepting everything therein(flaws and all). When you get to that place of self acceptance, then you have nothing to prove and can laugh along side everyone else, even if you’re the target of criticism.
It all good, take care!
Well thank you my friend!

Trust ? a much ,maligned word like love , didn't he trust you enough to be yourself and follow your dream , or was it that he didn't trust the guy , did he think you where in danger of some sort ?I dont trust anyone in the sense that i dont believe in mistrust .Trust doesn't enter into it .I trust in letting people be who they are and whatever they do is the right thing for them no guilt no shame no recriminations ,and that doesn't mean betrayal or infidelity , that just means acknowledging our true freedom to be in the now.This stems from deep insecurity and jealousy on my part long time ago and working thru that .Self indulgent shite i think its called lol . But it works for me and mine .Love is and we shouldn't worry about the rest .
Still it led you to this point so there was a lesson in it for you , Start up doing local gig's have you got a my space page to promote your stuff, the independent approach is the better option .

You are 100% correct.
Being that this is my second marriage and my husbands first, not to mention that I am 6 years older than he; I have found myself in this instance (trust issues stemming from a low sense of self based completely out of fear) on the other side of the track, and in my attempts of being empathetic to his perspective, I have found I went to the other extreme of catering- due to my old guilt around my past possessiveness. Can you say Karma- HA!
Nam myho renge kyo!
P.S. Unfortunately promotion skills I I do lack, especially when aproaching my stuff...

Well you do seem to be hiding something on the picture, but you got very nice tatoos there :) I will read your poems again and keep an eye on this thread. Thanks for sharing.

Ha, ha... I got a secret and I'm not telling-:p
And thanks, I just put in another 15 hours of outlining on my back piece. Holy crap- I think I bit off more than I can chew, as usual:D
