VELOURIA'S LITTLE HOUSE OF DREAMS
 
 
Hey everyone,
I'm velouria, I got the name from my favourite pixies song, I'm a poet, an artist, a singer and a sucker for techno. I'll be sharing my poetry with all of you and if I have space, my best monologue.
My poetry isn't very straightforward or to the point, so bear with me, I think in metaphors. Other than that, I work as a stage manager at a university
Please e-mail me with your opinions of my work, I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll write back.
Any criticism is encouraged, whether its good or bad so feel free to rip into my work or compliment it.
All I ask is that you don't plaigerize it. that would be like selling my memories for your own personal amusement. I really wouldn't appreciate that much.

Read some poems, all untitled, don't usually rhyme
POEM 1 goes out to Karl
Somewhat indescribable, inspiration is his gift,
scared of what I may or may not represent,
and the risk is quite seductive.
We want, feel and covet,
and cannot deny this desire.
But denial is what he represents,
and we ache because of it.
the certain restraints are indefinable,
though I rule out the possibility,
that the simplest and easiest explanation,
is at all the answer.
Why do we covet, what we cannot have,
and reject what is within our grasp;
without consequences.
or is the parting, what we fear most of all?
inevitable, but what bliss, we could share
as none have done without regret
The cause and effect would justify the meaning,
and the shared acts of passion
whether a kiss, a caress, a soft word spoken
without hesitation and with the fullest intentions
such grace is a gift, not a curse
to be embraced until time runs out
run later, we are here, now, with the opportunity,
To make it last forever . . .

POEM 2
falling drops of acid rain
ceaceless floods of bitter pain
what brings out the masochist in you?
the difference between false and true?
slow it down some, get a better look
Do you like what you see??
Do you really see me?
Am I a pretty little face?
Something you'd like to chase?
lovely little malancholy chick,
I hate my face, don't want your dick
boy, you best pray that I bleed
I don't have the energy to fill your need
desperate thoughts that fill your head,
my words spilt in tones of red
you're the poet, I'm the muse?
pick a role, its time to choose

POEM 3
You're allseeing eyes continue to wander
the endless night,
where gods once danced upon our dreams
and your curiousity unviels the realm of fear,
that you can no longer hide
behind false joys, unmistakeable sorrows
and the strange sudden fury forced us to face the slow driven loss, and the acrid eyes of youth
turn cold to drums and flutes
the music has changed, meaning the same
and taken over by the slaves.
we no longer have loyalty to a soaring dream of endless wonder
and the actors confess before you,
withholding discretion,
the splendor of softspoken words,
misunderstood, by an ignorant million

__Velouria__

POEM 4
Bow down to the division of self,
all oneness lost to the divine.
Beads of pity fall to the floor,
the intricate pattern, the careful design
forming the cause of belief
pure and simple in truth
awaiting my final trial
description of worthiness growing anew
truth embedded, no longer denies
the wretch yet quiet of self centered cries
unhonored from the effort put forth
wept from the wrath of long before
remorse for the fate ahead
fear of the future, witnessed with dread
riding on fear, feeding the change
change for the wrong reasons,
while the future remains.

POEM 5
golden copulations in streets of L.A.
lying, soft mad children
in the midst of a denial
and modern day poisoned
by the emptiness of our saddened eyes
declarations of power
tear at the fraying truth . . .
embedded in lies
lost are all the glorious passions
we once embraced with the blind faith of a guilded youth
now tattered, torn,
and we stroke the long gone fancy
of a beautiful memory,
a time of discovery
the unknown an adventure
the truth accepted with dignity
and reduced to a viable option
living in as secret world
the ones before us could not understand

. . . and we danced our illustrious night
while the sleepers awoke after dawn

__Velouria__
POEM 6
not so much denying
as truth is understanding
yet the irony of truth
is that even though
tis not appealing
co-existance is a possibility
the desire to be at peace
with ones environment
accompanies with it
guilt of the accomplishment
hence; chaos, anarchy, pain, conflict, suffering,

reflected inward . . .
doesn't fulfill or make the strife
any easier
self destruction magnifies,
the ills we try to escape from
creating a confinement
entirely based on
what we were retreating from in the first place

__Velouria__

I hope you liked my work, It means more to me than my petty existance in itself.




 
This is for someone special, Someone who did the right thing in a time of confusion. Thank you and don't forget me.

After that brief occurance,
I find myself alone,
again ... remembering the sweet smell of his cologne
I'd catch it on a breeze somewhere random,
without warning

And with that scent
followed the soft memories of him
how gentle his touch was to my face,
and his hand brushing against mine when she wasn't looking
the warmth of his skin
made me forget a thousand sorrows
and made a thousand joys, seem insignificant
The depth of his stare returning mine,
said all the words I wanted to hear
and those he never would've said
and I'm grateful he didn't

So here I am,
those gentle eyes gone
those soft lips gone
the little considerations he made,
just to remind me he cared
all gone

I've accepted that loss
the loss of someone who wasn't mine to begin with
but our brief shared moments
were all i wanted
If I could have those days over to spend,
I'd leave things as they are and were

But with the sweet smell of his cologne to remind me
