Alright, here's something I wrote probably about 6 months ago. Most of the rhymes are technically incorrect, and there is no rhythm nor metre... It's structurally weak, as I knew nothing of structure at the time.
Anyway, this thread has to start somewhere. Perhaps seeing how poor my effort was will at least break the ice, and prompt someone else to post something...
Quantified Dreams
Surrounded by desolate plains, slight undulations barely visible
Plagued by claustrophobic nightmares, denying anything visceral
as far too intangible, deluded by grandeur (all these animals)
My feet concreted in sand, struggle forgotten, now so bland
Reality out of focus, beyond reach... or is my vision blurred?
Turn my head there's a ticket booth, melancholic music purrs
Red and blue circus stripes intrigue my black and white eyes
A sign up above reads "Ride entry. Ticket price: Your mind"
Formulaic whirlwind begins, my calculated logic now spins
Lost for ground to follow such spontaneous whims, Yet I grin
That cheshire smile, no place amongst files nor measured miles
Electrical impulses hit my nerves, and I swerve to avoid denial
Flying upwards, mental intervention curiously vacant
Mouth wide open, my chin melts onto the pavement
The delicate dance of non-encumbered circumstance
Multitudes of hearts pierced by a single lance
Make way for romance, mermaids lull me with lust
Archaic eyes fall from my head, hit the water, turn to dust
Blinded now free, the ride takes a sharp downward fall
I seem stalled yet I'm standing, head glued to the nearest wall
Upside down exit flashes before me, I cry tears of desire
The fire slowly drowns, the price of entry rises higher
Futile again I slump, decaying eyes almost non-existant
Reasonous conquest soars, my heart rots with persistance.
