The rumble of talk fills the room. A man walks up with a slow gait, full of energy and light, his step ever so slight. He looks around, his hair slicked back, his eyes filled with to the brim with simple sound. He sports the wear of a man who knows who is, confident and the gait of a lion within its lair. The rumble of talk fills the room, for the lights goes dim, and lighters flicker in the darkness, only a slight glow does loom. His yearning eyes gaze once more searching for that one gal. His stalking eyes look about, and for he knew the end of the wait was near, he could feel the one he sought. He steps down from the wooden stage, his eyes filled with a tiger’s rage. He sees her in all her beauty, the light unaware of her form so right. His gait-the leopard’s stalk, eying his prey, her form so right, set straight under jet black hair the color of charcoal’s chalk. The rumble of talk simmers down, as he approaches his beautiful lady set apart in her gown, like a lamb in lamb in a wild cat’s groun’. He sets his hand upon her own, bringing her closer to the stage, freeing her from a dreary cage. His gait, a cheetah’s speed, for he is of the sun’s own seed. He speaks, his eyes so bright, his hair slicked back, hanging from his ear a silver ring, his voice speaks like the scorpion’s sting.

“To you my love, “

With a click of his hands, the lights do die, and a spotlight so right comes upon his being. The glimmer doesn’t die from eyes even in the blinding sea of light.

To you my love
I show you my song.
To you my love
my passion’s throng.

To you my love.
I strip away my cool
To you my love
I give my heart’s rule.

To you my love
I light my body’s flame
To you my love
Burn me with your name

To you my love
I show my song
To you my love
Right my every wrong.

Then he stood awaiting his heart’s desire, not knowing what should be for he was not given the gift to look at future’s sea.

[Togechukku]

The rains of blood flow,
Down from the sky.
The redness that stains,
Down from upon high.
Darkness is eternal,
Light then does sigh,
For death goes on willingly,
Away it does cry…

[Lady Knight of Shaylir]

(Awww, Sweet poem Tyger. mesa likes. "*is killed by Jar Jar fans*" ^_~)

With careful nervous steps a young woman steps up to the mic. She scans the audience with eyes that are like pools of emerald ice. They flicker momentarily with apprehension as she brushes a wisp of short auburn hair out of her weather-tanned face. With shaking hands she unfolds a piece of scratch paper and begins to read from it. (This is a sonnet, Btw. o.O;;)

To make a statement in a profound way
One must stop to ponder life's real meaning
Or consider what love is if you may
Or maybe find why hope is so fleeting

To be profound is not an easy task
From my own expierence I say that
Why not? A great many people may ask
That is what I am about to get at

One can not force themselves to be profound
It's something that only comes on a whim
It also takes knowledge from what I've found
And a cup of coffee filled to the brim

The moment you give up, I'll guarentee
Profound thoughts will be flying right to thee

[anonym0usie]

A smallish, “pleasantly plump” male of Oriental heritage dressed in black carpenter jeans and a gray polo t-shirt stumbles onto the stage, coughing and wheezing due to all the smoke in the room. He drags his feet to the microphone, takes a sip of his Evian, and then runs his hand through his scraggly, short jet-black hair as he looks around the room with his small, terror-filled brown eyes. “I’m new to the poetry scene,” he says in a shy, timid voice while he nervously grinds his brown-leather sandal clad feet into the imaginary pits he has imagined into the stage floor. “But I’ve tried my best to share with you a little piece of me.” Then, taking a big breath, he closes his eyes and speaks…

“I Once Thought…”


I once thought that time would grant me superpowers
“When I grow up,” I said,
“I could be like Spider-Man, Superman even!
I just have to wait for high school.”

I once thought that the best was in store for me
“When I grow up,” I said,
“I’ll be in Harvard, Yale, Princeton…
I just have to wait to be #1.”

I once thought that I would be a superstar
“When I grow up,” I said,
“I can be a singer, a tennis star, a TaeKwonDo Master!
I just have to wait to become better!”

I once thought that I had my whole life ahead of me.
“When I grow up,” I said,
“I can be…
I just have to wait…”

I once thought that time was my friend
Would wait ‘til I was ready.
I was wrong.

I now know that time is not an entity at all
“When is now,” I say,
“I can be whatever I want
I just have to make my own time.”

“Thank you,” he says, before scurrying off the stage into the comfort and safety of his seat in the shadowy-est corner of the room.

[firepokemon]

10 years ago today I was seven years old, with three of my friends, we walked along the railway, not knowing what dangers would be ahead, laughing talking about what we'll do when we grow up, having so many dreams, having so many hopes.

Walking along the railway laughing and teasing each other, having no worries at all, pushing each other and laughing our heads off, not caring, not wanting to care.

Train speeds along the track track, we're laughing, we're teasing, we see the train, the train keeps moving, wheels going round, train moving, then one of us is left on the track, he's got his foot stuck, and the trains getting closer.

And I'm screaming trying to run over to him, but they're holding me back, and theres nothing I can do, but wait for whats going to happen, and hes crying, and he looks at me, and the train hoots his horn, and he keeps looking, and he looks, and the train goes over him.

And each of those carriages going over him, blood is splattered everywhere, the train is well gone now, didn't even bother to stop, and there he is, not recognisable, and we're looking at each other, thinking it's all a dream, but it's reality.

And 10 years has past, and all I can do is think of that day, the day that changed my life. So much guilt is inside me, I could of saved him, but they stopped me. The other two they don't seem to care but I did, he was my best friend.

And that best friend is gone, and I just keep looking at those eyes, wondering if he'd still be here today, I blame myself for what happened, I knew not to go on it, my parents warned many times, the parents of my best friend, won't even acknowledge me when I'm walking down the street, and everyone else in high school is so happy, they don't seem to have the worries, and those two other friends of mine, they're in the football team, where I should be, but getting near them, just makes me swallow pity

Life changes so much in those 10 years but those eyes keep staring at me, I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming, and I picture that day in my dreams, I picture his foot getting stuck, and I picture myself trying to help, but I get held back, and hes crying and hes looking at me, and the train keeps moving and train goes over him and each carriage rides over, and then the train vanishes, and this bloodied lifeless unrecognisable body is left.

10 years ago my life has changed, but for my best friend, he never got to have a life, he never got to get his first kiss, never got to go to the Prom, never went on a date, never be the Detective he wanted to be. For he had only started life, and that life was stopped, while I have life, but I'm not using it.

Those eyes keep staring at me, in my dreams, he stares, when I'm on the bus to school, he stares, hes watching me, I can see him, I saw him and I couldn't help him. Haunted eyes keep staring, haunted eyes keep following, life must go on. But that look in his eyes, those eyes of his and then theres that bloodied lifeless body. And then theres him crying staring into my eyes. I see those eyes.

I like those poems you've all written. Toge yours is really short but it had so much impact.

Tyger yours was kinda sad. In a good way though.

Poetry is such a forgotten art. Quite sad really.

[Togechukku]

Erm... yeah, another poem thingy that I just did. Its a bit weird.

Control

When you loose everything,
And the night gone away,
And far away a bird does sing,
Together pianos play.
For life is a certain thing,
And it goes on each day.
Even if you are the king,
Not even you have a say…
In how life does it's dancing,
And which way it may sway,
For life is prancing…
Far, far away…

Life is out of control...

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

A cough comes from the direction of the stage as a newcomer stands holding a tattered paper in his hand. His tanned skin is a direct contrast to the white coat he wears and the immaculate harvard shirt underneath. Strands of dark black hair frame his face emerald green eyes shining with a bit of nervousness. "Uh..hi." He mutters into the microphone. "I..uh...thought I would share a little poem with you guys." He takes a deep breath. "So uh...here I go."


Invisible Heart

Cold logic. Tangled emotions. An icy enigma.
That is what you show.
Blue strands of unruly hair frame a slender face.
A face as pale as the moon, a mysterious beauty to behold.
Glowing crimson orbs shine from blank features.
Two windows into her very soul, a soul filled with confusion.
It wanders her icy depths, seeking that which she cannot find.
The invisible heart that contains her emotions.
Her unseen heart that houses her true self.
Tender emotions. Unexplained longings. An answer to a question not asked.
They burn like fire within her heart.
Slowly melting the icy mask from her face.
Revealing the tender soul hidden beneath.
Ayanami Rei.
An Invisible Heart.
A Heart beating withing a shell of a body.

Rolls the papers up and puts it in his pocket before walking off the stage.

[tygerofdanyte]

great poems everyone. now i reply :D

i'll go from the latest poem to the ealiest, seeing that's the way the vb seems to order the posts 0.o

prof jb. wolf: jon becaulier Wolf. WHoo, its been a long time since i've seen you on this board or any board or any im prog for that ^^:;. how have you been? if by any stray chance you post another poem or just post , please do give me your im (or im me on msn or aim at tygerofdanyte@Hotmail.com or tygerofdanyte, respectivel). so we could talk and such. now about your poem. very poetic, but it some how doesn't flow completely. you tend to suddenly put in words that don't blend with the rest of the text, example "orbs" hmm i can't seem to suggest another word aside from eyes, but heh ^^;; go figure. there are a few more instances. although i must say this is the first time i'm seeing a poem on ayanami rei. anime character, if i remember right. very short term memory ^^:;

togechukku: not at all wierd toge. Its actually very interesting view. ALthough it looks to have come out of a more depressed person than the very hyper, active also hyperactive person that is you, ooh i forgot to mention pesky =P (gotcha back for that aim convo) anyway back to your poem. it was interesting. a nice way of looking at life. but heh you sure did put me in perspective by calling life a certain THING. emphasis on thing ^_~. interesting view on the world. although i don't usually agree with constant A-B rhyme structure (that is using the same type of rhyme ever time) it had a very dulling presence to it. interesting. if something's wrong. i'm almost always on aim or msn. so you can talk to me if ya want to.

konnix: *cringes as i look at your bloody and wet hands* ^_~ feuding wih someone? err its a good poem. best poems are done with emotion. like yours.i can feel the emotion bursting through the words. I could feel how much you wanna kill this guy =P it scares me ^^;; but its good poetry. oh change the word "Ran" in line five to "run" so it makes more sense, unless thats what you were driving for ^_~.

firepokemon: heh, sad in a good way. XD. pathetic fellow isn't he-the guy in my poem. I used to be him, well i sitll am, but i'm less pathetic now. I don't have a earring in my ear at least ^^;; I'm not that hyper, okay maybe i am. but meh. but i digress. on to your poem. I LOVED IT. I love any poem done in paragraph format. Although i loved the writing style, the poem in itself was sad. You brought the mood from a happy one and then you crush it like a flower in a closed fist. it was very interestnig. ALmost seemed real. bah, i speak too much ill ~_~. OH well it was very sad and you put it out in a beautiful manner.

mousie: aww that is so true. i know what your feeling alex. heh, i also felt a few of those things. i wanted to be the terminator when i was growing up though =P i could become liquid :D.

Shaylir: profound is as profound does. err heh, i tried to say something profound but failed miserably. all i could do was take "stupid is as stupid does" and change it to "profound is as profound does" it does make some sense, but not much ^^;; heh, your poem was interesting. but you forgot to spell check it =P. although i agree with the whole bit about coffee. it is a must for deep thinkers. i mean look at us poetic ppl here ^_~.

togechukkU: hey again. now that is graphic. Never thought i could see a bloody sky :-P but i can now ^_~ interesting way to show death as well. i agree with FP on this. i mean its short but damn does it have impact.
~~~~~

heh now for my poem.

A boy short in stature, but tall in soul walks with an air of innocence ot the stage. HIs eyes flicker with light. He eyes the crowd with daunting eyes, almost daring them to say something. BUt he does not give them a choice, as his tiny pre-pubescent voice voice, a shrill tone.

"I have something to tell you all."

The voices died down in kind yet playful accomodation, yet there were a few snickers here and there from a few of immature age.

He started again.

" i wanted to read this poem, I wrote.

I had a little puppy.
I called him fluffy
I washed him every day
We talked from APril to May.
It was a lot of fun
We used to run
in the morning.
and i heard a ring
from a bell on his collar.
but now i miss her.
It became sick
it was something to do with the superhero Tick.
SO he was sick but he died
i was said then mommy told me he was near god's side
So i'm happy for this little puppy
He was mine and I called him fluffy."

WIth this, he got up and ran down the steps and out the door and was never seen again.

~~~~

err this was kind of hard, tryign to write from a kid's perspective. i would have thought it would be easy. but it was hard ;-; heh usually my poems end up looking like they were writtenby a 8 year old. but this time i'm PROUD to say that I tried to make it look like it was written by a 8 year old ^^:;

[dratinihaunter13]

hooray for the poetry corner! *flips on a few of the lights in the back, keeping the room somewhat dim, but not like a frickin' grave*. and poetry and darkness just seems like such a nice combination doesn't it? well don't forget to swivel your head, squint to hard and it'll look like drivel. A wincing bard may have words to give, but one learns to live with ambivalence. Listen.

"Imaginary Confession"

You always keep me guessing.
Keep pressing, please, keep pressing.
My guesses have me losing.
Time presses, then the bruising.

The time to heal returning.
Alive to keep discerning.
Returning hints emerging.
Returning hints with yearning.

Fearing calls not existing.
Fearing falls, then resisting.
This existance keeps on regressing,
To resist any progress, now I am confessing:

I want to love you and be loved.
I want to see you every day.
Don't want these feelings shoved away.
I'm missing you in every way.

I'm writing to hide it.
I'm trying to fight it.
My feelings are true,
But I'm running despite it.

I'm longing to right it.
I'm wrong and I know it.
I love your whole person.
Now why can't I show it?

Forget all the guessing,
I want your heart pressed next to mine.
I love you, all right?

"And Everything in Between"

It takes More than Less than enough,
To create Something from Nothing,
And with Overwhelming Understanding,
We are Left to the Right answer,
That one must Last to Begin.
----

The two don't have any relation to each other, just thought i'd put 'em both up.

Konnix I'm liking that last line! Saw it as how u're describing the beating you're gonna give this punk so graphically then making it even more serious by saying you "won't hold back at all" next time. nice.

I like how you put that feeling into verse alex, well done to the very conclusion.

I cant deny to the fact that you may just
Break down and cry
I will not fight this pain inside
Because the truth would just make it worse
You look back you can not see
Just how bad your treatment can be
So by now I hope you know
Just where I stand all alone

Life is unfair
You cannot see
Life is unfair
To you and to me
Why wont you feel the pain I share
Why won't you feel life is unfair

Maybe someday when were all old
You will come back with stories that told
How you were the hero inside
How youve changed them with your mind
Maybe someday you wont have changed
Maybe someday you'll still be the same
For now I know just why your there
Just to prove to me that

Life is unfair
You cannot see life is unfair
to you and to me
Why wont you feel the pain i share
why wont you feel life is unfair?

Thats one of my worse songs... ^^;;;;

~Mist

[Kirei]

I liked reading the above poems. Thought I would revive this topic with one of my own:

Maybe we were wrong for each other,
Maybe it wasn't the right time.
Maybe we weren't meant to be,
Maybe you were never really mine.

Maybe life is cruel sometimes,
Maybe it's unfair.
Maybe I still call your name,
Maybe you're not there.

Maybe it was stupid to try,
Maybe cursed from the start.
Maybe you still think of me,
Maybe you're always in my heart.

Maybe I want you back.
What can I say? I miss you.

~ Bugsy

[Kris]

Thats good Soo, I like the way it expresses your feelings and how they cant be told. nice work:)

[Cferra]

Soo! That is a great poem! I can think of a lot of other people who'd love to hear that opoem. The other ones here are great too! But, I have to admit, Soo's poem is really good and touching! Nice work!

Heres one I did like six days ago, I'm not happy with it, but can't seem to change it.

It's kind of a song/poem type thing.

My mother shes drinking away her fears
My father hes drinking away his
It's a tendency to drink till excess
I'll swagger home so alone

Alone in a scary world of violence
where gangs are recruiting children
children killing children
their parents getting wasted

Where it's not safe to walk the streets
20 bars on just one street
Broken glass and blood on the ground
Fights they are erupting
Mothers suddenly rising
Children running
Children dying
father's staggering
Fights they are eurpting

My mother shes drinking away her fears
My father hes drinking away his
It's a tendency to drink till excess
I'll swagger so alone

Girl heldup at knife point
Her parents at a bar
Drinking to excess
Lady where is your child?

Shes alone in a world where she fears.
Your always at a bar leaving her alone

Son adoring father
Father at a bar
Son all alone
Son wants to be like father
son follows father

My mother shes drinking away her fears
My father hes drinking away his
It's a tendency to drink till excess
I'll swagger home so alone.

It's a cycle of destruction
One way or another
Mother was once a child
Child was left alone.

End the destruction now
Dependency on alcohol
Hell it's wrong
All you mothers
All you fathers
don't leave your kids alone.

My mother shes drinking away her fears
My father hes drinking away his
It's a tendency to drink till excess
I'll swagger home so alone

My mother shes drinking away her fears
My father hes drinking away his
It's a tendency to drink till excess
I'll swagger home so alone.

It starts with One.
Have another
Broken Dreams
Broken Homes
Violence erupting
Because you left your kids alone.

Meh it sounds ok when I sing it in my mind, but otherwise when I can't get the tune I sort of want, it sounds like ****.\

[Porygonix50]

It was a dark and stormy day on Dreary Man's Way,
a distant's child's voice cries out in the fray.
Dear friend upstairs, write a word on my wall,
so I may know you are watching once and for all.

The thunder speaks with its rising tone,
just pieces of the distance of the realm of unknown,
I look at the grass, once covered in dew,
now soiled with His tears as the rain passes through.

On the sound of the call from the heavens, I wonder,
Is it God that I hear, that voice in the thunder?
Was He barking his orders to his creation, mankind,
The sound blends with voices of men left behind,
Does man bury himself, Dear God, is it true?
I recieve no reply as the thunder rolls through.

Father, we reside in our small realm of sin,
I'll see you, my friend, when the rain comes again.

[tygerofdanyte]

gah here only for a while then back to non-comp land.

anyway.

fp: strange and nice as usual. i seem to have you vying to grab my fanfickian spot as strange poet. En garde.

pory: heh nice ^_~. knew you could write stories, but prose. (Y)

now onto me own. old one. don't feel like writing up papered stories. too lazy :D

What a time!
World filled with grime.
What a time!
My world full of gloom.
The past gone and dead,
words still remain said.
All said and done.
The past gone and dead!

The future seen,
hearts crushed; destroyed zen.
Life of matter n'er now surged,
courage, remnant completely submerged.
The future seen,
men hope it never been.

Present terrified and atrocious.
Floods and streams,
Grime-stricken; thoroughly noxious.
Destruction of dreams,
tears rushing out of all seams.
Present terrified and atrocious!

What a time?
World filled with grime.
What a time?
My world full of gloom.
~~~

VERY OLDDD

[dratinihaunter13]

nice poems! i liked your use of past present and future with time tyga =). and porygonix, your rhythm and rhyme worked great together, made the scene all the more easy to envision. well done.

here's one i posted a couple board's ago i think. who's counting.

“Knock at the Door”

Miracle. Chrysalis unfurled.
Welcome to your world.

The forest so enormous like a chorus sings around you.
Smallest dot in your surroundings. Amazing, this life found you.

Invisible limits with endless trees. Sky so close, ground far below.
The dawn of day speaks through the leaves, “Your life has A long way to go.”

And you begin, with knowledge thin, blindly leap from leaf to tree.
Above it all, the floor intrigues you. Invites you please, to come and see.

To find new glee, your feet take flight. Faith high, in the sky that saves you.
As you fell, the clouds expel. The clever spell enslaves you.

The drop ends and the top extends away from your familiar eyes.
Left to befriend the dirt and grass who laugh and humor you with lies.

Hidden despise that can not pass, rises up before long.
You speak out, relieved to shout. Those friends of yours are gone.

Racing up the bare tree stump, now heeding the eagle’s call.
Here she flies. The wing she brings, lifts you high above it all.

Sailing through life so anew.
Airborne feeling seems so true.
Caressing winds bless you and save.
Again, the leaves. A welcome wave.

Soars your spirit with your thought.
A lesson learned. You are taught.

Yet the raindrops hit you first.
You slip and fall, fearing the worst.

And eagles give their greatest try,
To pluck you from the crying sky.
A reach away, it’s all your choice.
Listen for the treetop’s voice.

Throughout the forest, up and down.
Frown to smile to smile to frown.
Searching past the muddy glare,
The canopy is always there.

But life’s a trend, things tend to end.
You give that wing a final ride.
The forest floor a final stroll.
Then stroll you to the other side.

A doorway graven ‘gainst a tree.
Many have seen the passage free.
Yet no one hears of what they see.
There you stand so anxiously.

You raise and knock the heavy ring.
Nothing now can change a thing.
Breathe silently, keep listening.
The response, is everything.

[anonym0usie]

The winter day that made my breath visible
The coin that I dropped on the frozen road
The coin that I left to be covered by snow
The orphan who had not a piece of bread in 3 days
The orphan who had neither warmth of coat nor love
The orphan who cried from hunger and cold
The tears of the orphan that I had not wanted to see
The orphan who asked me for a coin
The coin that could have changed the life of an orphan
The coin that was covered by the snow
The orphan's corpse covered by snow
The orphan to whom I didn't give enough love
The winter day less cold than my heart
The tears of the orphan, heard never again

[Dragonair Rider]

Oo. I think I migght like this place. Well, I'll give it a go. :)


Fingers
Swirling, swirling, swirling
Engulfing, engulfing, engulfing
Eating, eating, eating
Boiling, boiling, boiling
Little boy
Lying on the ground
Little boy
Scared, lying on the ground
Little boy
Dying, scared, lying on the ground
help me
I cannot hide in the darkness.
Their light renders it into pieces.
I cannot go back home.
They will reduce it to rubble.
I cannot hide anywhere.
There is no hiding from them.
They spit down on me.
Seething
Scathing
Burning
Bubbling
Strangling
I look and see the innocent blue
But it is naught but a disguise
A mask, hiding the dark scars of their faces
But only I know
The others, they don’t
They don’t understand
They never will
And they will fall too,
Just like me.
They roar
Echoing into my ears
Sending green tendrils
Curling through my veins
Ending at my heart
Clutching it
In their cold grip
The night flashes
So it begins
So it begins
They come out from their quiet abode within the innocent blue
And come roaring, raging across the vaults
Dancing in the sky
Coming to get me
Because only I know
No one else does
Only I do
So they come to get me.
They streak across the sky
Screeching
Searching for me.
Someone make them go away.
Someone make them go away.
Please someone make them go away.
They won’t stop until they get me.
And they get closer.
And closer.
closer.
Spitting down on me.
Drenching me in their seething scathing sweat.
Someone please.
Help me.
Save me.
I let out my final pathetic cry.
Before their fingers finally touch me.

WHOO! Quite a doozy, eh?

[Psychic_Suzanne]

This is a stupid sonnet. But, what the hell.

September Love
When out into September's fields I go,
And gaze into the purest crimson sky,
The sunset is divine, and yet is so
Similar to my gentle lover's eye-
Silent, but not hard, and qui'tly set
'pon golden fields, my lover's golden hair,
And never under heaven as of yet
Has been found a thing so sweet, so fair.
The whisper of soft winds, it is his breath
Rolling o'er my body, and my soul,
Enfused with love, though lightly tinged with death,
With his intwines, and together rolls
___Through Autumn's final warm and tender kiss.
___Was there e'er a binding strong as this?

Like I said. It's stupid. Whatever.

[dratinihaunter13]

alex: sad =( i like the story, impressive how real you made it in just a few lines of prose. *hoorays*

dragonair rider: wow, i like the structure in this, along with the imagery. really good job on it, the feelings with the colors and everything works great. my favorite word of it is tendrils =).

Suzanne: i remember that one! and i like it just fine =P.

“Dead Mirage Men”

You know that seconds aren’t growing,
While you wait in the line, prime for fighting.
A hill’s shadow holds you from going.
At the order, though, brightens the lighting.

As you gain your footing and stand
To face pain from the sand,
The many faces of sand,
Which will strike mechanically.
There’s a gun in your hand.

There’s a friend in your hand who will always defend.
Defend who? Its master, to whom it must render disaster.
The first bullet defends you successfully, yet offends your brother as well.
More remorse will spring forth and expel from your eyes, for they are alive, and have sorrow to tell.
The tears every morrow decline to a slowing, a slowing, a ceasing, an end.

What once was human compassion,
Is now just your war of pretend.
---

[Prof. Jb Wolf]

This Pain Becomes Me

Loneliness. Sorrow. Rage.
Three emotions that beat within this fragile heart of mine.
Always alone and forever wandering.
Never there when needed
Always there when unwanted.
Eternal Sorrow.
Pining for one out of reach.
Yet finding myself drawn to another.
I find that my only solace from the war of my heart
In a curse of my own choosing.
Blinding Crimson Fury
The fires burn deep within my soul
Asking, begging, commadning me to release it.
To destroy the one that has crushed my happiness.
And when the flames burn lown, and my mind is cleared.
I find myself once again lost in the world.
Left to dwell on the faults of my own.
And so do I wander, ever walking.
Searching for a cure to my curses.
Perhaps then I will my peace.
Perhaps then I can forgive the one who has caused me this pain.
Until then, I can only trudge my weary way.
Until then, this pain shall always be borne in my heart.
Until then, this pain shall become me.
And so...do I lash out at the world.

[Count von Dark]

I don't care
I won't fear
I will dare
I think I can bear
But I won't cry in despair

I don't care
I won't fear
Of death and pain
Of bloodshed and angst
Of rage and fury
Of vengeance and rebellious

I don't care
I won't fear
I will dare
I think I can bear
But I won't cry in despair

[tygerofdanyte]

dratinihaunter13:good message, the poem is good, but a little off in a few lines. but I'm not one to actually advocate line strength seeing my prose and poetry is quite often random ^^;; But as my 11th grade english teacher (whoo that's two years past, yet I remember what he said. why can't my memory work for my PRESENT day classes instead ~_~), structure structure AND STRUCTURE. err that's what he said. :P

Wolf-sama: :wave: long time no see or what not. I love the imagery in your poetry. Its the type of imagery that isn't direct imagery. IT stays muddled in the background and strikes out at you by staying hidden yet visible. err wait that didn't make sense ~_~ but go figure. its me whose talking ^^;;

HLSOE: first of all, PLEASEEEE don't use black color in any of tpm's forums just for the sake of it being incredibly hard to read. at least for me ^^;; Second of all, they were good poems. and don't worry about punctuation. Poetry is a form, that can do with AND without punctuation. But you did have a few errors in spelling and such. Which it can't do with. just saying ja ne. poems are a tad bit small, so just proof read.

burakkichu: aww, I actually felt your dream :(. And I hope you can solve your problems in life as well.

Count von Dark: hmm, I think I understand. But i'm not exactly sure. also if you meant to use "fear" and "bear" as part of your rhyming structure, its a bit off. seeing fear (pronounced-fee-er) would actually rhyme with seer or near rather than BEAR (pronounced-bay-air ) which would rhyme more with AIR and CARE and dare aned such. well more or less. but aside from that. it was nice.

now onto my own idiocy :-D
i doubt anyone is smart enough to get this :-P (j/k)
its something I wrote up a long while ago. i'm trying out my hand and free-style as in non-nomenclature rhyming structure and more free range. it doesn't flow as well as some of my other poetry (which incidentally never did flow :P) but meh its a try. also its a bit long.



Sorrow
~~~

Stone and Dust
Let crumble and disappear
Gone my Trust
My heart was given
To you
My love
Yet you tore it apart
Stone to Dust

Ink and Blot
Let erase and expunge
You let me Rot
My Soul I gave
Into your
Two Hands.
Yet you spat on it
Ink To Blot

Drink and Sot
Let strip and tear
Yet you let me pour ‘nother lot.
My reason I gave dearly
Towards your
Very Trust.
Yet you let me drink and drink
Drink To Sot

Stone To Dust
Stone To Dust
Gone the structure
Of mind
Gone the finality
And strength
Of this heart Everlast
Stone And Dust
Stone And Dust

Ink To Blot
Ink To Blot
Rubbed away my
very thoughts
Rubbed away my
Simple emotion
And hope Everlast
Ink And Blot
Ink And Blot
Drink To Sot
Drink To Sot
Ebbed away the shores
Of my heart
Ebbed away the fort
Of mind
Ebbed away little and
Last
Ebbed away Everlast
Drink And Sot
Drink And Sot

Gone my love
Am I to you
Gone my love
Are you to me.
I fool myself
Allowing this.
Gone my love
Gone my love.
Left to rot
Left to blot
Left A sot
Left in Dust
Gone my love the
Stone of heart
Gone my love the
Ink of thought
Gone my love the
Drink of sense
Gone my love the
Sense of thought
Gone my lo…ve

Gone Am I
Gone Am I
Trust and Such
Such and Trust
Gone Am I
Gone Am I
Adieu to life
Bring the rope
Bring the knife
Adieu to life
Adieu to life

Gone Am I
Gone Am I
Bring the noose
Bring the Dagger
Adieu to life
Adieu to life
Gone Am I
Heart and All
All and Heart
Gone Am I
Gone Am I

Darkness tremble
Light become
I come to thee
Heart Atremble
I come to Thee
My love at last
I come to thee
At last my love.
Fifteen to twenty
The years we have
Not seen each other.
Fifteen to twenty
It might have been.
You still remain the
Beauty as ever
Still the beauty
Splendor.
I now am the man
So old. I now am the man
So old. My heart at mayhap
Be young, at least I hope.
Yet my body frail
And my mind even more
I come to Thee in the end
Yet my love, Gone I am
In this place of light
Gone I am.


Tell me what ya think ^__________________________^

[dratinihaunter13]

prof.jbwolf: great poem, i love the words you used to write it and the process of pain becoming someone, why that someone keeps acting the way they do. really cool, i like it =)

burakkichu: the 3 words per line structure was interesting to read, and i love the scene that the poem depicts. powerful dream too, and i'm glad life opened for the speaker. maybe it's just being optimistic, but i do believe good things happen out of all kinds of bad situations.

tyger: well i usually read into these things too much, but here's how i read it. The speaker's heart is broken by another, like a stone crumbling to dust, and the poem goes on to show how love is gone (with great imagery, may i add). the way the speaker's love broke the heart though, was by dying i think. we get going towards the end where the speaker has aged, time has passed, and he goes to his love, an old man. yet his heart still young because he still loves her. the way he goes to his love is suicide with that noose and dagger talk. "Gone I am" would mean more something like 'gone from this world' than 'gone from his love', i think. and he's in a place of light, and here comes probably the biggest stretch i'm pulling here, he's in this place of light that is heaven or something like it (could be the light a fire makes, but i don't think so). He killed himself though, but the reason he still goes to a place of light is because he did it out of grief and love. completely wrong? well i'm willing to take that chance! ^_^ that's the way i read it anyway, wouldn't surprise if it didn't agree with the poet's intent ^^;;. i liked it any way ya look at it! :D

the corner's starting to slip off the pages here, so here's a little resuscitation poem.

--
'Awake in Wait'

Listen. Is there any silence?
Are we all still sweethearts with violence?
If so, please do not awake me.
I fear the world may mistake me.

Mistake me as someone who lifted a lash,
To see all the martyrs of chaos and cash.
They may think that they are, yet know that they're not.
Have more been shot?

A stupid question, my apologies.
I forget the frequency of your miseries.
How shameful to say 'my country tis of thee.'
Sour land of trickery, one none can bear to see.

Why waste my time with this doom awaiting,
This world, to the very end, will remain debating...
Over what color eyes are worthy of praise.
Over when we should calm and when we should craze.

Why waste my eyes, leave them shut tight.
I'm scared of what's left, of what we think is right.
Yet I remain in this punishment permanent.
Immediately! To the heights of the firmament!

Though without helping, I cannot flee.
Woe, they are human. Exactly,
Like...
Me.

[tygerofdanyte]

dh: woah. well you got most of what i meant. now onto yer poem.
very intrinsic and uhh reminded me of the song by Nas, don't know if you know of it or not. "One mic" i read it in that sense as well ^^;;. love the absence of imagery. its just words that kinda strike out and hurt, well in a good way.

now onto me
~~~

Yes
It's me
little old me
boy who once was free
yes
its me
little old me


Don't know
what to say
in this world of fray
i'm yet a boy, stuck amidst
everythign that goes awry
Don't know
what to say
when i look through
when i look through
this.. this...this
world of feys

yes
its me
a little boy
who could have been a man
who would have lead a clan
who could have been a man
leader of men and all
shoulders abreast and tall
yes its me
a little boy

my mouth stutters
my lips freeze
for words come to cease
world of jargon and song
mixing matching right and wrong
size i am of a man
stature of a behemoth
one of size one of strength
makes a two, but naturally
everything comes in threes
but i'm yet only
one of size
one of strength
yet none of
intellect
my mouth
stut..stutt.stutters
my lips
freeze


yes its me
just a little
boy?

[dratinihaunter13]

yea i remember that song. with the sirens in the background i think, cool that you thought of it that way. I rap a lot so huzzah ^_^. i liked that words you used in that poem, and how you showed how "little" the narrator is and how he could have been big. Nice poem =).

here's one -
--

"A Raindrop's Cry Too Late"

Plummet from the summit of the sun.
Streaking lists of meaningless reasons.

Trailing failure tails through the air.
Tears in a field of gray failing to care.

Searing towards and reaching for the ground.
Clearer sight, frightened of what they've found.

Indeed, the eyes are widest when they splash.
Bleed beneath the new costume of ash.

Where did the last raindrop hit?
Where did the glass teardrops quit?

On what surface did the drop bid goodbye?
With what purpose did it stop fit to dry?

At what moment could sunlight peek to pry?
In what moment would some light leak from high?

Where was the gleam
Of the nearest sunbeam
That could lead
To the cease
Of the last
Raindrop's
Cry?
--
not very many poems that are happy, more downbeat melancholy tones really. it's always like that. Maybe cuz poetry can be a very popular method of venting pent up feelings and thoughts, but when one thinks happy thoughts or feels happy they don't need to hold it in. just a thought!

[Shadowed Mewtwo]

aw... all these poems are so beautiful... ;_; and touching... I love poetry!!!

Here's a stupid little poem I wrote once for school:

I see them coil around the trees
Right outside my school
And soar about in the clouds
The soft white land they rule
I hear them whisper words of wisdom
softly in my ear
Wings, clawed hands, and large cat eyes
I find all their features dear
Their breath a deadly flame
and their roar fearfully great
many people find me crazy to call them my playmates
"Dragons aren't real" they say
but I must disagree
For I have found dragons do exist
Thiving inside of me.

[tygerofdanyte]

dh: nicely done. kinda touching

SM: hey, its been a long time since I saw your face around here, wb. that is if it is the old SM ^^;; and not someone else. I liked your poem. it was shooo cute ^_^

meh i'm in a cyber cafe so i don't have anything with me or not time to actually write something up. so lemme just put something up in about a few short minutes.

the title is

CRAPPY
~~~

Hey.
Guess who I am?
a little thing left by a boy
named Sam


Hey
guess where I stay?
in a little corner stuck under
a shoe of a girl named kay.

Hey guess what I see
a little, well a big place
called the ground, see

HEY
its just me
crappy crappy
me

~~

err that was odd and stupid hehe ^_^_ *runs*

oh yeah it was CRAPPY

[Shadowed Mewtwo]

Yep, it's me! Back from the dead and back into being obsessed with Pokemon!

Aw, your poem's not bad! It's cute! ^^ It also made me laugh!

[GSAce789]

Hey, I was reading all these poems and I was...inspired, how you say, so I wrote something for this. The first poem is just plain weird, but the second is kind of inspiring, I guess you could call it. They're both short, but..hey, I'm new to the poetry thing.

Ooga Looga Shmooga, Zippety Dippety Da,
Shmickey Mickey Zickey, Doopty Loopty La.
Quizzy Dizzy Uumpa, Bibbity Bobbity Boo,
Ickty Bickty Uweega, Kookry Dookry Doo.

...Disturbing, huh? Just a peek into the inner sanctums of my psyche in it's most twisted state. Here's the second one, entitled, "Creation".

From the microscopic atom
To the largest lofty tree.
The most miniature insect
To the complicated me.

Order in the cosmos,
Even in the tiny ant,
So how could all this order
Be just an accident?

Whaddya Think? Coming soon, "Ode To A Saiyan".

[Andrew]

Just, reminding people, there's always the option to post your Poetry here ^^ I would write a poem, but I just suck, so um, I know a Haiku has like 17 Syllables and erm, I hate analyzing them cause school sucked thee fun out of them. I guess this is a glorified bump though...

Oh well um, here's a Limerick

There once was a man from France
Who went and put wine in his pants
The Wine went and ran
Down the back of his pants
And the police dragged 'im without a chance

[PancaKe]

XD XD Oz! Great limerick its kinda lame but cool at the same time! :D

Anyway I've been writing a lot latley. A few songs have really inspired me. Like Papa Roach Time and Time Again. I heard that song once and I'm like woah man this stuff ROCKS! So basically it sort of inspired the style of this next song.

^_^

~Mist

And It Will Heal Through Time ~ Written By Mist

"Dont worry it's happened before
I'm sure he's in a better place
Time will make things better
Over time it will feel better
It will heal over time."

They watch all standing around
As tears roll down his face
They notice as he sinks down to the ground
Now hes out of place
There is no answer to a question of why
The situation a disgrace
There is no healer not even time
Life moves at a faster pace
And

Time is the worst of all healers
Its getting worse than before
Time is the worst of all healers
Thinking about it just hurts it even more

What is gone
Its just not fair
Its gone for good
Gone for good
And time wont change a thing
Because time cant help a thing

Time is the worst of all healers
Its getting worse than before
Time is the worst of all healers
Thinking about it just hurts it even more

Its hard to wake up now
The world has stopped
Each day goes by somehow
While his body has flopped
His mind has paused trapped in a frame
His spirit is dropped
The house needs cleaning, the window a new pane
The floor to be mopped

Time is the worst of all healers
Its getting worse than before
Time is the worst of all healers
Thinking about it just hurts more

Its been so long since the
Will he ever drop the topic
Its time to move on my freind
Will he ever get over it
Turn away look forward to what is ahead
The first step is the worst of it
You cant bring back someone who's dead
Wake up and face it

Time is the worst of all healers
Its getting worse than before
Time is the worst of all healers
Thinking about it just hurts more

Time is the worst of all healers
Its getting worse than before
Time is the worst of all healers
Thinking about it just hurts more

And its just not fair
You cant bring back

[PancaKe]

^_^ glad 2 c dis is coming back. Yeah I always write songs and I HOPE they contribute towards poetry. Here's this song i wrote all about how my best friend was sort of hanging out with other peeps and not with me much. :)

~Mist

Unwelcomed

Inseprable those two were
Together every day and more
Brother and sister like superglue
I remember when it was me and you...

Best friends
You were my best friend
You showed me more than I ever could have seen
No end
Our friendship had no end
Do you have any idea to me what you mean?

But as the days go by..
Less and less i see of you
And im beginning to feel

Unwelcomed
Am I still like super glue
Am I still stuck to you
This has been emptied
I still think of you the same way
But now I'm being pushed away by you
And now I feel unwelcomed

Forever
Thats how long I thought It'd last
Those thoughts now hang in the past
Together
Why aren't we like that no more
Have we walked out seperate doors

And as the days do pass
Will our friendship last
Because now I start to feel

Unwelcomed
Am I still like super glue
Am I still stuck to you
This has been emptied
I still think of you the same way
But now I'm being pushed away by you
And now I feel unwelcomed

And how does it come down to this?
We had a close relationship
All the times and all those years
All the laughter all the tears

I'll write our names in a circle
Hope that we can be like that
Because a circle goes on forever

But I still feel

Unwelcomed
Am I still like super glue
Am I still stuck to you
This has been emptied
I still think of you the same way
But now I'm being pushed away by you
And now I feel
Unwelcomed
Am I still like super glue
Am I still stuck to you
This has been emptied
I still think of you the same way
But now I'm being pushed away
And now I get the hint at last
Is our friendship in the past?
And am I
Unwelcomed.

[burakkichu]

yeah, i hope it comes back....meh, i'll be posting stuff here anyhow. ^^ sad poem....unwelcomed. =/ good too.

when did i write this? oh yeah...wednesday.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

can't work today.
so unhappy.
nothing's wrong.
yet everything's wrong.

i can't "work it out".
there's nothing to deal with.
i can't cope with it.
though i should be able to.

don't ask me what's wrong.
my life is normal.
everything's okay.
just don't go away.

let's talk about other things.
make-believe and fancies and far-off adventures.
our imaginations can be limitless.
in a way, it makes me glad.

[Shadow Trainer Ash]

This was just some poem I wrote when I was bored for a song... nothing special, really.


Standing here I see
the mirror holding my memories

The stars have begun to bleed
I don't know where to go
I'm all alone

I scream my hatred of the world away
and dream of your face

You had always been there
to pick me up
and take me home

And now that you're gone
this lonely mirror is your only memory

Everything seems so far away
lost in time

Everything is a mirror
a reflection of our pasts

The road of heaven has betrayed me
and the shadows have welcomed me
but i had known the way

But now that you're gone
that path has disappeared
from our world

And no longer can you come
and take me home.

[Last Exile]

Now that I'm alerted to this place, I shall submit my first piece to the Poetry Centre. :)

She always wants you
But she never gives you what you want
She calls for you
But she never comes to you
She speaks to you
But she never listens to you
She never leaves your side
But she's never there

She leaves you full yet empty
Happy yet sad
Fulfilled yet incomplete
Aware yet clueless
Everywhere yet nowhere
Everything yet nothing
Thriving yet insane
Alive yet dead

Her eyes are poison
Her hair is fire
Her skin is ice
Her blood is lava
Her flesh is stone

Her name...is Love

[Last Exile]

Okay, that one was a little heavy. Here's something light. This is a screwed up version of The Zephyr Song by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love this song, but I just thought I'd think of what it would have looked like if they write it 10 years ago, like something that would have been on BloodSugarSexMagik. :D

Nibbling on her hair now
Flashing eyelids at your head now
Her top is wet but don't you fret
You can see right through now
She's so hot and she's game for you
She don't smile but will today

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And under clouds and splendour
We'll be naked together
In the waters where I centre my emotion
Our skin against the sky
Fly away on my zephyr
Making love forever


I know it's kinda dirty, but the entire BloodSugarSexMagik album was! It was damn funky, funny and so cool. So I hope you guys like this. Kind of the anti to the poem above. :D

[Last Exile]

Just a thought:

I think this place would be cooler if we called it Dead Poets Soceity. :) That movie was cool.

[Andrew]

No.

That movie just totally sucked... *Shudders*

I had to study it in year 10 and it has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. It goes to join Maid In Manhattan, Sweet Home Alabama, and a TON of other movies I have seen. It wasn't inspirational, the boys were IDIOTS! Robin Williams wasn't funny and Carpe Diem still has me shuddering to this day.

Besides I think one part of the Simpsons summed it up

Setting - Teacher of the year awards where they review tapes

Teacher: Well just like in Dead Poets Society I try to teach my students through humor! *Cut to classroom where he's being a total idiot*

Judge: Burn that one too.

Judge 2: A whole generation of teachers ruined by Robin Williams....


*Psycho mode off*

[Last Exile]

Yeah, actually that movie did suck. Only the name was good.

How about Innervisions?

Nah, Poetry Corner is an obvious and appropriate name. :yes:

So Andy, on to a lighter note, how were those two poems?

Yours was a damn fine limerick! The French deserve it. :D

Ok, me make new material. This is a very altered version of Sliver by Nirvana. The first verse is the same, but the rest is very twisted. Just some contempt for pop music. :D

EDIT: Say Tara, when the hell did you start getting into Guns'N'Roses? Ooh, so you like ol' Axl Rose, hey?! ;) In that case, check out their album Appetite For Destruction. It's the one with Civil War, Paradise City and, of couse, Sweet Child Of Mine, featuring Slash's best riff ever and Axl's best lyrics/vocals by far.


Mum and dad went to a show
Dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
Begged and screamed
Said please, no
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home

They made me watch darn MTV
And on the screen was Britney
Half-naked
I nearly choked
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home

She said "My God! Stop your crying!"
She kept it on, couldn't deny
That she loved
The gay boy bands on MTV
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home

After dinner I had to pee
And I did, on the TV
They didn't know
They were half-asleep
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone

[Last Exile]

Okay, something far mroe serious this time.


The Day

There is no peacock plume in the sky today
Only one that is black and grey
The ostrich plume is here today
It is the day the kids won't play
Everywhere people scream
They see but they don't believe
That this could happen to them
They felt so safe until when
The fat white birds came thundering down
And shattered the Big Apple's crown
This is the day the world will change
The day we feel absolute rage
The day we will want to kill
The day we will want to fill
The empty feeling that won't go away
When three thousand souls went away

[Asilynne]

I like writing poems, I dont know why I didnt see this before ^-^()
Most of my poems I keep around and add to later, this ones pretty recent so it hasnt gone through the months long editing phase they usually do ^-^ But I hope its still good even though Ill probably end up adding to it.

~Winter~
I am Winter.
I am the Dark and the Cold.
I am the Shadow of a forgotten grin,
swallowed up in the dark turmoil of an icy Sea.

You are Summer.
You are the sun, Bright and Bold.
You are the Light of a forgiven sin,
dissolving the Storm and comforting unworthy me.

Youve made my frozen Spirit sing,
I am Winter, becoming Spring.




Well I hope that didnt totally flat out SUCK! lol Just something that occured to me one day when I was pondering things ^-^ Id appreciate hearing what people thought of that ^-^

[Kari and Mewtwo]

A little pro-war poem i came up with (anti-war supporters may not want to read this). It's a little graphic & offensive, but thats how i feel about this war..



i want to bomb the world
with no world, there can be no more wars
with no wars, there can only be peace
so lets bomb this rock
kill everyone and make them suffer for pleasure
with no life, there is no suffering
why do people cling to life when they know they cant live forever?
i want to bomb the world

[mistysakura]

Kari & Mewtwo, what do you mean graphic? I've seen a lot worse. Or maybe my sense of average is a bit warped. Anyway...

Imagine gaining fairy wings
flying up to reach the stars
with no worries of life's struggles
or anything waiting back home
Just spread your wings
Soar up to where no one else can take you
Anything can happen here.
However strange, weird or bizarre
Just wish for it and it will begin its life
Ideas are woven into reality.

Close your eyes and imagine
you are in that mystical world.

Have you realized that you are there?

This was definitely weird... I don't know if it's good or bad, but I think it leans towards the bad side.

[dratinihaunter13]

mistysakura: I think it's really good personally ^_^. Don't really know why, just kinda like it. I guess the whole imagination to reality thing.

all right, something dark *cringe* not cringin' cuz it's dark, just cuz i know dark poetry can come in torrents from y'all. that's another reason i liked ms's one before. but oh well, i like this poem because it reminds how i felt at the time, very well. as far as it's good for others, eh, probably not so much >_<;;

"A Jealous Comedy"

The snap of bones,
The clap of tones,
And none alone without the next.

The groan of you,
The groan of two,
But one too few. It's not complex.

It's only text, a textual death of two who snap and clap in hurt.
But one too few, the one forgot who sought the spot now under dirt.

And we won't meet,
Beneath the feet,
There are no screams deceased.

I meet you now,
You need to bow,
From spears and knives and fears increased.

I point above your infant love of pretty, sitting prostitutes.
The crushing death looms over head, I am the one who executes.

The one too few won't speak to you.
Just listens to the crying two.
The anvil falling all too brief.
Your clap and snap, my comic relief.

Yet you won't join me in the grave, for my mechanics let you live.
The open love you freely gave pays for the pain I freely give.

[Asilynne]

Oh my gosh, Dratini thats really good! You have some serious talent and Im not kidding, I like how the whole rhyme scheme is and also the rhythem of the poem. Very nicely done :)

[dratinihaunter13]

whoa! stupid me, i didn't read your poem before asilynne but now that i did, wow. awesome thoughts, connecting people and personalities to seasons, and i love the rhyme in it. it's like, it's own rhyme scheme that i'll find in a lit book one day lol. and the the third lines are just perfect with a balance between meaning and rhyme. i wish i could do that better, i'll sacrifice just about all meaning sometimes for a good rhyme or rythm >_<. i can see how some additions could be made, but hopefully not too much cuz i kind of like the freshness of it right now. post the edited version when it's done!

all right might as well post another one..

"Teach Me to Remember"

Remind me to forget, the blind ones I have met.
Remind me to remember, the blizzards of December.
Seek me like a friend, and shriek at my pretend.
Seek me in my daze, and shake me back always.
Tell me how to act, shell me to the fact.
Tell me what I miss, when I'm shrouded in this bliss.
Strike me when my eyes, interest in the lies.
Strike me when I'm caught, in infatuation's rot.
Help me when I trip, and fall over the lip.
Help me when I hit, freedom's very pit.
Hear me when I cry, calling for the distant sky.
Hear my inward pout when my cry can not get out.
Teach me to look for you, teach, so I can not ignore you.
Teach to me this game, but first, teach to me your name.

[Razola]

This is one of my Classics:

WYOMING

Welcome to Wyoming
with its vast and subtle plains
so quaint and peaceful
you would never know
that it's the home of the Roswell Aliens
and Hitler's brains...

Yes it is here that starts
all the conspiracies of our nation
Such as Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster
and JFK's assassination
Only we have the smarts
to rig the World Series scores
and only we could unleash the Asteroid
that wiped out the Dinosaurs.

It was us behind Watergate
Don't try to doubt it
and the thing that is great
is that there's nothing you can do about it

Oh, you can't stop the pod people from growing
and you can't prevent the land mines from exploding
you'll never keep Atlantis from imploding
and you'll stop what is going
down in Wyoming.

It's here that we lock up all the electric cars
and keep our cloning experiments quiet
Everyday there's rumors we gotta refute
and make them sound like jokes
Sure, the Cold War was one big hoax
We needed a reason to build our nukes
Can't let the people know or they'll riot
can't let them know about our Embassy on Mars

Not all of our missiles are ballistic
and there's no reason to panic
sure, the 1970s never existed
but we had to distract you while we blew up a planet

Oh, you can't stop the subliminal messages from showing
and you can't keep the economy from slowing
No, you'll never make the toxic waste stop flowing
and you'll never stop what is going
down in Wyoming

You can just forget
about Area 51
and everything the Tabloids have done
Everything you know
just toss out the window
you ain't seen nothing yet

We're in outer space, too
and deep underground
yep, we're all around
and even inside of you

Though we twist and manipulate
and we're always on the roam
it all comes back to one little state
a place where that conspiracy calls home...

Oh you can't stop the aliens from probing!
and you can't throw off the missiles: they're homing
No, you'll never prevent the Mexicans from stowing
and you can't keep the radiation from glowing
but we can keep from knowing
what is going...
just what is going...
down in Wyoming!

Here's a little poem I whipped up:

Hey look at me
I'm wild and I'm free
I go with the flow
'Cause I'm eighteen, ya know

I like Pokemon
I don't care if I'm wrong
I think it's da bomb
Like my friends and my mom

This poem's pretty lame
But it still stays the same
That I go with the flow
'Cause I'm eighteen, ya know

Thank you very much!

[dratinihaunter13]

I remember the Wyoming poem from a few poetry corners ago! liked it then and i like it now, it's well written and funny, accent on the funny part. good hold of wyoming, i feel like i've lived there for years now ^_^

classy cat - heh, that reminds me of our senior class motto. "I'm 18. I do what I want."

[dratinihaunter13]

just lifted the pen on this one. I wanted it to be in your face, but that approach may not work too well in poetry yet. here i vent..

----
"Say It or Disappear"

It's not so hazy now.
Still, I'm going crazy. How
Could you leave me waiting?
And bring about my baiting?
Still looking in my eyes,
Not seeing curtained cries.
Answering my questions,
Leading to further why's.

The pain is inside pushing out,
A stone inside my windpipe. Doubt
Every time you walk
Towards another just to talk.
Why must we be too young in years,
To appease your heart-felt fears.
Your heart must break, your teenage life
Must live in full. There must be tears,
There must be adolescent pouts.
You can not feel this feeling early. Without
Me, without the life I give,
You have to flirt, you have to live.
Mature, surely should I do that too,
Go out on dates with strangers, woo
Them, but I can't do what you do.
I can only watch you.

The pain is inside pushing out,
A stone inside my windpipe. Doubt
After you say you care the best
About me, but I can not rest
My mind, relax to thoughts of you
And me, this I can not construe
Because we are not 25.
You swim but you can't take a dive.
Powerful and pointless the way you feel.
You say too soon and far too real.
Really, ever said I blank you?

The pain is inside pushing out,
A stone inside my windpipe. Doubt
If you ever meant it,
And if you ever spent it.
Heck if you ever felt it,
Or if it merely melted.
No question that you fed it.
But you never really said it,
Did you?

Written.
"Just in case you had any doubts,
I completely adore you."
"I am going to talk about
All the things I love about you."
"If I dated you I would fall head-over-heels in love with you,
And right now that terrifies me."

"You are PERFECT…what's not to love?"
One spoken. "You are so much more important to me than…
Pretty much anyone I know."
"So I think you already know
What I think about you…FAVORITE PERSON."
"That says a lot about our friendship, I think –
That you love me enough to make me better."

Oh! Me love you is not so difficult is it?
Who are you talking to anyway? Just say it or disappear!
You've made my lyric nearly tactless,
But this paper tells what I can't verbally elicit.
It's too explicit for sound.
What I'd give to knock you off your tip-toes.

I don't want to be adored, have things you love about me.
I don't care if you're terrified, I don't want to be perfect.
I don't want to be important! I don't want to be your favorite person!
I don't want to love you!

I want you to say it or vanish.
I want to hear it or banish you
Far, far away from in here.
Say it or disappear.

The News For The Week

We are seriously getting sick of it...

Oz we all read your edited comment in DH's last post of the news. Now here's a nice little request from all of us sane people at the Fanfic Board - we get the point! Far out! ;) Its all good but you better not edit mine! Or else... :D

Theme Week/Month:

It hasn't been made official yet but the Theme Week/Month is started. One of the mods will post another topic about it later, but for now you should just check out the topics in Writers Lounge for details about the Jerry Springer Themed Week.

Useful Topics:

Yes another topic reminder. It's not as big as the other ones, just reminding people to check out the topics in the Fanfic Writers Lounge, and also to check out the Fanfic Board for Dummies topic. Helpful topics for you guys.

Poetry Corner:

Another useful topic. People, poetry can be posted and read here. You dont have to be a poet nut just check it out. Some poems are short and sweet, other ones are long and expressive. Any and every form of poetry can be posted here, haiku, limerick, standard, song writing, etc. I sometimes post some of my songs but I often read other poetry too and there is a bunch of really good poems there. Check it out, maybe it'll inspire you to post a poem too.

Fic of the Week

Its been around for ages but still deserves a mention and even though as far as I know, its on a break right now, it still is worth checking out. I'm talking about Ryan's (CitrusCrushChikorita) fic, When Destinies Collide (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2400&perpage=15&pagenumber=1). It's a really good fic and I dont want to give anything away by telling you guys a bit about it so all I'll say is that it involves some very big issues, is very very good at making you edgy and crave to know what happens next, and involves a crossover between CardCaptors and Pokemon. ^_^ Worth reading.

Here's my shot at this. A little thing about a certain genre we all know and love. Without further ado...

ANIME MANIAC
Sometimes I lie awake in bed,
Obsessing on this cartoon style.
To reach this comic technique’s home,
I’d have to walk a while.

It comes from a far away land,
Where people write from up to down.
They read their pages right to left,
It seems all turned around.

But all I see’s the awesome art,
From that land of Japan,
And recently I’ve been obsessed,
More than all who I know can.

I can’t get it out of my head,
I have so many dreams,
Of being all the characters,
From each assorted theme.

I travel beside Pikachu,
‘Just “Gotta Catch ‘Em All”,
I fight the Red Ribbon Army,
And find the Dragonballs.

My name is Yusuke, gangster kid,
Killing demons is my job,
My name is Spencer, fear my pig,
No ordinary hog.

I am a pilot, bold and brave,
Flying a Gundam through the sky,
Weirdly, In Ranma, I’m a girl,
When I should really be a guy.

“Hi! I’m Yugi! I’m possesed,”
By the Egyptian god of games,
Operating each and every Zoid,
Many models, many names.

I’m a Super Saiyan, great and strong,
Saving the the galaxy,
I’m a Shinobi, swift and lethal,
DO NOT MESS WITH ME.

Speed Racer, tearing up the track,
Reach the speed of sound,
The name’s Tenchi, my world is filled
With space chicks all around.

I am a wandering ex-Botosai,
A man-slayer renewed,
Saving the digital world,
I’m a digi-destined dude.

All the cutesy little critters,
Hamtaro, Sunny, Pikachu,
They all are pouring through my mind,
Though, yet, I want them to.

I thrive in all the styling,
I dream of all the massive eyes,
Noses minute, yet still have nostrils,
Short-skirt girls and black-haired guys.

Even though here in the USA,
It tends to be dubbed down,
If there were a cartoon coolness contest,
I’d give anime the crown.

Now I ponder my obsession,
Healthy? Probably not.
But I just can’t seem to give up
What other styles just don’t got.

As I sit cross-legged on the floor,
I contemplate my craze,
Will I ever think of something else?
I see no other ways.

I am an anime Maniac,
I take it in with glee,
But am I just fond of anime,
Or does anime control me?



Well, whadd'ya think?
Honestly.

[PancaKe]

What funky poems ^_^ Here's a song i wrote called "Apart". I'm actually only happy with the first verse and the last verse. The middle one is soo gay.

~Mist

This is it my fingers have slipped
I'm trying to hold on and get a grip
Its moving to fast am I going to slow
Nobody understands me at all you know
I'm going insane driving up the walls
My tongue is silent my nails gnawed
If you didnt know you'd think I was fine
Youd walk in on me and see me cry

I doubt you know that I'm alive
I doubt youd care if I died
What happened to my existance
Bring back what we used to have
Bring back what I need to grasp
We're out to sea and drifting

I watched you changing your ways
Ive watched you over countless days
Used to love you as more than a friend
Thought they'd be the same till the end
I was wrong I normally am
Cant win a fight with you I can
Not succeed I really dont care
I normally agree with you so there

I doubt you know that I'm alive
I doubt youd care if I died
What happened to my existance
Bring back what we used to have
Bring back what I need to grasp
We're out to sea and drifting

This is it my fingers have slipped
I'm trying to hold on and get a grip
Its moving to fast am I going to slow
Nobody understands me at all you know


I tried to explain myself to you
Tried to explain you snubbed me too
Your moving away I'm actually glad
Dont really need what we once had
If your going to be like this you jerk
Couldnt be bothered to make it work
I doubt you'd notice if I cried
I doubt you'd notice if I dropped and died

I doubt you know that I'm alive
I doubt youd care if I died
What happened to my existance
Bring back what we used to have
Bring back what I used to grasp
We're out to sea and drifing apart
Apart
Out to sea and drifting apart

[GSAce789]

Okay, this isn't as long as my first, but I think it's still pretty good. As you might have guessed, my poems aren't going to all be very inspirational. Well, here goes... reader discretion is advised on this one.

"PLEASE DON’T PICK YOUR NOSE"

When you’re at the meeting,
A real big job to do,
The fate of corporate merger
Is resting upon you…just…

…Please don’t pick your nose.

When you’re at a party,
Having the time of your life,
If you want to host your own bash,
Avoid that fatal strife…and…

…Please don’t pick your nose.

When you’re on a splendid date,
A top-class restaurant fine,
You want to be truly polite,
For that lovely girl divine…so…

…Please don’t pick your nose.

When you’re in the choir,
Singing in the Christmas act,
The afore-mentioned action,
Will cause the audience to ‘blaach’…oh…

…Please don’t pick your nose.

When you’re serving as the best man,
Standing ‘side the bride and groom,
Messing with your nostrils
Will surely clear the room…thus…

…Please don’t pick your nose.

*Ahem.* Yeah. So... how was it? Really, how?

[PancaKe]

I dont like maths or science and i REALLY DONT LIKE MY SCIENCE TEACHER AT ALL. So I wrote these when i was sent outside and when i was bored.

Bored:

I am bored yes I am
I like pie and not ham
Give me money and Ill buy you some jam
Cuz I am bored and yes I am

Maths:

Maths
What is it good for
You can buy a calculator instead of maths
Who needs to know how to work it out in our head
I'd rather be outside instead.

My Science Teacher Hates Me:

My science teacher hates me
I relaly dont know why
My nose is froze and my toes are froze
He sent me to stand outside
Its very cold and wet
I think I might get ill
I hope I dont start to cough
I'll sue him, I will
Its actually kind of lonley
I wish I didn't have to stay
My science teacher hates me
I wish he'd go away.

Dandruff Dictator:

Somebody let me out
I'm hungry and tired and I wanna go home
Far away from all this mess and this dictator with dandruff
Its a mountain of white fluff and its gross
I dont like science but I did before
I always get the door slammed in my face
He says I'm a disgrace
Science one should be science 20
he hates our guts we hate his plenty
I'm so bored, bored I am
This science lesson is just like maths
And he's yelling a lot on top of it all
He thinks theres more brains than we've really got
He waves his fingers and raises his voice
Please shut up we dont want your noise
We dont want to listen
We dont want to pitch in
You're freaking boring take the hint
We dont want you to go on, admit it
You hate us and we hate you
Our science teacher blabs on and on
If he turns around, we'll be gone

~Mist

[totodilelover]

Life really sucks sometimes,
It does when your always behind,
I try my very best,
I suck unlike the rest,
I write to release my pain.
People thinking my writing is a game,
I try to be origianal and good,
Yet im still missundersood,
So what if I lived in the hood,
So if I whine sometimes,
But remember the words I say,
Cause tomarrow is another day.

I wrote it a long time ago.

Now here is the poem I entered in a contest at poetry site and won, hope ya like..

Losing The Sight Of Light

When will you be all mine
I been waiting for you from all time
Ive never felt this way
Am I going in the wrong way
IM trying to switch lanes
I have to go everything is changing so fast
was there really a past how long will this feeling last
this is like ecstasy is this some
kind of fantasy
there's always some kind of rules to bend
wont you pull me out of this darken
hole that I call my life
My heart so cold and lonely looking
up at what's above dark and raining sky's
Is anybody here can anyone help me
find my way out of here
I feel lost and used
is anybody there to get me out of here
tonight
IM losing the sight of light

[Razola]

The Boy Nobody Really Liked

Oh there he goes...
Walking in the rain
Alone
Why does he keep on trying to impress us?
All he's really doin' is test us
on how far our patience can be stretched

There's the Boy
Nobody really likes
Every day
We always say
"Hey, go take a hike."

He could be orphan
He might be full of pain
We don't really know
The only thing we care about him
is when exactly he'll go...

There goes the Boy
nobody really likes
I'm sure we'll find him one day
with several stabs from a knife

I Wished I Cared

Who gives a flip about family?
Who cares about your feelings?
Why should we pay attention to your life?
Why should I hear about your strife?

Why am I listening?
Why should I give a hoot?
I I had a gun right now,
I know who I'd shoot.
But honestly I wished I cared.

However, what can I say?
I've got mouths to feed and bills to pay
And the company presentation is in a few days
Then I gotta shop for some milk and Lay's
But seriously, I wish I cared.

If only I had all the time on Earth
to hear about your suffering and hurt
If only that were so true
if only the whole world would stop
so we could listen to YOU

We could quit all our jobs and drop everything
to hear you moan
We should probably do that
It's not like we have problems of our own.

I wish I cared
I really wish I cared
I truely wish I cared
I'm should pull out all your hair...

[AndrewPDes]

Haiku by me

Wind blows leaves through air
A graceful dance of colors
For now it is Fall

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

I've got a couple of poems.

This one was for a teacher who died at our school this year and everyone in the school was making origami cranes right before he did.


Make a Wish

Fold, pray, fold, pray,
Another one done, on to the next.
Crease the paper, squash it flat,
Open it up.
Bend, reverse-fold, pray all the time,
Another one done, next.
Hundreds of paper cranes line my walls,
Wings out-stretched and heads bent.
One thinks that it’ll never work,
But stays silent among the others.
The next is done, one more to do,
Fold it and pray with all your heart.
The head is bent down and the wings tilted up,
Finally, it is done and the perfect crane.
I hold for a small while longer and…
Make a Wish.

This one I wrote a few days after seeing Princess Mononoke. It should explain itself.


Tremble thy Children

The trees stretch, yielding to no man.
Spirits click, the ghosts of the forest.
Night has come, and death has risen.
Mice and raccoons shrink away.

Howl to the moon, thy children!
Give thanks to the walker of night!
Beware the hands that can take life!
Tremble thy children!

Pounding earth, the walker stalks.
Trees wither, brown decaying mess.
Night in bloom, says the wind.
The night-walker goes on.

Raise your heads, thy children!
Give thanks to the walker of night!
Keep away from the hands that take life!
Tremble thy children!

Light peeks up, the sun is coming.
Standing still, the night-walker watches.
Dawn nears now, the walker shrinks.
Its night job is done.

Howl to the sun, thy children!
Give thanks to the walker of night!
Watch as It takes away the life!
Tremble thy children!

Shining lake, the night-walker changes.
Antlers grow, sprouting tall and many.
Human face, It transforms to Deer.
Flowers and grass sprout.

Call to the light, thy children!
Give thanks to the bringer of life!
Plants sprout from Its every step!
Tremble thy children!

Tree spirits, clicking at every step.
Happily, they dance in the tree.
Passing by, It brushes the oak.
Leaves sprout and the tree awakes.

Sing to the life, thy children!
Give thanks to the bringer of life!
Watch as trees grow back!
Tremble thy children!

Day closes, the sun falling down.
The lake glows, no plants beneath the surface.
The Deer God, walking on water.
Returning to the island to start the process.

Cry to the sunset, thy children!
Give thanks to the bringer of life!
The night will come and It'll walk!
Tremble thy children!

[PancaKe]

We lost the last one. ^^;; So I'm starting up a new Poetry Corner. Basically, here you can post any type of poetry you come up with, ie. limerick, standard poem, haiku, song lyrics, those poems that are about peoples names where u write them sideways on paper and do someting for each letter. As you can tell, I dont know many types of poetry, but I do love to write poetry and I've noticed a lot of poems popping up latley. Post your poetry here then, and read others poetry here too. (how corny.)

Well I'll start off with a poem me and my friend Beth wrote about a situation and theory we had about this guy and what he was trying to tell me without saying it:

Jealousy

He's jealous,
He's jealous, can't you see?
He is crying out from his soul,
notice me,
notice me,
notice me.
And you,
you are too blind,
you can not see it!
Notice him fool,
before he is no longer there.
The twig is jealous.
He is green with envy,
and red is his blood
which pulses through his veins
when your with another man.
Notice him,
notice him,
While you still can.
But this is only a theory,
it is possibly not true.
Or is this the blindness
shining through?

By Beth and Tara
A theory on something.

~Mist

[DannyBoy]

Well I have some things I have but I dont got titles so I will post it here. I want to be a song writer and I have bits of things so there not that good.

Lyrics #1

Stop and think,
WOnt you have a another drink,
sit back and chill.
let me handle the bill,
then get up and move,
why dont you and me get into the groove,
feel the beat and dont think about the takin a seat,
you and me grindin away,
we can do this everyday,

Can ya feel me,
can you see me,
do you wana dance?
do you wana romance?
can you feel the heat?
can you feel the beat?
can you hear me baby?

Why dont we dance and figure it out,
Why dont we move all around with out a doubt,
do you wana move it up and down?
do you wana move it all around?
please mr.dj keep it pumpin,
please dont stop so we can start something.


Lyrics #2

Life always turns the wrong way,
When you have nothing left to say,
They say when things go bad to forget,
Then there’s nothing left to admit,
When things go bad everything starts to fall
People you love will all start to go,
Then you still standing there ready to show,
Just got to take it and go with the flow,
No matter how bad it hurts you,
You think you’ve always stepped into someone else’s shoes,
You wish so hard it wasn’t you,
But it will hit you eventually you’ll need to know,


When you’re all alone,
And nobody’s there at home,
You will have to learn to care,
i had to take time to learn what life’s about,
But there’s no one here to shout,
Can some one tell me what its all about?
I got this feeling i got this feeling now

You got to get and go,
When you’re feeling so damn low,
Please i need to know.
So i can get back to the place so high,
Where there’s nothing to hide,
Just don’t leave your past behind,
Don’t let go of time
Things go right,
And you try not to forget,
Things go bad,
And you get mad,
Doesn’t mean to be sad,
Can some explain?
Will things always be the same?
Why life is so complex?
Can some one please fix this?
Before it all becomes a bliss,
Every single new year,
I have even more fears,
But maybe less tears,



I will add some more later. See ya all later
:wave:

[PancaKe]

They're pretty good. What style of music are those lyrics for? Pop or dance, right? Or RnB? Oh yeah, and what inspired you to write those lyrics. The lyrics I'm about to post were inspired because they just were. Lol. I'm not sure where they came from, but I'd been listening a lot to Evanescence, and had started writing in their style and I guess this just came from how grateful I am for God saving me and how much I love God and how I hate to hear people turn away from God, and how I pray for those who turn away. *shrugs* I think that's the message of the song, or the story behind the song. Anyway, its called "Countless"

Countless:

My God my saviour
How I love you so much
I cant bear to hear the people diss you
How can they blame you for all the suffering
When they could be prasing
The countless blessings you rain on us

They push you out and turn away
I cant believe your willing to save
Their countless souls that are dead throughout the night
Jesus for you I sacrifice

My God my saviour
How I love to hear your word
I cant bear to hear them speak ill of you
They decide to blame you for all they've done
For all the hate theyve created
And they wonder why the worlds going to hell

They push you out and turn away
I cant believe your willing to save
Their countless souls that are dead throughout the night
Jesus for you I sacrifice

My life I give it all away
I want to spend every day
Living for you
My soul I hand it back to you
Was yours all along
I just had to wait for you to come and claim it back

My God my saviour
How I love you so much
That words cannot express the deepness of my heart
I pity those who look away
Who cannot bear to face the truth
Reach into their hearts please help them to realise

They push you out and turn away
I cant believe your willing to save
Their countless souls that are dead throughout the night
They push you out and turn away
I cant believe your willing to save
I guess I should know by now that its never too late
For you I sacrifice
Jesus my saviour

Its one of my favourite songs I've written, I think its much better than some of my other songs, yet I dont think its anything that good. *shrugs*

~Mist

[Razola]

I think we should sticky it. There's an ebb and flow to the popularity of it.

NewsAnchor Gerald

He's worked for fifty years
all on News Channel Four
Reporting Scandals and conflicts
from Watergate to the Persian Gulf War
And tonight's his last gig on that 'ol news desk.
So we're all throwing him a party
while the old days we all reminisce

Oh, News Anchor Gerald
We'd always watch him
and the events that he'd herald

We started off with a little bit of cake
it was quite a big but we managed to finish it
during the commerical break
Then we gave some gifts for him to start unwrapping
they were so great it was hard for him to be somber
when he reported that child kidnapping

Oh, News Ancher Gerald
Somehow he could make us smile
even while saying the world was in peril

Then we interupted the daily entertainment piece
to offer our thanks to the man
with a big 'ol retirement feast
And the whole thing went withoug a hitch
just as weatherman Steve forecasted
everyone loved the event
not even the movie critic lambasted

The feast was over
time to say goodbye to our friend
The Finanical Reporter said his future looked bright
The Health Corner hosts diagnosed a good run
and the Traffic reporter reported there would be no tie-ups in sight
Sports Talk Joel yelled that his perfomance was never poor
The sound guys held their microphones up high
The cameramen saluted as he walked to the door

Oh, New Anchor Gerald
Your broadcasts we're going to miss
The following days just won't be the same
At eleven and six

[DannyBoy]

THanks Mist! That means a lot. The first one was a dance like one and the other was a despressing soft rock type. All I do is write so I will definitally be here a lot. I definitally get lots of inspiration from Christina Aguilera, her lyrics are so powerful and most people will say she sucks but they never listen to her lyrics. You are a good writer yourself! So are you Raz!


Impossible

It’s impossible,
People always say,
Are loves so true,
You never make me feel blue,
There’s nothing we can’t do,
People always say,
It’s imposable.

I know we can make it if we try,
We should take are time,
We don’t have to go get things just to buy,
Just remember all i want is you,
With are love so damn true,
Girl you make me feel like I’ more than i am,
I hope that you can say the same,
Just hope we will remain,
Ever since i set my eyes on you,
I knew that we will be more than I ever thought possible.


Its impossible,
People always say,
Are loves so true,
You never make me feel blue,
There’s nothing we can’t do,
People always say,
It’s imposable.


There was time I was hurt and you were there,
All I remember was that you cared,
You were always the one for me,
I had this feeling inside,
That made feel so damn good,
You reminded me of all the things I could do!

Edit: Change in this title

Needs

ONe by one I fall,
The last thing I remember,
Is walking down a long hall,
it was a cold night in December,
I couldn't breathe,
I wasn't aloud to be free,
I wasn't aloud to be me,
Everytime I spoke a word,
Everytime it was heard,
I would be blamed for everything,
I cant decide on where to go,
I cant make everyone happy and I stay low,
I just wanna be me!
But everyone is to blind to see,
I need what is right for me!


Trapped

And its everytime I turn around I feel bond to you,
Everytime I try to runaway, it seems I am always found,
I can't get a brake from every little thing,
My head keeps spinning round and round,
I feel like there is something going on,
But its just a lie to make me see you,
Why wont you let me be?

Break Me Down

I was fooled once by you,
Then you did it again so two,
I sat there with nothing to do,
Then I picked up my things to go,
I know I am not going to let you make me frown,
Not to day,

Break me down, one by one,
Break, Break me down, I ant your clown,
Break me down, I am not going to toy,
SO I am letting fo before you Break me down,

Down again but right back up,
You have did this since we were ten,
I thought that we were friends,
But I was wrong when you left in the Benz,
I thought I was blind,
But you were just playing with my mind,
But I should have just listened to my other friends,
Now I am walking away and its making my day,

Break me down, one by one,
Break, Break me down, I ant your clown,
Break me down, I am not going to toy,
SO I am letting fo before you Break me down,

Packing up my things,
You ant filling me up with lies and not buying you any bling bling,
No more late night rings,
I am going to stand up and go


Thats enough of that lol. Hope you liked them. See ya all later!

[Crystal Tears]

Anyones allowed to type here right? Cause, yeah. I'm new to the whole typin fics and poems, I was wonderin what you people tought of one, its sad and depressive...



Dark Light

I'm caught in endless change,
people around me,
happy..
Why can't I be happy?
How come they got it so lucky?
How come they get all the attention?

I live in the shadow of the world,
where no light comes through,
no light shines,
only shadow thrives,
I am a shadow,
forver forgotten..
In a Dark World..

I see violence,
I hear shouting voices of sad emotion,
I feel my sad emotion taking over,
but my rage will not go away,
I pretend to be shy,
but inside,
I love myself, and hate everyone else,
I find peace in darkness,
I love blood,
I taste fear...
But deep inside me,
theres anger and sadness..
I cry for attention,
but, i'm ignored..
They like the world better then me,
and so many times,
have they told me...
I'm they're world...



~Toodles~

~Crystal Tears~

[PancaKe]

That was really nice Crystal Tears. It was darkish, but more like a different type of dark. it wsan't filled with evil and hate, but more like an "im all alone" feel. Thumbs up!!! lol.

Do you guys reckon I should sticky this?

~Mist

[dratinihaunter13]

i liked the line "i love myself, and hate everyone else" in that poem. i dunno, just cuz it has the all alone and depressed feeling so ya think the person hates themself. but it really isn't like that, they love themselves and think they deserve more attention like that. and some other not so nice people don't deserve it, hating everyone else. i know the feeling! lol. sometimes i love myself too much and get selfish ;_;.

yea sticky it! so people don't have to go digging for it all the time, lol.

ok, here's one i wrote in class (probably when i'll ever write anything nowadays ~_~)
-------
"Will Never Learn"
A new place brings a new face and the same case is occurring.
Nope, I can't let go. My eyes, they know what always happens during
The first day of a new class and a lass holds me enchanted.
Her mystery and pretty features free my thoughts romantic.

A lass more sultry than the last.
Alas, as always, but I pass

By every chance, while in my trance our voices dance together.
I'd indulge my sight on you all night but might you tell me whether
You would waste your graces on a kid you've hypnotized?
It's no surprise I'm nowhere when the bell cries.

Every class I will return,
But alas, I'll never learn.
No, a lass I'll never learn.

[PancaKe]

Here's something I dont remember when I wrote but I wrote it the other day or something. I was kind of annoyed with my friend who is pretty much friends with me "when its convinent for him" which was pretty annoying.

Wont take no **** from you
No you're not worth my tears
No you're not woth bothering about
No more
I've had it I'm over I'm through
Here's the door please exit
Leave me to be alone
Today I'm relying on only myself
I'm grong stronger by myself
Happieness starts here and I
Can grow can breathe without you
Walking over me

~Mist

[Zee Sage]

Very good all of you, this has been major inspirition for me as I read Mist's song which is my personal fav do far I had song ideas zapping into my head all over. I am currently a non-profesional songwriter and dont have any of my completed work lyrics on hand so I will post em later.

[Chris 2.1]

I have two poems I have wanted to present to SOMEONE for...about 44 days and 44 nights (hint, lol). I'm sure I can get feedback here. Enjoy!



Don't you think?

Don’t you think its vein?
How David Blaine went in a box for days
Just to please the fans who may
Not spare a thought for those dying every day?

I think that it’s vein,
Putting on a show to entertain,
Starving himself just to look insane,
And yet some think he’s game?

Critics call him legendary,
I’d say his main adversary
Is me.
Fans say he’s acclaimed,
I say he’s deranged;
Trying to mock those starving day and Night,
Trying to overshadow the desperation of their plight,

He’s doing this because he’s simply weak outside,
And now, after this, he’s weak inside, too,
Congratulations, David,

Maybe now you’re wasting away,
You can see those who, day by day,
Wake up, angry they’re alive.
Maybe you can see how hard it is,
To lift a finger now you’re thin,
Because there’s no going back,
And that’s one fact,
I can prove myself, without a Perspex box




How long?

How long can I go,
How long will it take,
Before my whole life withers and breaks,

44 days?
44 Nights?
Let’s see if I can make it,
Make it alive

To overcome the media
With tales of how I lived
Through agony, misery and woe,

Let’s see if I can prove my will,
Against a Perspex box, but still,
Once I complete that,

What’s next?

I’m told that I’ll die,
So maybe I’ll die a hero,
I’m told I could live,
So maybe I’ll give
My health and my happiness away,
I don’t really care,
So long as Sky’s there,
To film me, 24/7.




Note = Sky is a TV channel we have, which had live recording of Blaine.


Thankyou for your time,
Chris

[Charizard04621]

Lol Brit Chris, that's some scathing satire there. Two things. One: What's a Perspex box? >_<; And two: It's "vain", not "vein". A vein's a blood vessel. ^_^

As for me, I've been informed that there's such a thing as the Poetry Corner, which has skipped my notice. I'm er, moving my stupid poem here, and if one of the Mods would be so kind to delete my thread out there I would appreciate it.

Some dumb poem (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23517)

I'm not much of a poet, but writing helps me feel better, and I felt like a poem, so bleh. ^_^;

But You Weren’t There…

I remember a time
When I could look beside me
And you would always be there…
Happy, sad, or excessively mad,
If I had something to say,
There was no mistake;
You would always be there…
To share my joy, or take away sorrow,
Or remind me things would be better tomorrow,
You would always be there…
If ever I needed you,
All I needed to do
Was look beside me,
And you would always be there…
But one day I looked,
And I couldn’t find you,
And I thought it was a mistake;
I’d always remembered
You were there when needed
But this time, you weren’t there…
When I saw you were gone,
And knew you’d moved on,
I thought I would die
Before saying goodbye,
But you won’t be there,
Never again,
No matter what I try;
Goodbye…

[Lady Vulpix]

That reminds me of a poem I once wrote but didn't post. A few weeks ago, actually. I guess I might as well post it.

Separate paths

There was a time when our hearts spoke the same language.
We brought light to each other and grew strong.
Time healed wounds, brought challenges, we made choices...
Now we can't understand each other's thoughts.

We both came to each other for a reason.
We fulfilled it. Now the reason is gone.
I grew deeper into the path I'd chosen,
the path you grew away from, as you've shown.

You can smile, cry, ignore it... Doesn't matter.
Things are the way they are, that much is clear.
What's come as a surprise is that this morning
I'm not sad to know I don't have you near.

Goodbye, and may the sun shine on you always.
Facing front, I know it will shine on me on me.
As you move on, may you remember my voice.
I will remember you. And I'll be free.

[Charizard04621]

Wow, Gabi... That's so good I feel like crying. It's so touching. *sobs*

[Lady Vulpix]

Wow! I didn't expect that kind of response. Yours was touching too, as I told you on AIM. So much that it convinced me to post mine too.

[Chris 2.1]

Charizard04621 - a perspex box is what David was in. It's like plasticcy glass, I guess, and if you didn't know, he was suspended over London Square, or somewhere in London ^^

Thanks for the feedback

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

I won't provide explanations for these, just so long as I know why I wrote them, it doesn't matter **Shrugs**

The Darkforge
A thing of terrible power,
Cold and Unknown,
Hidden beneath a tower,
That none may own.

The Forge of Shadows,
Creator of chaos,
Maker of widows,
Breaker of laws.

Magic and Darkness,
Order and Chaos,
The power of Greatness,
It binds the Forces.

Refuge
We are refugees,
Forgotten by everyone,
They don't hear our pleas,
We are befriended by none.

All we have is each other.

Are You Prepared?
The fires of destruction,
Shall wreak havoc upon the world.
An ocean of ice,
Shall silence cries of anguish.
And dark oblivion,
Shall grant peace to tortured souls,
Whose only crime was living.

Never again shall we see happiness,
For is has been forgotten.
Never again shall we feel love,
For it is useless.
Never again shall we have hope,
For it has no place anymore.

The cruel world,
Rips itself apart,
Like the mind,
The made it that way,
And tortures souls,
That can never be free.

Darkness eternal,
Forever cold,
Envelopes all,
Is nothing,
Is everything.

We are prisoners in life,
Servants in Death
We are slaves to our minds,
Warped by society,
And can never be free.

Wings of Gossamer Shadow
Sprung forth from evil,
Empowered by good,
Your body they steal,
Your soul they heal.

Darkness lights them,
Light hides them,
Neutrality bonds,
Evil and Good.

The Wings of Gossamer Shadow,
Have come to grant solace,
The souls of the Tortured,
And the minds of the Tormented.

[Razola]

With respect to Eliot:


The Hungry Men

Mista Big- he dead.
A cookie for the fat guy.


I

We are the Hungry men
Ww are not stuffed men.
Yearning together
Heads filled with hunger. Alas!
Our empty guts, when
they rumble togther
are quiet and meaningless
as nukes in New York
or Big Foot buying pounds of pork
in the grocery store.

Mouth without food, tongue without taste, empty stomach, body with shake

Those who have croassed
with ignored eyes, away from us fat guys
Plese feed us- if at all- not as lost
obese souls, but only
as the Hungry Men
Not stuffed Men.


II

Eyes I dare look in the store
In a baked goods shop
But, the store is closed
There, my eyes are
Midnight, we are so hunger tore
There, is a new day borken
and voices are
saying "store's open"
More joyous and more happy
than a shooting star!

Let me be start eating
In a baked goods shop
Let me be start to eat
Such decorative pastries
Bran Bar, tofu, healthy feast
In this store
Nothing that would feed the obese
No food here

No food in that meeting in the Bakery Store.


III

This is the market
The supermarket
Here the food's endless
in rows; fresh as can be
The hunger grows and then sky rockets
under the twinkle of the aisle lights

Is it like this
in Heaven's mighty kingdom
Walking along
the rows of tasty treats
Trembling with hungriness
Hams that we'll kiss
No! Our money wasn't brung.


IV

The cash is not here
There is no cash here
In this pocket of Hungry Men
Tn this hungry trio
The empty wallet won't fill our jaws.

In this last of dining places we go together.
And try to eat
But without cash we'll simply starve together.

Foodless, unless
Some cash does appear
As our hero and savior
A buck or a quarter
from Heaven's rich kingdom
the only hope
for Hungry Men.


V

I'd even eat a prickly pear
prickly pear prickly pear
I'd even eat a prickly pear
Without any salt or seasoning!

In a small crack
We find suddenly
Between the sidewalks
We now see
A nice crisp bill

For mine is the twenty

God's merry creation
Oh celebration
It caused mastication
Run to a cart
We get hot dogs

Make mine a foot-long

Pass all the toppins please
and the relish
Between the slobbering
And all the good eats
Between the meats
and the blessings
Get more hot dogs.

For Thine is the hot dog

For thine is
lunch is
for lunch is done

This is the way the meal ends
This is the way the meal ends
This is the way the meal ends
Not with a bang but a burp.

[StellarWind]

Eh, might as well post these here, considering it's anything goes.

Balance

When midnight reigns
Are all colors black and white?
And when it's day again
Why do we long to see the night?
Within and Without
A constant struggle
Of Shade and Light.

What causes us to want
To glide upon the aether streams?
Is everything in this world
Truly what it seems?
Within and Without
A constant struggle
Of Reality and Dreams.

And between Storm and Serenity
Somewhere on the way
Black and White
Reality and Dreams
Order and Chaos
Dissolve into the gray.

Voice of the Forest

A melody of ancient time
The drops of rain, like bells they chime
The branches sway, the green awakes
As Gentle breeze completes the rhyme

The Song of Dryads fills the air
The trees - their bodies, leaves - their hair
They sing of many aeons past
Of when this world was young and fair

Shadows dance in forest deep
Majestic willows gently weep
Light fades away, yet darkness stays...
The world is falling into sleep.

The End

When the suns turn to ash
And the rocks into rust
When the air turns to none
And the stars into dust

When the elements rage
And the balance will die
At the end of the age
Of all truths and lies

When the shadow will fall
With a thundering hiss
When the universe falls
in the swirling abyss

When the light turns to darkness
and darkness to light
I'll still be there for you
waiting in eternal night.

[PancaKe]

They're all so cool. Hungry man made me hungry, mentioning the hot dog at the end. Yum! And The End by Stellarwind was really cool! Reminded me of the stuff I read in Revelation the other day. ^^

Anyway - figured I'd write something...

~Mist

[dratinihaunter13]

neat poems everybody! it's weird how poems with the same theme seem to blend though.
-
"A Whim Was All It Took"

A whim was all it took.
Every emotion forgotten for a few moments.
Like a furnace, then they warmed me.
But on this whim which has not warned me
I have fallen from our story.
Now a legend from the past.
I never thought my future could last without it.
But then the whim shouted.

More after than before, and even while I released,
I wondered how one could feel so at peace,
Without a fear that when she turned around,
He wouldn't be there.
And the impulse of a whim was all it took,
To overcome the volumes of a book,
Written across years when I would lie in bed,
And wonder why you wouldn't.
Then wonder why I couldn't,
After doing what I should have done, or shouldn't.
-

"Don't Forget Who Runs this S***"

It used to be the last word was the first thing on my mind.
I'd listen if the other dared, then stepped over the line to scare them back across,
Til they looked lost. Like they've never seen conflict before,
Knowing they can't top the score I scrawled across their memory.
Ya can't stop remembering without the sting. It's lurking when you look up and only see me smirking...

But now I can say I've found less wasteful ways to get by,
Rather than stop your pulse while smothering whatever clever insult you call upon.
Talk yourself along,
Let yourself believe you got me down as wrong.
Honesty’s advantage and I just point and laugh at you.
But the counter which leaves you angry and mute will not escape my lips,
Why should it when I’ve gained an entertainment from your uncontested quips.

I understand, my friend. A joke is all that holds you,
From facing what sad views this life has sold you.
-

[Razola]

Meh.

Don't tell anyone
But this Haiku just might be
One syllable too long

[Chris 2.1]

Wow, nice work Mist! I liked yours too, DratiniHaunter, and Raz, that Haiku was brilliant B-)


Ok, I got some more work....:->



No Silver Lining

I stand here, alone
I stand here, without you,
It's killing me...

My world, it's gone
Crashed and burned,
with no body to embrace,
It's Killing me...

But as I stare
across the world,
I see those more in need.
People crying,
Children dying,
and their call I don't heed.

While you and me,
Can eisily
start and finish just like that,
there are people out there,
with no silver lining,
and that's a solid fact.

[RedStarWarrior]

Clean-Cut American Youth

I want to kill someone
I want to end a life
Going to have some fun
With you under my knife

Wish a slash and a jab
I will fill you with pain.
Where my life was once drab
It's now filled with disdain

Filled with hate for all life
Yours in particular
In a moment of strife
I'll slice your jugular

And as you grow drowsy
Laying in a red pool
Please know I'm not crazy
I'm just really cruel
--------------------------------------------
Noble Sinner

I cursed my soul from within
I filled my heart up with sin
I kill, cheat, and lie
There's no way to justify

As you see from my behavior
I am not your godly savior
So no matter what you say
I'll go to hell anyway

I offer no explanation
But instead accept damnation
I will not fold in fear
And repent when death is near

I deserve what I get
For the God I did forget
And I'm prepared to burn
It's the fate I did earn
--------------------------------------------
The Adjournment of Existence

Allow me to wallow in self-pity,
As I ponder why I'm in this city,
And why I battle just to stay alive,
In a life-long struggle I won't survive.

I think of all my sorrow erased,
And of all the problems I have faced,
I have but only one request,
My sole desire, eternal rest.

Too long have I lived with regret,
The pains of this world I can't forget,
I wonder if it would be alright,
If I were to end it all tonight.

And so with this I do depart,
And nevermore does beat my heart.
--------------------------------------------
The End of an Affair

An open drawer.
Seeking revenge, an upset lover.
Double-cross uncovered.
Loaded pistol, six chambers, full.
One needed, two possible, bullets abundant.
Liar confronted, denying, woman cries.
Weapon drawn, careless aim.
Flash of light, ping of electricity, knocked back.
Second flash, falling body.
Inanimate figure, sprawling on floor.
Down on knees, tears drop, salty rain.
Gun raised, cold on temple.
Trigger squeezed, crimson spray.
Two motionless.
Gun on floor, empty casings.
Silence.
--------------------------------------------
The Strong-Willed Schizo

Death to the demoness,
Decided by joint congress,
Of voices in my head,
Who all want her dead.

I'm running out of time,
And must commit this crime.
Although I doubt their choices,
I must follow the voices.

And now I must kill,
But against my will.
Too bad she will perish,
For all life I cherish.

Who am I kidding?
I can't do their bidding.
I don't believe in death,
And can't take her last breath.

I will not commit sin,
Pushed by those from within.
--------------------------------------------
Trading Halos for Horns

Pitch-black feathered wings
Filled with pure evil
Or charred by the flames
From the fires of Hell

And no chorus sings
To muse the Devil
Of those without names
These halos that fell

And temptation brings
Down to this level
These angels sin tames
And God does expel
--------------------------------------------
Poetry is an outlet for me....say what you will, just don't get mad if I don't care what you think.

For some reason I sang this to the Mentos theme song.

EDIT: Check it out:

'Doo doo doo doo, doo-doo, do-Wah!'

I want to kill someone, I want to end a life. Going to have some fun with you under my knife

With a slash and jab, where my life was once drab, now with Mentos, fresh and full of life.

Fresh goes better, Mentos freshness, fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!

Mentos, the freshmaker!

ONE REASON


There's one reason
Why they call me names
There's one reason
Why they hate me
It's not because
I Lie are kill
It's not the reason
They hate me
The only reason why they do
Is simple as can be
It's because im different
That's why they hate me.

[RedStarWarrior]

Nightmare

I don't understand
Why I can't feel
Anything but pain
This can't be real
I must be dreaming
Please wake me up
This can't be my life
It's not this screwed up
Or maybe it is
And I just didn't see
As it unraveled
In front of me
I can't live like this
I wish it would end
Only God knows
With what I contend
So now I prepare
As I grip this knife
For my last rites
And the end of my li--

[PancaKe]

So many of these that I read seem to be about hatred and stuff and being alone. That is so sad :( Anyway, I wrote something. I dont know if its a song or a poem or maybe both *shrugs* but it is not depressive. I dont know but I think I twisted the words so that it seems depressive and dark but its not. If you read carefully - its quite full of hope.

~Mist

Never

I dont normally get upest
I cant remember the last time
That I was depressed
Thats right, I never was drowning
In sorrows that were never ending
I dont ever remember feeling that way
Feeling my life was at an end
I think I'm pretty lucky after all
Pretty lucky to recieve such grace
And to have such a life to lead
And every day I succeed
If it isnt' ended in tears
And I'm so grateful to you
Lord please keep staying next to me
Keep holding me close
And drying my tears
Whenever I am sad
Keep holidng me tight
And I know you always win the fight
When you defend me from my fears
Keep holding me in your arms
Soothing me and keeping me calm
And I know
No matter when I'm isolated in the crowd
I'll never be alone

[DannyBoy]

~ Stepping Down ~

Stepping down,
Let down my guard,
Get down on the ground,
Gonna make my fists pound,
Running out of time,
Always at the crime,
Im stepping down.

Break my face and soul,
But I will try to stay whole,
My skin turning pale,
Hanging tight on the rail,
I feel my fingers slippin,
With the sound of blood drippin,
What did I do wrong?
I stopped with a bite of my tounge,
I dont want to take no more,
I just want to go,
I am just gonna step down.

[Crystal Tears]

Wow been a while, ty for the replies on mine, and I love everyone's in here. They all have a different point of view on things. Sometimes hard to see though..

Tear For Ginger

I lost someone special to me yesterday,
I came home,
Everything had been going right,
Nothing could have gone wrong,
But When I came home,
Apart of my heart disappeared…
No I didn’t lose my Mother,
No I didn’t lose my Father,
I lost my best friend,
And my only true one,
One who couldn’t betray me,
One that couldn’t hurt me,
One that made me safe…
No I didn’t Lose my Sister,
No I didn’t lose my Cat,
In November,
One a rather cold day,
Was the last day,
I saw my Best Friend,
One I loved,
One who loved me,
One no one could replace…
I lost Ginger,
And so doing,
I lost part of my heart,
A whole is left,
Right where she used to Stand,
Still now,
I come home from School,
Thinking to see her,
I wish to feel her warm, soft fur…
I pray for you Ginger,
I ask God,
To take of her,
I ask for her to teach young Angels to fly,
I was foolish to think that she would never die,
I was foolish to think that she would remain,
But my heart wouldn’t let me think it any other way,
She was 13 years old in Human,
She was 19 years old in Dog.
I donnot care what other people think,
It is okay to cry,
Crying shows you have emotion,
Ginger had to be put down,
She was in pain,
People say it’s okay,
Maryam made a joke,
She can go **** herself,
My dog was my Friend.
Ginger was the best,
She owned everyone else,
She was happy and joyful,
I never got to say goodbye…
I never got to tell her I love her…
I yelled at her,
I screamed at her,
I once kicked her,
How could I be so mean to her?
How could I hurt her?
How can she ever forgive me now?
She’s gone now…
I never got to say sorry…
I never got to tell her I cared…
Moms considering a new dog,
Dad also wants a new dog,
But no matter how hard this new dog tries…
It could never replace Ginger,
Oliver cried last night,
I saw him…
He laid his head down,
His paw over one eye,
And a tear dripped down…
Even if people said Cats can’t cry,
I saw mine cry.
I Hate the vets for not helping her,
I sware to god,
I’ll make it up to Ginger,
I promise Ginger I will.
I go to school now,
Thinking about her,
How her tail used to wag,
How she thought she could speak English,
How she used to look at you with a certain forgiving look,
Somehow..
I think she knew she wasn’t coming home that day..
I loved her so much,
And still the love grows,
I keep telling myself its ok to cry,
But deep inside,
I want to stop,
I want to let go..
But she was there ever since I was born,
She was like another sister,
She was so happy that day,
When she went to the vet,
I bet she was scared…
When she entered that room..
But she went to Heaven…
She has too,
She was nice,
Took care of everyone,
It was the saddest day of my life,
When my dog left this world,
I hate myself for not treating her better,
I hate myself for not being there,
To see her,
It’s ok to be scared…
It just another emotion…
When my Dad told me,
I went and looked through the whole house,
Before I could even accept the fact she wasn’t in the house,
I looked at my dad’s eyes,
Tears,
So many of them had already fallen,
And now,
As he held me for about 8 minutes,
More fell,
I feel the burning truth rip away at my crying heart…
That day,
The World took away a piece of my heart,
For those who think I’m am stupid for crying over my Dog,
Then I don’t care,
I love her,
I’ll never forget her,
Her adorable face,
Her lovely bark,
Her soft warm fur,
Her Happy Wagging tail,
Her puppy dog eyes,
Her ever growing heart,
Her funky dances,
I will never Forget Her.
I will never forget..
The lovely,
The adorable,
The one,
The only…
Ginger…

I can't read that one myself, or I begin to cry.. So forgive me if theres any mistakes....

[DannyBoy]

Crystat Tears wow that is really good and sad. Ginger seemed like a really cool and great dog.

Here are some more of my lyrics. Also before each one I am going to write something about it because when I showed my friends they kept thinking in a different direction in which it doesnt mean so here they are,

For this first song I wrote I got from a friend who told me to take a deep breath and breathe. I got in a fight with my cousin and now everything is resolved and thats were 'Breathe' comes from.


~Breathe~

With my guard down,
I am now more vunrable,
I have no more frown,
I am no more that dull,

I now can feel free to ask,
Anything I need to,
Soon I will have a task,
Not to be very cool,

So long it was no talk,
Now we talk every chance we get,
Now we can give people shock,
No more yelling and fits,
All we can do is breathe,


I just got to let go and breathe,
Now everything feels right,
It feel so good to see that shining light,
No more needs to fight,
I dont have to hold on to myself that tight,
I just go to let go and breathe.



The feel of talking to you,
Makes my day so much better,
And its good to be friends to,
Now whatever anyone says it doesn't matter,

I know we had troubles before,
now everything is clear,
now there is smiling more,
now we have no more fears,
This is the perfect time,

So long it was no talk,
Now we talk every chance we get,
Now we can give people shock,
No more yelling and fits,
All we can do is breathe,


Chorus


I want to say thank you so much,
How that one person got us as friends again,
It is a miricle how this happened with no fuss,
We are good friends like we were when we were ten,

So long it was no talk,
Now we talk every chance we get,
Now we can give people shock,
No more yelling and fits,
All we can do is breathe,

Chorus 2x



THis song I wrote when I was mad but yet tired of being nice to these two people I knew. They treated me badly and thats were you get the her from in it. I still amd nice just not to these people who were two faced.



~Sick of Being Nice~

Tired of saying please and thank you,
Tired of having good manors,
Nothing will ever please you,
I just want to point and blame her,

Im just sick of being nice,
I just want to get into a fight,
I wanna scream **** YOU,
And then kick you with my shoe,
Im sick of being mr. nice,
You always got to pay a price,
Gona shove your mouth full of mice,
Im sick of being nice,

Preasure building up inside,
Soon im going to explode,
I just want to sit and lie,
I wana throw you in the cold,
Tired of being happy,
Tired of kissing ***,
Damn I want to make you feel ****y,
How long will this last?
Till I can jump out and shout it?


Im just sick of being nice,
I just want to get into a fight,
I wanna scream **** YOU,
And then kick you with my shoe,
Im sick of being mr. nice,
You always got to pay a price,
Gona shove your mouth full of mice,
Im sick of being nice,

I am breaking out,
And I'm going to get you,
I am going to show you what I am all about,
There is nothing you can do,
Im not sorry for the things that will happen,
You cant blame me,
You would be like this to,


Im just sick of being nice,
I just want to get into a fight,
I wanna scream **** YOU,
And then kick you with my shoe,
Im sick of being mr. nice,
You always got to pay a price,
Gona shove your mouth full of mice,
Im sick of being nice!




THis is from a very bad relationship I had were it went wrong...you get it.

~Pain you cause~

Every night I stay up and wait,
You say the most convincing words,
It's starting to get late,
Nothing around me is heard,
I thought we had everything,
But damn it I wrong,

You are the cause,
Of my pain and hurting,
I let my guards down for you,
I did everything for you,
you made feel like a fool,
You weild me down like a tool you use,
All you give is an exuse,
Its just the pain you cause,

Im starting to bring back up my walls,
I am starting to lock my doors,
No more walks you want in the fall,
You hit my core,
Time to say good bye,
Time to go,
No more squashing me like a fly,
You just are a ho,
That I dont need no more,

You are the cause,
Of my pain and hurting,
I let my guards down for you,
I did everything for you,
you made feel like a fool,
You weild me down like a tool you use,
All you give is an exuse,
Its just the pain you cause,

And I dont take you **** no more,
You act like a dumb whore,
I am blocking you away,
I dont want to see you on any day,


You are the cause,
Of my pain and hurting,
I let my guards down for you,
I did everything for you,
you made feel like a fool,
You weild me down like a tool you use,
All you give is an exuse,
Its just the pain you cause,


THis is not a dirty song to some who might think it. 'Feel' is about going out to a club and just dancing all night. You have all these bodies around you and it gets overwelming and you get lost in the 'Feel' of things.


~ Feel~

Heat pouring all over me,
Sweat dropping to the floor,
I feel so lost and free,
I dont dare want to go by the door,
Feel of preasure all around my body,
Jumping and yelling in the back,
The feel of you next to somebody,
Here there is nothing you can lack,
Just be free to feel,

Feel,
All over your body,
Feel,
The need to grab a hottie,
Feel,
Sweat dripping over you,
Feel,
Here there is nothing we cant do,
Feel it all night lone,

Cloths sticking to my wet skin,
Feeling the beat in my bones,
In here you always win,
With the feel on different tones,
Tonight your going to hear some moans,
The sound is rising,
Everything so surprising,

Feel,
All over your body,
Feel,
The need to grab a hottie,
Feel,
Sweat dripping over you,
Feel,
Here there is nothing we cant do,
Feel it all night lone,

No way the tempature is dropping,
The only thing dropping is you,
We are gona keep on rockin,
I want to feel you breathe on me,
Heavy breathing will lead the way,

Feel,
All over your body,
Feel,
The need to grab a hottie,
Feel,
Sweat dripping over you,
Feel,
Here there is nothing we cant do,
Feel it all night lone,

[Mystic Flame]

~A Mist Amongst the Land - Poem~
Written by I, Mystic Flame.


The wind blew
the trees swayed.
And there it was
the start of day.

It was not bright,
nor was it sunny...
But eerie and cloudy...


The grass was still
as was the sky
and in the distance
you could hear the cry...

Crying for a better place,
A better place to live.
Where humans and pokemon
would live as one companion.

"Why This?"
the pokemon weeped.
As it lay aside a rock
by itself, and lonely.

Despaired and hurt
this pokemon lay,
as it felt heartache
and dissaray.

And the mist fell over the land.
Covering it like a blanket...
hovering like smoke...
silently
silently
The mist fell

Drizzling the grass
Drizzling the trees
And there was the pokemon
that lay there and weep.

In all of the calmness
and tranquility,
the pokemon lay there silently...
and weep.

[PancaKe]

Crystal Tears, I'm crying. I'm cryin because of your poem! Damn that is so sad! *hugs* I know you'll get thruogh this sad time in your life, I lost my dog like, three years ago, and I still think about her. And she could never be replaced either.

I understand.

~Mist

[Gepunktet]

How many of you guys have like a notebook you keep with you just to write down anythign from whole poems/lyrics to pieces of lines whenever they come to mind?
Just wondering becuase I just started doing that and found that I write in it more consitantly than I would an all out journal but it's still and outlet for me to express myself.
Anywho. . here are a few of mine.

Nostalgia
I hope that you'll be happy all the time
Never lose the way
There's more to what I feel in how I say
You never can by mine
Does it make you sad to know we gave up happy endings,
Searching for a decent place to play?
Isn't it unbearable looking back around,
Knowing everything that's thrown away?
Lost along the way?
Something effervescent in your eyes,
A light that you can't see.
I'd write you if I'd listen once to me
Cast off this disguise,
How is it we broke down all the innocence youth carries?
Sold it with our laughter and good times
Why can't it decisively be lusting or in love?
Save us all a little piece of mind.
Save your heart from dyin'.

Lullaby
I've heard your quiet whispers,
the words never meant for my ears.
Those darkened lullabies rock me to sleep amid my tears
I sit for hours and I drink
The soap to wash the fears away
Make it all okay.


This was written after an ex-boyfriend and now close friend of mine tried to commit suicide about a month ago. A couple of people had thought it was about someone breaking up with me, but that's not the case, especially since that hasn't happened recently.
Untitled
Memories,
I'm not afraid of facing
Cherish
times we often shared
Forever was some of the best times I've ever had
But sometimes things they changes,
People fade away.

Up until this day that I was perfect
How? I never understood.
Open up your eyes from your distorted reality
Why must you hurt like this when I can't?
Why must you breathe my breath, I'm not suffocating.
Why must you cause me so much pain?

Selfish
is all you ever were
dependent
hanging on my word and moment
I couldn't leave your the very reason that I wanted to
Don't wanna see you for all the **** you've put me through.

I wish that I could have you
Hating that you know I never could
But there's no room to love you anymore
Why must you push me when you know I'm on the edge?
Why must you close your eyes to all the ones that care?
Why must we take this path?

Don't think your crying will call me to your aide.
Don't try and reach me, I've closed and locked the gate.
You may be hurting but you'll never know the pain
You left with me
When you left here

[Crystal Tears]

IloveX-TINA: Omg, I love "Feel" so much, your really talented, the others are good to, I like Sick of Being nice, its cool. Breathe cool too, I wish to read more. ^_~

Mist: eeep! Didn't mean to make you cry, I let my friends read it too and they cried, it seems that catchs everyone of gaurd. And thanx for a hug, glad to know I'm not alone. ^_^

Mystic Flame: kool, really captures the pokemons view on battling.

Gepunktet: Nope, I have no notebooks, they're all filled with doodles and homework <_<;;;
Nice your work is, I like the Untitled one the best.

Heres some of mine, a happy one has arrived O_O
(they're kinda like songs but without the chorus)

What is this Feeling?

I am a shadow in the world,
But suddenly,
A chance has opened...
As a new door has opened,
I walk through bravely,
and I join the world of light,
the world of happiness...
What is this place?
Why do I feel a unknown feeling?
What could it be?
It's love,
as I see your face,
as I hear your voice,
I never want you to go away!
You take me for what I am,
You think me as a friend,
Not as a Alien,
But a Human...
And for that I am grateful,
Oh what is this feeling?
It's happiness,
As you smile my way,
I thank you,
You accept me for what I am..
Never have I been noticed,
but you looked my way,
And lightened my day,
Thank you so much!
I feel like I can fly!
I feel like a bird,
I am no more a shadow...
I turn and look everywhere,
To everyone everywhere...
I'm a human being,
I'm more then what I thought I could be!
And I love it so much!
I wish this day could last forver,
when the world noticed me,
The shadow in the world,
I'm more then a Shadow,
I'm more then a deamon,
I'm more then a evil that lurks around the corner,
I'm me.
And I am happy,
And finally,
I have the Right to be...

I most admit, that "What is This Feeling" jitters all over the place, but when you find happiness, you'll feel it too. You don't know what is, but you know your happy.

I'm going to try the song thing...

Judged

"Jennifer when are you going to try and fit in?"
Always the same...
"Jennifer your always going to be a loner until you fit in.."
The same thing...
"Jennifer..."
I'm tired of it...

I caught up in a circle,
Of liars and cheats,
They call themself cool,
They say that they're my friends...
Then why do they judge me?
Why do they torment me?

Chorus

Leave me alone!
Don't judge me for what I'm not!
Let me be!
Leave me here to weep!
Just go away!
Before I get going myself...

End Chorus

You think they could see why I cry,
I'm alone at night,
only my pillow knows my darkest secrets...
Only if they knew me better,
only if they gave me a chance...

But they won't!
Won't leave me alone!
Let me be myself,
let me show you,
what a freakshow can do,
without a cool girl beside her!

Chorus

Leave me alone!
Don't judge me for what I'm not!
Let me be!
Leave me here to weep!
Just go away!
Before I get going myself...

(chorus goes another time befor end)


Right, I suck at righting songs but I don't care! Hope you like it.

~CT~

[Shadow Trainer Ash]

ghosts of the fallen




did you ever make it to
the end of that road?
tell me what it was like...
were you afraid?
or did you cross the finish line
headstrong and proud?

you always liked to fly
holding me in your arms
you never did like walking
but you'd have to come down someday

shackled to the earth
i'm yearning for your arrival
maybe i'm the one who left...
left you alone
maybe your streaming words off your face
which creates the stars in my sky

i whisper your name
every now and then
gaze up into those bleeding stars
that bleed their gaze
on all who weep

for life is but a lingering dream
and you have to wake up sometime
wandering with the spirits
of a world
both awake and dreaming

you said you would come back to me
someday... after you were gone
you left your spirit within me
already a lifeless body
locked away

we are but ghosts on this planet
wandering...
entwined in our guilt
and merciless sorrow

one day i shall awake
and walk away from this nightmare
grasping your hand
and digging my nails in deep

for already the bonds are loosening on me...

fading...
fading...
fading away...

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Sea of Thought

Over a Sea of Dreams,
My mind wanders,
Nothing's as it seems,
My sanity it squanders.

The mist confounds,
Makes me succumb,
To the frightful sounds,
That make me numb.

I'm locked inside my mind,
I've become an outcast,
Everyone else is blind,
To the knowledge I've amassed.

Lost in a Sea of Nightmares,
All for naught,
Destroyed by everyone's glares,
Upon a Sea of Thought.

[PancaKe]

Heyz, yeah. Not much to say. I wrote this song because I wanted to bla bla bla... ^^;;;

~Mist

All The Same

I see you point your finger at me
I see them all do the same
You laugh at me because I'm different
I laugh at you because your all the same

lead astray by the lies that influence your life today
cant you stop and think for yourself
instead letting your life be ruled by somebody else

I stand outside the fence and watch
You herd along with the crowd
When they laugh you laugh when they cry you cry
I watch you drown

lead astray by the lies that influence your life today
cant you stop and think for yourself
instead of letting your life be ruled by somebody else

i observe in great pity
my heart crys out to you
a slave to conformity
and blind to seeing what is the truth
the god of this time has covered your eyes
your helpless and lost without the crowd
and he died so that you could be saved
and he died so you could be changed

-----

lead astray by the lies that influence your life today
cant you stop and think for yourself
instead of letting your life be ruled by somebody else

let the cover be pulled from your eyes
let the light begin to shine
can you see now the darkness has gone
can you see how for so long you were lost

[dratinihaunter13]

I always play around with melodies in my head for those songs ya write mist, fun times ^_^. nice one btw.

Kinda crappy poem, but i think this feeling isn't too uncommon

"Imaginary Friend"

I need someone to understand.
To dig my thoughts out of the sand.
Who can foresee most of my actions.
Tell me my loves and my distractions.

Show me which paved path is mine.
Know my psyche to my favorite wine.
Show me exactly who I am.
Know how to help me understand.

[Razola]

Cabin fever has ravaged all aboard
This once proud vessel has become a floating psycho ward
We were sailing, sailing headed who knows where
And now though we're all here
We're not all there.

Bumped for great justice. I'll have something new soon.

[Royal_Goddess_Tina]

Wow... You are all such amazing writers... I'm not really good with poetry, but I wanted to post some anyway... I wrote these a couple years ago. I think it was when I was in grade 7... They aren't very good, they are extremely corny, and I will probably end up deleting this soon because they are so pathetic... But, oh well, here goes....

Sitting Alone

As I sit here alson,
and play with the phone.
I wonder why,
I have to cry.
I need someone in my life,
so I won't use this knife.
I want someone to always be there,
and I want them to truly care.
I'll need our love to be true,
so I won't feel so blue.
I pray to the moon,
that I meet you soon.
I feel a tear,
as I wish you were here.....

******************************************
and then this is kind of the continuation I guess....
******************************************

Now that You're Here

Now that I found you,
I am no longer blue.
I'm glad you're here,
to end this fear.
I love you so,
amd hope you don't go.
I know you care,
and we have a love most rare.
My love for you will never end,
because there's no pain we can't mend.
I love it when you hold me tight,
in the darkness of the night.
I love you,
and know you love me too.
Everyone knows,
our love is a rose.
It blooms stronger and stronger,
as our love lasts longer and longer.
You are always there,
and we are such a great pair.
I knew our love was true,
before we said "I do."
The beauty of a dove,
symbolizes our love.
Because of you I'm no longer sad,
and for that I'm very glad.
If you weren't here,
I don't know what I'd do dear.
I cherish you so much,
and love it when we touch.
For some things in life you're the only one I've told,
and you're the only one I've been able to hold....

[PancaKe]

Wow, they werent corny! They were cute! ^^;;

This is just something I'm gonna come up with quickly, basically about what im experiencing now...

~Mist

untitled


I wanted to cry today
I wanted to sit there in silence
But knowing me
I dont cry
I dont stop talking long enough to cry
So I didnt
But I felt empty
Because you werent there
It's only been twenty four hours
And I'm missing you
I know I'll see you on Saturday
I'm talking to you on the phone later tonight
But I miss seeing your face
I miss holding you
I miss telling you umbergala tenkatuitsuhen
I miss you
I'm so worried
I need prayre support so much
Another one of my friends wants to die
He says pain is nothing
HE says its been enough
Theres a rough home
Doped up home
Rough school
Its filled with bad kids
He should leave his home
He says that death is the end
But if he dies now
He's gone too far
He'll never see the light
He says
I'm sorry if I'm making you sad
I havent shown you the scar have I
When I tried to kill myself but stopped
Because memories flooded in my mind
Of those whom I cared for
And how it would affect them.
I was angry
I had to put down the knife
And then clean up the blood.
It was a big mess.
I tell him to get out of his home
To seek advice from professionals
But he wont listen
He told me he'd show me the scar on Saturday
If he doesnt get sad.
I dont want him to be sad
I pray for him every night
But sometimes I wish God would hurry up
Sometimes I forget that God is in charge
And think that he should listen to me
Instead of me listen to him.
Sometimes I wonder why I'm here
And then I remember that
"The harvest is plenty
But the workers are few"
And I am here to serve Jesus
Because that is what I am here to do
And although my heart beats faster whenever he is here
And the other my heart weeps bitterly for
I know that God is in charge
And he will work everything out in the end.

[DannyBoy]

Crystal Tears: Thanks I am glad you liked them! I really liked your song Judged its good.

~Run~

Run,
Run,
Run,

I am leaving now and fast,
Everything I remember is now in the past,
I knew this would never last,
I now have a new task,
Just shut up and dont ask,
Im gona run,

Thought it was the best thing,
Not just a little fling,
I am there when I hear that ring,
Pack it up,
Now run!

Running away,
Is the best news I have heard in days,
I am damn sure this is no faze,
But it might be a craze,
I am done,
Now I am just going to run,

No one would ever understand,
I was sick of all the commands,
Sick of all the boring bands,
Want to explore different lands,
No more girls with fake tans,
i just wanted to scream Damn,

Thought it was the best thing,
Not just a little fling,
I am there when I hear that ring,
Pack it up,
Now run!

Running away,
Is the best news I have heard in days,
I am damn sure this is no faze,
But it might be a craze,
I am done,
Now I am just going to run,

Days have gone by,
Wish I could fly.
I wont stop this till I die,
I swear there wont be a hear of a cry,
I know I haven't said bye,
But that would just be a big lie,

Thought it was the best thing,
Not just a little fling,
I am there when I hear that ring,
Pack it up,
Now run!

Running away,
Is the best news I have heard in days,
I am damn sure this is no faze,
But it might be a craze,
I am done,
Now I am just going to run,

I am running away from here,
It is the best news I have heard in so long,
You mad cause this no faze,
Damn right I am crazy for so long,
This run is worst than a maze,
I am now done,
I am going to run,
RUN!

[Saturos]

You know that a ballad is a musical poem, right? Here's a ballad that I wrote for a school project:

Ballad of Seasons

The harsh cold, and short days,
Of silent snow, and how it lays.
The solid ice of wintry freeze,
Makes your nose red, and then you sneeze.

The sun peeks through the cottony clouds,
Birds return and sing aloud.
Ice then melts, and tree buds sprout,
Streams then unfrozen, alive with trout.

Bees and butterflies flutter about,
Clouds break, and the sun is out
Spring showers are now more common,
Flowers unfold, and with beautiful cherry blossoms.

The world is alive, with evermore green,
And how it looks, oh so serene!
Thunderstorms rumble in the evening sky,
It flashes bright, then the mighty roar dies.

Days are getting cooler, with the bright autumn leaves,
Flowers have died, having despersed their seeds.
The birds have left, leaving only a feather,
It is a reminder of the bitter, cold weather...



How do you like it? By the way, I'm a boy. Can't a boy write a mad-piece of poetry like this?
:wave:

[Crystal Tears]

Tawaiwai, all good. My likes Saturos, Mists and IloveX-TINA the best. Not to say the rest arn't good..
IloveX-TINA: Taiwai, thanx for the reply.

Return To Me

My heart pounds for you,
each and every time,
a reminder,
because you ain't there...

How could god be so cruel to me?
How could leave me?
I never knew what I had,
until now,
when your gone..
Come back to me!
please...

Chorus

All of the good times we had together,
how can I forget them,
still I look,
where you used to lie,
where you used to be,
you I thought you would always be...

End Chorus

You were my only friend,
you went away,
and never came back,
and now,
I lie down at night,
hoping and praying for you...

How could you leave me?
when I needed you most?
Still you linger,
your warmth still lies,
in my heart,
I will never see you again,
only in my dreams..

How would I love to take back the words,
that made you leave,
I'm on my knees..
Why did you leave me?

Chorus

You were my only friend,
you went away,
and never came back,
and now,
I lie down at night,
hoping and praying for you...

end Chorus

I gave my heart to you,
I loved you,
Return to me,
And let me see you,
out of my dreams,
let me hear you,
let me say sorry,
let me take back the words..
That made you leave....



Right yet another sad depressing song. Based on all the people and animals that I loved that left me. I hope you like..

Reality Bites

Gaming is my reality,
Your reality is my game,
My life is in a state of duality,

The clock sounds a death knell,
It calls me from the land of dreams,
Into a world of living hell,

The pain of life,
Strikes me swiftly,
Through my heart like a knife,

This world is a jail,
An ancient prison,
That causes me to fail,

It shatters my hope,
And so I escape,
To a place I can cope,

Now I stand upon the heights,
Of the mountains of my world,
Because reality bites.

[DannyBoy]

Jenn that was good, most songs that are written are from experiances people go threw and thats what makes them so good. Darknaster I really like yours to. I can realate to that poem.
Well here is another song I wrote b/c I hate my moms b/f.

~Somethings Got to Give~


Something has to give,
you are out of control,
I feel like I am locked in a deep dark hole,
Just get the **** out and go!
It was supposed to be for two weeks,
Its been over and its hitting the peak,
you god damn freak!

Somethings got to give,
I need to live,
Your ruining my life,
You are worst than a poisonous bite,
Can someone turn on the light?
Then you can see that somethings got to give,

Damn long nights listening to your ****,
now its over and im throwing a fit,
now no more you,
There is nothing you can do,
I kicking you out,
no matter how long it takes,
No more breaks,
This should be a peice of cake,

Somethings got to give,
I need to live,
Your ruining my life,
You are worst than a poisonous bite,
Can someone turn on the light?
Then you can see that somethings got to give,

No weaking me,
You will never see,
You will run when its all done,
Im strong,
Your weak,
Im going to win,
You are nothing compared to me,
Im so much more,
And your a waste of time,

Somethings got to give,
I need to live,
Your ruining my life,
You are worst than a poisonous bite,
Can someone turn on the light?
Then you can see that somethings got to give,

[Razola]

Better Than You

I know that you're thinking
that you've got a crummy life
So much pain and suffering
Misery, conflict and strife
And you know what, my friend?
You are asbolutely right.

I'm...better than you...
Yes, I'm better than you.
No matter what you do
I'll always be better than you.

I've more friends than you
I've more money than you
I drive a better care than you
I've more clothes than you
And hey, I look better in them, too.

You might think that I'm a jerk
But sadly, that ain't the fact
You're just a whiney little brat.

I'm better than you.
Better than you.
Even if i was split in two
My left half would still be better than you.

I've got so much
You've got piddle
People adore me everywhere
While they care for you little

So don't be in denial
You know it's true
I'm better
than you

[Kris]

I wrote this morning and guess I just want to know what you think:

You

You say you do not love them
You say their in your past
You know that you enjoyed it
You know it went too fast

You try to ignore your mind
You try to ignore your heart
You fail and start to search
You no longer want to part

You search for the one you love
You hope he hasnt gone
You finally find him and go to smile
You find thats he's moved on

You walk away with a tear in your eye
You feel like you want to die
You dont realise that he's seen you leave
You dont see him start to cry

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Hate

They hate me,
They tear me down,
They don't see,
The reason I frown.

I'm torn up inside,
I hold back my tears,
In myself I confide,
All of my fears.

I lock myself away,
From all their hate,
And I know one day,
They will meet their fate.

Their voices are sweet,
Their words are like knives,
As I sink in my seat,
And listen to their lies.

They hate me,
And I hate them in return,
I cannot be free,
But I can make their souls burn.

[Psychic_Suzanne]

Hahaha, this one's stupid. I hate it. I spit upon it and grind it into little tiny bits.

Oh, ten Janis thorns and a hunting knife to anyone who can figure out which TV character this is based on.




Teacher

So frustrated, because I don't understand you
So tired, because I keep on trying to
So confused, because my mind keeps racing.
I am opening myself
Learning the ways of my enemies
And maybe someday
I'll know enough.

Alice in Wonderland?
She chases the rabbit,
But she doesn't want to eat him.
Why?

You smile crooked, and talk riddles
Like the Tesh. Big words,
Ones that I don't understand.
But I listen!
Why?

I respect you, since you are wise,
But you are nothing like I think you should be.
Brave, strong, and skilled--
yet you hate to kill.
You fight with words.
Why?

I don't understand you,
But I keep trying to.
Caged lions pacing.
Big books on a shelf.
Only someone else sees.
I've decided to stay.
Enough.

But why?



Comforts

I sat, lonely. My shift
Was over, but I knew
That my mind would drift
All over the road home.

Sitting in the booth,
I knew I was alone again.
I stood to face the truth,
And almost hit the stranger.

"Sorry," I said, keeping
My eyes down.
I wasn't sleeping
Well. You know the feeling.

"Are you all right?" He
Sounded so sincere
Like -the boy-'s poetry
Before it were about me.

I looked up, met
A manic smile and
Blue eyes set
In a laugh-lined face.

"No." It came out
like an explosion.
I -never- shout
So when did I start?

But instead of being
Shocked or still or
Politely fleeing,
He nods sagely.

"I'm sorry," I moan.
"What's the matter?"
Suddenly I'm not grown
I'm a little girl, weeping.

I stammer and begin
To tell him, choked,
Everything and then
He touches my cheek.

"Chin up, dear heart,"
He grins lopsidedly.
"I've just had to start
Life again as well."

And I fall into
His arms, weeping.
"What do I do?"
And he thinks...

And pauses...

And asks,
"Have you ever wanted
To see the universe?"



Ok, if you got the first one, you probably got the second. I know, they're not great. But -I- had fun.

BTW, I liked "Better Than You". And since I'm a puntuation freak, "You" didn't have enough puntuation and "Hate" had to much. :: braces for the wrath of the writers :: sorry, I'm not the best critic...

~Sunny

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

I don't care about punctuation very much in my poetry--it's the words that really matter. Aaaanway, here's one I wrote after I took my Careers final today

The Angel of Death,
Bringer of darkness,
Taker of breath.

He takes the form
Of a heavenly demon,
His robes black and torn.

Red eyes burn,
Like blazing embers
As he says it's your turn.

He raises his glaive,
A gruesome blade,
Your soul he enslaves.

Ebony wings of fear,
Flaming eyes,
The Angel is near.

Blood is red,
Your lips turn blue,
The Angel of Death
Is coming for you.

[Psychic_Suzanne]

Based on a Robert Frost poem ("A Time to Talk"). I wrote it by accident (LOOO-ooong story, trust me) in English class.

A Time to Be Still

When a friend sits back and meets my eyes,
His, full of things that I have never known,
I don’t break the silence with some
Question that can wait, or rise
To pace, or find another thing to do.
No, not as there is a time to be shown
That sometimes, to silence you must succumb—
And into happy silence fall,
Listening to a siren call
From a universe that’s calling out to you.

[PancaKe]

Those poems are really cool! I swear, some of you guys write so great that they make me cry!!!! :P bleh!

~Mist

One Way Street

I tried to sit alone
Tried to talk to God
Tried to read my Bible like I should
Tried to think of camp
Tried to watch the box
Tried so hard to get you off my mind
Is this all right?

I dont know if I should be feeling guilty
Or if you should be feeling lucky
Whenever I'm not near you
Whenever I'm away
You the only thing on my mind to stay

Its like a one way street
On it my thoughts are walking
The tarred path leads to you
To your smile to your arms
To your open embrace

This is sickening me
Why am I thinking this?
My love is for Lord Jesus
And all I think about is you
Its really annoying me
Really cheesing me
Really not pleasing me
Even if it pleases you
I worry if
I should be thinking
Only of you
Because I dont want to be left behind
Left behind waiting
For you

But you mean the world to me
You mean the world to me
I cant get that out of my head
And I hope
Im not the only one
That the one way street is two
One path leads to me
The other leads to you

Bah that is so soppy!

Bah--we love you too.

Trying to increase my posting average--it's an uphill battle. Anyway, here's a song I wrote--I'm gonna make a tune for it later.

Beyond Belief

I don't think I know you
You don't seem from around
Not like me
Not with me
You're a total stranger
And when I stare at you
You don't stare at the ground
Not like me
So strangely
You meet my eyes and smile

Couragous
Most certainly
Outragious
Beyond belief
But how, but why, but when did you come here?

I don't think you're like us
You seem so free to move
Not like me
So closely
You resemble no one I know
And when you stand next to us
Your movements are so smooth
Not like me
Unlikely
That you're from anywhere near

Friendly
Most certainly
Endearing
Beyond belief
But why, but how, but when did you come here?

I think that I like you a bit
You're naive but so wise
Not like me
Completely
Can I go with you far away
You know I'll be good for it
Look me in the eyes
Not like me
Infinitely
Have you ever fallen in love?

You're so
You're far
Beyond belief...

[Mewtwo-D2]

So here's where the poetry corner is... This is actually a song I wrote for a character of mine, Thea Moonbeam. She could have had ultimate power in the multiverse, gave it up for love, but was betrayed and murdered by her lover.


Sweet As Death (Thea's Song)

Once you were singing,
Softly, sweetly
Singing in the brightest daylight
Only you, my love,
Could've sung so fair a tune.

Hours in the sunlight playing
Softly, sweetly
Knotting worries into chains of daisies
You, my love,
Could touch my soul.

Then I heard you,
Softly, sweetly,
Whispering the evil's words
You, my love,
Had sold your soul.

I saw you then,
Softly, sweetly,
Light before the darkness fleeing
Once my love,
But now no more.

Blackest night comes
Softly, sweetly
Treading on the lightest paws
No, my love,
Never coming any more.

Felt you touch me,
Softly, sweetly,
Darker than the moonlight shadows
Felt, my love,
You crush my heart.

Blood is flowing,
Softly, sweetly
Red as the cursed moon above
Held my love
As I lay dying.

Felt the darkness then surround me
Softly, sweetly
Like a friend.
But friends no more, when you my love
Traded your heart for something more.

Love was sweet, but sweeter still,
Softly, sweetly,
Came the lure of power.
So great it was, my love
That you gave your lovers life.

Now I slumber,
Softly, sweetly,
Somewhere between heaven and earth
Waiting, my love
For one last kiss forevermore.

[mistysakura]

WARNING: This poem is cliched, even for my usual standards. anyway, this is actually a song -- my first song that I actually put on paper -- and I have a really bad recording of it... I think I'll blame the tape recorder. :D Anyway, here goes... and if anyone could think of a title, that would be cool.


Untitled

Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are...

Night
I glance up at the sky
Stars shine, sparkling bright
The lights
Tiny specks of diamonds
Far away, on a distant shore

I used to believe
There were mysteries behind
The veil of glitter, the curtain of unknown
But then I realized
Our world beneath the sky
Left no room for pretending, or imagining fantasies

I no longer believe in stars
I don't expect my wishes to come true
No one, nothing will be my guide
On the path I must tread alone

Fear
Of what everything will be
I'm feeling trapped in my little world
I gaze
Through the window at the stars
And I pray for assurance, that everything will be okay...

Quit it.
You're just a little child
Clinging onto nothing but blindness.
Someday,
A wind will throw you off the cliff
Falling into the deepest abyss
Too late to wake up then...

And that's how I learnt
I no longer believe in stars
I don't expect my wishes to come true
No one, nothing will be my guide
On the path I must tread alone
I no longer believe in stars...

[PancaKe]

Ada, that was very different. Like, it sounds as though you've lost all hope in anything beyond what you can physically see. Was that your .. wats the word... inspiration to write that?

Here's someting I wrote.

~Mist

24 / 7 Job

Following God
Is not a part time job
Or a casual position.
It's not something
you can retire from.
What about sick leave?
Holiday, extended leave?
Maternity, paternity leave?
They don't exist.
Following God
Is a 24/7 job
All day, every day
All your life.
So why hold off?
Now is the time to start the job!
In the end
The result is much better
than any pay check.
What price is put on eternal life?

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

The End

Everything turns into dust,
But I know,
We will survive,
And the world will go on.

Everything turns to ash,
But we feel,
All is okay,
And life will go on.

Cities are destroyed,
Civilizations crumble,
But we stand strong,
Against the sands of time.

Fire may ravage the plains,
Ice may tear the mountains apart,
But we huddle together,
And comfort each other.

Everything turns to darkness,
And they fear,
The end is near,
And tomorrow won't arrive,

Everything turns to chaos,
And they panic,
The end has come,
And world is going to end.

Amidst the havoc,
We few remain calm,
Secure in our minds,
Order will settle on the world.

Within the shadows,
We stay close,
And whisper to each other,
The light will come again.

[Toxicity]

I've had this small idea written down for awhile, inspired by one of my RPG characters...Laura Anderson from Mirai- Awaiting Salvation. She, in the Digital World, fears death will come to her, fromhe experiences: losing her boyfriend, being rejected by a few of the Dark Digidestined, and thinking whoever is the bringer of death is right behind her.


Life on the Inside(Laura's Song)

By Gothic Latias


Has nobody noticed the way a rose will grow?
But from what I see, only I shall ever know.
Thrown away, my life like a shirt out-worn,
I have been rejected, emotionally torn.


Against my own will, I was forced to see
the fact that you are rather blind to me.
Nobody will understand what life is like,
when you lose someone, who you somewhat like.


Death...a fate I shall someday meet,
But if I am this way, it'll be less than a week.
Calling out to me, into the misty black,
You have no response, but a road with a crack.


But, oh, this is life on the inside,
where, from in my coil, you're on the outside.
I swear, from the taste of one bitter tear,
I have noticed, you were immobolized by fear.


Deep down, lies my dark past,
I have memories I wish I didn't have.
Letting go, is a difficult task,
for I cannot forget about this past.


The fallen angels lying lifelessly at my feet
are the only ones who know what fate I will meet.
But the angels of darkness, sprites of a lie,
Are bringing to me death directly from behind.


I desire to change my ways to be with the one I love,
But, it seems its forbidden by a barrier from above.
You are all assuming, I'll be safe in my room,
but the darkness inside of me, would begin to bloom.


But, oh, this is life from the inside,
where, from in my coil, you're on the outside.
The betraying light emitted from a bitter tear,
shows me that you were immobolized by fear.

[mistysakura]

Mist: Try the first section of The Coin Flip... see if it helps you understand my inspiration... The stanzas don't really ift togehter, but whatever.
Gothic Latias, your poem's really good. I usually think that rhyming ruins the beauty in a poem, but in your case, it definitely doesn't.



The Coin Flip

Life, a series of coin flips
Somewhere out in the universe
Determining your fate
In the time it takes a shooting star
to whizz past your eyes.
You may wish or hope as much as you like
You may plead, protest --
But no one will listen to your cries.
When the coin lands
Your destiny is sealed.

Yet, there is still hope for us.
Every day of every year
People around you try
To bias their coins
Weighting a side with gold and silver.
But there is no coin
That can be biased so much
So that it always lands on the same side.
When the coin lands
Your destiny is sealed.

[PancaKe]

I wrote it ages ago... dont remember why...

~Mist

Its everywhere not hiding
I see it there its blinding
My vision impared from the sighting
Hypocrocy I'm not perfect
Neither are they
Its the endless cycle
We live and die
The way our life is
We call ourselves
Servents to the Lord
And then we wake up
And do nothing at all
All
Its staring right in the face
Its glaring slowing my pace
Must remember its not a race
To be perfect, because I'm not
Neither are they
Its the endless cycle
We live and die
The way our life is
We call ourselves
Servents to the Lord
And then we wake up
And do nothing at all
This isnt a Sunday only thing
This isnt a one day quick pray thing
This isnt an I believe yeah okay thing
Its not a name
But a life change
Its not a name
A way of new beginning
Its not a Sunday routein
But a lifetime job
So get on with it
We call ourselves
Servents to the Lord
And then we wake up
And Get on with it

[mistysakura]

The idea for this came as I was trying to get to sleep last night, and I just had to get up and write it... and it's different from my other two. This actually rhymes; rare occurence for me, as in my opinion rhyming makes stuff sound corny, but I guess it rreally fitted this poem. So here it is.

She walks along the corridor
She reaches the lift, it opens its door
She stands in a crowd, all alone
She absorbs herself in a world of her own
She steps out into a polluted street
She waits impatiently; she's almost late for her meet
She gets on a bus and pays the fare
She curses; it's taking forever to get there

She looks out the window, and sees a boy
She marvels, for he's happy though he has no toys

He frolics in the park without a care
He smiles at the flowers growing over there
He glimpses a butterfly blue as the sky
He grins as it comes fluttering by
He watches as it lands on his arm
He sees it fly away, though he did it no harm
He falls over as he takes up a chase
He picks himself up and continues the race

And the cause of his happiness finally gets her
She realizes she never properly saw the things around her

She smiles at the old lady next to her to say,
"Hi, I'm Rebecca. How was your day?"

[PancaKe]

I liked that Ada, nice perspective on life. People really should look at life like that, it would make the world a much nicer place. :)

By the way, doesnt' it seem like we're the only two people posting here?

~Mist

Clinging

things are not possible on their own
life is not a solitary movement
i need your hand to guide me through
i need your hand to cling on too
because when i find im on my own
its when i forget your always by my side

and then i stumble
and then i fall
when i lose sight
of what i'm living for
and then i tumble
i bring myself down
take a look in the mirror
turn my ways around

people persecute me for my faith
when they make fun of me i think its great
ive got your hand to guide me through
ive got your hand to cling on to
because when i find im on my own
its when i forget your always by my side

and then i stumble
and then i fall
when i lose sight
of what im living for
and then i tumble
i bring myself down
take a look in the mirror
turn my ways around

when i am weak thats when i am strong
when i am tired thats when i go long
god will use my failures and change
them into triumphs of faith

[Crystal Tears]

AHHHHHHHHH NO! I'm here to, just taking a break, beautiful poem misty and same with yours mist.
Misty Mist?? Oiy confusion..

A Lion and a Bird


The gleaming on ones eyes,
When the bird hits the skies,
sweeping through the underbrush,
with such a great rush,

With Feathers as black as the Night,
Keeping them hidden from enemy sight,
A Sword would clash,
As the Lion would slash,
The Raven warrior was so brave,
As he would not be sent to his grave,

When the soldiers signed the petition,
I guess they didn't count on riding me,
A Griffin.



Thats about it, sorry, but tough time ahead of me. So less time to think.

~JennJenn~

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Night

Night brings the ice,
That makes the trees gleam,
Boughs dripping with liquid silver.

Night brings the cold,
That destroys all life,
Leaving frozen corpses.

Night brings the darkness,
That haunts your dreams,
And keeps you awake.

Night brings the death,
That ends all pain,
Leaving a morbid peace.


Traveler

Look to the past,
But don't look back,
Move forward,
But remain in the present.

Travel through time,
Sift through history,
Run to the future,
Mysterious nomad.

We are but pebbles,
In the river of time,
Only one can control time,
The traveler.


Rules and Rebellion

Rules and rebellion,
Order and chaos,
Darkness and light.

Rules are made,
Bent and broken,
And tossed away.

Laws are passed,
And disregarded,
As the uprisings begin.

The light stops shining,
When darkness consumes,
And destroys logic.


Borrowed Time

I cannot be killed,
I'm already dead,
I've been living on borrowed time.

They strike me down,
But I remain standing,
I'm living on borrowed time.

They ban me from my life,
They curse me forever,
I was living on borrowed time.

My time is up,
I fall away,
It's time to pay it back.

I'm out of borrowed time.


I am Lost

I am lost,
In the river of time,
Trapped beneath the waters.

I am lost,
In a storm of pain,
That cannot be escaped.

I am lost,
In the flames of jealousy,
That cannot be put out.

I am lost,
In cinders of hate,
That will never die out.

I am found,
Amongst the rubble of life,
To be reborn again

[Gepunktet]

Heh, I post every great once and a while along with several others. I went through a period where I wrote a lot more fun carefree poems recently followed by a few brought on my recent boyfriends so I think I'll type up one or two of those along with some others.

Mist: I'll be the first to admit that I'm far from a religious person however, I like your poems. When they rhyme it never seems forced and flows nicely, something few people seem to be able to accomplish. The use of repetition, which seems to be an element of your style, doesn't get annoying and lines don't seem to ever be repeated to many times. I'd have to say that quite a few of the poems that you've written are some of my favorites here and rather inspiring.

MistySakura: I know what you mean about the rhyming thing. I feel the same way about it usually and especially dislike lines that seem to be thrown in there simply to continue to rhyme scheme.
I like that poem though and how each line starts the same. My favorite line is a few you used to describe the little boy. I got a mental image of a little kid playing in the park when I read it. ^^
If only more people were positive and opptimistic like that.

Moving on to the poems. .

Untitled
I could make you happy for a moment.
Light a cigarette and stay a while.
How can I define the space between us?
With temptations and with lies.
Half completed sentences
Document this waste of time.


Scorpio
I don't think about you,
when I close my eyes.
Hear your words unspoken,
drift into my mind.
I don't feel rejected,
if you pass me by.
I can't feel neglected,
there never was a second glance, a chance to show you how.
Forgive, I lost my mind.
It left me, for a second time.
The timing always coincides with you entrance, and I wonder,
It's not that I regret it,
you get me every time.
I just can't accept it,
know it isn't right.

(this was one of those fun goofy poems. . )
Poison of Summer
The sun comes up, the party's starting to end.
When it retreats, we'll start it up again.
The liquor's flowing, 'though we're under-age this time.
It doesn't matter.
There's too many choices, too many problems.
Just lookin' for fun and I found you,
but we're through,
stop and lie around on a big beach towel,
beneath the warm sunshine.

A virus you can't be rid of,
Although it grows weak with time.
There's no vaccine to calm us down,
each year it gets spread around.
Disease control can never make things sane.
The poison of summer's pulsing through our veins.

Houston
I don't care about the other girls you see,
Just please don't, baby, forget about me.
I won't break down, I won't even try.
'Though I might cry myself to sleep.
A small piece flickers and it dies.

Like the Springs* in October, there's no spontaneous laughter.
Nobody's coming over any more.
Maybe it's time to back my bags without one last good bye.
Quietly slip out and close the door.

The horoscope said today would be a damned day,
occasionally they're right.
Smile and hold my head up high,
I only listen when things go my way.

And I've had those moments when there's no one else around.
The passion's been compounding,
it's about to all go down
So I don't really care about the other girls you see,
Just please, baby, don't forget about me.
And I promise to do the same.

*the springs are a local hangout out during the summer where I live just incase you were wondering.

Jay
Sun rise
look how it's vibrant
variety of colors, emotions to display
Enchanting in the quiet,
a sweet melody emits
unique as the creator, an original song.

Spontaneous
three past midnight
head down south, uptown, leavin' it all behind
Undressing
devoid of lust
intentions easy to see, painfully hard to read

Never felt d*** near worthy all the times you'd cling to me
The questions, expressions, responded with confused answers.
Complex ideas dwelling so deep in such an intricate life
Never felt like such a hypocrite,
innocent,
inadequate as here.
Inadequate.


Introvert
Define yourself, twenty-five words or less
Can you capture the essence of your soul?
Or would you stumble, wondering, the meaning of your life?
Searching for a key another holds,
to clue you in to your inner soul.
All the battles that are fought,
in the middle of the night.
In silence, without violence, deep within our minds.
Continue on, day by day,
writing the screenplay of our lives.
When the curtain closes are you left wondering
did the last scene turn out right?
I'm waiting to find another,
uncharted territory to explore.
In this intellectual intercourse, I can lose this new self I've found.
For I've memorized every inch, unlocked every secret
In knowing
there are some things never known.


That was a few more than I intended which made for a rather long post. . ^^;

[DannyBoy]

Wow, there is some good stuff but it looks like Misty and Misty are having a Rythme off here. Well I haven't posted something in a while but I have something now.


~Thats How I like it~

The Very way you look and stare,
The way you make this game always fair,
How you always feel the need to care,
I hope you know I will always love you,
No matter what we do,
You were that one missing shoe,
Now your always fun to find,
You are the one I will forever be with,
I can't help feeling this,

Thats how I like it o yea,
Baby you know how I like it when I am with you,
Thats how we make it,
You I can never replace,
What an unbelieveable feeling,
So much to deal,
But with that I kow it's real down to the feel,
Thats how I like it ugh o yea,
Ya know thats how I like it,

The lyrics to are favorite songs,
All equal up to all are wrongs,
No matter where I am, I am with you,
No matter who there, you rule,
NO I am not a fool,
All we have is are destiny,
But when I am gone, will you remember me,
Love you, love you, love,
Yes I love you,

Thats how I like it o yea,
Baby you know how I like it when I am with you,
Thats how we make it,
You I can never replace,
What an unbelieveable feeling,
So much to deal,
But with that I kow it's real down to the feel,
Thats how I like it ugh o yea,
Ya know thats how I like it,

So much love we have,
We know everything about each other,
We are dangerously in love like Jay-Z and Beyonce,
With that said you have nothing else to say,
Just tell me you are ok,
Love you, love you, love you all night and day,

Thats how I like it o yea,
Baby you know how I like it when I am with you,
Thats how we make it,
You I can never replace,
What an unbelieveable feeling,
So much to deal,
But with that I kow it's real down to the feel,
Thats how I like it ugh o yea,
Ya know thats how I like it,

I was feeling a little melancholic today so I jotted down these two poems. They're both about someone who's lost someone close to them and they're trying to explain how they feel so...yeah, r&r please.

Poem 1:

How can I word this saddness?
This weight that drowns my heart.
Saddness that now,
with each long day,
is pulling it apart.

Poem 2:

I have watched my garden dying.
The sun did rise and fall.
Your presence stopped these days from coming.
But I can't sense you anymore.
Why is it that I call your name,
as I lie awake in bed?
Why is it that I pray to you,
though I know that you're not dead.
I wish I'd been there on tha day,
I really wish you'd call.
I wish I couldn't taste your lips,
How can you love me anymore?


So err...lemme know what ya'll think

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Black Dawn

A black dawn shines,
As the dark sun rises,
And hurls into shadows,
A world of light.

The obsidian sun rises,
The onyx moon sets,
The people hide in the light,
The day is as dark as night.

A black dawn looms,
As the dark sun watches,
And takes the innocents,
Away from the world.

Their loved ones look on,
Then end their lives,
They are dead,
Together again with those they lost.

A black dawn ends,
As the light returns,
And dispells the darkness,
As it shines upon the land.

War

War brings death,
And death brings sorrow,
But sorrow is overcome.

Skirmishes bring victory,
And victory brings cheer,
But the battle scars will never heal.

War is not won,
When lives are lost,
But when none are left to lose.

Skirmishes do not end,
When the battle is over,
But continue within your mind.

War is inevitable,
As long humans live,
With hatred in their hearts.

[Last Exile]

Clint Eastwood (The Ryan Mendes remix)

This world is in a crisis, enough has now been said
It's time to take action, get that stuck into your head!
Political mass mania has taken control of the street
And before you know it, implants will be ruling your feet
Don't believe everything that you read or that you see
You've only got one life and nothing comes for free
So don't let fake wars be fought for you
Make sure your heart is warm and true
Purity is a concept, not something that exists
But good and evil are for real, on that I do ensist!

So pick off, and take off, and then finally let off
Before you finally head off
Make sure today is something you take hold of
Even if tomorrow is something you're never sure of
Vent all your daily anger while listening to this song
Spread your love to someone else all day long
If not, I'll stick you in the wicket in front of the sticks
And Adam Gilchrist will smash you for six!
For six! For six!


Japanese animation is a reflection of reality
It consists of dreams and the things you never see
Because you're hypnotised by American TV
And all the endless crap that you're eternally forced to see
So switch off the tube and go outside
Remember how good it is to be alive
Recall what it is to have a dream
And that not everything is always what it seems
The individual matters
Even when everything shatters
The human spirit will endure
Believe in something and search for the cure
This sickness may be something that is always within us
But if we all pull together, it will never ever beat us!
This sickness is something we call hate
Make sure you control it before it's all too late
Before 5 billion people are wiped off the Earth
Treasure that miracle we refer to as birth
Don't believe all the hype about national security
Reach into your heart and ride on into infinity!
tee, tee, tee, tee, tee, tee, tee, tee...

[StellarWind]

I've written this yesterday.. or early morning today.. same thing to me.

A Poem, of Sorts...

I've closed my eyes
Lost in my own head
Again, I have rushed in
Where angels fear to tread

Seeking out the words
Thinking what to say
But unfortunately for me
I couldn't find a way

To put what's on my mind
In accurate detail
Into written form
... What a pain in the tail.

So instead of calling off
Yet another failed attempt
I decided to write randomly
And now i'm quite content

It's not much of a poem
It's rather bad, I know
But when you're out of inspiration
Heck, anything will go!

So if it's pretty lousy
In rhyme, or form,
Or all the rest...
Please forgive this silly lifeform
He really, really tried his best.

[SmearGal]

Very nice poems everyone. o.o';; Guess it's time to show off my... er... "talent." The first one's kind of a joke; I wrote it so I wouldn't fail English. Fear it, the sequel to Jabberwocky!

Wabberjocky

'Twas evening, and the flaming sun,
Gave off its final light,
When out came the Wabberjock;
The terror in the night.

"Son, beware the Jabberwock,"
Would have been the warning said,
But that was many years ago,
Jabberwocky's dead!

The crowd, of course, was joyous,
Now Jabberwocky's gone!
But evil was not vanquished,
For his brother came along!

Wabberjocky came from,
The forests of the old,
His eyes were blue and evil-like,
His head looked that of gold.

His claws were sharp and pointed,
His scales were sleek and prim,
His roar was a volcano,
Which would frighten even him!

He slithered into town one day,
Looking for revenge,
His brother’s death was on his mind;
(A death he must avenge!)

He came upon the castle,
And beat against the door.
Grabbed the nearest castle guards,
And dragged them to his moor!

The King, of course, was angered,
"How dare the beast take them!"
He sent his grandest army,
To invade the monster's fen.

The army traveled on and on,
Searching for the bog.
They came upon a trodden road,
Which led them through the fog.

And then they came upon the marsh,
And fought the evil bane,
Except they never did return;
Each one of them was slain!

The King called to his son, the Prince,
To help him save the day,
He told him of the desperate state,
And the Prince went straight away.

He galloped on his trusted horse,
Through the sun and rain,
Hoping to find the Wabberjock,
And fight evil once again!

He came upon his swampy home,
Yelling challenge for the beast,
Wabberjock came out of hiding,
Hoping for a feast!

Swish, Swish! Clang, Clang!
The sword could not get through,
The Wabberjock took up his claws,
And slashed at "Princey," too!

The battle raged for hours,
And when the beast did pause,
The Prince swung his mighty sword,
And got rid of its sharp claws!

The Wabberjocky screamed aloud,
And the Prince regained his head,
He aimed a careful stroke-of-sword,
And Wabberjock was dead!

He rode back to the kingdom,
The King was filled with joy!
He held out his arms with delight,
And hugged his darling boy!

And after a few more years,
The King (once Prince) has found,
Babbylocki, their sister;
Is stirring underground...

Meh, it left room for my friend to write about Babbylocki. There's a whole family. O.o';; 'Cept she tries to become King.

Poetry corner ^v^ I like reading everyones poetry, who knew there were so many poets on TPM? :o

I have one ^-^ This I wrote a couple days ago in about 5 minutes for my first post in an RPG (The Ditto Files), my character was looking out the window at a warm, slightly breezy summer day on the last day of school before summer vacation, so it was really easy to find the inspiration for this ^v^

~Summers~
The summer wind,
became my friend,
on that green and gold summer day.
That summer rain,
will come again,
to wash the dust of day away.
The leaf of green,
its golden sheen,
Against the trunks of trees I lay.
The children play,
On summer days,
If only carefree summers stayed.


I have a lot more poems I just have to hunt for my notebooks lol ^-^()

[dratinihaunter13]

thanks for the poetry sharing everybody =)

here is a simple one, cuz i want it to be simply said to her. like that's gonna happen.

"Pass Your Rejection"

he's so hot
you want him
sexy looks are becoming everything for you
he rejected you and you've never felt worse
you didn't look good enough for him when looks meant everything to you
you hate that looks suddenly meant everything to you
you're so beautiful
i love you
looks are everything to you
so looks are becoming everything to me
you rejected me and i've never felt worse
i didn't look good enough for you when looks meant everything to me
i hate that looks suddenly meant everything to me
he made you hate yourself
you made me hate myself
the same situations
except
you have me to tell it to (you pass me your rejection)
i don't have you

[DannyBoy]

This is one of my saddest songs I have ever written. In a whole and you think about it, it can be explicit. This is about a friends of mine and this has to be one piece I will never forget.


Lonely Girl





Pain that’s hurting me, All the shouts and screams, As I try to sleep and dream, But yet nothing will remain, When I open my eyes, You were taken away, By the sharpness of a long blade, To bad you couldn’t look at all the dreams we had, The haunting memories I have, Play on and on and on, I can’t tell anymore, Was I that bad of a friend? I cared, I loved, I was there in the darkest times, As you sat and read your rhythms, Now all that is left, Is a mind audio of your voice, Slipping fast, Threw my fingers, I feel like I dropped you now nothing is left.

You were my life, My power, My act of reason, Can’t act now without treason, Damn you for and now I scream please free me, Of a lonely heart torn away by sadness.

On the run, From every darkening corner, Every time I used to phone her, On the verge of reckoning, She’s starting to break in, Hoping she will fall in, Will she remember him? As the lights become dim, Sorry I couldn’t save you, I tried my hardest but everything fell apart, Will this hell end, to this I say to my lonely girl.

Dreams of moving and growing lost in time, I wanted to be the star, You wanted to be the dream, So much laughter and life, But was it all a recurring show of the same matter? This **** is taking over my head, As you lay in your bed, Your body slowly dying, Crying, I cross my fingers everyday hoping you will come, But still I am running, As fast as I can, I never knew life could get this bad, So sad, The loss of a young youth who had so much time, She never committed a crime, I would have given anything to help her, I wish I had a cure, But I couldn’t find the lure, So I sing these words to her.

You were my life, my power, my act of reason, Can’t act now without treason, Damn you for and now I scream please free me, of a lonely heart torn away by sadness.

On the run, From every darkening corner, Every time I used to phone her, On the verge of reckoning, She’s starting to break in, Hoping she will fall in, Will she remember him? As the lights become dim, sorry I couldn’t save you, I tried my hardest but everything fell apart, Will this hell end, to this I say to my lonely girl.

Breaking it up, Losing control with out a doubt, So heart torn I can’t even find my dream, Is there anything I can redeem, Just to become free, Sorry girl, I tried to hard to make you see, Wish I knew if you feel the way I do know, I know you were strong hearted, Please tell me it was not a dream made of a simple lie, When I heard you cry, Was it all lie? I know deep inside it wasn’t, But still I declare to present this, Because you were the one, You showed me what meant to live each day to the fullest, You taught me not to give a ****, My only wish was to make you do the same, Only if you lived by your word, Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, I tried, I lost on the way, If only I stayed on a little longer, Maybe I could change the way you and me feel, I know people will always care!

You were my life, my power, my act of reason, Can’t act now without treason, Damn you for and now I scream please free me, of a lonely heart torn away by sadness.

On the run, From every darkening corner, Every time I used to phone her, On the verge of reckoning, She’s starting to break in, Hoping she will fall in, Will she remember him? As the lights become dim, sorry I couldn’t save you, I tried my hardest but everything fell apart, Will this hell end, to this I say to my lonely girl. Yes I feel you were a lonely girl. All you had to do was feel free to ask, Oh how much everyone cared, only if it wasn’t deep inside of your mind, come on and share, god damn this **** an’t fair!

On the run, From every darkening corner, Every time I used to phone her, On the verge of reckoning, She’s starting to break in, Hoping she will fall in, Will she remember him? As the lights become dim, sorry I couldn’t save you, I tried my hardest but everything fell apart, Will this hell end, to this I say to my lonely girl.

Here's some short thing i wrote a while ago.

God bless - Mist




Life is too short
I do not know what is tomorrow
I have forgotten what was yesterday
All I know is now
And even that slips through my fingertips
Like sand in an hourglass
Help me Lord
To use what little time I have left
To use it all for you

[Tainted]

Well, I might as well drop a bad one in.
I'm not at all satisfied with this piece, definately not one of my best-- but regardless I'll share it. Wrote it after a friend's dad died-- no, not of cancer, cancer just inspired me to write it.
I see cancer not so much as just the disease-- but more so what life is. Cancer is the day to day insanity that kills people everywhere, makes people commit suicide, oh hell, I'm sick of bull****ting this...
Written in song format, entitled: Blackened Night of Cancer

Blackened Night of Cancer
Enter the light
You’re never too young
Whispers in the night
Tales told of a black lung

I’d eat the cancer
Right from your body
There’s no answer
No need to disembody

Chemotherapy is black
Blackest as they come
Burn the Union Jack
But never do succumb

Enter the light
You’re never too young
Whispers in the night
Whispers from the devil’s tongue

Bleed unto me and
I shall bleed unto you
You’ll be a man of sand
By the time we’re through

So mister Sandman
Sing me a song of past
Throw yourself if you can
Right into an hourglass

Enter the light
You’re never young enough
Whispers in the night
Slowly shed your slough

Reveal those scaly wings
Baby, just fly away
Fly to lands and bring
Back a cancer bouquet

Eating the pedals on the roses
Tainted black with sin
The sandman beneath his glass composes
That this is where it all begins

Enter the light
You’re never too old
Whispers in the night
Praise to a soul unsold

Enter the light
You’re never too young
Whispers in the night
Just what have you done?

[Razola]

Classy.

Napoleon

There goes Napoleon
I wonder where his mind has gone.
Was it the dirty floors?
Perhaps it was the stench?
That made this janitor think
he’s ruler of the French?

He may impress the others, but not me,
the staff acting like he came back from Lodi
He’s not a genius, he’s not an army man.
I’m confident his popularity will start to decline
like the infantry at Moscow or Wagram.

There goes Napoleon
I’m sure he thinks he has won.
But that won’t last
no longer than a week or two.
Because sooner or later he’ll have to face
his own Waterloo.

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

I have some new poems, but I think it'd be easier if I just attached the one big document I put them in, and so....I did :P

[attachment deleted by admin]

[PancaKe]

Faced with choices
Differnt roads different paths
Faced with choices
And dripping hourglasses
Which one to choose
Which fork to bend
Time runs out
No guidence, no friends
Alone at this point
Tumbleweed rolls by
Which one shall I choose
Which one shall I go by
I can take the left
And leave him feeling hurt
Or the right
And have another, still hurt
Either way i go
Someone will feel pain
I will feel guilt
I will feel shame
I call on the Lord
But where does he lay
I call and I call
He seems farther away
I smile and i shine
and shove it all inside
I grin and bare it
With Jesus I'll be right

[dratinihaunter13]

ack, being in this new really cool english class all the grammar spelling errors i see here are driving me nuts! *breathes deep* here's a dumb one i just wrote..

"dooming cure"
It was a wait which tested every speck of patience in my memory.
she finally faded into the mix of all my other memories, no longer in the forefront.
she is not my you anymore, who for a wait most patient, lived off my every verse.
Finally letting her fade, only to see you take shape.
It's exhilarating, hopeful and hopeless.
I've seen this play, but not with these players, not with you at the lead.
Would this be a different version, or painfully, wonderfully similar. It's so lovely, seeing you play the role i thought could only ever be hers.
If my heart be correct, you won't fade yet. Not for a long wait most patient.
Rest against me. I will listen forever. I want to mold everything into a reflection of your happiness.
did i know it was going to be you?
only after an absent goodnight, when i could barely hold my eyes from drowning. you, my dooming cure.

[PancaKe]

^^;; leave my grammar mistakes alone! Just because everything I post was written in NOTEPAD!

Stupid dh.

~Mist

for he so loved the world
that he gave his only son
so that all the wrongs we have
can be undone
have you ever regretted anything youve said
i know i have
have you ever wanted to go back and change
the thing you did
the mistake you made
i know i have
i know i have

its all gone now
everything that is past is in the past
everything that will come is coming
and everything we know to be real
is a lie
because we're not innoncent after all
if we were
then why did jesus die?

for he so loved the world
that he gave his only son
that all the wrongs we have
can be undone
the world is clueless to whats wrong and write
i know i am
do you have any idea where to draw that line
what is bad and good
through gods eyes
i know i dont
i know i dont

its all gone now
everything that is past is in the past
everything that will come is coming
and everything we know to be real
is a lie
because we're not innoncent after all
if we were
then why did jesus die?

we all like sheep have gone astray
each has turned to his own way
the lord laid on him
the iniquity of us all
the stuff ups
everything we did and do wrong
was what he took the blame for
was what he took the blame for

its all gone now
everything that is past is in the past
everything that will come is coming
and everything we know to be real
is a lie
because we're not innoncent after all
if we were
why did jesus die?

for he so loved the world
he gave his only son
he died upon the cross
so our wrongs could be undone
all he ever did
was love us with all he has
and because his love is so great
ill give him all i can...

I stopped at the halfway point. Just don't whine about grammar unless it's the the slaughtered English people like Ryu tend to use.

[dratinihaunter13]

lol, plenty of poets disregard grammatical guidelines like those little semicolon corrections. ee cummings? yeah, famous. i meant mis-spellings and misuses of words in the poetry. editing a poem with the semicolon over comma type of stuff is pretty silly.

p.s. love ya mist =) and love your religious stuff

[Mister Myuu]

There are a lot of goos poems here. I, myself, am more of a songwriter then poet writer. But, if you think about it, we lyricists are simply poets who write our poems to music in our heads. Or that's how I like to think of it. Over the passed year, my style of writing has change so much due to what Ive lived through that Ive actually gone back and looked at older material and said to myself 'what the hell was I thinking?' But this is the bettering process of a growing writer. Here, submitted for your approval, is a couple of my more cherished set of lyrics. Lets see if any of you can guess what I was thinking as I wrote these.

State of Confusion
(Note: This was actually the very first song I ever wrote and, though there have been some slight changes over the years, it has remains practically the same.)

Welcome to the state of confusion
Welcome to the world of dread
Welcome to the brink of insanity
Welcome to forced incarceration
Welcome to heaven's hell
Welcome to the death of society

Where freedom is just a state of mind
and apathy reigns over human kind
-chours-
State of Confusion, damnation at an increased rate
State of Confusion, Insaninty's the only way
State of Confusion, everyone's touched in the head
State of Confusion, is it a truth or fabrication?

This is the state of confusion
This is a constant pain
This is a world of mockery
This is global retrogression
This is a deadly disease
This is a dangerous place to be

Everybody has a good time here
and reality's the only thing to fear
-repeat chours-

We live in a state of confusion
We live in this insanity
We live in increasing insecurity
We live cloaked in abnegation
We live without a reason to
We live afraid of responsibility

We play games and we have fun,
all this under our dark sun
-repeat chours-
--------------
I instilled several ideas in those lyrics but the main focus for me was the fact that humanity lets itself live in a world utterly warped and, as I put it, confused by those we allow to be our leaders.
-------------

On You
(I wrote this after someone I know stood by and let someone else I know's life fall apart even though the first someone could have stepped in and helped the second someone out. Apathy is such an uncaring and cruel thing.)

Dont aggrivate me, I already hate you
What are you doing here, I thought we were through?
I can never stop 'cuz Im going too fast
I cant help that Im better than you
-chours-
And cancer cells are eating at your brain
And everyone is thinking that you're lame
And rumors say that you're a crying shame
And I dont care 'cuz everything is on you

I cant help you 'cuz I dont want to
Dont look to me to find a way through
My mind is racing, its all going so fast
Forget about you and Ill do it too
-repeat chours-
----------
This was actually a second attempt at writing my feelings on this. I tried to write it from my perspective but that didnt come out right so I took some artistic freedom and wrote it from the first someone's POV. Still, I think my perspective may have slithered its way in nonetheless.
----------

Popity Corn
(Now for a walk on the lighter side. This is proof that Im not always serious. However, there is still a serious undertone as there is in all my 'fun songs'. This also proves you should never eat popcorn and watch Willy Wonka while listening to Nirvana.

I walk into the store
and go to isle four
Sign reads 'beer, nuts, and popity corn'

I walk down the isle
staring at the tiles
look up and see popity corn

I take a box or two
then go to checkput two
and give the cashier $3.62
-chours-
POP ... POPITY ... POPITY CORN
POP ... POPITY ... POPITY CORN
POP ... POPITY ... POPITY CORN

I walk out to my car
get in and drive real far
to get home with my popity corn

I walk up to the door
and unlock the door
and walk in with popity corn

I take a look around
imagining the sound
of poping popity corn
-repeat chours-

I sit down the bag
and open it without lag
and take out my popity corn

I open the box
and kick off my socks
as I take out a bag of popity corn

I tear off the wrap
I dont need a map
and run to the microwave
-repeat chours-

I place the bag in
this must be a sin
to love yummy popity corn

The bell rings, I cannot wait
I take the bag, this is so great
Into the TV room with my popity corn

I sit down nice and slow
and enjoy the show
eating buttered popity corn
-repeat chours-
----------
I think Ill stop here for now as Im sure all of you are scratching your heads saying 'what in the....' right about now. Ill post some later though. Enjoy these three gems... or two gems and a kernal.

[DannyBoy]

That was good. Just from reading it and not looking at the bottom you could tell is was Misty talking about Ash.


There used to be times he'd insult me
In response to something I'd said
And sometimes I'd respond by boldly
Malleting him square on the head.

That was my favorite part! But one thing, when you want to post a poem, you should go to the Poetry Corner and post it. I think it may be on the second page...not sure, but if you want to find it quicker, there should be a link in the rules or the other thing about help. But this was good and had some good humor.

[mistysakura]

It's nice how it's not all soppy and not particularly poetic (that wasn't meant to be offending), because Misty just isn't a poetic person, and this poem sounds like something she might actually write.

Moving to Poetry Corner...

[Pewter City Geodude]

:o Didn't know about the poetry corner. And thanks! :D

[dratinihaunter13]

I agree with the right use of language coming from misty's POV, nice work.
this just a haiku-ish spit-up.

"the night"
I can't wait for the next time
Then I freeze in it
Lost for words until I lose

the night.

[DannyBoy]

Here is one I wrote today thinking about someone I really like,


Scared of this feeling you give,
I close my eyes, I take a breathe,
I think of what I want us to have,
I hide this deep down inside my soul,
I know if you gave me a try it could work,
I know I am not what you may picture,
But I know I can make up for that,
Please give me one try,
I know my first impression sucked but,
That is not me what so ever,
When I first laid eyes on you,
My heart stopped beating,
An image of you and I came clear,
But if telling you is my fear,
The fear of you laughing,
Hating,
Not wanting to talk to me,
Even yet,
See me,
It is hurting me not to tell you,
Maybe if I could just get to know you things would be better,
I am not perfect but maybe you would look past that,
Just from the times I heard you,
It looks like we have the same interests and views,
Was that my cue?
I should have opened my mouth,
But I am scared,
I would love you forever if you wanted,
I would change,
I may even lose some friends,
Maybe I am just crazy…in love?
I don’t know what you think and I am dying to know,
Maybe deep inside I would just want to lay with you all night,
I am dying to know,
I see you have someone,
I fell bad knowing you have one,
Maybe at first it doesn’t have to be love,
Maybe a let me get mine you get yours.

Pewter City Geodude wins the Scariest Poem Award.

What a shocking ending. Terrifying!

[Pewter City Geodude]

I take it you're not a Pokeshipper. :P

[PancaKe]

I cant remember when or why I wrote this poem, I'll just say that it probably had something to do with Adam -.-;;

Echoes
Hi...
I miss you...
We hardly ever talk any more
We used to be great pals
Buddys even
I could see you whenever I wanted
And if I called out your name
You would be there,
Ready to catch me in your arms...
...
its so empty now...
I still long for you...
I still love you...
Even if you dont know it...
I'm still here,
waiting for you,
I have been...
for a very long time..
...
Your worth waitihg for...
I called you,
and a continuous beep answered
I messaged you
and nothing but emptiness answered
...
my mind plays tricks on me sometimes
it tells me your not coming back
it tells me you never wanted to in the first place...
sometimes...
sometimes i believe it...
....
my phone beeps with a message
and my heart beats faster...
when it is you
my heart leaps to my throat and beats there
but when its not
it likes to reside around my liver...
deep in my stomach...
...
i could call to you
and you would be there with open arms
ready to catch me
now i call you
and only the echo answers back

[DannyBoy]

Another song I wrote a few days ago. About the same person as the poem one.



I know how love works,
It’s the pain that you give,
When you wanna love someone,
Who doesn’t know you do?
You don’t how they feel about you,
I need to know so I can move on,
This is taking so damn long,
How I need and want,
To see your sweet face,
So I can say,
I love you,
I want you,
I need you,
Baby.


You changed my world,
You turned it upside down,
My life became much brighter,
With the looks of your face,
You sweet tender voice,
The tingly feel you give,
Please give me,
A chance.

The smell of your breathe,
The feel of your skin,
I want to win,
But the feel of ache,
The feel of guilty,
Oh baby how I want you,
I love you baby,
I know it took two try’s to find,
Yes I do,
Believe in,
Love at first sight,
You were my shining star,
You still can be,
Just give me a sign,
And I will make it so I am yours,
To night.

You changed my world,
You turned it upside down,
My life became much brighter,
With the looks of your face,
You sweet tender voice,
The tingly feel you give,
Please give me,
A chance.


I know we don’t know each other that well,
Just give it time,
To see if you want to be mine,
Damn it you are so fine,
But that’s not all I want,
I want to hold you tight,
I want to be with you through the night!


You changed my world,
You turned it upside down,
Oh how you make me feel,
How I love to see our face,
The sound of your tender voice,
The feel that you give,
Please,
Give,
Me a,
Chance…

She's not sobbing.
She's not whimpering.
She's not weeping.
But the light, the warmth of her aura has faded.
I feel the silent darkness taking over her.
I know she's crying unshed tears.

She's looking into a mirror
Trying to find... she doesn't know herself.
But the glass is smashed.
All she gets are splinters,
Distorted shards of the true picture.
She's lost and confused
Trying to fit the pieces together.
The sharp edges cause her delicate hands pain.
The blood runs together with her tears.

I claw desperately at the image.
I reach out to bandage her wounds,
Taking care not to disturb her,
Not to let her see my distress.
But her world of depression evades my grip.

My mirror shatters.



This is 99% fiction, 1% truth. I wrote this just then, right into this little reply box; it's based on my feelings about two of my friends (and yes, I am being overdramatic.) Claire, if you're reading this, I don't want them to see it, okay?

[PancaKe]

Ada, thats' really heavy. I swear, Its really really cool though!!! I really like it. Sometimes i cant come up with stuff that dark, im justtoo happy sometimes :D then otheritmes i come out with stuff so dark, it scares me...

~Mist

I wanna run from this world
Runaway
I want to push my way away
from here
I wanna break away through
the crowd
I just wanna get away don't wanna look back
I wanna get out of here
I wanna get away
Get away

Stealth I thought would help me get through this
Pain its incredible its so bliss
What does it mean when you fight with another
we're all related sister to brother
You just gotta shut the heck up nobody cares
About your insults or rants about how life isn't fair
Because we all know its true but we're not hearing you
We block out the sound of your criticism and hurtful words
Cause they just hurt me more and more and more

When you cant have your own way you lash out with pain
You scream and screech and cry again
Why cant you just leave me...
leave me...

I wanna run from this world
Runaway
I want to push my way away
from here
I wanna break away through
the crowd
I just wanna get away don't wanna look back
I wanna get out of here
I wanna get away
Get away

You cant deny it your slack to the bone
Not fair at all cold all through
Nobody wants to get to know you
Take out your hurt on somebody else
Make them suffer like you
That’s the way to do it no
Get a grip get a life get some friends and you'll be all right
because now you just suck
and just like you hurt me I’ll hurt you
I don't care if you wanna cry at my feet
You caused me to cry at yours
You enjoyed the pain I endured
Smirking at every tear
Making your smugness clear

But when you can't have your own way just lash out in pain
Go around hurting everybody again
Make us want to get away

I wanna run from this world
Runaway
I want to push my way away
from here
I wanna break away through
the crowd
I just wanna get away don't wanna look back
I wanna get out of here
I wanna get away
Get away

When you cant have your own way you lash out with pain
You scream and screech and cry again
Why cant you just leave me...
leave me...
But when you can't have your own way just lash out in pain
Go around hurting everybody again
Make us want to get away

[mistysakura]

Not bad! Nice atmosphere. Got a bit confused, but who said you had to understand poetry anyway? The rhyming scheme didn't get in the way or make the poem sound corny, which is always good. :P
Moving to Poetry Corner...

[Leon-IH]

man, i was pretty tired when i posted that, i missed the whole thread lmao!

[Leon-IH]

Heres my new poem, i wrote it today and it's seriously dodgy, no real pattern to it but it's more about feelings that we all share at some point.


What I once saw

I saw her eyes blue
Like mist in the morning
Dreamt of her too
Hiding in the dawning

The light ran cold
But i saw her clear
The world seemed old
Yet she was here

Voice that chimed
As i sat dreaming
Lost alone deep in my mind
Wishing silently for meaning

But still the cold world
Closed in on me
Watched as mist curled
As people in the sky see

I wished for the sun to rise
To ease the pain
Deep inside my eyes
I felt the falling rain

[PancaKe]

Dude, there's a poetry corner somewhere around here. Poems belong in there.

But on the other hand, its a nice poem. Uses a very familiar structure, and i luv the ending. It sounds so simple! Its cute!!

God bless

~Mist

[mistysakura]

A tad emotionless for my liking, but very rhythmic and straightforward. None of that repetive, flowery stuff that people sometimes fall into the trap of using. *moves to Poetry Corner*

[Oakbark]

Hey sorry, i had posted when i saw the poetry corner thread. I'm very sorry! Thanks for moving it here.
Yeah, it's emotionless, but it's just light-hearted and airy and a little childish. You know, fun to read.

Damien.

[shazza]

I have to do a class called Literature, it isn't compulsary but I got put in there due to a clash.

Anyway, one of the main aspects of Literature, is poetry and we all had to write a poem (I wrote a poem about the Simpsons) and resight a poem to a class. I read out this poem, called I hate poems. (I am not a fan of poetry.) :lemon:

I hate poems

I hate poems,
I hate people who write poems,
Thinking they have something to offer the world,
Something that hasn't been thought of,
Well it has
You're nothing special
Only fake
You're always fake
Do you think I believe in your petty lyrics?
Do you think I cry when I read what you write?
I don't.

How shallow you seem to be, when you show your depth,
Searching for words that reflect you intellect,
You're so hollow, so bland, so much like everyone else.

Your poems about nature show your true intelligence,
Your poems about everything and anything,
All just words,
All just words.

I hate the pride you have,
I hate your humbleness,
I hate you.
Who do you think you are?
Are you so talented? Are your thoughts so great, that
You feel you need to share them.

You're everything you pretend not to be,
You might as well be dead,
But at least you'll have your petty little poems.
Keats is dead, Wordsworth is dead, Thomas is dead
Their poems didn't save them,
Your poems won't save you

I even hate poems about hating poems.
I hate this poem.
I have become you.

[Razola]

Poetry
Between my three literature classes (Intro to Poetry, Creative Writing, Renaissance Lit.) I feel your pain. But Dylan Thomas and Lewis rock my world.

I hate whiny poetry. Sexton and Plath can go cut themselves. Oh wait...nevermind.

[Chris 2.1]

Take my hand, Break my heart

This is more of a song than a poem. Lets call it a pong^^


Take my hand
and lead me from the things I fear the most,
Break my heart
and leave me hanging on a thread forevermore

Time stands still,
I see you smiling with another guy,
He laughs 'till
You make a move and leave him bewildered with your breath

Why can't you ever see
That you're damaging me,
Can't you ever feel
That this is all - too - real - to - me



Umm thanks, peace out ^^

[DannyBoy]

Leaving all behind,
Found somewhere new to dwell,
I am more respected,
More free,
Not ignored anymore,
But I will always miss here,
But I know for me its right,
I am no longer going to fight,
I will miss the few, who still talk with me,
I will always talk with them as they do with me,
Did I say or do something to make them angry?
All I did was what I did best,
It’s over now,
I am gone for the best…

This is a poem i wrote about CERTAIN types of people, you know them, they live in your streets, you might even be one, they don't dare to think for themselves, they dont try to change things....



Evolution ~

Mystery man walks
Solid ground below
Where nobody talks
Seems so shallow

No change for him
As he follows
His gods every whim
Sitting in the shallows

The deep river
Walks deep inside
Looks in the mirror
Can't see outside

Watching.. Waiting
The clouds go by
Happily wishing
A place in the sky

[PancaKe]

I thought I'd killed her.
Killed her years ago.
And then i feel her clawing at me
Clawing at my insides
telling me she never left
I thought I'd killed her
the part that made me sad
When I used to get depressed over
the things that hurt me
the things that made me cry.
I thought I'd killed her.
But now she's back
And she's told me straight,
that she never dies.

He has one too
He tried to kill him
He tried to burry him
For the past eight years
He's smothered him with every pillow
Squashed everything he wanted to say
Down, deep down inside.
He tried to make him hide
Tried to make him run away
ANd never return
But now he's back
And we've all realised
That the other half
Will never die.

They may go quiet
Things may be fine
Then all of a sudden
They have this breath
A breath of new life.
Where does it come from?
When will it stop?
How can I make it not?
But it has happened
The dark side is awake
My dark side doesnt like things
The way they are
My dark side doesnt like the way things will be
My dark side reveales
The worst of me

And all these years
I've tried and tried
Although it has slept
The dark side never died.

[mistysakura]

Tara, I know that feeling. Stupid dark side. Grr. Great expression of the idea. The second paragraph's third person didn't seem to have any function; maybe I'm slow. Maybe it's to show that everyone has a dark side. Good stuff.

[Sir Chris]

One fair day Kalah sat on her fantasy throne
She overlooked all of her subjects then she let out a moan
Where were all the good looking men who she so wanted to play by
She looked and looked but saw none, and gave up with a sigh.


This continued on for weeks on end, the princess dispaired more and more, until a brave knight came
He met the fair princess and talked with her, they soon found out their interests were the same!
Soon weddings bells were in their future, her family gathered all around
Joyous was the occasion presents and gifts for the couple were abound

if you know the name from the boards, I am quite taken with her :P

[Whisper in the Wind]

So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world

Steal dreams and give to you
Shoplift a thought or two
All children touch the sun
Burn fingers one by one, by one

Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are
Toy soldiers off to war

Big eyes to open soon
Believing all under sun and moon
But does heaven know you're here?
And did they give you smiles or tears?
No, no tears

Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are
Toy soldiers off to war

You swing your rattle down
Call to arms, the trumpets sound
Toy horses start the charge
Robot chessmen standing guard

Hand puppets storm the beach
Fire trucks trapped out of reach
Hand puppets storm the beach
Fire trucks trapped out of reach
All clowns reinforce the rear
Slingshots fire into the air
All clowns reinforce the rear
Slingshots fire into the air
Stuffed bears hold the hill till death
Crossfire from the marionettes
Stuffed bears hold the hill till death
Crossfire from the marionettes
We shall never surrender

All you children touch the sun
Burn your fingers one by one
Will this earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?

So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are
Toy soldiers off to war
Off to war
Off to war

So close your little eyes

A shiny penny to the person who knows who wrote this

*I wrote a couple of song like things (Broken Promises and My Heart) but I don't knwo where they are. If I can find them/remember them I'll post them*

[Leon-IH]

this is something really wierd i wrote up.

"The people who don't care anymore"
Silly people think we care
Watching them from outside
We don't want to be in there
We follow the moons tide

Rain falls on our heads
But that just part of life
Our hands cold like the deads
Never will we have a wife

But we still don't mind
These facts of our choice
Because we are our kind
We'll never drive a Royce

But still we watch you
From here you seem alright
But we were once there too
And we see all your spite

Why can you not respect
Your fellow human beings
You are brief, circumspect
And so are our dreamings

So as we go back to sleep
Our night begins to wane
Watch your knife to meat
And laugh at your pain......



"Wash my spirit away" (warning, Vulgar Language)
I wasn't born like anyone
Somehow i became me
Food seems overdone
World's don't matter see?

I can't eat these lies again
I'm not going back there
Just put yourself in the drain
We told you to beware

Finally i've got the ball
And i can't stop laughing
Your back is against the wall
And the army is drafting

But this isn't yours to take
I'm not going to go for you
Your all so boring, so fake
Carry my lantern through

So you say "unpatriotic"
Do i really give a ****
You love to cry agnostic
I'll shoot you like a duck

I'd rather go to jail
Than fight for you, dog
I'll sit here, in the hail
While you run in the bog..

[PancaKe]

Tara, I know that feeling. Stupid dark side. Grr. Great expression of the idea. The second paragraph's third person didn't seem to have any function; maybe I'm slow. Maybe it's to show that everyone has a dark side. Good stuff.

The second paragraph was more about my friend, who I was talking to at the time. He was kind of , freaky, and his darkside was showing, and I guess it just inspired me to write about him. *shrugs*

~Mist

[Leon-IH]

well, here's my newest and doubtlessly worst poem yet..

I can't stop thinking
Thinking of her eyes
But im alone sinking
Into a tide of the lies

I don't try anymore
Thought i cant think
Time to make a war
So we can go drink

Just sit in sorrows
Too scared to say it
Quiet cry sparrows
Be quiet, ill quit

Nothing follows me
Yet i carry darkness
Nothing left to see
But your fakeness

~ meh, i don't ****in know what this is about, i think it's my subconscious on the loose.. wheres that shotgun gotten to?

[PancaKe]

I've been writing a lot of short six lines or less poetry... I cant remember them all, they're all upstairs. But I'll just write this one that I wrote in like February / March.

**PancaKe||


You close your eyes to my words
You say that I'm no better
You say that you're no different.
You say that I'm to blame
When will you open your mind to see that
You're becoming just the same?

[Dragonfree]

This is a Pokémon poem I just wrote when I was hit by sudden inspiration. Probably my best poetry yet... it doesn't have a name, though.






Pokémon, Pokémon, live up to your name.
Imagine being in the Hall of Fame
with a Pokémon master’s skill and pride;
your trusted partners by your side…
For many years I chased that dream,
but I’m only happy while we are a team.

Pokémon, Pokémon, united we stand,
bound with friendship, paw to hand.
I used to hate you, but now you’re my friend;
there are no scars that time doesn’t mend.
We’re different species, but I don’t care;
there are many other things we share.

Pokémon, Pokémon, listen to your heart;
I should have done so right at the start.
What use is a title and worthless fame
if you don’t have a friend who would like you all the same?
Our bonds have grown from a tiny seed,
now you’re all I’ll ever need.

Pokémon, Pokémon, set the differences aside;
from a real friend you have nothing to hide.
Come closer to my face and look me in the eyes,
’cause we’re bound with the universe’s strongest ties.
Life would just not be the same without you,
together forever, our friendship is true.

Have I a proper poem"

Who thinks I should win the "poetry" award of TPM? I certainly do.

"Had we have an award right now
We would not give it to your poem
We would keep it for our own"

Stuff that is not known

This is the stuff that is not known.
Who knows this stuff?
It is not known
therefore nobody can know this stuff
because this stuff is the unknown
It is not known.
Why do they give it to us then
And hand it out with a fee
Why do they try and make us understand when
It is not known
This is the stuff that is not known
And yet they spend many years reading it
Many years searching it and still
It is not known
Maybe the metal will hold the key
Maybe it will show us why
But this lump of metal cannot show us because
It is not known
What is this stuff that is not known
Why is it called the unknown
Do you know why? Because
It is not known.
But we do not call it the unknown
We have named it something else
Something different.
aNd they try to teach us this
Every day
And yet
Maths still,
Is not known.

The end.

**PancaKe||

[Leon-IH]

Heres to giving me any poetry awards... anybody want to second that motion?

Let me sleep again
I'm not going there
Deaf to your plea's
I dont really care

You want to find me
But you never will
I'm not such a fool
I wont foot the bill

Not today not ever
I will stand alone
Never Mindless
Not your drone

Somehow seems
I'm not a slave
Slave of country
Stand back knave....

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

I wrote this for a friend of mine who's graduating from High School very soon. This is probably my only poem that isn't either sad/depressing or evil.

Beside You
Upon the road of life,
There are many paths to tread,
That bring happiness and strife,
From which you haven't fled.

Whatever life throws at you,
Your friends will be there,
To help you make it through,
Your burdens they will share.

Do not fear the world,
That is vast and never ends,
Before you it's unfurled,
Beside you stand your friends.

[Sephiroth_Hi_No_Tens]

*grins* me first post.. well.. it had to be done.. poetry is my fave way of expressing myself...

I won't do any of my really dark stuff.. since I'm told that can be a bit disturbing.. but here's my stuff...

Sephiroth One Winged Angel.

Silence falls,
Everyone’s sleeping,
Plants are growing in the still of the night,
How quiet he walks,
I know not how,
Revealing to no one just who he is,
Orange lights gleam brightly,
They don’t reflect on him though,
Heartless but beautiful he smiles in the night,
The people sleeping smile unaware,
Hard to remember what never was there,
Even if they had been told,
One day he would appear,
Never would they have believed such a thing,
Every day seemed just the same,
Without fail he raises his cold bladed sword,
Inside every window he stares,
Not caring about any of them,
Going to kill them one by one,
Even if they know him not,
Deadly to all child and adult,
All will suffer his wrath,
None shall escape, he is without mercy,
Generous with death to a fault,
Each person there will know by the end,
Love and hate are intertwined by him.

Dark as Night
The moons shines silver within the night,
The stars above like rays of light,
I sit and smile and watch alone,
upon that which will never be my own,
Beneath the moon: within the other side of time,
I wonder if another lies,
Her eyes fixed on those rays of light,
Beneath that beauty we call the sky,
I wonder if her tears fall bright,
Upon her pillow when she sleeps,
For somewhere beneath that rounded face,
I sit and weep for the beauty of the night,
But within another time, my other life,
Did I enjoy the night so much?
Did every star make me long,
To go back there and sing my song?
I have to wonder sometimes when I see,
In my minds eye: Is that girl me?
Did I once sing to the rising sun?
Ignore the velvet of the nighttime sky?
How could I have be so very blind,
To the comforts that the dark can offer.
Still at least now I know the truth,
The dark it comforts me anew,
For within the dark shines the moon so bright,
forgiveness and sweetness are her other true names,
So I sit and smile and watch alone,
Upon that which will never be my own,
While the moon shines silver within the night,
And the stars above like rays... of light!

And one last one:P

Sweet Innocence
I gaze down into your eyes,
So blue, so sweet, so lacking of guise,
I can't believe your actually mine,
So perfect, so tender, such a sweet smile.

I know it was hard to get you this far,
But I can not regret the decision I made,
I gaze down to a sweet little smile,
your calmness, it calms me, I feel alive.

I cry out in shock as you turn your head,
Towards me wanting to be close to my warmth,
I hold you so closely till they take you away,
I'm told I must sleep it's been quite a day.

I drift off eventually thinking of you,
I wake up without you and I want to cry,
I'm alone again waiting for light,
And all I can do is sit there alone.

The walls are white, the door is white,
Even the people around are in white,
Eventually my mom comes and takes me to you,
Your just as I remember but better again.

I feed you a bottle although it takes you a while,
To figure out how to suck at that instead,
I know what you want but I am not allowed,
To let you have that it wouldn't be fair.

I pose for the camera do you remember the light?
As I hold you so smugly all puffy and white,
You covered your mouth with a tiny pale hand,
determined to not let the camera see your flaw.

I thought it was cute I wanted to catch it,
But all the photos I have your always hiding it,
A simple dimple within your lip,
I wonder if it's still there I can not remember.

The time soon comes though for me to walk away,
I leave the building, you still inside,
I want to cry I want to laugh,
My emotions are jumbled but I have to be brave.

My family around me saying I can change my mind,
But it's how it has to be if your to survive,
I visited you often can you recall,
That lady who held you in that strange persons home?

I have so many photos of your very first year,
But before it was over you lived somewhere new,
I received a letter from your new mommy and daddy,
Saying you were happy I hope that you are.

I do not regret giving you up,
For I know if I hadn't it could have been different,
At fourteen I was still far too young,
To be a mother to such a sweet child.

Resentment would have flown between you and me,
I've always been spoilt and wanted my own way,
I couldn't' have given you toys and a good home,
Money, a job, they would all be denied.

So I did what I had to, to keep your memory alive,
As your meant to be as you will always be mine,
I love you, I miss you but I don't regret,
Even if sometimes I wonder if you know.

I know they have to tell you before your eighteen,
But now your only five nearly six years of age,
I wonder if one day you'll look for me,
Your mother by birth who loved you so much.

I'll always be here for you with open arms,
Hoping you'll be curious about the one you first saw,
For now I will write to combat the pain,
But I want you to know your always in my heart.

Hope you enjoy:D

[dratinihaunter13]

Yay for lots of poetry lately! Here's one from a little bit ago.

"Pacing"

I'm racing on a six foot track
My mind demands I turn around
I listen, feet are turning back
But far too late, a pacing sound
I only wish I had the knack
To be romantic, settle down

I can't get past the corridor
I'm deepening my footprint trail
Could there have been anything more
Did I succeed or did I fail
So I re-pass this dresser drawer
And slowly do I chase my tail.
I've never paced liked this before.

[Kris]

This is one I wrote a few weeks ago, please tell me what you think....

Time

Here is comes
Try not to cry
I cant keep going
It's time to die

The clocks run out
It's time to go
It can't be stopped
It wont be slow

I wont be missed
You know its true
Just ignore me
You already do

Ill say goodbye
And cry as we part
I just always hope
That I stay in your heart

[Darkmaster Kagemusha]

Good dark yet hopeful (isn't that a major oxymoron?) poem, Kris.

Forgive me for my sin,
I shall forget yours,
They shan't stain our kin.

Should you not forgive,
I would not forget,
As criminals we'd live.

To battle we ride,
Allied by blood,
Side by side.

Among the din of battle,
We strike fear in them,
And make armor rattle.

Death is battle's kin,
Killing is only murder,
Massacre is sin.

[Aeges_Ateri]

I haven't really submitted, or shared my poetry, but I have to get rid of it now and then now don't I! Maybe I'm a good poet and I didn't even know it. ^_^ Some great poems here, keep up the good work.

Funeral of the Undead

Lament those dead that cannot die
Living ever under sky.
Sensing nothing, whole world dry
I wish, I wish, it were a lie.

Not to die, and not to live
Best of both worlds gone to them.
Ever absent of their eternal REM
Both living and dead do condemn.

Beside the hostility, underneath
Lies the sadness hidden deep.
Unable to shed the tears they keep
As undead cannot weep.

Their bodies an eternal cage
Concealing mourning within rage.
Feelings rapidly wane
In their minds only darkness reigns.
-------------------------------------
Look another sad poem! How is it that it is easier to write about the more malevolent or sorrowful emotions? I have a fascination with Undead, should that mean something? ^_^

[dratinihaunter13]

i notice a similar mood in all your poems mouse. maybe because they're all yours. :sweat4:

ummm let's see
-
"Keep Me Quiet, Shut Me Up"

The wind slows to a calming swirl,
The birds sing while their wings unfurl,
The sun a shining, golden curl,
Mirroring the moon, a pleasant pearl.
So why not go and tell the world?

What?

Swirling clouds bring violent gusts,
Unfurling nests with rip and tear,
Curling coils of fire in the meadow,
Pearls blacken from the flame.
So why go and tell the world?

1:55am on a thursday night
or friday morning? i do not know
on my bed i type by lamplight
sleep soon? yes i hope so

but many thoughts have i not yet thunk
but i know all will be right
for soon my eyes will go kerplunk
so i feel safe, at least for tonight

[Neo-Xantios]

Here is my poem at the beginning of my new story (which isn't out yet, but it will be soon). Well, I'm not going to elaborate....

The world is changed, the skies are shut, the tyrant is approaching
The sea awakes, a tumultuous wroth, below the stations stirring
Countries at peace will very soon feel the flaming of the universe
For at last war beckons from the heavens, a struggle most adverse
Temptation prevailing, a deceitful fiend is spreading his intention
The corrupted grasp what he unleashes, a gain of inspiration
Yet in his lair up beyond, he sees our parallel worlds
And separate them with his share of darkness, too great for mortal man
So our worlds are lost, and the fire and water will reign.

[FusionSonicX]

Nevermore





I'm lost in a void of eternity,
the eye of the storm, the depth of the sea,
A black hole rips me from inside out,
Gravity, ending me.

It all seems lost,
there is nothing found,
Here at my home, I'm all alone,
No one's there,
No one stares.

When morning comes, still there is no one there,
I'm awake, Without a care,
This terra ferra is blow of course,
I scream and cry, with no remorse.

[Leon-IH]

"Alistair" ~ A poem about my Grandpa who died 3 days ago.

All my life i'd know you were there
No matter what i do ill think of you
I grew up, you came worse for wear
Wherever i go whatever i may do

I remember reaching for you again
All i know is i saw your lights go out
And now my brain writhes in it's pain
It's something they say to cry about

You were always joining my range
In time we shared happiness together
Never cared if i was always strange
Your last years were a big endeavour

Now your gone and i'm sitting alone
I saw your pain end and i shook then
I'll never be able to call on the phone
You flew away from us like a Wren

[PancaKe]

I'm sorry to hear that your grandpa died. Its a good way though, of expressing feelings through poetry, and if that helps you cope then keep the poems coming. I'll pray for you. :)

I got emailed this poem, and I thought that it was awesome, so I'm going to post it for you guys to see.

**PancaKe||

I had on new clothes,
New sneaks on my feet.
I was there for class on time,
Went to the back and took my seat.
Yeah, I'm moving up,
I'm already grown.
Soon I'll be graduating,
And out on my own.
I talked to some of my friends,
We were all having fun.
Said some things I shouldn't have said,
Did stuff I shouldn't have done.
I knew I was different.
I felt God touch my heart,
I knew I should set a standard,
But then I'd be set apart.
Walking to the bus,
I was not looking for strength.
I heard the car tires screeching,
But now it's too late.
I'm standing in this room,
And I can see the heavenly gate.
Oh no! I never prayed.
I thought I had time to get it
straight.
An angel walked to me,
He had a book in his hand.
I knew it was the Book of Life,
When would this dream end?
I told him my name,
And he began to look.
Then he looked at me sadly and said,
Your name is not in this book.
Angel, this is a dream,
No, I can't be dead!
He closed the book and turned away,
He whispered - You cannot pr oceed ahead.
No...no this can't be real,
Angel, you can't turn me away.
Let me talk to God,
Maybe he'll let me stay.
He led me to the gate,
Jesus came to me.
He did not let me in but said,
Beloved what is your need?
Jesus, I cried, please,
Don't cast me away from you.
Tears ran down his face as he said,
You knew what you needed to do.
Lord, please I'm young,
I never thought I would die.
I thought I'd have plenty of time,
Death caught me by surprise.
Lord, I went to church,
Please Jesus, I believe.
He said you would not accept me,
My love you would not receive.
Lord, there were too many hypocrites,
They weren't being true.
He took a step back and asked,
What does that have to do with you?
Lord, my family claimed to be saved,
They weren't real. You know.
He said, I died for you,
Now I have to go.
I fell to my knees crying to Him,
Lord, I planned to be real tomorrow.
I couldn't make Him understand,
I had never felt such sorrow.
Then it hit me hard, I said,
Lord, where will I go?
He looked into my eyes
and said, My child you already know.
Please Jesus, I begged,
The place is so hot.
It seemed to trouble and grieve him,
He whispered, DEPART FROM ME, I KNOW YOU NOT.
Lord, you're supposed to be love,
How can you send me to damnation?
He replied, With your mouth you said you loved me,
But each day you rejected my
salvation.
With that in an instant,
Day turned into night.
I never knew such torture could be,
Now too late, I know the Bible is
right.
If I can tell you anything,
Hell has no age.
It is a place of torture,
Separated from God and full of rage.
You know, I thought it was funny - a joke,
But this one thing is true.
If you never accept Jesus Christ,
hell is awaiting you

[Leon-IH]

Who am i here?
I am the silent hill
The falling dragon
A triumph of a will

Falling from a sky
I sat and pondered
Why is it that we
Are often sombred

Use? point? leave
I will live in sleep
Do not follow me
For you must leap.

[Lulu]

That's really cool,I like it,

Here's mine;

IF I RULED THE WORLD.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I ruled the world,
Nothing would be wrong,
There would be no pain,
No killers,theives or rapists,
No drug dealers,
And no fear,
If I ruled the world,
No-one would be sad,
Nobody would be allowed to cry,
Nobody would want to die,
If I ruled the world,
The stars would always sparkle,
And the sky would shine,
There would be love,
Sorrounding everything,
If I ruled the world,
You would notice me,
Things would go right,
And everyone would be happy,
If I ruled the world,
The media would get lost,
And everyone would be equal,
With the same amount of money,
If I ruled the world,
There would be a place,
For only you,me and the stars,
All that would be,
If I ruled the world.

[PancaKe]

That'd be so cool. but if you ruled the world, would you give people their own choices or would you force people to do what you want? Just curious

untitled atm

This is me
This is who I am
This is what I believe
This is where I stand
I follow in Gods command

And then I turn my head
And watch you walk by
And when I see you
And meet whats on the inside
My senses say goodbye

I watch you grow in Gods word
I watch you live his way
I dont want to love you
but what if its too late
what if I cant change?

What am I to do
What am I to say
Should I ignore my feelings
And hope they go away
Or listen to what they say

So many mistakes
So many things down on the line
God oh my God
Please give me the time
Let me follow you and not my life

Ending is a bit wacked...

[Lulu]

Own choices of course,Free will is so important!

[PancaKe]

:) Thats cool. Just another question out of curiosity - if you gave peeps their own chocies, dont you think some of them would do the wrong thing and abuse their free choice? :P im being so dificult arent i

[Lulu]

Well.............um......Every year everyone would have a brain scan and If there were traces of them going to do something evil they would put them in jail.NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!

[PancaKe]

Awww why not??? I wanna ask questions.

Anyway this is a poetry corner - no more discussions.

There once was a fuzzy wuzzy bear
But fuzzy wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy wuzzy, was he?

[Leon-IH]

What are we all
Why do we fade
Back into a wall

Now your gone
I saw you once
Flew as a swan

Down on earth
Alone we begin
What it's worth

[DannyBoy]

Hey, im back with some more songs that im hoping to get recorded soon, so here are some.


-Tonight-


Can you?
Breathe with me,
Tonight
Can't help when you,
Talk about me,
With your friends
NO fight
I know that things may be bad,
I kno that I will try and be back,
I am everything I can be
I may not be strong
But I know how to handle things
Can you hear me tonight


I am screaming for you,
Tonight,
I am waiting for you to,
Tonight,
One breath away from falling,
Tonight,
I am wating, I am waiting, I am wainting,
Tonight,
For you.

Lost echos in time,
Freeze frame a picture,
How does it feel knowing,
One day I will leave,
And never return,
It could be,
Tonight,
We have to make mistakes,
Just to learn,
How we mesh with differences
I kno that I am not that smart
I kno that we cna work it out
But I know how to handle things
Can you hear me tonight

chorus



La da de la, La da dea la,

Tonight, to breathe, to be with you
Tonight, to see, to feel you tonight
How does it feel, knowing someday I will leave,
Will you remember me as the way I used to be,
or Will you sit and grieve,
Or will we both be set free?

Chorus 2x

Tonight, I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting for tonight...



-Slipping Far Away-



Down, on my own without you,
Can't control, myself anymore,
My reflection shows me a fool,
Losing my mind as I land on the floor,
Its hitting me deep in the core.
Sometimes im so tired,
Always being lied to,
Exit, slipping far away!

Slipping far away,
Got nothing else to say,
I swear I wont be ok,
Don't want to remember today,
Head spinning as I lay,
Yes im slipping, slipping far away.

On my own isolated,
Always with my friends feeling alone,
Can't help being number one hated,
Talk all night on the phone,
Got no where else to roam.
Sometimes im so tired,
Always being lied to,
Exit, slipping far away!

Slipping far away,
Got nothing else to say,
I swear I wont be ok,
Don't want to remember today,
Head spinning as I lay,
Yes im slipping, slipping far away.

At home contraveral,
Speaker of many sins,
Skipping review rehersal,
Many losses, Many wins,
Can't help the way I am.
Sometimes im so damn tired,
Always being lied to,
Exit, slipping and slipping and slipping far away!

Slipping far away,
Got nothing else to say,
I swear I wont be ok,
Don't want to remember today,
Head spinning as I lay,
Got nothing else to say,
I swear I wont be ok,
Don't want to remember today,
Head spinning as I lay,
Yes im slipping, slipping far away.

Got nothing left to say,
Don't want to,
Can't make me.
Please just go away...



-Little bit Strange-

I know I may act wierd,
I know I can be, a little bit different,
I may be feared,
But everything I say I meant.
Things can get a little bit crazy,
But you will always be my baby,
Sorry but I can't give you my love.

I know things can get a little bit strange,
I cant help these feelings towards you,
But I cannot get close to anyone,
Your gonna get in danger,
But I don't want to be a stranger,
Things can be a little bit strange,
I know, things can be a little bit strange.

From the, very first time I set eyes on you,
I had this tingly feeling,
Trust me, I really do love you and that is true,
now, I am alone dealing,
Can't see you without pain!
Sorry but I can't give you my love.

I know things can get a little bit strange,
I cant help these feelings towards you,
But I cannot get close to anyone,
Your gonna get in danger,
But I don't want to be a stranger,
Things can be a little bit strange,
I know, things can be a little bit strange

I try my best,
Give you my all,
But in the end,
You may fall,
I can give you that call,
Its hurts me to see you hurt,
But thats the way it has to be!

I know things can get a little bit strange,
I cant help these feelings towards you,
But I cannot get close to anyone,
Your gonna get in danger,
But I don't want to be a stranger,
Things can be a little bit strange,
I know, things can be a little bit strange


-Friday -

Saturday, im tired as ****,
Sundays here and Im tired still,
Monday comes and im feeling it bad,
Tuesday happens and makes life miserable
Wendsday makes me remember what I had,
Thursday Im ready and full.

Friday Night,
Feelings alright,
Can't stop me now,
No matter how,
Hard you try im into deep,
Taking that great leap,
Its a friday night!

Hanging with my friends,
Driving in one of their benz,
Grabing life real damn high,
Moving my body down low,
Feeling so fly,
Can you feel my flow.

Friday Night,
Feelings alright,
Can't stop me now,
No matter how,
Hard you try im into deep,
Taking that great leap,
Its a friday night!

Girl don't you hide.

Friday Night,
Feelings alright,
Can't stop me now,
No matter how,
Hard you try im into deep,
Taking that great leap,
Its a friday night!

-Boy-

There was a boy,
He felt so damn bad,
Never got things,
Always feeling sad,
Can't belong,
So he walked away.
Whats wrong boy?
Can't control yourself anymore.

He wants to run,
Hide form the pain inside,
But has no where to go,
So he runs and runs and he runs and runs and he run,
Poor boy.

Tired of being alone,
He picks up the phone,
But no ones on the other line.
Remains silent and hidden,
Till he finds a way to go,
He wishes this horror away.
Whats wrong boy?
Can't control yourself anymore.

He wants to run,
Hide form the pain inside,
But has no where to go,
So he runs and runs and he runs and runs and he run,
Poor boy.

Hes got to hide,
Hes got to be on his own,
Thinks of life,
Hes learned so much,
Not much on his own,
But alone in his mind.
THings will get better boy,

He wants to run back,
Knows hes not on his own,
Remembers life an't so bad,
Throws the phone,
Boy found his way.


-Could Happen-

YEAH, hey there, it could happen

Things are growing better each day,
Sitting in my room,
As I begin to dream of what to say,
Living life to the fullest,
Was starting to come true.

Yes there it could happen,
Live like its you last day,
Always have something to say,
Remember you gott be you,
Party it up now,
Yes there it could happen today!

Im in love,
and its the best thing for me,
Life is not lasting forever,
Lets be together now,
And not wait another second,
Full of life and beginnings.

Yes there it could happen,
Live like its you last day,
Always have something to say,
Remember you gott be you,
Party it up now,
Yes there it could happen today!

Life is short,
Love is forever,
Life is a gift,
But so are you,
Friends are memories,
but so is life,
It could happen anyday.

Yes there it could happen,
Live like its you last day,
Always have something to say,
Remember you gott be you,
Party it up now,
Yes there it could happen today!


-Im in love with you-

From the very first time we met,
I knew it was something,
But hard to recognize,
I been a stranger to this for some time,
Its hard to make up my mind,
But in the end im all for you.

Im in love with you,
You brought meaning to me,
The bond between us grows,
Heartbreak it more,
But in the end I have you there for me,
Im in love with you.

Can't control the things you make me do,
Love at first sight,
Can just be a blind fight,
Took a bit but I knew you were cool,
Taking it slow and moving on up,
Your sweet eyes and your flow.

Im in love with you,
You brought meaning to me,
The bond between us grows,
Heartbreak it more,
But in the end I have you there for me,
Im in love with you.

I'd do anything for her,
She'd do anything for me,
That what makes more than anybody else,
Can't help but to know,
Know that we could have it all,
And now we hae are sappy love song!

Im in love with you,
You brought meaning to me,
The bond between us grows,
Heartbreak it more,
But in the end I have you there for me,
Im in love with you.

-Can't Make Life Everything You Want It To Be-

IM so tired of the same **** day in and day out,
Can't help but to tell you all my feelings and what im all about,
You know, things about me I dont know and I sit and pout,
I can be serious even though I act like I dont give a ****,
Look now and see how Im running out of luck,
Damn, **** happens to make life suck,
Falling down and crawling back to the top,
Hope when im older I dont end with a mop,
Even though thats what most say!

Can't make life everything you want it to be,
To bad I am blinded by the light to see,
Only got the one who cares about me,
BUt feelings locked inside,
Life hurting outside,
Please wont you be by my side.

Motivated by your advice keeps me going,
Keeps my body and engery flowing,
Hope this relationship we have keeps on growing,
With that sweet talk of yours that you keep doing.
Falling down and crawling back to the top,
Hope when im older I dont end with a mop,
Even though thats what everyone says!

Can't make life everything you want it to be,
To bad I am blinded by the light to see,
Only got the one who cares about me,
BUt feelings locked inside,
Life hurting outside,
Please wont you be by my side.

Tired of waiting but I want to,
Want to be you one and only,
Can't trust my words,
Every single heard,
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!

Can't make life everything you want it to be,
To bad I am blinded by the light to see,
Only got the one who cares about me,
BUt feelings locked inside,
Life hurting outside,
Please wont you be by my side.

[mr_pikachu]

Here's a little poem I wrote. It's probably really bad compared to the rest here, but I like it. :lol:


A Trainer’s Quest


Darkness descends upon the land,
Showered in the fog of night.
The only light is in your hand;
You must go and win the fight.
Catch them, all of them, by the end;
You must triumph as a team.
Battle fiercely, and play to win;
It has always been your dream.

[PancaKe]

I dont know how you say
That he never existed
I dont know how you say
That its all a lie
Because what I know to be true
I could never deny

And you tell me all these things
That you back up all the way
You tell me all these things
Down my throat and in my face
I take them in but you'll never change
What I believe

Because Christ
has opened my eyes
and has shown me
That grace not works
Faith cant be earned
and he saved me
he took my death away
he suffered all my pain
because he loved me....
because he loved me....

I dont know what that is... dont ask...

[mistysakura]

No poem to post here, might write one sometime.

Anyway, m_p: Pretty good (I can't review poetry!), but line 7 broke the nice rhyming scheme, and since the whole thing has been more or less instructions/commands, line 8 looked a bit strange.

Tara: That was an interesting poem; "and has shown me That grace not works Faith cant be earned" didn't make sense to me though, although I got the gist of it. And about the subject material, don't know what happens where you are, but in my circle of people we don't try to change people's beliefs. We can debate religion, I do debate my views about Christianity and stuff, but it's not like we're trying to convince anyone that God exists/doesn't exist/whatever. By the way, how we can say that it's all a lie and stuff is because, well that's what we believe, and if you want your beliefs respected, you've got to respect our views too... yeah. End of rant.

[Bulbasaur4]

^^ Well... here are a few of my poems. I'd be extremely happy if you guys would tell me if you like them or what you liked or didn't like... well, you know. Critique-like ness. ^^;;

This first one is my favorite thus far. ^^;




We caper the intricate dance
Of wits, smiles and truth
We sing the complicated song
Of being flirts and aloof
Breathe
Take a lapse from the music


I smile the ever-lasting grin
With hope, pride and trust
I believe the spirited maiden
With memory and lust
Watch
Fleeting images take flight


You perceive the glittering reality
In body, soul and mind
You capture the exotic fantasy
In intuition and grind
Grasp
Truth will slip through fingers


We live the twisted life
Of soul, death and dancers
We love the vague lust
Of questions and answers
Realize
All webs will interlace together





This second poem is one that I wrote for a friend. She was having a hard time and she always thought that she was ugly or that she was undesirable and basically she was going through a depressing time.


More Beautiful

There are sundry people around you
They’ll always stop and stare
There are mumbles to follow you
As you clarify all of your flair
There are judgements upon you
And you pretend not to care

Here is just one solitary soul with you
Always looking your way
Here is a divine song to surround you
As you dance and sway
Here is sole tenet about you
It hopes you never stray

Fiery gazes
May singe your skin
Slitting declarations
May cut deep within

Ebony thoughts
May cloud your heart
Tempting ideas
May cause you to part

This solitary soul
Won’t let you start

There are baneful things upon you
That will endeavor to taint your mind
There are vile entities around you
To seclude what you find
There are scapegoats encircling you
Who try to deign you to their kind

Here is the unsullied alongside you
Who will bring you light
Here is ample compassion for you
Promising to hold you tight
Here is elutriated truth spoken to you
You needn’t be more beautiful for sight



This is a shorter poem I wrote... simplistic too. ^^




Trying to resurface,
I'm trying to break though,
But when my fingers reach the air,
Some one else pulls me down too.
When I need to be rescued,
No one is there to be found,
No one is there except nothing,
And nothing let's me drown.
I try to defend for myself,
But I'm lost with out a 'you',
So you can stay away from me,
But I'll try to be true,
You may not know how I feel,
But what I feel has a purpose,
May some day I'll tell you,
But I'm trying to resurface



Thanks for taking your time to read!

[DannyBoy]

And it was you




By: Dan M.




Ya know a crush can hurt in so many ways,
When you think about the person day after day,
When you try to speak a word yet you have nothing to say,
Staying silent and hurting is the only way,
Being with you would be the greatest thing for me,
But being alone is the only thing for me to be,
Everyone knows what I feel but you can't see,
I really like you a lot with all my heart.

And it was you,
That brought me to tomarrow,
And it was you,
That gave my life a moral,
And it was you,
That kept me sane,
And it was you,
Who kept me in the right lane,
I had a dream of fame,
And then you came,
And it was you,
That me want to,
Give up everything just to be with you,
Who kept me from turning blue,
And it was you...

You gave me a smile everytime we talked,
When we were outside taking a long walk,
Watching tv and movies,
You making me want to be,
Something more than I every though of,
Your like a white dove,
Sent from heaven to me,
I really like you alot with all my heart.

And it was you,
That brought me to tomarrow,
And it was you,
That gave my life a moral,
And it was you,
That kept me sane,
And it was you,
WHo kept me in the right lane,
I had a dream of fame,
And then you came,
And it was you,
That made me want to,
Give up everything just to be with you,
Who kept me from turning blue,
And it was you...

You are the one,
But am I your one?
This is no game,
Even though this may sound lame,
After the end things may never be the same,
I wanna be with you girl all night long,
We could do no wrong,
Sitting and talking about us,
Please baby no fuss,
I know its fast but may be love,
Things may get rough,
But we have to stay strong and tough,
To make it through,
And I like you a lot with all my heart!

And it was you,
That brought me to tomarrow,
And it was you,
That gave my life a moral,
And it was you,
That kept me sane,
And it was you,
WHo kept me in the right lane,
I had a dream of fame,
And then you came,
And it was you,
That made me want to,
Give up everything just to be with you,
Who kept me from turning blue,
And it was you...

[Tainted]

Haven't done poetry in a while. So, here's a few. Some really short, some medium length, etc.


For the Walking STD (And it doesn't stand for Super Trendy Diva)
When asked about life, I’d rather die
It’s twenty for deuce, it’ll make you fly
Forgetting the things that pass me by
Committing ideological suicide

Why can’t you breathe with my hands around your neck?
You try to gasp for air as my tightened grip prevents
As your body stops resisting, doped on E and crystal meth
I realize, to no surprise, I’ve lent another death

Untitled

Hello mister, dark-rimmed-glasses-toe
Sing me songs, tell me of your woe
Howdy mister, tell me this:
Why should I even give a ****?

And how do geeks redeem their low?
They buy black dye and let their hair grow.
They write ****ty poetry, all of it blows
And they call themselves a trendy emo.

Spider, Spider

Slowly as she weaves her web
She dangles down, a single thread
But as she turns, on legs of four
She finds her house of webs no more

Seeming Divinity

I’m your only alibi
I’m the reason Jesus died
I’m the car crash at the lights
I put the clouds in the sky

I’m your god, on your knees
Hands together, pray for me
I’ll strangle you until you can’t breathe
But in the end I’ll set you free

Left Alone with Wounds Full of Salt

Where are we? Are we lost?
Deaf children forgetting the cost
Little ones, without mind
Bodies wasted, without time

Another one, left alone
Feeble aching in the cold
Where were we? Where were they?
How far were we thrown astray

Like a deck of cards without the game
Like an orphan left without the pain
Blown to your fortune flows like the rain
Here just to **** on your parade

Singled out, once again
Left with nothing, without a friend
Now we’re here, now we’re there
Why are our wounds never fair?

Here we are, let us go
How could you sink down so low?
Let us be but let us through
Let us reach divine solitude

Like a deck of cards without the game
Like an orphan left without the pain
Blown to your fortune flows like the rain
Here again just to piss on your parade

Like a deck of cards without the game
Like an orphan left without the pain
Blown to your fortune flows like the rain
Here just to **** on your parade
Piss your parade
Spit your parade
**** your parade

Like a deck of cards without the game
Like an orphan left without the pain
Blown to your fortune flows like the rain
Has dug your grave if death must feign

Hyperactive Attention Deficit Disorder

Scream! You can do it!
Bite your tongue, right through it
Bleed it all some more
Still think you’re a whore

****! You can do it!
Pierce your brain, right through it
Drain out the unneeded
Victims become the impeded

Should I grab my shovel?
Dig right through the rubble?
Chip ‘way what’s just wrong
You were ****ed up all along

Hyper—Hyperactive
Hyper—Hyperactive Attention
Hyper—Hyperactive
Attention Deficit Disorder!

Strewn Apart, Pieces of Thrice

Here we are alone again
Me myself, this time not I
I was lost, he was a friend
Just me and myself left to die

You talk about yourself sometimes
All the while I fall inside
Why can’t I be just like them?
Who am I to recommend?

Me and myself, little ones
I’m so selfish, but there’s no fun
In being alone
When there can be more than me
And maybe myself

Here I am alone again
Me and myself past away
I am my only friend
I was spat from games to play

Pleading Crazy

Slit my wrists, condemn me a whore
Love to hate what you adore
And through my eyes, it’s you I see
Regretting things that were meant to be

Some day’s life stabs you in the back, that’s reality
Some days you want her at your side, that’s insanity
Some days you can only be passive
I’m pleading crazy to the masses

Hang myself out on the killing tree
Pick out a branch of insecurity
Some care to take the easy way out
Just what the hell is life all about?

Some day’s life stabs you in the back, that’s reality
Some days you want her at your side, that’s insanity
Some days you can only be passive
I’m pleading crazy to the masses

Can you not see? You have two eyes
Here I am you *****; I’m ready to die
You’ll never take me, despite all the bleeding
Can you not see that I’m knelt down and pleading?
All the while my insides are screaming
Telling me I’m a stupid **** forever believing

Some day’s life stabs you in the back, that’s reality
Some days you want her at your side, that’s insanity
Some days you can only be passive
I’m pleading crazy, pleading crazy to the masses

Some day’s life stabs you in the back, that’s reality
Some days you want her at your side, that’s insanity
Some days you can only raise a finger and be passive
I’m pleading crazy, pleading crazy, pleading crazy (pleading crazy)

Some day’s life stabs you in the back (pleading crazy)
Some day’s you want her at your side (pleading crazy)
Some days you can only be passive (pleading crazy)
Still pleading crazy (pleading crazy), pleading crazy (pleading crazy)
Pleading crazy to the masses

Umm-- yeah. As for a favorite? Probably Strewn Apart, Pieces of Thrice because to this day it even confuses me. I write most of these when I'm stoned, or burning out from beind stoned. So, even I'm surprised at what I can write intoxicated-- since my poetry when I'm not is total ****. Now, considering this is near ****worthy, itself, well-- we'll just say my normal poetry is even worse.
Pleading Crazy and Left All Alone with Wounds Full of Salt were songs for my band.

[PancaKe]

You have very dark work. Its so cool. I dont agree with half of the things ur sayin in ur poetry but I still reckon that u have an awesome way of wording things :)

[achooxp]

Mmm so this one was just an experimentation with word placement and punctuation, but here goes.

Papercut Memories

I do remember
And I now know
Many things you
Hoped I'd never know
Papercut memories
Hard to forget
And ever biting
But I'll do my best
to Love you,
Anyway.
Since you are.
And since I am.

[Leon-IH]

Even cats hate me ~ by me.. obviously.

Cats can't stand me
People want me dead
Do i bring them dread?

Cannot see, breath
No next world for me
If only you could see

Why am alone again
Humming dark rhyme
What is it this time?

Razors on my hands
Scars are my world
My fate is unfurled

Sit down and taunt
Ravens flock to you
What is there to do?

It's over for you, I
We cannot truly see
Must cats hate thee

[Tainted]

You have very dark work. Its so cool. I dont agree with half of the things ur sayin in ur poetry but I still reckon that u have an awesome way of wording things :)

Yeah. Half of my poetry is too controversial for TPM, so I left it to sit in the Word document.

I hate this poem. I don't like it at all. My friend Jessica commented on how my poetry was much better than hers, and because of this she refused to show me her work. So, I wanted to see her work-- and I asked her why I couldn't see it and she insisted "Because most of it is just 'Roses are red, violets are blue...' you know." So, I wrote this one in about two minutes while we continued talking on MSN and I showed her it and said "See-- we're the same. Now show me your stuff." She finally gave in.


For Jessica

Roses are red, violets are blue
Black runs the blood of veins cut anew
Saturated organs fall into a funnel
And white is the light at the end of the tunnel

The roses fall into nothingness, turning pale
The red’s attempt at tranquility fails
Red fades into pink as dim grows it’s life
At the end of the ages, there remains not but white

The blue becomes prominent, but it too falls down
From the tabletop, the vase shatters glass across ground
The violence causes silence, this blue is their last
Each violet petal severs into sections of glass

At the end of the day, nothing remains
The staged attempt lays voided, without gain
Roses, like shriveled white death, blood drawn away
And in sections of glass, tainted violets lay


Jessica did, however, give me a bit of an idea for a poem. When she was talking about it-- she said "Violets are red, roses are blue is a very powerful thing to start a poem off with." I disagreed, and then I noticed she had switched the violets with roses. So, I'm going to start a poem soon, don't know how it'll turn out, but it will feature the opening line, ala Jessica: "Violets are red, roses are blue"

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[DannyBoy]

Don't be afraid to post things. You have a right to post it even if iit maybe controversial. It maybe but poetry and song writing is about getting out your feelings and its good to get that out there.


Here is a new one I just completed a few days ago when I was bored. Just kinda came to me and is now one of my top five favorites that I've done.


-Hell Shadow-


Living a so called average life,
I was once a loner on my own,
Thinkin of dreams and big hypes,
Always having a bitchy tone,
Learned to not care what they thought,
Living life without a doubt,
I know its time cuz i been thinkin alot,
This is gonna be the hardest thing for me,
Time to be what my destiny wants me to be.

Coming out of my hell shadow,
Can't control my fate,
Gotta keep breathing with the flow,
I should be at my destination at this rate,
Im ready and not saying no,
Hurry now and I can't be late,
I gotta get up and go,
From my hell shadow!

Remembering the times I had alone,
Wondering where these gifts will end up,
Now the black crow has flown,
Leaving its destiny behind in the small cup,
Its gotta find that strange place called home,
But lately haven't had very much luck,
Don't want to be the last one free and end up blown,


Coming out of my hell shadow,
Can't control my fate,
Gotta keep breathing with the flow,
I should be at my destination at this rate,
Im ready and not saying no,
Hurry now and I can't be late,
I gotta get up and go,
From my hell shadow!

Now sitting and reflecting,
Writing down everything I dream,
Times passing and melting,
Now its time to feel to be,
More than I ever thought possible,
Soon gonna be so full,
Can't be dull,
This is my time to fly!


Coming out of my hell shadow,
Can't control my fate,
Gotta keep breathing with the flow,
I should be at my destination at this rate,
Im ready and not saying no,
Hurry now and I can't be late,
I gotta get up and go,
From my hell shadow!
I gotta free,
Of this burning,
Gotta keep learning,
This is it,
This it yeah!
Coming out of my hell shadow,
Can't control my fate,
Gotta keep breathing with the flow,
I should be at my destination at this rate,
Im ready and not saying no,
Hurry now and I can't be late,
I gotta get up and go,
From my hell shadow!

[PancaKe]

I wrote this, when i was very angry as you can probably tell.. im fine now.. but i was so upset when iw rote this its kind of shocking..

__

Your opinions meant so much to me
They always meant so much to me
Why did it mean so much to me
Why did you mean so much to me

Your an insensative ba*tard
Your cold black hearted
How could I love you
How could I wonder

If you were all right
You were just fine
You disregarded me
I hate everything

Now its out in the open
What was once unspoken
three years down the drain
Never the same

Your lies are uncovered
The way that Ive suffered
You ba*tard its me
Its so hard to breathe

How could I wait for you
Who influenced me but you
In everything that I do
You ridiculed me
I'm never good enough for you

Wanting to be first always second place
You left me deflated you left me in disgrace
cant bear to see please don't show your face
Your so much better
and your always right
Now find some other ive had my day

[DannyBoy]

That is somthing I wouldn't see you writing Tara. All your other poems are much different but I like this one you did. I can sorta know how you feel with that one also.

Here is another one.



-The Risk-

Wanting something new,
Something that would always stay true,
Not something that would hurt me bad,
Something that would make me glad,
Was this all an illusion?
Messed up in the head with confusion,
All this mental abuse,
What was it that lite the fuse?

I'm not some tool,
You make look like a fool!

Can't be some little toy you bought,
Always wanting things a lot,
Getting into lots of fights,
Can't stop me I have a right,
Risk704-1934ing everything I own,
Talking all night on the phone,
If you can't handle this,
Then don't take the risk.

Partying it up every night,
Laying watching planes takes flight,
Prowling the dark streets,
Feeling the the rock of the bass beat,
Watching lives be ruined,
To bad i've already been through it,
All plans fell threw the gutter,
As everyone trys to talk but stutters!

You think that you rule,
But in the end your not very cool!

Can't be some little toy you bought,
Always wanting things a lot,
Getting into lots of fights,
Can't stop me I have a right,
Rising everything I own,
Talking all night on the phone,
If you can't handle this,
Then don't take the risk.

You think you know me but you don't,
Sorry that I dont front because I won't,
Sorry if you can't take my open mind,
You be an ass I promise im not going to be kind,
If you wanna party with me and have fun,
When things get heated don't run,
Welcome to everything im about.

Can't be some little toy you bought,
Always wanting things a lot,
Getting into lots of fights,
Can't stop me I have a right,
Rising everything I own,
Talking all night on the phone,
If you can't handle this,
Then don't take the risk.

[Tainted]

A Piercing I Wouldn’t Wear Around Anyone, Even Those Cool Kids Way Cooler Than Me At The Skatepark, Yeah, I Mean Those Guys That Only Come On Tuesdays
You just shot me in the ****ing heart
Shot me, you shot me again
Pierced my ventricles, poisoned dart
With a memo attached ‘Let’s be friends’

Not too loud, but break the silence
Contain the screams, lift the pick
Emotionless, condemned by violence
Thrust that thing right through my dick

Now alone, once again on my own
No more thinking of things before
Memories, carried in wind blown
I try to forget, but I want all the more

Edging me slightly, but still I bleed
So I reach my hand inside the chest
Fingers wrapped round what kills me
Rip out the heart and fade into nothingness

Don't like it, myself.

Waste
Body flung, emotions stay
Among the trash the body lay
Emotions without body to feign
Struggle as they hide the pain

Short but sweet? You decide.

Mix-Matched Organs
Violets are red, roses are blue
Open your eyes, see them lie to you
The sky is green, the grass is blue
Open your eyes, don’t let them lie to you

You’ve got a heart in your head
And a brain in your chest
The brain pumps all the plasma
And the heart knows best

This is that one Jessica inspired me to do. I noticed it was going nowhere so I left it hanging.

Aliens
I don't know, where the **** it is
Do you think it was the aliens?
They sailed down from their ship above
Stole my marker, and stole my love

They took her far, far away
To a planet long blown astray
And they gave her wine, and they gave her cheese
Then the alien got on his hands and knees

"Hello, Jenny" was what he said
"I don't know you, but I won't forget”
"The way you looked at me with glee”
"So, I ask you human, will you marry me?"

Except it didn't really sound like that
It was in some crazy alien tongue with blats
So Jenny looked up into his eyes
She carried herself well, to her own surprise

"Alien" she said "I don't know you
"But you're better than the little 2 inch fuse”
"On my boyfriend back in Earth so small”
"He's got the dynamite-- but who likes balls?

"Aliiiien" she said
"I love you, but I just can't"
"I got friends on earth, I can't leave them there"
"I got things to do, I got to wash my hair"

So, the alien looked deep into her eyes
He set his ray gun to vaporize
He pointed it, said, “Prepare to die”
And blew that bitch into the ****ing sky

This was a joke one, obviously. I was having a conversation with this one girl who's a bit weird, like myself, on MSN, and she said "I lost my sock... do you think it was the aliens?" And, well, I started typing this one out into the chatbox thinger, and in a couple seconds this poem was born. We got a good laugh out of it.

Death is a Teenager, She's into the Goth Fad
Death she whispers so soothing
A lullaby, it soundly puts me to sleep
Her words they appear so moving
At her final breaths, fresh widows do weep

When she’s done with her song, she packs up
She leaves and takes the train at noon
Dead men are left behind, mentally ****ed
But don’t worry guys, she’ll be back real soon

She’s that desecrating whore,
She feeds on so much more
She eats all your insides
And then leaves you out to die

The waiter on the train asks her for an order
She says she’ll like a martini—she likes them dry
Eyes now looking down, she opens up her death-count folder
But still notices the path of the waiter’s eyes

She swishes it around once, not twice
It’s got a little olive, speared with a sword in it
The rims of the glass are frosted with thin ice
When the waiter comes back, she kindly throws a fit

“That Martini wasn’t dry!” she screams clear
”In fact, if I do recall correctly, it was rather wet, as hell”
“But ma’am, it was dry,” he replied full of fear
Her finger touching him gently, and to the floor he fell

She’s that desecrating whore,
She feeds on so much more
She eats all your insides
And then leaves you out to die

She wears black lipstick, but listens to no one
And Jesus told me she used to suck cocks for money
But if she wrapped her lips around your gun
You’d no longer be finding your waste of five bucks funny

She likes to kill, she feeds on the ill
She desecrates, and men she rapes
She hates child porn, but likes to mourn
But to my nights, she’ll be the black in the light

Another joke one.


And I came in with a boo, but now I must bid a fine...

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

EDIT: Added a whole bunch more.

[PancaKe]

Tainted damn ur stuff is so dark. Its quite cool though, u have a totally mad way with ur words that I want to be able to have.

This one is kind of unfinished, I'm not sure where to keep going with it...

Her Job

They all watch as she goes by
They tel her how she looks
She begins to cry
...
She can't take it no more
They dont know what they did wrong
Shes heard it all before
Shes wondering what shes done

To be a pretty girl
Every head she turns
Thats the pretty girls job
But what does she earn?

[Tainted]

Tainted damn ur stuff is so dark. Its quite cool though, u have a totally mad way with ur words that I want to be able to have.

Thanks, it's really nice to gain some praise for my writing, especially from a veteran such as yourself. Does anyone here gather inspiration from anything that's a little odd? Like, for example, I like spiders, they intrigue me-- don't know why. For some odd reason, whenever I see a spider dangling, or scampering on my wall, I feel like writing. Interesting things, really.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[PancaKe]

Thanks, it's really nice to gain some praise for my writing, especially from a veteran such as yourself.

Lol. Me a veteran? (I always thought the word was vetenarian lol) As if. But sigh, if you insist I'm getting older...

Um.. I get inspiration from like, emotions and things that are on my mind. If God is on my mind, he's my inspiration, if a situation is on my mind, thats what i write about, but I write with my feelings "intwined in my words" so to speek.

[Leon-IH]

I'm dreaming again
Stuck with my life
Watching people go
From under the snow

I'm not disturbed
Just dissapointed
Watch the world go
So sad and so slow

It's a burning globe
Trying to break out
Watching people go
From under the snow

Your all out chanting
Die Planet Die Planet
Watch the world go
So sad and so slow

It's so disturbing now
I can't see anymore
Watching people go
From under the snow

So this is the end now
What is death like now
It's all over, just give up now.

[Tainted]

Alright, just wrote a couple.

Little Hopping Bunny with a Big Hat and Dentures
If I were a little hopping bunny, I once thought
I’d sleep on a mattress instead of a cot
I’d like to listen to classical, I’d have my tea at noon
I’d stay up late at nights outside and quietly watch the moon

Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh, what a mother fùcking paradise
Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise

If I were a little hopping bunny, I once thought
I would live my life eating grass a lot
Occasionally I think I’d have a cabbage or two
But in the end I’d really have not to eat but few

Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise
Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise

So come with me, come with me
Come get away from it all
So come with me, fùcking come with me
Be a bunny and bound the walls

Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise
Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise

Save me, come along, hate your reality
Hate it, ****ing hate the life you’re in
And just when you’re broken down, weeping
There’ll be only one place you can dig

Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise
Oh, what a fùcking paradise it’d be
Oh what a mother fùcking paradise
---

If the filter evading is a trouble, **** it. I think people know what the word is when they see "****" anyway.
This poem means a shitload to me, because there's a certain madness to it-- and this madness is withheld behind a bunny, the smallest and most harmless of all creatures... Heh... I don't know why it means a lot to me, a lot of it doesn't even rhyme-- it just says something to me.

Butterflies
Butterflies, one fùcking wing
Spins in a circle, still watching
Life is a whore, a homeless wife
She works this hell of a thing we call life

You stand there, and you scream
Insecure—they’ll listen one day it seems
But no, never, your voice only dies
Inaudible, but still to yourself you lie

They’ll never hear you, nobody will
Even as your shrieks reach peaks and define shrill
Although you try to redeem, you still fade away
And where once a voiceless stood, now a body lay
---

I like this one too. Not much else to say.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[PancaKe]

Coem on dude, we all know what "****" means but dont filter evade. You know the rules. Don't make me warn you, I'm too tired. This aint a warning, its a notification that if you filter evade again I'll have to give you a warning just to folow the rules. And anyway, if we all know what **** means then theres 'no reason to filter evade cuz we'll all understand anyway.

And besides, I dont particularily want to read that world, even with an apostrophy over one of the letters.
___________________

Both of them

Your being selfish
Who am I to talk
Youve become jealous
Of yourself
Oh this is always what I've wanted
Two in one
Oh this is always what I've dreamed of
The two compiled into one

You represent
Both of them
and I dont want to view this person
ever again
You represent
Both of them
and two alone is bad enough
dont make it two in one

[Leon-IH]

Tainted, great poetry - but you evasion of the word filter just makes you look like an idiot.

Blinded
I don't want to know
Don't try to find why
Watching the snow
Someday we will die

Alone in a cold world
Will it be our time yet
Banners now unfurled
We must all pay debt

But why is the snow
Covering logic's hand
Hiding down too low
Fearing whats grand

Sitting in my square
Seen it before you
Your falling beware
The end for me too.

[Bulbasaur4]

Tainted- your work is morbid and perhaps better words could be subsituted for the 'bad' word, but they are very deep and morbid. Me likes.

Leon- Yours is nice as well, I like the title and the energy coming from it.


;_; no comments on mine... oh well...




If tears were my soul,
If feeling was my happiness,
If sight found my role,
If speech would find my tainted bliss,

My tears would be blood,
Myself numb to the outside,
Seeing nothing but black mud,
Saying nothing but have cried,


Untamed spirit I once was
Broken by unknown lies
Wandering life with no cause
Bleeding wings do not fly

Trapped in a prison
The bars made of nullity
Doomed victim of vision
To be lost in nothing

[Leon-IH]

B4 - Good but odd, was that actually meant to rhyme or not?

Sunlight
Burning my eyes away
Taking what i've seen
Don't let it come here
The fields are all green

Lost all alone out here
Walking through a day
Wishing I was at home
Having found my way

Can't I care anymore
Our time is never yet
Weathered memories
Why can't we forget

Too horrific to lose it
Things we saw today
Why must it be you
Who got to fly away

[Tainted]

Tainted- your work is morbid and perhaps better words could be subsituted for the 'bad' word, but they are very deep and morbid. Me likes.

Thanks, your poem is quite the work itself, I don't really know how to describe it. To me, it's very powerful, and gets it's point out easily... but then again, I've never been all that good at deciphering poems for a common audience. The way I see it-- everyone interprets a poem differantly, and very seldom is it exactly similar. I've got one on the way, myself, so stay tuned.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

[PancaKe]

Nice work B4 ^.^ Me likes your poem very much..

------------

Our wings were spread apart
Have been ripped apart
The wind that once made us fly
Left beneath our hearts

Im calling out from here
Will my voice reach you from here
The tears choke up my throat
Its getting dark I fear

The Lord brought me to this
He will bring me through all this
How long will I wait
To be carried to my bliss

The meadows that were once green are no longer
The sun that shines on them has burnt them yonder
The daffodills and daisys that sprung up in May
Are no longer standing
This purity was tainted as far as I remember

Ive been waiting for your answer
Haunting for your answer
I wish I wish I wish
That the questions I never asked you

These tears are deep inside
Tears well deep inside
The hours that I've regretted
And these tears I've never cried

Im too chicken to call or speak
I cant look at you and speak
Because you wont look at me
And how could I ever think

The meadows that were once green are no longer
The sun that shines on them has burnt them yonder
The daffodills and daisys that spring up in September
Are no longer standing
This purity was tainted as far as I remember

[Leon-IH]

Wow pancake, that poem is very emotive but without falling into a trap of non-stop emotional language - I guess thats why nobody has replied to this yet, a hard act to follow :)

Forest of Soul
Why must we be alone
Walking under the sun
Looking into the wood
Life and death are one

Why must we see one
As our souls reflection
Walking into the cone
To find our connection

Another sleeping soul
Sliding down a tunnel
See the chilling silence
Like water in a funnel

Now we cannot walk
We cannot hide away
Why must you and I
Not last another day

NOTE: I posted this on Serebii, but it's time to get this thread back onto the front page - also I've never posted a poem there before so feedback might not be so great.

[Tainted]

Toast
There’s a little black sunshine in everyone
But there’s a little more in me
And even when the song is no longer sung
There’s toast sitting up in a tree

Toast isn’t for you, toast is for me
Toast doesn’t like to be buttered much
Toast grows from the high apple tree
And toast would much rather be touched

Apart
The entire world collapses as you fall into the end
Implosion causes lapses, without much time to mend
They scream and they shout, they kick and they cry
But they don’t know about how my voice inside does die

You don’t know just what to do
When the spear it passes you through
Pierces skin, it pierces the heart
And leaves you left fallen apart

[Pig on the Wing]

The Spiders' Web

It glistens in the sunlight,
And sparkles with the dew,
Little fly little fly,
This trap is waiting for you.

Fly towards it, coming ever closer,
You become stuck as you hit it,
Little fly little fly,
I'll eat you bit by bit.

Here I come,
Ready or not,
I'm hungry for a meal,
And you're best eaten than left out to rot.

Now I scurry away,
Back to my hiding place,
My hiding place in the corner near the tree,
Will I eat you or let you go? We'll see, we'll see.

[PancaKe]

I liked it Snorlax. Was very cool. Especially the ending, was really cool. I dont know why i just like the idea of things hiding in poems. *shrugs*

--

Look here I stand
Torn between two
Paths lie ahead
What shall I do
Which would you pick
Which would you choose
The one who you love
Or the one who loves you

If you ask me this
If you want the truth
Give me time
To get back to you...

How can I go
When I dont know where
They want me now
Life is not fair
How did you pick
How did you know
The right path to walk
The right one to follow

If you ask me this
If you want the truth
Give me time
To get back to you...

C.A.R.E.
How many times does that love song play
On the radio, in one melancholy-soaked day
I like to dream about us, I like to dream at night
I like to dream about a life without the light

That slow depression seeps over like a fine champagne
Textured ever so carefully, it reminds me of where I lain
Last night when you whispered ever so softly into my ear
You didn’t need to tell me twice about how we drunk too much beer

Remember the night, last night, party—everyone got ****ed
And Merf was upstairs in the bathroom getting sucked
But you and I sat downstairs among those passed out
We held each other on the couch and knew without a doubt

That this was special, that this was it
But it was like a lighter that couldn’t be lit
As we fell asleep, and I dreamed of the dawn
I eventually awoke to find you were gone

So I searched the yards, I searched the park
I walked up to 7/11 in the dark
To find you’re not here, and I’m not there
Maybe you just never really cared

It's about a party I went to last night. Best ****ing party ever, I'm just left with your usual almost lethargic feeling today. It's horrible, really.

Adieu,
Zak Hunter

November

Day by day
You help me along my way
Hour after hour
time flys by
and still i wonder why
you stopped to help me
in my life

How can i repay the favor
You are going away
How can I tell you waht you mean to me
When I dont have the words to say

let me hold you tight once more
May you be helped by God above
Let me say before your through that door
There was nobody else that I have ever loved
With the amounts that I loved you
On the other side you'll make it through

[ryandude713]

This is a poem i wrote during a very complicated time of my life
it represents man's inner struggle to find himself in such a strange world.

Abstract Like a Stick Figure

Fun on a bun
When you're stuck in the sun
And you're shunned by a nun
Just know it's been done

You can't rhyme like that
Your lyrics are crap
You look like a rat
I'm a hungry cat

So that's the flow
Is there symbolism? NO!
That's all you need to know
And now you have to go

[PancaKe]

Lol. I quite like that poem. It makes me feel happy inside for some reason. I know that probably wasnt what you were trying to achieve, but its the effect it has had. *shrugs* i guess just your choice of words for expressing that were a bit abstract, and im a very abstract person.

either way i really liked that.

Chips on the Dance
Welcome to my hell
It's the end of town
Watch the fire start
The chips are down

Bloods on the floor
But no cuts to see
Hammers are falling
For you and for me

Burning men hiding
Nothing is still alive
But for no reasons
Live your last jive

For what we make
We must all prance
Just die here today
For one last dance


The Future As It Is
Communication down
Sitting under the sun
Looking into the blaze
That makes all as one

Walking into the dark
Smiling into the night
Two times cut short
Falling from my flight

Falling into a cavern
Full of burning cold
Watching the world
Living to be too old

Cut away your joys
Throw your dreams
Give away happiness
Becoming machines


Rivers of Choice
You must fall down
Or I shall push you
Drop to the ground
On a count of two

The end of a spree
The end of this joy
Come back with us
Enjoy this here toy

Fall from a tall tree
The branch quivers
As I can't ever see
Life as deep rivers

Falling into gullies
Living in deep gaps
Weeds falling away
Into deeper traps


Career Solace
I am your solace
Nightmares again
Followed to here
As a falling raven

Death is evaded
While we shared
A simplicity here
To feel declared

Simple insanity
Cannot cause it
Cutting threads
Bit by frayed bit

Cutting life out
Puts death away
Sitting in a box
Slaving for pay

Give it up here
Show the door
Use it yourself
Away from war

its meant to be funny
the beging part was a bunch of nonsense that i used to try to sound smart

Here's my new poem.

Life

Life is like a lukewarm soup.
Like fluffy clouds and stinky poop.
Do you want to join the group?
Or turn away and fly the coop?
Follow a Dog named Snoop?
Watch Arsenio and go whoop?
Get killed with your army troop?
Or sing Salt N Pepa’s Shoop?
Follow a rap culture loop?
Or find some cat litter to scoop?
Find a little kid to dupe?
Grow wings and learn to swoop?
Argue is it's meeps or moops? (Seinfeld joke)
Or work for a paper and get the scoop?
Go and buy a hula-hoop?
Or find more words that rhyme with oop?

[PancaKe]

I like your style. :D I enjoy it very much. Your words are so funny!

[ryandude713]

Thank you Pancake!
You're my favorite critic.

Music

Here’s a subject that makes me tick.
I turn on the radio, and I get sick.
Assaulted by genre’s like pop and rap.
I’m sick of all this mindless crap!
GIVE ME ALTERNATIVE! GIVE ME PUNK!
Not this stupid media junk!
Music to which I can rock.
Not the music that I can mock!
Take away these poppy tunes.
That ruin every afternoon.
Give me songs with actual meaning!
Please God do some intervening!

[PancaKe]

Thank you Pancake!
You're my favorite critic.

I think I'm my favourite critic too. :)

Support

Nothing to do
Nothing to say
I'm worried about you
And the way you behave

To old to cry
To young to know
Which way to turn
Exactly how to cope

I want you to know
I am here by your side
Here's my shoulder
If you wanted to cry

[Toxicity]

Just pretty much wrote this all down in boredom...Kinda my true story of the school year so far.

Pride, Shame, and Too Much Vanity: A High School Story

Hold your head high, let the world know how you feel,
Way too much of this ignorance today.
It sickens me to the extreme,
I just want to get away.

Only a month of this game and I'm tired,
it's too hurtful, it's risky, it's lame.
How every day you live to be battered,
I hide away, in my shame.

Away is where I want to be,
away from this constant vanity.
Stereotypes, stereotypes, and more stereotypes,
is what we give; there is no sanity.

Turn away to see the embarassment I feel,
the pain in harassment on homecoming day, the shame,
because their vanity has blinded them from their actions:
harassing one's family with a stupid parade.

Tiger fan I am no more,
after what they have done to me.
The insecurity of the administration,
has ran off my father, hurting me, and my sanity.

The taunts I can no longer stand,
because my dad had done his job.
Refusing to step near me thinking what I would do,
pulling their face, and creating a mob.

"Perhaps tomorrow will be okay,"
what my mother will always say.
I can see the lie beneath it,
I have no choice but to go away.

Maybe to the east lies my destiny,
somewhere else I might be happy.
Towards the ocean, the sunrises, and storms,
where perhaps, there won't be too much vanity.

[fat man with a monkey]

I did not know such a poetry topic existed... I shall defile it with my mediocre poetry! If these come off as dark, I only tend to write poems when I'm in a bad mood, so...
-----
afraid of death's embrace
embrace the fear of death
daemons dancing in my heart
to the music of my soul
-----
I've never seen a bluer sky
Never seen a more cloudy day
As I walk
In the rain
-----
holding on to what was
never embracing what is
living in a figment
of someone else's mind
-----
need some sleep to clear my head
need to sprawl out on my bed
seeking solace in my dreams
...nothing but empty screams
-----
I don't know why, but I tend to write in four lines. and I don't title my poems, so meh.

[Pig on the Wing]

Wild West

The dust sinks upon the ground,
And the sun sinks below the distant hills,
Golden rays cast upon the sandy floor,
Not a sign of life anywhere in sight.

A town out here in the middle of nowhere,
Who in their right mind would choose to live here?
A small colony of people, badly armed nor prepared,
Dreading the return of the evil ones.

What hope did they have? They had none back then.
What hope do they have? Still they have none, even now.
If they returns today, to take the lives of those women and children,
And grown male adults too,
Who is to say they won't get you?

~

Not too sure about this one... any comments would be nice.

Fear
Cold hands on the moon
Swinging under the night
Watching shadows waltz
Under a shadow of spite

Twins ascend nights sun
Dragging down yet away
Where is morning coming
After an icy blacked day

Cold spiteful people cry
As the sun of darkness
Shows his eternal vigil
On the frills of a dress

The reason is unknown
How can darkness hold
His own powerful peaks
With people as his gold

[Tainted]

For Janice
When you’re high you never ever want to come down
And just when things can’t get any better they do
Invincibility—this feeling won’t ever drown
And the feeling will be carried right on through

Your lips are beautiful, carved purely of bliss
And every time I feel them against mine I sigh
With relief and cry through my teeth, a moment like this
Is the moment that makes the heavens want to die

The black hair is drawn around yourself
The black hair is drawn to simulate the night
It illuminates your features, opens inner wealth,
And your flesh becomes a beacon of light

Open this beacon. Open it and show your beauty
To the world, who has been hidden from all of this
How could they be hidden, it’s no wonder they live unruly
But with a woman like you it’s a hit or it’s a miss

Open the beacon
Enter the light
Illuminate and
Rape what is right

Wrote it for my girlfriend, Janice. I tried a new way of doing rhyming in the fourth stanza-- because it sort of carries on into a sentence, and it's just totally unlike my normal style. I sort of like it.

Replaced

She has a hard time trying to say
no to that person that wants things his way
they wont always go the way that he
wants and it wont always be
that way....

but the look in her eyes
said she was excited
her curious mind said
she was slightly frightened
you stole from her
what can never be returned
she was once an innoncent face
would you believe its been replaced...
