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.

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

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.

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,

[Samchu]

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?

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.

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

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

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...

Ironically, you have several errors in yours. Such much for English...

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]

Didn't know about the poetry corner. And thanks!

[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.

[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…

[mistysakura]

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 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.
