Poetry, any and all come and share it with everyone...

[*Kain*]

I decided to make a poetry thread, anyone who feels like posting their work here may do so...

for my first one

Lost, I have lost my direction in life
Without guidance I stand here wondering
Will I live up to my destiny, or will
The fates turn against me? I am lost
Wandering throughout this infernal maze
Life’s maze, a hazy dream of those long gone
A muddy vision, of those yet to come
His story, hers, all seem complete, mine is not
Without direction I turn to the skies
Gazing upon those clouds of heaven
Wondering, waiting, hoping, and coping
Holding onto any hint of what is
What is to come. When will the future show?
Show unto me, my fate, my destiny
I am lost still, and so shall wait

A young soul walked into town
Dreary from his adventure
Looking to find a place of rest
Solitude, peace, found down yonder

Stepping in from the cold rain
Wet from the drizzle that poured
He shut the door to the prairie inn
The patrons looked rather bored

He stepped up to the inn keep
Standing behind the bar
Placed a pouch on the table
And withdrew gold from afar

The kind inn keep accepted
Gave the soul a room
Some patrons didn’t like that
They were a couple of buffoons


They shouted their disapproval
“No shady stranger stays here”
The soul had a solemn look
“You have seen me elsewhere”

They spit and cracked their knuckles
They were ready to chase him out
Why these oafs wanted to fight
Most didn’t care to find out

The soul looked disappointed then
Preparing for a fight, he gave a grin
He tossed his hat between the two
It vanished distracting all within

The patrons seemed confused
For they were all looking around,
The soul they had seen
Was nowhere to be found




Where he stood lie a note
Stating this was a test
The patrons looked to each other
Then read the rest

The note so it seemed
Had been signed by an angel
The test was one of character
Those two seemed deemed for hell

They spent the rest of their lives
Making up for their grave mistake
When it was finally over
Gods hand did they shake

[DemonArchangel]

errr... you told me you only wrote free verse.

[DemonArchangel]

errr... you told me you only wrote free verse when you asked for schoolwork help.

[*Kain*]

yeah well these were from my class assignment so I posted em anyhow

[Holy_Knight]

A veil of water lies before me,
behind me the fires of hell,
below me a restless sea,
above me a hardened shell.

The waters sway like a breezy sheet,
they ripple back reflected desire,
my back begins to feel the heat,
skin cringing into scars from the lashing fire.

The chill of death causing my feet to go ice cold,
the sea rises in muted deception,
finally I look to the sky for the way told,
my shell closes me in, dead silence, its claimed affliction.

[Decker]

Graceful night blankets the sand,
the waves lap undisturbed--
until a hand reaches down and flicks the water;
small motion has bestirred
what 'til then did lie in peace.
Lost in forward motion,
a little trickled backwards
to a mouth that's open wide
it's little enough to spit back out.
But what would be to happen
if the smallness of the hand had lied?
and carried the weight of the world inside?

[Exeron]

I saw an open poetry thread so I thought I'd take up the offer. Don't be too harsh on this one I just put words to the idea while I was sitting here cuz I'm too lazy to go find one I already finished :P


ask who's there noone knows
the strangers face is hidden
to learn his identity you must think
a memory he hath bidden
some see him on a lover's face
others in a child
some see him in their life's pursuit
other's in the wild
still more see him in the ground
others in a stray
some he visits traumatically
others everyday
all to well we realize
his chamelion cloak we know
the peak and valley rolled into one
but which one does he show?

[*Kain*]

Not bad for an on the spot job. Again this is an open thread, I encourage all to post here any poetry. No specific topic, except poetry in any form. In fact I would like more people to post their poems here.

Precipice

detached, I fade away
numbness now I feel
blended colors seem to run
everything's surreal

madness I have tasted
it's running through my veins
invincible I seem to be
and noone holds the reins

now free my conscience is
nothing's in my way
sensations sometime have to fade
but when I cannot say

pictures, not memories
my only witness there
by morning I'll forget
right now I do not care

darkness closing in on me
my body wracked with pain
a shadowed lump lies next to me
silent in the rain

sunlight filters though the trees
rising in the east
cast upon cold stone that reads
"my child rest in peace"

[DemonArchangel]

Clear eyed and proud the noble Caledonian stood,
His claret old and his mutton good.
"Let him drink port," the Saxson cried,
He drank the poison, and the spirit died.

It's from my AIM profile...

Rambling

ever made a tank?
one that rolls over anything
the kind that has a huge gun
a gun that blows everything away
a tank that can enforce your will
cuz noone can stand up to it
a tank that strikes fear
into the hearts of your enemy
one that rumbles
one that shakes the earth
one that sounds like thunder
you know, a tank
no?
you haven't?
me neither I just wondered

ya know what I have made though...


see, aren't you impressed?
I can make that in my sleep
it does everything
it makes you think
it makes you wonder
maybe it makes you laugh
it even makes you mad
mad that someone would waste your time with something that stupid
but I did
and you didn't die in that 2 seconds either
I know you didn't cuz if you did you couldn't read this
and ya know what else?
the entire 30 seconds it took to read this hasn't killed you yet
wait a sec
the world's getting black
it's all fading...

nope false alarm,
just had a lightswitch that needed flipped
kind of like those little light bulbs that appear over yer head
bright little ideas like carrying a chain in the car
just in case you get in the ditch and need pulled out
then you can call the tank you made to come help
you know
just a little revelation like that
one that may or may not help you out
but if it does yer a genious and forever thankful to that lil' light bulb
but
if yer lil' light bulb fizzles and yer idea is bad
than yer in trouble
although you can always deny it was your bulb and blame the switch
or the filament
whichever you prefer
I prefer the filament
that way it's impossible for it to be my fault
unless of course I made it
but you already saw what I usually make
so I'm in the clear

you know what lightbulb I applaud though?
the one that invented twist ties
my life would be so hard without those
my bread you get stale
my trash would fall out
my hubcaps would fall off
nothing would stay together
maybe I could coin a new phrase:
"all the world needs is a few twist ties"
it has a ring to it doesn't it?
I think it'd catch on pretty quick

you know what else would make a good saying?
"the bar can only be as high as the chairs"
like it?
its true too
if the chair's are only like 2 feet high
than noone's gonna sit there if the bars 5 feet high
they couldn't reach their milk
what's that look?
you don't order milk at bars?
well I do
I like my milk
it does my body good
hey that sounds like a good saying
darn it
that's already been takin
oh well I'll find a saying yet
it'll have to wait though
cuz its bedtime and I'm tired
so I'm gonna turn the light back off now
ready?
all tucked in bed with yer teddy bear?
yeah that's right a teddy bear
doesn't everyone sleep with a teddy bear?
no?
just me?
oh well, I don't care
I like my teddy bear
he keeps the monsters away
yes, there are too monsters out there
and my teddy keeps em away
try it
maybe you wouldn't get attacked by monsters everynight
see, it works
ok, I'm ready to go to sleep
you should to it's getting late
don't talk back to me, someone might think yer crazy
heh heh
good night





I'm not sure what that is but I kind of like it :P

[DemonArchangel]

In the center of the group, the most articulate of them all stood up.
Standing on his soapbox
So tall, so proud
He delivered a rousing speech about opression and injustice,
but
instead of applause,
he fell,
a mouse's hole in his head.

[Exeron]

Dusty Road

Nickolai walked down the road
singing gleeman songs
passing the weary travel time
along the dusty road
presently he came upon
a young man tall and strong
the man was sitting, crying
beside the dusty road
Nickolai asked what was wrong
and straight the man replied
"It seems that I have lost my goat
along this dusty road"
"well" Nickolai answered
"what is your name
I'll help you look
along the dusty road"
through teary eyes the young man peered
at the gleeful Nickolai
"if you'll help me I'll comply
my name is Ricoli"
so Nickolai and Ricoli
set off in search together
they looked high and they looked low
along the dusty road
presently they came upon
a fearful spectacle
there they saw a great big bear
beside the dusty road
the bear had trapped an animal
high up in the tree
all it had to was wait
beside the dusty road
wishing to be helpful men
the two men shouted out
"bear please leave it alone
beside this dusty road?
With a roar it turned on them
but they had no fear
for when all was said and done it lay
beside the dusty road
"you see poor bear
this really doesn't do
so we'll ask once more for you to leave
this peaceful dusty road"
when the bear had fled they heard
a sound behind them there
they saw a creature climbing down
beside the dusty road
Ricoli jumped up and down
and ran to hug his pet
there they had a reunion
beside the dusty road
Ricoli and Nickolai
each said their goodbyes
with one last wave they parted ways
beside that dusty road
So when you're walking and you seem
to still have far to go
remember the story of Nickolai
along the dusty road


I seem to keep going for the massive free verse ;) oh well, when's someone else gonna come join us?

[*Kain*]

whenever anyone wants, I need to post some more here, I just keep forgetting.

[*Kain*]

Just leave me alone
I don't want you here
Get away from me now
have I made myself clear?

I'm tired of everything
especially you
Your wasting my time
our friendship is through

I'm this close to the edge
'bout to let go and break
my tollerance has run out
your nonsense I wont take

You try and humiliate me
you can't bring me down any longer
I can't believe I was so blind
I thought our friendship was stronger

I wanted to be friends
don't get me wrong
I tried and tried
but you kept pushin on

You don’t want to be enemies?
that’s nothin' but a lie
you want to ruin my life
you love to see me cry

So are you happy now?
you finally succeeded
you've seen me fall
I begged and pleaded

But I will get back up
wipe all the tears from my eyes
and take the knife out of my back
and to my feet, I will rise

You can't keep me down
what's done is done
it all stops here
a new day has begun

[SomberOne]

I don't see any other poems like this, but thought I would drop one of mine anyways.


I will always remember
the feel of your hair
intertwined with my fingers
the touch of your skin
as it grazed against my chin
the yearning in my bones
when you hold me in your arms
the pressure of your lips
as your tongue grasps with mine
the taste of your kiss
and the scent of your hair
the way your body feels
pressed tightly with mine
the heat between our bodies
invigorating, and passionate
the ripples of my flesh
as your hand glides over my breast
as my pulse quickens
beneath your softened lips
the steam rising off your back
as the growth of passion excedes us
the sense of power
flowing through your limbs
eagerness with standing
the warmth of your breath
around my nipple, gently sucking
the trace of your tongue
as it glides down the slope of my stomach
the softness and passion
as you bring me to hightened ecstasy
the firm grip of your hands
as you bring my hips to meet yours
clashing gently against the night
to bring your soul home
and home again
to heighten beyond perception
to only feel the beating of your heart
as it beats in rythym with mine
that my love
I will always remember


In Rememberance of your Passion

be gentle

Interesting poem to say the least

here's one from my sis

Dear Friend, Thank you

All of the bad in my life
and everything I’ve been through
can’t even amount to all the good times
I’ve had and spent with you

You were there
to catch my fall
take my tears
And dry them all

you were there
to rescue me
cut my chains
and set me free

You’ve always been here for me
when I needed some one to talk to
You were right there by my side
So I wanted to say, Thank you

And I wanted to let you know
I’m glad that you’re my friend
I wouldn’t have it any other way
I’ll be with you till the end

I’ll be there
To catch your fall
take your tears
and dry them all

to pick you up
and carry you
and make you smile
when you feel blue



I’ve had “friends” come and go
But you stayed when others walked out
Because you’re a true friend
and know what friendship is all about



To know I have a friend like you
brings tears to my eyes
What would I do with out you?
I never wanna say goodbye

I can’t think to imagine
if something went wrong,
you ended up dying
and then you were gone

I’d miss you to much
Just thought I’d let you know.
Don’t do anything stupid
I’ll never let you go

So you should know
I’m here for you
I care about you
and I trust you

I could never forget
a true friend like you,
all the good times we’ve had,
and all we’ve been through

Thank you for being there for me.

The One that Loved Me Most

We started going out that one summer day,
And just hung out having lots of fun.
All those secrets we promised we'd never say,
Compared to you there was none.

The summer was coming to an end,
But our love was growing stronger.
All of your needs I was willing to tend,
For the time I wanted to be with you grew longer.

We had our bumps along the way,
But I was willing to see past them.
All was well but soon turned gray,
The light of our love grew dim.

You said there was only one way to know I loved you,
And you used my love for you to use me.
My world came crashing down, my innocence flew,
You raped from me the last thing that made me be.

Now I live my life as a shell,
Nothing more than a ghost.
It seems I now live in hell,
Thanks to the one, the one that loved me most.[/b]

[Abaddon]

Blah, in a world of blah.
Mediocrity, banality - beige.
Beige the colour of life,
A boring shade for boring people.
Tabasco red and fire.

[demons_lament]

well i'm new to this whole evernight thing.. so i figured one thing at a time... and poetry seems like a decent start.... so here is some of mine.. i write quite a bit but hlaf of them i never like



DESCRIPTION OF SUICIDE

Bleed me past open wounds
And spare these memories
Whisper of deep black swoon
Scar across velvet trees
Taken from me, my sane
My bare and blackened eyes
Choke on temperamental bone
Drink it away with lies
Dying on a bed of silk
Touch the weeping stars
Tasting all of vampire milk
Walk the fires of mars
Kiss goodbye to spiders’ lace
And seal the world away
Spare the thorny rose’s grace
And watch my soul decay




HOW TO LOVE THE FALLEN:

What’s the definition of an angel
holy in light and grace
How does one love an angel
if they are not of this race
If an angel weeps of broken heart
then the world will cry
When there are screams of tears
for a heart that dies
One cannot save this being
so lost to light of love
But to sever the winged beauty
and let fall from above
Here this angel can find hope
that calls beyond a grave
When its tears reach another force
its bleeding heart be saved

Come and see me, cries this angel
aching from broken bond
Come dance with me on graves of devils
and fly with me beyond
You of death own hands are made
and created in to be so pure
Full of darkness I have never seen
and pain I do not endure
The beauty of you I can see
even in this fading light
Come take me with you where you go
teach me to sing at night
I will deny the light of heaven
and destroy my kin
If you will kiss me with raven soul
and let me shatter within
I hold my hand to you dark one
so spare me the talk of hate
I broke my wings and darkness comes
so for me it is to late

I’ll be with your forever now
my wing I no longer lack
For being here in the darkness with you
my wings have been created black
Heaven now the enemy of night
as you have kissed me and let me stay
Proving to me the dark can love
and fall for those of day
The shadows that surround you
not longer I shall fear
For I am your fallen now
my songs for you to hear
Angel, call me not my love
for heaven is now my hell
To stay here in eternal darkness
while within me you cast your spell
Touch my skin and leave your mark
scars and endless flame
My eyes will weep tears of blood
for your wild heart I tame

Love me now forever night
and I shall be with you
Who would think what could be done
or what darkness and light can do

~ ANGEL TO GOD~
~What am I to you my beloved
A small bundle of emotions
That dances when you ask
Jumps for you when you command
And kneel before you and love
What am I to you, but a servant
One for you to point at flaws
And pretend you are better off

~I have these wings for you created me
I have these horns for I could not
Uphold your love
I am whatever you want me to be
Changed to how you see fit
Forced to acknowledge my sins
My cruelties line my strings

~I lifted you above me
You were so right to judge my sin
I lifted you above me, to play my god

~But

~I am higher then you
Through the change you have created for me
I find myself
I recreate myself
I rise above those flaws you pointed at
Thus fixing to become what you wanted
Becoming better as a person
While you ignored your own

~You lifted me to my heavenly plane
And I crawled my way past you
Past your love, past your faults
Past my need of you
And to my own perfection

~If there is only one god
And only one may be this creator
I must thank you for your love
And your turned back when I no longer amused
Your coldness when I did not perfect you
For it gave me what I needed
To raise above even your luster and grace

~Now angel
Dance for me
And watch as I become you

those are some of them..just random musings when i am either happy or sad... hope you like them

[*Maximus*]

To seek to see to find
to find what is to your mind
To feel to have a heart
what a heart is to feel love
Love is what makes your heart explode
crubles into little pieces of shatterd dreams
Dreams are what seeks to your mind when you sleep
to relieve all your imaginations while sleeping
Relive what?
all the tention all the hatred all the fire burning within in your
HEART, SOUL, MIND, AND BODY

Ok now, having a rough one tonight, so I
just started typing about the topic at hand.
Doesn't flow, have meter or rhyme, but simply
meanderings.


Nobody cares what mommy says
Nobody cares at all
They look and listen and yet still defy
And still no one hears her at all

Oh I’m home to see my lovely children
I’ve been away at work all day
Oh why is this room a mess
Why are my things strewn?

Should you do that I ask
Is that yours to play with
No mommy, it’s not
Says a tearful voice to me

Oh why, oh why
Everyday it’s all the same
The rules are broken
The messes are made

Scolding from mommy
And to her promises made
Yet all in all the very next day
The same needs to be said

What have I done wrong
Am I not a good parent
If lessons are not learned
And the same promises broken

Do I expect too much
Have the times really changed
In my day you listened
In my day you learned

But always still scolding
Have I become my mom
The tiny loving hearts broken
The tearful stained cheeks

Children try to do right
But sometimes do fail
Can we look past these times
And try to be closer

Is there patience to be had
And tenderness yet to come
Can we stumble past these fights
And love another still

Can we listen to the little words
That so eagerly flow
The things so minute to adults
Yet so massive to mere babes

I hope to move forward
And happily look back
For forever I hope to be
My two boys and me

[shigee]

Unreturned Love

It's as though you stabbed me with a knife
when you told me to stay out of your life
What did I do where did I go wrong
My love for you is still just as strong
Now our relationship is a great mess
And about my feelings you couldn't care less.
You say you never want me around
But not this time, I'm standing my ground.
So listen up now and listen up close
Because thhis time my dear I'm not giving up hope.
I've told you many times before
But to my love you close the door.
I love you dearly and I thought you loved me
But I guess the truth I now see
So if that's how you want it that's how it'll be
But I can't end it now, you're too much a part of me.

[shigee]

Confusion

Unaware, misunderstanding, meandering
through life
Without comprehension of life's misfortunes
Caring, yet not helping
Thinking, yet not moving
Going through life as though in a trance
