New poetry thread

[pumpkinlanding]

I'm compiling all of the older ones everyone has posted and starting a new thread, just to help clean up the place. Cheers. ^_^

Just thought I'd share some random poems of mine. Anyone else feel free to do the same ^_^

A Multitude Of Solitude

A single bloom can make the most desolate wasteland look the slightest bit more beautiful; such a change seems to most as insignificant, but there are those who can see that it makes a world of difference. Just a single raindrop raises the sea; if we all join in the rainstorm, our sea shall be vast and deep beyond comparison. We must make this a great sea in which to swim.


Seeing Through The Eyes Of The Blind

When we see through the eyes of Sorrow, and walk the path which she has walked; it is harder yet to go back and find your own vision. When your only consolation and cure for the pain is the amount of things you adorn yourself in, and the amount of people with which you fritter away your time; it is easier to simply sit motionless and let Pain taunt you; easier, but not the greatest solution.
Therefore, we must embrace Pain, and communicate to him that we no longer wish to be severed by his needles, his pins, his glistening spears. When Midnight comes to you, and the Moon is illuminating your path, you shall find a crossroads; but know this: your Heart already knows which Way to take. You merely need to listen enough, and the path will be made clear to you.

Ooh. My poems stretch out across the page. Iunno why I write like that. Maybe it's just that's how I read them. Anyway, here's one I wrote recently.

A Pure White Flame

There,
In the
Darkness!

Can't you see?

It's a flame,
Burning bright
As a pyre
Honoring the
Fallen warrior.

Pure and
White as
Freshly fallen
Snow.

It will burn
Away all
Grief and hurt,
Leaving peace and healing
In its wake.

But there are
Always those
Who wish to
Crush the flame.

Who blow with malice
Making the
Tiny flame
Flicker and
Falter.

Who want to
Condemn us
To eternal
Darkness.

Do they
Mean to?
Or is it
Accidental?

Either way,
We must
Protect this
Small light.

We must
Fan it
And fuel it.
Until it will
Glow,
White hot
And pure
For the
Whole world
To
See!

Banshee Coffinnightmare

I fell into a crystal spring,
not knowing what would happen if I tried to climb my way back out.
So I remained in check, in place,
completely motionless and lacking in everything I had once thought I owned.
So I remained there, unwanting, unknowing, unwanted, unknown...
Until the arms of a thousand angels took me within their grasp
and picked me up out of the spring, out of the fountain,
out of that well of oblivious despair.
One thousand, one for each black citadel which now stood before me,
all in a circle, all in perfect order,
and all with the angels standing upon their peaks,
singing songs sad enough to mourn the passing of an entire kingdom.
Her hands reached out to me, past the angels, past the towers, past the spring,
straight toward me. Why me? Why, when I had hurt you before,
just as you had done to me countless times?
Forgive and forget, they say, forgive and forget.
I forgave, but I never forgot. And I knew I could expect forgiveness from you,
because your heart was too good to deny me of it,
even though I didn't deserve it, and do not even still.
All the same, you reached out for me again,
crushing each of the towers, one by one, until they were all gone,
and the angels had fled, flying away from me, never to return.
Still, I put my faith in your hands, letting you pick me up and carry me. And just as I began
to become comfortable in them once again,
you shifted them and dropped me back into the well.
And as I fell, I could feel promises broken,
betrayals committed, lies spoken.
A hole in my heart for every time you dropped me,
added to those made by all the others.
What a beautiful tragedy that is human nature.
I feel the broken shards of one such promise,
cutting me and burning me so coldly.
Red on white, like the Ace of Hearts,
a card that represents the one thing of mine
that ever had any value,
which I gave to you so many times,
so that you could merely stamp it in the dirt
and rub it in my face.
And yet I kept coming back for more,
naive enough to believe that I ever deserved anything but pain,
and foolish enough to let the same dog bite me once, twice, three times, four times....
Not a thought to when it would end,
but rather when we could begin again.
When someone becomes as blind as I was,
they can hardly tell that a person has changed so much.
But the one thing that did not change about you,
my Northern Goddess, my Rose in the Snow,
my last and most beautiful Angel of Death,
who once made all the black inside me red...
The one thing that did not change
was how much you enjoyed killing me,
giving me the payment I have earned.

I don't deserve someone that sane.

Queen Spazzy

So, uh, Spazzy's gonna conquer her fear of rejection for a bit and type up a poem or two... >.>
My self confidence is lacking, so much so that it is near nonexistent. XD

Nothing

What if life was a lie,
What if none of this was real,
What if all the things
You think and do
Were all part of someone's crazy dream?
Maybe we're all just characters
In a story someone else is writing.
Someone once said,
"All the world's a stage,
And all the people it's players."
If that is so,
Then isn't there something out there,
Having to write the script?
I'd like to think that my life is worth something,
That maybe I helped someone out on the way,
That I'm more than just the nothing
Most people seem to think I am.
That perhaps they are the nothings,
And I actually mean something more to the world.
Then again, maybe we're all just nothings,
In a world of nothingness,
Meaning nothing to no one...
Maybe it's better that way,
If we're all just nothing,
And all count the same,
As nothing.


Okay, we'll just leave it at the one for now, my moment of courage deserted me.

Schrödinger’s Cat*
My friend Erwin has a cat.
He keeps it in a box.
Yet, worse than that,
This may come as some shocks,
The cat is neither alive nor dead,
Until we open the box.
(“Oh, please, Erwin, spare the cat!” we pled)
Will you unlock the locks
And determine the cat’s fate?
Don’t worry, it won’t be you we hate.

Just a quick little poem. =]

*in case you didn't figure out from the poem, Schrödinger’s cat is a philosophical paradox in which there is a cat in a box, neither dead nor alive until you open the box and look.

subforum for random not-rythmic poetry?
oh, here:


drain my dreams
out of my head
my fears
follow you here
hear my voice calling you
calling me...
angel in disguise

The Fallen Angel Anarki

I don't know if this is poetry, but hey, why not?

|x|x|x|

Questions without answers converted into the illusion of fantasies and called the creation of what we call imagination
We profess to know everything and what we don't know we shall learn in the delusion of time
We want to know what our purpose in life is even if life itself has no purpose
We escape from what we conceive as reality in confusion and chaos in the web of dreams
Everything is put into what we conceive as meaning though nothing is everything just as everything is nothing
Forever we are wandering for the shattered fragments of our souls, looking for the missing pieces.
We search for a memory in the euphoria of emotions.
I may not know who I am, but I know who I'm not.

|x|x|x|

Forgotten in this world
Remembered in the pain
Happiness has bound you
Sorrow will set you free
Child of man, return
Return to the endless void
Your pain means nothing there
There is nothing in the abyss
Thus there will be no sorrow
Embrace the darkness, mortals
It shall be your salvation
The light will only blind you
Be comforted by the darkness
Your face shall not be seen
Only in the light
Will the truth appear
Shed your face, son of man
The darkness shall be your mask
Always watch, children
Your secrets shall be yours to keep
Do not look into the unforgiving light
Your sins shall always be seen
Never fear in the dark
All there is for you is me
Now, embrace the cold, son of man
Before the cold embraces you

|x|x|x|

My reality are dreams and my dreams reality
I live not for the sake of being awake but for being asleep
Awake, I am contained by mere words
Asleep, I am restrained by only imagination
My needs are wants and my wants needs
I only need to want it to want to need it
To reach out to my longings and desires
To realize and to have, if only in my own reality
For your dreams are not mine
Therefore, your reality isn't either

[lillith the dark one]

hehe i guess i can share something... its older and not as good but i havent written poetry in a while... so be nice =]

you and only you

can you see the tears?
can you hear the crys?
do youknow how you look,
through my eyes?
do you care what happens,
when you take that strike?
do you know what its like?
you well me to do things,
and do i shall,
but with a wrong turn,
i feel the hail.
the life of misery i befall,
shall test me threw it all.
you tell me you love me,
but yet you treat me like im nothing,
alone in the dark,
you leave me suffereing.
the stuggles in life,
weighs me down,
its hard to think,
when your around.
the mournful crys,
when you die,
alone within yourself,
i turn and run,
from a life you have spun.
can you see the tears?
can you hear the crys?
i wish you could see you within my eyes.
the story is not done,
until ive said my peace,
and you lay down to rest,
beneath the tree...

LILLITH!!!!!!!!! *GLOMPS*

Welcome to my nightmare!!! muwahahahaa!!
No, but seriously, I love it. <3  

[AllOurSins]

I don't know why I thought y'all couldn't take my words. sweatdrop stressed mrgreen

Falling

I'm falling from this ledge
Trying not to crash into the surface
I'm falling from life
Losing everything
Desperately wanting something
The ground is closing in
I can now see rocks
That will surely destroy my body
I'm falling
I'm crying
My life is ending
And I can't stop it from doing so
I'm falling  

[pumpkinlanding]

Deep......

I like it. In an odd way.....

Just reminds me of....stuff....But yeah. Rock on!  

[AllOurSins]

Not trying to remind anyone of anything so much as just voicing whatever makes its freaky way into my mind, I have some lighter poems. (hehe my idea of light ) Just look on my profile.  

[lillith the dark one]

i wrote this a couple years ago.. one of my better ones.. pretty dark... um.. ya.. haha... enjoy =]


Undone

Why does every one hate me?
Why am I the disease?
Throw your stones,
I’m made of glass,
I shatter so easily.
The darkest depths of my clouded mind,
Hiding truths,
I’ll never find,
The void so deep,
I’m blind to see,
That none of this is me.
The tears will shed this lonely night,
The flowers wilted, crumpled and died,
Screaming my last,
The vengeance wrath,
The prayer answered,
With peace at last.
My heart so clouded,
Covered in ice,
I watch my life,
As deep inside, this heart of mine,
I mourn for love,
Long since lost,
And listen to the questions,
Of my breaking heart,
As it beats its last.
Why does everyone hate me?
Why am I the disease?
You’ve thrown your stones,
Though it seems,
That I am the one,
Who has yet to see.  

[pumpkinlanding]

Your heart's broken...? =[[

.......I have red duck tape. I can put it back together for you. =]]  

[The_Homicidal_Mad_Hatter]

Bullet through the brain
Make me go insane
Significant intelligence swimming down the drain
Recreating chaos in a three dimentional world
Brainless little hypocrits doing as their told

Fire burns the soul
Losing self control
Make the flames
Burn the brain
With designated pain

Ember's dying
no more lying
I'm trying I'm trying
To stay within my head
Leading me to stay awake in unconciousness; unafraid

You may think I'm mad
Or maybe even insane
'Cause I just gave you the bullet that had sunk into my brain!

mrgreen lol redface 3nodding sweatdrop  

[lillith the dark one]

another one i wrote awhile back... the majority of them are crappy, but ive only posted the ones that seem the best.. IMO...

Fear

walking down the road i chose,
a life i must live alone,
with hateful words,
a cry unheard,
a void of blackness,
within my words.
the secrets of my hidden past,
haunts me till the day i last,
among the wishes i see the light,
the endless hopes of every night,
the secret thought within my head,
will one day be my death,
a secret fear i hear at large,
the fear of death is not too far.
truth beyond the lies untold,
watch my life as it unfolds,
countless years i walk its road,
the life i love will never go.  

[pumpkinlanding]

Mad Hatter: Wicked, dude. I could so see that being a song. Seriously. ^__^

Lillith: Yet another sweet one. Why is it I always feel like I can relate to your work in some way? hehe.

<333  

[lillith the dark one]

hmm... not sure when i wrote this.. but its one of my better ones...

Be Damned...

Is it hard for you to face my eyes,
a door to my soul and tell me your lies,
to deny me your truth,
and be damned as my soul is to you?

Can you take back your darkened words,
even though you have smited my worth,
to laugh at me pain,
and be damned as my bitter is gained?

To try is to try, to fight is to fight,
i bear my soul and beg you now,
can you turn a blind eye to vow,
to darken the last of my light?

If the time is to come and I must fight,
I'll bear you no ill at first sight,
to defend against me,
and be damned, for you know I will be...  

[Saroe Elend]

Gawd! All of you people are so talented. v.v *is jealous*

"____"
Sun is rising in my night,
the light shouldn't be this bright
and the moon is setting in my day
something has gone to dismay
light has captured darkness
and darkness has captured light
my dreams, my hopes, my soul
are on fire for the choice I made years ago
I am a warrior
a server to the God
the light is too bright, I blindly trust you God
Take me to a medium,
no extreme, I want to feel the love you created
I want to feel the soft touch of a non-immortal
Have I not met your demands? What have I done wrong?
You've ignored my pleas
Is the sky full of lies?
I question your existence - have I betrayed?
I'm blinded. Be my eyes, be my life or be my end
