A poem based off of this picture;
User Image

Another Love Lost to the Underworld

Under cover of the night
Will-O-Wisps weave their way
through the arms of those oaks
who eternally reach out
for an embrace that will always
escape their grasp.

Winter's paramour appears
languishing for her beloved
who lays across the abyss.

Even now she'll close her eyes
while pressing her body against
the rough skin of
that mysterious giant.
Its longing wailing to her,
"We are the same."

And so nights' mistress will continue
her anguished sobs until
forever comes.

I like it.

The Path Of Light
On a Journey through Darkness,
Seek ye the Path of Light,
And your way shall be clear.

The Beginning

In the Beginning, there was Light,
And we were born of the Earth,
And we were born into the Light.

Lifted Above Mortallity
From the Darkness I have brought you,
And into the Darkness I shall return you.
But fear not, for the Darkness cannot last.

For the Darkness is not a thing of itself,
But rather the absence of something.
For the Darkness cannot be where the Light has not been.

The End of Light
But in the end, the Darkness must Consume us,
For only in the Darkness,
Can the End finally be found.

And we must end, all things must end,
For only with the End,
Can everything Begin anew.

And in the End,
We will all be Nothing,
But, ever after, Something.

And with the new Beginning,
The Darkness shall be banished,
With an eternal path of Light.


Every three-line stanza-thing is supposed to be pretty stand alone, (Just remove the and/but/for) but also part of the bigger whole. razz When I'm finally finished, all these will hopefully all be put together in a sensible, probably chronological pattern. It's going to be an epic-poem-type-thing about a guy who's lifted above Mortallity, and is shown the path of Mortal Immortallity, or the Path of Light. In turn, it's supposed to be sort of part of a book of "prophecies" within a story I'm writing. Which is kinda complicated in and of itself. O.o

It's kinda scary how some of the stanzas just come to me. I wasn't even trying to do the three-line thing when I first started doing it; It just happened that way.

Speaking of which, the "Lifted Above Mortallity" part are the first two I thought of. And they literally came to me, full formed, though not at the same time.

Oh, and of course the capitalization is all important to the poem/s. When it first came to me, because I wouldn't assume to say that I came up with those first two stanzas, the Darkness just seemed like it was capitalized in my thoughts. So I kept doing that with important things like the Light and the End. As in, it's not just -an- end, or -a- darkness, it's -the- End, and -the- Darkness.

Anyways, enough babbling on my part!

Those are quite interesting. I've never been able to do the short but sweet poetry but you pull it off quite nicely. ^_^

At first, I was like, "0mg, w4t teh hellzors ru t4kng abt???!/!?/?//???", but then, I went, "Oh. Right. Ok." XD

Maybe we should make a seperare on-topic poetry one, because there are quite a few abortion related poems.

EDITed: Because I'm an idiot who doesn't bother to recheck the first post when posting about it. Dur.

Thanks! sweatdrop Just about the only kind of poetry I've been able to do right.

I was about to say, "That and Haikus", but Haikus are short and sweet, now aren't they? XP

Pretty much all my other stuff is badly-written lonely/sad/love poems. Usually all at the same time. Or religious stuff, which also isn't very good.

I've actually got 19 documents of "poetry", and I honestly think that this is one of the few that is any good. But that's ok, because poetry for me is often just an outlet for emotions, or for exploring feelings and ideas.

Seriously, we should make a seperare on-topic poetry one, because I think this started out as an on-topic thread, and there are quite a few abortion related poems.

Miranda and I are just rebels. :nodnod:

I started this thread 'cause we had like 3 different poems in one day, once. Like the day I started it. So I figured one spam thread was better than a whole bunch.
