Gypsy's Circle
 

*dances around* My very own personal poetry thread.

I've been writing poetry for the past couple of years now. It's a hobby I have. A lot of it is on the depressing and dark side, but that is what you get in this day and age with most teenagers. *shrugs* I rather do like the dark stuff, but that is just my opinion. I write happy stuff ... sort of. It's more of neutral than anything.

Rainy Day

Wishing for a rainy day
Let the rain take it all away.
Let the rain be my haven.
Let all the pain be shaven.
Tears aren't enough to free me from this murderous dwell.
There's got to be some secret that they won't tell.
Chaotic forces roam this dying land.
Will anyone ever take a stand?
Forces that are pulling me down,
I can't stop them, my voice makes no sound.
Butcher knife looks so inviting.
Believe me, it looks enticing.
But I dare not touch it,
My death would cause a small fit.
I'm not ready to be taken to the Heavens.
I will wait for my time, my time in Heaven.
Wishing for a rainy day.
Let the rain take all of my pain.

Written for my dear friend, Jordan.


Silent Melody

Silent tears run down your face
Black tears form from eyeliner
A soothing voice
Aching, crying, needing

What can I do to stop this from happening?
A hug, an embrace - love?
Whatever it may be, please let me help
I hurt to see you like this
I have never seen you so torn

Cut deep within yourself
You can only heal yourself
No one can help you

I weep and add my tears to yours
I strum the strings in tune with you
We make a crying melody
Not caring what we sound like

[There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
A puzzle we've yet to solve
Through your soaring voice
We'll find a way to put the pieces together]

they might be dark, but they are still awesome. some of my poems are like yours. please add more. don't rush.

Thought of this one morning after lazing in my bed well into the noon.


Morning War

The sun peaks through the curtains
Rays of light shine into your eyes
Rolling over, you try to escape
But the sun has other plans-
He fills your room with his brightness
You bring the covers over your head
"A-ha! He cannot find me here!"
But, alas, he has found you
You groan, frustrated
You cannot win against him.

'Darn you, sun.'

Thank you for your comment, Narcissa. :) It is greatly appreciated.

Written after a night of dancing.


If Only For A Moment

Searching through a heated crowd
I find you and all your glory
Anger fills me deep inside
But then our eyes meet
And the anger is dispersed
We've not seen one another for ages
Emotions are haywire and don't always speak the truth
Step after step, we get closer
The music pounds in our ears; that is all we hear
We do not hear our friends calling our names
Nor the rhythm of our hearts beating
The music fades for just a second
But a second is all we need
I find myself in your arms, melting at your touch
You pull me closer and I do not hesitate
We dance

As the music stops once again
Our eyes meet yet again
Before we both disappear into the crowd
I will remember that dance
Forever and always
The music buried our hatred and let us be together
If only for a moment

your poems are great. keep them coming. I look forward to the next one.

*prays she will not get in trouble for this type of poem*


Violation

Whisper secret nothings
Kiss my neck
Enchant me

Press your body to mine
Coax me into eternity
Breathe me

Never let it end
Say it will last forever
Promise me

Explore my being
Our bodies intertwine
Caress me

Kiss my bloody lips
Look into my soul
Violate me

the one thing that i love about your poems is that there is always a message or a story behind them. I know in all poems there is messages and stories butsometimes they aren't as obvious. Well done :D

Thank you bunches for your comments, Angel8807 and Lee. :D
To Lee: I honestly do not see how people can write poems without having obvious messages. What's the fun in reading a riddle??

Here's one of my poems that seems to get the readers frustrated.


Burned Emotion

Walking slowly
Walking softly
Eyes adjust to the dark
Eyes searching

Something drew me here
Something is calling for me
Someone is waiting in the shadows
Someone is reading my soul

I can't see who it is, but I can feel them
I can't follow their voice, but I know where they are
My eyes see the shadows, but can't make them out
My heart is poudning like mad, but I know I am calm

I can see you so clearly in my mind, but you remain invisible
I can feel your hot breath along my neck, but you are not there
You smooth voice whispers my name, but you do not speak
Your gentle caress embraces me, but I know you're gone

I close my eyes and try to find you, but you are hidden from me
I call out to you, but only my own voice comes back to me
I search for you, for days, months and years, but I've never found you
I tried remembering our love, but the emotion was burned too long ago

i like reading poems without obvious messages its a challenge :D

i first thought your poem was about a stalker lol but i am guessing its about how hard it is to find your true love?

*falls out of her chair for laughing so hard* The latter would be more correct. I don't know exactly what it means - I was reading a betrayal romance story at the moment. :shifty: Take that short sentence however you see fit.

well the first few verses were describing a stalker to me lol aww well, PAMS

Lol! I'll have to keep that in mind for the next poems I write. Things to avoid, lol.

Just for Lee, for being so kind about my writings.


Mirror Image

I see you there
Staring back at me
You look so different from before
I wonder if you know you've changed
You look like a stranger to me
But I somehow still know you

You seem to have a slight angelic aura
Something that wasn't there before
But then I see the evil in your eyes
And I know it's truly you
Those eyes that chained me in the dark
Those eyes that hold my secrets

You've changed ove the years
I still can't believe it
Your strength has multiplied
Your heart has been blackened
You have no pity for others
You laugh at their tears

I don't know how you came to be this way
I don't know how your heart became so black
I don't know when this all happened
I doubt I'd change you even if I could
Cause everyone needs a dark side
I know I need you.

awwww that is sucha good poem to love the last line smmed it up, and i can see the whole evryone has a dark sideand shes looking at herself in a mirror and stuff right? ifot i will hit myself lol

Lol, you're right, so don't hit yourself!!

yay i got it right anywayz PAMS!!!!

Forgotten Voice

Sing me a song
Tell me a prayer
Speak to me with that voice
Speak to me like there's no one listening
Speak to me like I am your soul mate
Like I am your enchantress

My life was a mess until you came along
I was on the verge of ending my life
But that voice -your voice- helped me live again
You took away my tears
And held my hand through everything
You believed in me when no one else would

I had hopes and dreams of being with you
But you did not come to be my Prince
You came to show me the way through life
There's sorrow in my heart
But it will not get the best of me
You're my Guardian, my Angel, my Demon

You've never let harm come to me
You only allow what can't be stopped
And that I understand
I can't think of any possible way to thank you
You've saved me so many times
I don't know where I'd be if you hadn't found me

Take my hand
Lead the way
Guide me through my darkest days
Guide me where I need to be
Guide me to your castle in the clouds
To your world away from mine

awwww thats a great poem well done PAMS

This poem is dedicated to someone I will never forget, nor ever forgive.


Beautiful Body

Look at me
Look at my body
Look at the cuts and bruises
Things that you gave me

I remember each and every one
I remember when and why
You thought it was all a joke
You never saw me cry

I'm not ashamed of your branding
I wear them proud
If I was drunk enough
I might even explain them all to a crowd

The one over my heart
That's the one I show off the most
It proves your love for me
I cherish it above all others

The one on my forearm
The one that burns when I write
It's a constant reminder of my goals
A reminder of my dreams

I really should be ashamed
The bruises and cuts are countless
But if it weren't for your help
I wouldn't have such a beautiful body

wow that was a confusing poem and a very good one at that, i liekd how your reflected some of your injuries to yourself well done!

It was confusing? o.O It wasn't supposed to be. What made it that?

i dunno it was like you were talking baout cuts and bruises and then your body is beautiful thats the bit that confused me :D could you explain it?

It's a poem about abuse, first off. Once you overcome and leave your abuser, you don't shame the bruises and cuts they gave you. In my case, I'm proud of them and because of them all, they made my body beautiful; stronger. Now do you get it?

I've never gotten along with my family. One night, this flowed out through my pen onto paper. A bit angsty, but it's only a portion of what I felt and still feel.


Too Heartless To Care

'What's wrong?'
What a stupid question to ask me
When is something not wrong?
Honestly
You ask such stupid questions
Maybe if you were to actually listen to me
You might get a hint of what's wrong
But we've already established that you don't listen
And you don't care
So why bother trying to act?
I see through your mask
You can't fool me

It seems everyone in this family is deaf
We never listen to each other
And ask stupid questions
That should be a sign
A sign that tells us 'what's wrong'
One of these generations needs to change things
Why not this one?
Because I'm too cold and heartless to care
That's why
Or so everyone thinks

How little you all know.

sorry i haven't read in a while, i totally forgot abouty the poems :D anywayz i am here now, great updates Trixie! PAMs and BUMPS

Thanks Lee. :) And there's no need to apologize! I hope I haven't made you feel obligated to read. <.< Read only if you wish!

well i wish so i shall :D

It's been three months since an accident has taken place in my life. I've been in denial for so long of what had happened ... I wrote this after realizing my lies weren't the truth.


Goodbye, My Love

So alone
An echo in my heart
To live eternity in solitude
Untouched, unloved

Why did you leave me?
I wasn't ready to be alone
I wasn't ready to say good-bye
Why did you leave me?!

I cried an ocean that night
The tears flowed like a never ending river
I missed you and hated you
How could you have done such a thing?!

We made a promise to each other
We planned out our futures
We had dreams!
Why, oh god, why did you leave me?

You inspired me to write
You held me when the world was cruel
You were always there
Loving me so tenderly

One night, one bloody night
And you've disappeared
Never saying good-bye
Never allowing me to tell you how much I loved you

I still do
Oh gods, I've never stopped
My heart keeps hoping you'll come back
It keeps beating just for you

I miss you ...

great update Trixie *applauds* who is the person that "Dissappeared"?

Tori and Lee, thanks you guys. :)

Lee, who would be what my family calls a lifebond.

Your Annoyance

To stay in this world
Chaotic and dying
I would be killing myself so slowly
In days, my grave I'll be lying

To stay in this world
I would only be in your way
I would be an annoyance
That you'd throw away

By your side I used to stand
Now I wait in the growing crowd
Calling out your name
But the voices are too loud

Fallen tears roll down my cheeks
Do you even see them glistening?
Do you dare to wipe them away?
Or will you stand there, pretend you're not listening?

So many years have passed
Your feelings toward me are still the same
They still crush my heart, my soul
Do you think love is a game?

I should know better by now
I should know you no longer love me
I should be able to walk out on you
The hurt you will see

Courageous and strong
I have become both
I will lead my heart away
Leaving you memories at the most

Time to say goodbye
Time for me to break free
I'm leaving you now
I hope you miss me

Yes, it is.

ohh i lovedit, and i like the wee bits th rhymed in the 2nd and 4th lines, it was fantastic Trixie post more soon :D

I can't figure out why I haven't posted this yet. *scolds self*


Ti Amore

When I see you
When I look in your eyes
All my dreams seem to come true.
When I touch you
When my hands touch your body
I melt at your warmth.
When I kiss you
When our lips come together
I never want to loose your sweet taste.
When I leave you
When we go our separate ways
I cry out your name.
When I cry
When a single tear rolls down my cheek
You're there to take my sorrow away.
When I fail
When I loose all hope
You're always the one who believes in me.
When I'm angered
When I scream and shout
You're always the one who listens to all of my doubt.
When I'm dying
When I'm barely hanging on to life
You'll be the one to hold my fragile hand.
When I die
When I'm away from this world
You'll feel my presence and my loving words.
When we meet again
When I can touch you once more
I'll look up into your eyes and tell you 'Ti Amore.'

brilliant. but what is Ti Amore?

amazing poem :) what is ti amore?

the last lien was my favourite ;)

Ti Amore means 'I Love You'.

It amuses me what my mind thinks up of while in Science class..


Forced Kindness

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to think
My head is spinning around in circles
Like carrots in the sink

I can't make sense
Of all these feelings that you're making me feel
I try to forget about you
But then I'm running at your heels

I wish I could clear my thoughts
And focus on what is important
But every time I see you
My to-do list is shortened

Leave from my mind
Leave from my sight
Leave from daylight
Leave from the night

Just leave from my presence
Just - disappear
It's not so much to ask-
It's as I feared

I can't believe what I'm saying!
I can't believe these words are coming out of my mouth!
I wish I could get all of these feelings out of me
Just by kicking you down South.

All I can do is hang my head and sigh.
You are forever more stuck in my mind.
I cannot send you all of my hatred;
So I might as well be kind.

thats amazing! its got a nice rhyme going through it :D post more soon

sigh... love poems

OMG I forgot about the poetry section! I'm soo sorry I haven't been reading. lol
and you can call me Angel. You have wonderful poems and I love reading them.

Thank you for your comments, guys. :)


Remember

When life's set in a cave in
And your world is falling down
Remember my love.

When the ocean waters turn black
And you breathe in poison
Remember my laughter.

When your friends and family betray you
And you are alone in the streets
Remember my embrace.

When you're inches from death
And you're coughing up blood
Remember my face.

When you're lying in your grave
And you want to escape
Remember me.

Written in response to a friend's writing about me. Biographies of friends, shared.


Regina

In a world where lies are the truth,
Lives a girl who has nothing to loose.
Hopes and dream are lost and stolen;
She wears a mask her tears have woven.
A heart that's empty and black as ice,
She plays no games; she's hardly nice.
Raised by a family that never cared,
She built up a wall every time she was scared.
She once had a love, but he was taken,
Now she withdraws her heart, afraid to be forsaken.
Many have tried to bring her into the light,
But she refused, having comfort in the night.
She carries a bitterness, a thirst for revenge;
To pay back others, deaths shall be avenged.

OMG the 'Regina' poem is great! *loves it* sorry i havent commented in a while, i was studying like a lot lol

I'm glad you liked it so much, Lee. :D And studying always comes before reading on SS!

Thanks Tor. ^_^

Here's a poem written more on the dark side, though with strange humor.


Dear Death

Are you Death?
Are you here to take me away?
Are you here to end my life?
Are you here to take me to the realm where none return?

All right, let's go.

You've been waiting long enough
Fifteen years seems quite a long time
You should be thankful I'm giving in so soon
There just doesn't seem to be anything worth living for
So much hatred and pain in this world
Hell's got to be better than this!

I know I'll be missed, but I don't care
They should have realized who I was
They should have seen me there
But they never did, they looked right past me
So screw all the 'loved ones'
I hope they live horrible lives

People always say you don't know what you have until it's gone ...
I wonder if that will happen when I'm gone
Will people ever shed tears of regret?
Will they take unkind words back?
Will I?
No, I will not and neither should they.

I say things and mean them, no matter the context
If you don't like it, then erase me from your life
I am who I want to be and no one can change that
Whether it be death or some other sort of change
People will finally realize everything I went through
Every thing I hid in the dark depths of my soul

I'm ready now, Death
I no longer fear you
You've come for me so let's get going
They'll have time to mourn
I'll have time to perish into nothing
Let's go, Death, let's not keep the others waiting.

A sequel of some sort to "Dear Death".


Until The Time Has Come

Let me run away from this place
Let me be free of your chains
You don't control me anymore
I can live my own life

I don't need your guidance
I've got enough courage
Get the hell out of my life
I don't need you to hold my hand

I've put up with you for far too long
You moved out when you were sixteen
I'm cutting it a year short
You can't stop me, don't even try

I know it will be rough
I know I'll fail
But good god, I don't want to be near you
I don't want to stay

I don't care how I end up
Let me die by the time I'm thirty
As God as my witness, if I ever become like you
I swear I'll end my life so quickly, you won't know what hit you.

Never thought I'd be suicidal
I was always against it
But you've pushed me so far
I don't really care

So I'll die before my life is halfway over
So my dreams will never come true
With all of your encouragement,
It's not like they ever would

I've told Death of my plan
He agrees to it all
It'll wait for my signal
Then he'll snatch me up in a glance

But you never know
He could change his mind
Might make me go through misery
Until it's time

Until my dear friend comes to take me away
I'll live in this hellhole
I'll put up with you and your wh*res
I can handle a couple of more years

Until that time has come
I'll keep on living my life
But don't hold my hand
I'm a big girl now.

Don't worry, Tori. I have no plans to end my life any time soon.


Puppeteer's Strings

I hate the way how I become someone new
Whenever I catch a simple glimpse of you.
You have this special hold over me
You are controlling me like a puppet.
It is not intentional, your hold over me
You don't control the strings
You're just the puppet's master.
Living your life as simple as you can
You become the Puppeteer without meaning to.
You've created thousands, maybe millions, of puppets-
They all listen to your every word and command.
Everyone except me.
I don't want you to control my thoughts and actions.
I want to cut my strings and be free of you.
Try hard as you might, Puppeteer, but you are no longer in control.
I've cut my strings and grown to be someone new.
Someone who can withstand your commands.
Someone who is free of the Puppeteer.

Oh ma gawsh i have missed like a million of them >_< anywayz theya re all good Trixie, you are very talented :D :yes:

Psh, talented. ;) Thanks Lee.

I know this isn't classified as poetry, but it's one of my favorite and newest writings. If not allowed, mods, please remove it.


Goodbye, Dear Friend

It’s been one year. One month. One day. It seems just like yesterday that I last saw you. You were laughing at my curiosity and how it led to me dancing around the room like a maniac. Tears formed in your eyes from laughing so hard. Those were the only tears I ever caused you; the tears from your death are the only ones you ever caused me.

It’s funny how the Fates change your future. Ironic as well. We both thought we’d end up living in an old house, beating each other with one another’s canes, arguing about the well-being of our children. Instead those plans were annihilated right before our very eyes.

It was a mistake. You were never supposed to die. You were just thrown between a never ending war and became a causality. What a terrible word, but it is what you became. I wish I could go back in time and save you from your fate, but I cannot, so you remain lifeless.

If tears were enough to bring you back, they would cascade down my face like a waterfall. Even if the tears would help ease the pain and sorrow, I would cry.

You were a quiet and brave soul. You always stood by the sides of loved ones, even if you didn't entirely believe in their point. You gave words of wisdom when needed and even when they weren't called for. You gave me a shoulder to cry on when things were hard. You gave me someone to turn to when no one else would listen. You became a protector for my family, following in my grandfather's footsteps. We're eternally grateful for you and shamed that it was because of us your good soul was taken to the heavens above.

There are a thousand things I want to tell you. A thousand words that your ears need to hear. But it's too late to say them .. You're now gone and nothing I can say will bring you back ...

You'll be missed dearly and never forgotten. Your spirit will live on through our hearts. Rest in peace, dear friend.

wow, they are really really good
:yes:

One of my badly written poems.


Hidden Lies

This hurts too much
Make it go away
Make my aching disappear
I never thought you would hurt me
Shows how much I know

You were the one who told me
Everything would be okay
But you only told me that
To cover up your lies
My heart led me astray

Now my eyes are open
Searching for your hidden lies
You can only hide them for so long
I'll find them
And I'll see you for your true colors

One by one, they'll be found
Each and every lie
It's not too late to confess them all
Wait, no, I change my mind
Yes, it is

Your lies will never match this lost love

awww so cute yet the meqaning behind it is so sad :( keep up the good work anyway Trixie

Written in the spur of the moment. Untitled for now.


You think harsh words and idiotic actions will change what’s happened?
You think making brash decisions is wise?

Think again.

Common sense is something you need to have to live in this world.
Without it, where are you to turn when reality shows its terrible face?

Alone.

Why must you add your quarrel to the excessive gathering of what we already have?
Breathe deeply and think before you speak!

Be wise.

Look above to differentiate sanity and lunacy.
Unite as one or stand alone and fail.

Listen.

Open your ears and minds to what others have to say.
Don’t be so blind to a truth that has been hidden from you.

Respect.

Authority is chosen highly for a reason.
Respect others and they shall return the favor.


“Do to others, as you would have done to yourself.”

Another poem written in the spur of the moment.


Melody of Destruction

A stream of anger and sadness;
Questions fluttering through the air,
Answers locked away.

Humanity is lost.
Wings have been clipped.
Fires have been put out.

Life given is a Blue Moon.
Graves become the streets.
Sorrow replaces love.

A silent melody plays once again.
Strings of a violin are passionate.
Yet the bow severs the world.

A never ending war wages.
Innocent lives are stolen.
Fuel is added to the fire.

A silent melody plays.

Where are the gods?
Why do they sit back and watch?
Can't they see what's happening?

A river of blood flows.
Tears are shed but mean nothing.
What's come of this world?

Brilliant Reas. They both are. Talk to you soon.

~*Toria*~

omg, you're really talented! I loved reading your poems. They're awesome! Me, I write poems when I'm heartbroken. It's how I cope. That's why they're stupid. But yours are great! Mostly dark, but I like it! ^_^

Thank you, Laieesha. You inflate my ego with your flattery. ^_^
And as usual, thanks Tor.

This was written more than a year ago. I was listening to techno music and somehow this came from the tip of my pen.


Wishing and Wanting

I don't want to be like others.
I want to be my own person.
I want to be able to wear what I want
And not be criticized by it.

I want to love who my heart chooses-
No matter what stereotype they are.
I want to have friends who aren't like others-
Ones who aren't clones of everyone else.

I want to be able to scream and shout-
To throw punches and harsh words.
I want to express myself
In whatever matter I find fit.

I want to repair old friendships,
That have drifted away.
I want to forget old enemies-
Forget all of my old grudges.

I want to sing in the shower, to the moon,
To anything that catches my eye.
I want to dance like there is no tomorrow.
Like no one is watching or caring.

I want to kiss all of those I love,
The ones who hold a place in my heart.
I want to hug family and friends.
Hug them like my father used to hug me.

I want everyone to be happy-
Have great days and no bad ones.
I want all my special someone's to know how they are loved.
To know that I would cry if they died.

I wish for my family to be happy and become one.
I wish for my friends to know how much I care.
I wish for everyone I love to live life to the fullest.
I wish them all the best.

opps havent checked in in a while. I loved all three of them :D they are sooooo brilliant Mz Talented Trixie

One of my very first poems. Terribly written, but it is still mine.


Tears

You say my tears
Hurt you inside
But when you turn away
You glow inside
You used to wipe
My tears from my eyes
But now I see
That they were all lies
My tears are more than ever
I need you here in my arms
I want you to hold me forever
But now I see
All the lies you led me to believe
Now I stand strong
I can relieve
You of your hatred
I don't need you anymore
Don't try and make me stay
I don't need you anymore
Get out of my way

aww its not terrible its cute and original. All poems have different ways of setting out we can just say this is you own personal invention :)

Thank you, Lee. And what you say is true .. all poems have different ways of setting out. I guess this means the majority of my poems are my own invention. ^_^

w00t for own inventions. You update A LOT so i am devoting some of my time of SS to check this thread everyday!

^.^ I have finals this week so my time on SS will be minimal but once summer comes, I'll be posting like mad. ^_^

love that Tears poem! I like poems about love and disappointments :D They just sooo go together, don't you think?

Funny that you mention disappointments, I have one entitled that, though added on a few words. I'll post it, just for you Laieesha.


Just a Disappointment

I can't seem to do anything right
I'm one big disappointment
To just about everyone I know
I wish I could stop
Doing whatever it is
That I'm doing wrong
But everyone thinks it's impossible
Impossible to change my ways
Impossible to be different
Impossible to bend to their wishes
I wish I could bend to whosever wishes
And finally end my major disappointment
I wish I could
But I can't
I'm just a disappointment.

:( aaww... i feel that way sometimes. Like a big disappointment and nothing else... and you posted that just for me?? *huggles trixie*

There should be a prose section, in connection to the Poem thread. <.< I have yet another prose to post. I hope I don't get in trouble. *crosses fingers* This was written last year, October 26.


Inevitable Birthday

The glow of a lava lamp and two candles were the only light inside of a small room. A young girl was lying on her bed, her elbows resting on the pillows. A warm peach towel was wrapped around her head, keeping all of her hair tucked inside. She was dressed in slim black pants and a large blue Naval Reserve t-shirt. Glancing around the room, a helium balloon floated up to the ceiling, an inscription on it. “Relax … it’s your birthday.” What a birthday she had had.

The day started off good when her best friend decorated her locked with scented candles and flowers. Every thing went fine with her until her mother picked her up at her friend’s house. They argued in the car over the same things they always argued about regularly. She tried to ignore her mother, but the elderly woman only talked louder and angrier. Once at home, the mood changed. It was her birthday. It was her special day. She wasn’t going to let anyone ruin it. Or so she thought.

After opening a card and DVD, the girl eyed the big present at the end of the table. She knew what it was. It was the only big thing she asked for. Before she could open it, her mother somehow managed to anger her. After trying to calm her thoughts, she opened the big gift. It was a red and orange lava lamp. She smiled and immediately put it together. Things went well until the end of dinner.

Arguing broke out once again, but she was not involved. The arguments were between her mother and older sister. It ended terribly. As she heard the slam of her sister’s door, she let out her tears. Her sister had always found a way to make her cry on her birthday. It was inevitable.

After a long hot shower, she lit her new candles and turned her lava lamp on, then began to write out her day in the best way she could.


I had hoped and prayed that this year would be different, but I guess my prayers were never answered. As I watch the flicker of the candle flame move and goggle over the red blob that moves up and down inside a glass tube, I try to think of a way to change the future.

That is so cool Reas. Very nice.

((Sorry we haven't gotten to talk recently...))

aww two poems i have missed this time, well i am here to read them now :D

they are all great the length of the inevitable birthday one is amazing to me, well done!!!!!

Tori: Cool? They've never been called that before ... Groovy. ^_^

Lee: You always miss a few. *poke* ;) I'm glad you liked Inevitable Birthday. I had no idea it would post so long, since when it was handwritten, it was only a full page, front and back.

I'm not exactly sure what I was thinking, nor of who, when I wrote this poem.


Unknown Memory

Your voice brought back a memory
As did mine with you
The memory was too far gone for either of us to remember
But we know it's there
You had a simple name; a name I had only met once
But I knew that wasn't you
Your sarcasm brought laughter to our ears
But I know it's not the sarcasm I think it is
Your smile is warm and refreshing
But I know you are not the little boy I once knew

I can sit and ponder your existence
But no matter what I do, I do not know who you are

You're a phantom of my mind
A ghost that's come to haunt me
Just a single thought of you saddens me
You bring back too many memories
Memories of you; memories of one we both lost
You were his best friend; I was his neighbor
We both lost him in a quick moment
We both cried our tears

I now know not what to think
You remember, but you are not the boy I grew up with
You are not the one I remember

oohh... that's a good one! sounds like a storyline for a movie or something... ^_^

5397/My Saint


A long night filled with endless conversation.
Tears, laughter, flushes; all so wonderful.
It hasn’t happened in so long,
I was beginning to think it never would.

Such simple words you shared me.
Their effect on me leaves you wondering.
I don’t know how to explain it.
I don’t think I can.

Will things change between us?
We’ve opened up more than ever.
I wonder if you can accept me.
I'm not sure if you will.

You know I’ll always accept you,
No matter what you do.
It’s the least I can do to repay you
For seeing through my eyes.

Even after everything is said and done,
We’re still able to laugh with one another.
It strikes me as ironic that we can,
But I won’t ponder something I relish.

Thank you doesn’t even begin to sum it all up.
I’ve so much more to tell you that I can’t put into words.
I know you’ll be there when I can.
You’re my saint and I love you for that.

Last Dawn

They're all gone.
They've picked up their towels and
Will be back at dawn.

The gulls rest on the cooling sand.
Picking up leftovers
Scattered everywhere by man.

The sun has long been set.
The wind blows
Across where lovers met.

Waves have calmed down.
They no longer tower high and roar.
Now, they make a calm, soothing sound.

Footsteps, hearts in the sand,
All have been washed away,
Waves forming a new wetland.

Mother Nature comes out of the sea.
She comes back to claim her watery land.
"This land, mine, now and forever," said she.

Sitting on the wet banks
She gazes out to the never ending sky
She sits back and points out the planks.

"Such peacefulness once they are gone.
They try to take over my world,
I can't wait until their last dawn."

*claps* i love the beach/water, and i live near one too, so i love that one!!

Colosseo

I remember now ... the blood stained walls. The echoed cries from hundred of years before. The clashing of metal. The squelching noise as skin was pierced.

I remember now ... the last words of death. The growls from creatures. The rattling of chains. The moans of the weak. The cheers from a blinded crowd.

I remember now ... the high walls that reached the skies. The arches that were carved from stone. The seats that were never sat in.

I remember now.

Oh my, I missed three! Three poems! *slapsself* Bad Tori

They are brilliant Reas. Filled with thought. Love them.

This was written for a story nearly two years ago. I know, it's horrible. Sung by Bispell. ^_^


Born to Ireland

Think back to our wonderful days
Think back when we used to run around, dazed.
Think back to the pubs
And dancing around in random clubs.

We were always the five troublemakers.
Stealing bread from all the bakers.
But now that we've come to a new land
We stopped causing trouble and formed a band.

America's never seen people like us
Frankly, we don't see why they fuss.
Yes, we make noise-
What did you expect from Irish boys?

CHORUS (make one up!)

We are here for one main reason
We are here to change the season.
Try and stop us--
We'll betray your trust.

Rock and roll all the way
Our music will never go astray.
We don't expect fame
We don't expect you to remember our name.

Remember our songs and the beat
Sing our songs, when it's raining in the street.

Black Poison

Unable to move
Unable to breathe
Held prisoner by my own weakness

I always thought my lies were full proof
I never thought anyone would know
Then you came along with a key to my lock

I can't trust you with this new knowledge
You and I both know that
Blackmail is dear friends with the Fates

My black poison is one of a kind
Don't worry so much
Your screams will deafen the pain

A modern day witch, I boil your blood
You can't scream any more
You voicebox is long gone

Everyone called me heartless; cruel
Your dismembered body will show them
Just how right they were all along

No One To Blame But Myself

Here are the tears that cannot be shed.
These are the words I've never been able to say.
I think I love you.
I can't see how this could be possible.
I've known of you for three years,
But we never even had a friendship,
So how in the world can love be thrown into our mix?
It can't.
That's what I'll keep telling myself;
But I can deny myself for only so long.

I say all my terms in hypothetically speaking terms
For fear of sounding cocky or snobbish of some sort.
But now hypothetically becomes never.

Do you know that I cried over you?
Or that I wanted to curse your name but found I couldn't?
Do you know how much it hurts just to be by you,
When I know the truth of your heart, but can't get the lies from within mine?
Probably not.
I've worn my mask in front of you for far too long.
The moment I tried taking it off, you gave me reason to put it back on.

You've managed to destroy a song I had loved at first hearing,
All because it reminds me of you, of everything about you.
Thanks for ruining the one thing that makes me sane.

I can't really blame you, though.
You weren't the one who forced my mind to think the things it does.
Nor did you tell it to love you.

It's all my fault.

Just Want To Know

Since I’ll never know how it feels, I just want to know
How it feels to be wrapped up in your arms
How it feels to hear your voice echo through your body
How it feels to hear you whisper my name
How it feels to dance with you under the stars

Just let me feel it this once.
One time and I’ll never ask again.
Please don’t deny me this;
You’ve denied me everything else.

Just let me spend a warm summer night in your arms,
A winter bundled under your blankets
A spring sending flowers to the moon
A fall where nothing matters but me and you

Since I’ll never know how it feels, please, just let me know.

Wow! I haven't read this in a long time. All of your updates have been interesting and well written. I hope to read more soon.

Mystical Art

Show me a picture that describes how I feel
Let the paints melt and flow into an ocean of art
Allow the stroke of each brush to bring new life
Don’t allow the water droplets to destroy the painting
Let them run free, create their own image

Sing me a song that invades my heart and soul
Let your voice flow through my quivering body
Allow yourself to fall in love with the words
Don’t stop when there’s a mistake
Give life to it, create a new verse

Dance for me and bring me to that ecstasy
Let the music take control of your body
Allow your hair to hang free and loose
Don’t worry who is watching
Turn your thoughts from them

Hi there. I just discovered this thread, and I must say that I really like your poems. My favorite is Unknown Memory. Personally, I feel like you've been able to put into words what I feel. I also feel that I can relate to alot of what you've written.

Tranquility

When the rain falls down my window and darkens the sky
When the clouds above let no light inside
When the lightning strikes, my heart skips a beat

It’s like that with you

When you see me, I can’t believe it’s so
When you speak, my ears hear nothing but hope

I wish you could see, exactly what you do
I wish you knew, how you make me tremble and fall
I wish you would stop playing your games and tell me the truth

When the sun breaks through the clouds and shines into my eyes
When the birds come and call to one another
When the rainbow forms high above the sky, it makes me cry

It’s like that with you

When I’m alone without you here, I pine
When I’m standing besides you, I can’t understand why

I wish you could see, how my stomach twists
I wish you could understand, emotions are what I live for
I wish you were lost, surrounded by a mist

If only you could see, it would make my life easier
If only you knew, I could stop pretending
If only you could feel, my heart would never beat
If only you understood, it’s always like that with you

Brilliant. You have some wonderful imagery in this poem. And not only that but it's just so real.

Life was just beginning for you when the demon came into this world
You had such innocence, happy with your dolls
But soon the innocence was stolen from you
As was your family
Your father taken first by guns
Your mother from her hunger
And your sister, your last family was taken by the gas
How quick your innocence was taken

Five long years
You survived, but the pain will always be with you
Liberation, oh it should have come sooner
Lives would have been saved
Families would still be together
Innocence would have been saved
But the innocence was stolen the minute you stepped into Stutthof
