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. |
One of my more ... sadistic pieces. My World Welcome to my masked world Where lies and truth are the same Come, join our dance No one will judge you No one will find you, Stealing you from this paradise You belong here Just as every living creature does A paradise for the world An evil disguised by hallucinations No one will ever know my secret They are too consumed by their desire for life Just as I am haunted by my desire for death Welcome to my magical world Where creatures of myth are alive Come, fly with me to the stars It’s only an extension to my world The stars are balls of hopes and dreams Taken and locked away for centuries to come Who needs them when in paradise? You have everything you could ever want Release your hopes and dreams to the night sky Let them light up my heaven Don’t worry about what happens next It’s a surprise I can’t ruin You’ll find your grave soon enough |
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. |
Not Meant To Be What’s going on? What’s happening to me? I haven’t been able this inspired to write since Charlie. It scares me to think that you’ll be just like Him. It makes me cry tears to think I’ll die alone. Ever since I thought about that age, I’ve been holding back tears. Friends or husband, will I have either? I think I will not and It will be my sorrow that drowns me in the end. You’ll have someone there beside you. Your God will bless you both and Take you together to live in his kingdom. I’ll watch you from h_ll, wishing I was her. I’ll think back to what I did wrong and How our lives could have been so different. Maybe if I become someone I’m not, you might love me But even then, you would have the heart to deny me And watch my black heart crumble and freeze. Sometimes I wonder if we really are so different. You play your mind games just as I do. But you know when to be you and when to be a mask. I’m still learning; my mistakes being my tutor. Lord only knows if I’ll ever learn the lesson I desire. Fates place bets and hope for my failure. It’s our difference that keeps us apart, and of course, my arrogance. I was so determine to protect you, I never bothered thinking of the consequences of my actions. A bad habit of mine; I’ve apologized many times. I wonder … do you trust me? Would you give me a secret to hold and lock away? Or have I not earned that right? I can wish, hope, dream and even change myself for you, But the Gods have something else planned for us. You can’t say I didn’t try. |
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. - Angel |
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 In memory of Dorotka Goldstein |
It's Okay Is it wrong that I feel so different? Is it wrong that I feel out of place? It was one simple act, nothing more than that, But I was the one who got the jitters and bit back . Is it wrong that I fled and yelled? Is it wrong that I made it obvious? I embarrassed myself and probably him as well, But could he blame me once he knew the truth? Is it horrible that I felt watched? Is it horrible that I was paranoid? Maybe it was just a stupid, girlish feeling, But it seemed right to me. Is it good that I was able to tell him in moments? Is it good that I was allowed to crawl into his arms? Everyone else stared and shook their head, But he coaxed me and kissed me gently. Is it stupid of me to think I screwed up? Is it stupid of me to think I did wrong? I did nothing except what I was comfortable with, But not everyone shares my views. That's okay, though. He'll always be there for me, no matter what. My fears and worries can't hurt me anymore. He's there to push them back into darkness. |
