I'm glad you liked it so much, Lee.

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.

Dark, but good

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.

Stormdancer · 05-02-2005, 08:47 AM

Brilliant Reas. I just hope that you won't really kill yourselve. To much of a good friend.

Makani · 05-03-2005, 09:57 PM

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.

Leeness · 05-03-2005, 11:07 PM

Oh ma gawsh i have missed like a million of them

Makani · 05-07-2005, 04:00 PM

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.

ShadowThestral · 05-07-2005, 04:23 PM

wow, they are really really good

Makani · 05-08-2005, 06:05 PM

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

Leeness · 05-10-2005, 07:30 AM

awww so cute yet the meqaning behind it is so sad

keep up the good work anyway Trixie

Stormdancer · 05-11-2005, 06:14 PM

I agree with Lee. You are talented and these are fantastic. They are heart renching. (is that spelt right?)

Makani · 05-12-2005, 05:35 AM

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.”

Makani · 05-12-2005, 09:31 PM

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?

Stormdancer · 05-12-2005, 09:41 PM

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

~*Toria*~

Laieesha · 05-13-2005, 04:57 AM

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!

Makani · 05-17-2005, 11:41 PM

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.

Leeness · 05-18-2005, 07:23 AM

opps havent checked in in a while. I loved all three of them

they are sooooo brilliant Mz Talented Trixie

Makani · 05-21-2005, 11:37 PM

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

Leeness · 05-22-2005, 12:01 AM

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

Makani · 05-22-2005, 02:50 AM

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.
