First archived poem \o/ I posted it in the poetry thread a while back.


While queueing at the butcher's yesterday,
wearing a "poncho" bought by me in France
but made in Mauritania, I felt
a soft hand tap my back. I swiftly glanced

over my shoulder; saw a lady there
in dull, drab, grey and shapeless western clothes,
with coffee-coloured skin, and jet-black hair.

Her right hand gestured, and her burnt lips moved,
to say that at the front, a place was free,
a butcher waited, knife upon the meat.
But in her eyes I seemed to read

a deeper meaning, burning through my mind
as my garment's tribal colours burned,
rich-woven, patterned, and in stripes aligned:

“Why do you mock”, her dark eyes seemed to ask
“the custom and the clothing of my kin?
For we, who live in exile far from home
no longer wear the fabric of our past.”

I nodded, and the butcher sliced my beef
and bound it tight with string. When I get home
I will release it, take its juicy meat,
And leave it in my house, a dull grey bone.

AW MANNNNNNNNNN! :O

Guys, I'm sure you asked for this thread - so please, post your poems here. The idea is that when you write a new poem you post it here as well, so there is a thread which archives all the poems that people here have produced. Also you can post your old work here if you wish. I will try and drag some of the poems out of the old "Poetry Thread" as well and put them in here. If you don't want this thread then that's fine, but someone proposed it in the suggestions thread and most people seemed to think it was a good idea.

*will delete this post once people start posting poems* =o

---------- Thanks Bee and Ai \o/------------

Yay :)

Heartless

Oh beloved Loveless
do you see what I am
my name is Heartless
will you be able to understand?

You of all people
know the pain of holding
one so dear to you
what have I to hold?

Physical pain will not compare
to the fresh scar within
it's not fair is it
having to carry a secluded mind.

Why does the knife carve
the heart burns when worn so
worn on the outside like the skin
delicate to a reckless touch

I am Heartless
take back what I brought
for it comes from nothing
this is regret not pride you see

The acts of hate
tore everything apart
both inside and out
until light itself vanished

To become Heartless
by one's own faults
perhaps you know the pain Loveless
of losing a precious gift
of turning
Heartless

Third Poem FTW!!!!

Eternally wandering soul of boundless sorrow
Walking a path which the ordinary fear to tread
Is it the sadness which makes the walker fearless
Or is it the knowledge that humanity in it's weakness is always vunerable

The path of which the walker wanders has no one name
It is merely known by the few names given to it by the intimidated
Purgatory, Hell, Evil, Pain
The wanderer blindly walks onwards ignoring these to seek his true goal

At times the path becomes difficult and treacherous to tred
Yet the wanderer merely bypasses these horrors
Bybassing these horrors the Wanderer is able to look ahead
Look ahead to the end of the path ahead

Although the wanderer is blind to naught but his goal
The path it'self seeks to distract and cause him to fail
Thus the wanderer stumbles across a pair of paths
One will lead to salvation, The other to eternal damnation

The wanderer is finally beat, Defeated he sits down and begins to weep
Light he feels a touch on his shoulder, Looking up he feels the warm rays of hope.
Hope which is the ultimate savior for the forgotten
Hope, The one true light of salvation

[BeeCrest]

Heroes
It hurts to breathe when the sorrow arises,
you want to become stronger so no one has to suffer,
but inerasable mistakes bring it all back.

Desperate but patient for redemption,
the battle has become yours alone to bear,
no one else has to choose to carry up your sin.

We scream because we are always lost,
it's too hard to find faith when eyes are open to pain,
so you fight because there's nothing to go back to,
find your place when heroes no longer shine.

Whether we feel the same or not,
you show no fear for those you love,
despite the breaking point of sanity is so close.

Desperate yet impatient for redemption,
I face the cold path with undying stubborness,
my shame will no longer get in the way.

We scream because we are always lost,
it's too hard to find faith when eyes are open to pain,
so fight when there's nothing to go back to,
find your place when heroes no longer shine.

River


Softly the whispers are echoing
Undisturbed, continuously flowing.
For the abandoned heart alone
Surpass that stepping stone.
Ripples that fade so slow
Evanescence, nothing to know.
Gentle bead, tiny drop
Eternally, never to stop.
Tears that are endless
Fallen, ever so painless.
Under the surface so clear
Broken wishes so far, so near.
Follow each turn and choice
Quiet trickles, silent voice.
Each breath into the night
Muffled weeping in the moonlight.
Reaching out, touch, simple heart
Shattered and bitterly torn apart.
Sweet but forbidden dreams
Vanishing away, with drifting streams.
Hope lingers, flowing to the end
Waiting, for no light, going around the bend.

my life, my story is always hellbound ,
stuck in the street lvin the life of crime, nver looked back cuz there never was a time
now just sittin here barely able to rite rhymes,
thinkn through mind tears ,
barely able think cuz of the blood and sweat in the past few years ,
never had a father figure, was always alone with only my middle finger,
always sayn f**the world , with my trigger finger,
never gave a f*** bout my enemies to busy fixn problem with homies,
always watched their heads raise while mine was stuck a purple haze,
gettn bored of everything i do thikn bout turnin back to a life crime , gettn ready to get a light roll a blunt
and chill and blaze,
then i think of of my life as crack fiend, never want that so i just sell to the dope fiends .

Fly High Angel

Things don't get in the way
With your attitude of fire
Eyes of strength and determination
Mask gentleness dormant in your heart
To reach above the storm clouds of the damare
You Fly High Angel
Flames of Hell beat the pace of wings
Hold close those you love to the warmth
The burning embers reflects the part of you that protects
There's nothing to lose when wielding fury
You don't let things get in your way
Cast aside hesitation in the wake of unleashed crime
When it happens there is only what you want
Fly High Angel

My poetry comp entry....I rather like it...

Death

Leaves drifting slowly and gracefully to the ground,
Blood dripping haltingly and flowing from the wound.
Like leaves returning to the earth from hence they came,
So does our lifeblood eventually return also

[Helikaon]

*Death in a Perspective*

In another Memory
In another Dream
I cant but think of what might of been
They talk of death as if they know what its all about
But i know that death like life is just another fight
When you see me coming in the endless night
You'll come to the conclusion that maybe they were right
Perhaps this world is just a cover for what is meant to be
Perhaps life is just another leaf falling from the Tree

*Empty Heart*

-

That pain in my heart,

That empty space

I wish to fill.

With your love,

I'll fill that place

-

My vision is clouded,

My thoughts are thick.

Of you I think nothing else,

My heart is ready for you to pick.

-

Take your bow ,

Take your arrow.

Cupid this trust in you I bestow,

Find my love in this painful world.

-

Ease this agony within my heart

Let us never to part.


*Love's Parting Pain*

-

Pain across this human heart,

This ticking time bomb yet to start.

This longing to see your precious face,

This longing for your sweet embrace.

-

We part with this closeness that we grew

These feelings that I share with you.

We knew that this could never be,

We were blind to what others see.

-

These feelings in which we're bind,

That corruption of the human mind.

-

That time bomb still yet to tick,

But I feel the pain that's yet to prick.

When you feel it, it is done,

It won't stop now it has begun.


*Forgotten Song*

That flicker in your eyes,

That loss of hope.

That pain you shelter

From my view.

-

You know this hope,

Is falling free.

Slipping from your grasp.

That pain in your eyes,

That loss of words.

-

Freedom alludes you

On every bend

The road is winding

Your will doesn't mend

-

Your giving in,

To that sweet embrace,

A life that is leaving without a trace.

-

Who will remember you,

When your gone.

Who will remember,

Your loving song.

-

The last drops of tears hit the ground,

That last memory is collapsing around.

This falling moment doesn't last long.

-

Your loving memory,

Your loving song,

Is now a whisper

On the wind.

-

A forgotten memory

A forgotten song.


*Fallen Heart*


Shattered Wings.

Broken Heart.

Tainted Sky,

Becomes another part,

Of this dream we call reality.

-

You fell from grace,

Up on a high.

With a brutal blow,

You fell from that sky.

-

Another angel fallen to earth,

Another soul lost in this dream.

-

Why did you fall into my heart,

Why did you decide to pull me apart.

This love just cannot be,

But my heart is blind,

It cannot see.

-

The truth to tell,

Is a bitter one.

You are from that deep blue sky,

I am from this world I defy.

-

This love was never meant to be,

How can i make my heart see.

That you are from a different place,

I am but a bitter disgrace.

-

One day you'll leave me,

One day you'll fly,

Back to that home in the sky.

You'll leave this man,

This disgrace,

A shattered burden in this place.

-

For I shall never forget your beautiful face.

Another shattered angel,

In my heart,

Another tear yet to start.



*Swordsmens Ballad*


Swords clash.
Sword to sword.
Minds clash
Mind to mind.

There was no fault,
that I could find.
This ongoing battle.
This ongoing dance.

That powerful fire in there eyes.
That swordsmens grace,
that i despise.

This battle is fought with daring will.
But should either faulter,
who's blood will spill?

This graceful dance.
Is nothing but,
a dance with death,
to prove a stance.

This swordsmens ballad,
Along this knife.
Is nothing but,
to live a life.

Why do you fight?
Why do you dance?
When death may come,
with a prance.

We prove our points,
with fruitless fights.
When we may solve this,
by reciting our rights.

Another battle.
Another time.
We fight this battle,
this fight is mine.

*Battles Last Breath*

Death stalks the ashes
of this firey battle field
where too many soldiers
have take there last breath

The memories of this place
fade with the wind
Neither side was victorious
neither could win

Both claimed the losses
were far too high
both claimed the battle
was but a puppets war

These men
The couragous knights
were wasting what life
on a pointless fight

The cause was lost
in the blood and tears
the losses were too high
the death was too strong in the air

The last man falls
with shattered grace
his tears of life
falling from his face

Why was his life
a continous battle
why was his life
a love lost war

The wind scatters
the ashes of this
pointlesss battle

The wind dries the tears
of these love lost hearts.

*Deaths Reign*

Silently the figure
Over looked the carnage
Of yet another battle
Yet another fight

These noble souls fighting a fight
that comes with the postion
of being a knight

They fight for what avail?
For feeding the ravens
Was never considered a cause.
Deaths door step comes closer

They fear to look into the opponents eyes
For what will they see?
The fear
The despair
The pain
That is mirrored in there own.
Deaths door step comes closer

What cause do they die for?
But one decided
by bickering nobles
ontop of blood stained thrones.
Deaths door step comes closer

The puppets war
will never end
aslong as those with power
will fight for pretend.
Deaths Door step is closer

The figure turns silently away
he grieves for the dead
that lost there lives that day
But he cannot take them
his door step is full.

For those that are lost
Will always be found
They will never rest
on that blood stained ground.

*Time*

Passing through us
we have yet to face
That reality
That leaves a trace

Of our existence
on this earth
Leave your mark
or be forgotten

In this flowing river
we call time
you face some melodies
that just dont Rhyme

Another pebble
in this river
will you make your splash
or float on by

Time is wasting
take your chance
to make your mark
while you can

For time is a river
floating free
Will you catch it?
or wait and see?


*Tear streaked heart*

The snow flows
through her hair
but what is that look
that look of despair

For her it seems
the tears never dry
lost in the familiar cold
of that deep dark ice

You wear that mask
that mask of ice
I know your acting
playing at nice

For i can see
right through to your core
Your heart is eroding
from that hole he tore

Ive come from a place
I know of that darkness
Your pain
Ive felt it
That stench of despair
Ive smelt it

It becomes clear to me
that this hole
Only i can mend
for it is my heart
to you that lend

I must give you my strength
I must give you my hand
for in this pain
Only i can understand

*Charades*

What is this charade
that we call life
Where people will act
while hiding a knife

The masks they wear
True feelings are rare
This game of life
who plays to win?

People play with others lives
The victims fighting to bare
A life that is too unfair
A continuous master
Behind the masks

This game of charades
Is pulling on strings
Those strings of emotions
Those strings of the heart

To fall into this game
this game of charades
Is to fall into a hole
Where one sucumbs and fades

To the puppets tune
do you dance?
A puppets game
Are you in its trance?

*Dying Heart, Forgotten Kingdom*

This shattered king
Sitting upon his broken throne
Sitting in a kingdom
That he swears is not his own

His sword rests beside him
and there it shall remain
For this kings future
is now filled with pain.

What happened to this mighy king
what happened to his throne
where once was filled with laughter
But now hes all alone

The battles that he fought
the hardships and the pain
this kingdoms might
will never be the same

This king sitting upon his throne
a last tear trickles down his cheek
for what drove his kingdom to this state
He shall never speak

He falls from his shattered throne
a memory in the rain
But what shall be left of him
One last heart filled with pain

*To the End*

Fighting against the current
this life
the next
shifting weight in a losing battle

Fight the waves
that pull you apart
the current is strong
but so is the heart

Courage is wavering
but i am there
ill hold your hand
because only i care

Ill fight this fight
by your side
your courage is mine
we'll fight this tide

Ill take those blows
they'll rip me in half
but nothing matters
because you have my heart

Ill gladly fall into aybss
id gladly die
for one last kiss

Nothing is everything
for you are my life
id gladly die
by your knife

*Lifes Fighters*

This dark man has his memories
this dark man has his tears
this plague of painful promises
show thoughout his years.

This mans seen the world
This world filled with pain
Where noone helps the needy
Unless they are to gain

A shadow fills the world
The needy are helpless but then who would?
A taint upon this world
A plague to all the good

The men that fight the darkness
have little on there side
for life seems to support the pain
Support the rising tide

But the fighters battle on
for what more can they take
there souls are already gone
there lifes already on the stake

*In your eyes*

I See your eyes
The deep dark stars
the ever changing pain
the ever blossoming love

The pain is real
Your eyes tell me all
those dark spectres of hope
the hope that life will change

I see you again
that hope is gone
your eyes are dull
stars covered by dark clouds

The hope is out
like a burning candle
the winds of life
have killed your flame

I look into your eyes
I will to change
to ignite that flame
to kill that pain

To fill that void
in your eyes
Ill give you hope
ill give you my heart

My love will change you
Ill change those eyes
ill kill that pain
ill ignite your flame

*This Thing We Call Love*

They fall for the one that has there heart
but indeed the pain is yet to start
Step into the deep abyss
mind over matter
heart over mind

Forget what you knew
there are many like you
all the same problem
Different in the pain

This pain those share
is sweet and sour
Only you can change it
only you have the power

Escape the abyss
hold onto that heart
the fear is real
it may tear you apart

The fear grips you
like a snake to your pain
Constricting and shifting
Twisting emotions with its fangs


But dont forget your never alone
I was with you at the start
Ill help you find your way back
Words, hands and heart

*Confessions of the Heart*

Feelings torn in the painful irony
words hit the heart like water to the flame
I hear your voice oh so faint
Your name upon my heart

Its pain sears through the skin
The soul is corrupted by your eyes
Seeking your heart to fight the taint
I feel your presence but ever so faint

Your words are daggers to the heart
It hits your concious like a blow
Fight your feelings or be torn apart
Loves submission a brutal wound

Take your wound and hide your scar
Pull the layers upon your heart
Kill the pain with masks of steel
Hide the wound from what others feel

Fight the tide or just let go
Question your feelings or submit to the flow
Hit the ground and land in a heap
Forgive your heart and take that leap

*Deaths gentle embrace*

Feel a life slipping by
The cracks of reality slipping into insanity
The breath of life that we hold so dear
falling from our arms like we all so fear

The heart beats oh so steady
but we ask ourselves are we ready?
To face the pain that comes with death
to watch your loved take one last breath

The pain hits you it always does
in waves of memories forgotten with time
Who will remember there loving soul
who will remember this persons heart

You ponder on this question now
will you be remembered when you fall?
To sink into the rich earth another name
or raise your arms and take the fame

In this life death is certain
but your path in life is never taken
Will you sink like all the rest
or take your fame like all the best

They say that when you die
take your wings soar to the sky
what regrets will you leave
Live life to the fullest is what i believe

*Come, Come, The future awaits.*

Time ever shifting, ever flowing
Pushing on you like the waves push at the shore
Slowly eroding the surface of your armour
Killing the shields of self potrayel

Flowing into you, sweeping you clean
Testing your soul, playing the mind
Shatter under the weight of lost mermories
Fall into the pit of hopes long gone

Dull the pain with the hope
Kill the truth with your lies
Pull your cover of self denial over your head
Believe that your safe, alone in your bed

The future is pitiless thats for sure
the future burns, if there is nothing worth fighting for
Wake up from your slumber, alone in your bed
Make something of yourself, before you are dead.


*Forgotten*

Memories follow
Shadows of a former life
Pain torments
A wound left from the knife

By and by the wind still blows
those memories stir
never faulter
never fade

The life once lived
When hearts were pure
but the taint has come
It will endure

Embrace those memories
When times were fun
Face the music
You cannot run

The pain is strong
The wound left from that dart
But never can you forget
That so is the heart

Never understimate the power of love


*Yesterday's Feelings*

Take the heart
the very feeling you bred
slowly yet surely crush it
take away the life

Fool is the word
described as me
were your words ever true
or are you just trying to flee

Pull your head back into a life secluded
shake away your feelings
cut off your ties
but im sure thats not the truth, in your eyes

I feel you forget the times long gone
when we would laugh or dance to a song
The trivial times
are what makes life worth living

But forsake me, yes that is the word
that pulls on my heart
Your feeling were they true?
or do i see another lie when i look at you

A fools dream did you share it?
a hope long lost, an age ago
Still subciously submerged
in the pain of yesterday's feelings

*Your light, My Plight*

Light in the darkness
The fire in my eyes
The angel from above
the gift of life

You took me from the darkness
giving me the light
Connecting our souls
you helped me give up the fight

You saved me from my pain
giving me your heart
i gave you my soul
We cannot part

I prayed to the gods
to send me an angel
blinded in the light
I was answered with you

I cannot say that words surffice
to tell you my feelings
would take an eternity
An eternity far too short

For everday with you is another day in bliss
You saved me from the darkness
Helping me to give up my fight
Another day with you, another in your light

*Fate so has me*

Fate so against me
Fight the tide of a losing war
Take into battle my rusty armour
As chipped and lifeless as it seems

The blood stains the armour
The memories of the past
Yet the blood is always fresh
for the wound is always fast

Ah but fate is always against me
So its shall always be
You trap me in your games
why can’t you set me free?

Take my armour it was always gone
My shields, my walls
You have me always
As the last blood drop falls

My wounds are fresh
And that’s how they shall stay
I will always be one of those,
That fate decides to play.

*Time lost, memories remain*

Down in shadows of the moonlight
At the lake of despair
sits the man time forgot
His past as long as his hair

He sits by the lake lost in thought
The memories of anguish before his eyes
that depicts a past
he has comes to despise

Time lost from his grasp
his age is gone
Forgotten in the past
though the memories remain

Looking back on it
the shadow of his former life
he has no regrets, no pain
Only emptiness does remain

Taking up his memories
taking up his life
his memories are what stop him
from taking up a knife


*Times Hurdles*

World is spinning
there is no winning
I fight my life to gain time
but time is always behind me

I try so hard but to keep up the pace
but the pace is harsh and i cant finish this race
Life is crumbling around me
Yet time never stops for anyone

I wish to spend all my moments with her
but instead i have to juggle time
I will to continue to love
but life tries to stop me

I wish i had a simple life
no worries no time
but then what would life be?
but simple to me

I wish to continue fighting
for that one special love
I want to keep changing
for the angel from above

Please give me the strength to will a life
to change ones destiny
to change ones soul
I fight this time for you.

*Memories Cloud the Soul*

Time flows around us,
Memories coming and going.
Ages never stay,
You mind should never stray.

Take me back to those places,
where memories were given birth.
The times worth remembering,
When all we felt was mirth.

Crying in the moonlight,
Memories take a turn.
find your inner peace,
Or all you will do is burn.

Memories cause suffering,
can you ease the pain?
Memories leave a taint,
that may forever stain.

Memories cause happines,
will they always remain?
Like those times we sat,
talking in the rain.

Never forget your memories,
hope they never die.
Replaced by the emptiness,
that makes you want to cry.

Memories are always with us,
tears will ever remain.
Good to the bad,
but time is still the same.

*Reality as thin as ice*

That thin ice
holding up your reality
just one slip from the edge
to tumble into hoplessness

Put your face on the ice
is it as cold as your heart?
is it as hollow as your life?
will it snap under pressure?

A crumbling reality
is like a crab in his shell
growing too big to ignore
yet too crushed to escape

You'll continue to wait on that edge
till your false hopes are cracking
your reason is slipping
your mind declining into despair

You take the fall
plummeting into the unknown
the edge was safe
but the future expected

where will you hit the ground?
your body collapsing under the weight
but time can heal such things
it is expected in your fate

*Wind blows*

Time stands still
One moment to the next
Light is close, burning bright
or is it hell just one step to the right

I see the corruption through dead eyes
times arnt changing yet it still just words
yet words can still have my soul
pulling on its strings with driven finality

Blood courses through these veins
but others see it as if it were tar
play there games of hope
when words are lost in the sudden reality

The cruelty in this world isnt changing
it just adapts to the times
there is no honest man
for man was never honest

Cut deep with a driven cause
or is it cause they are driven to cut deep
Pain isnt changing
causes arnt dying

Time never stood still for the "honest man"
only blew the winds of hope in his face
to give this man his life, a life such as it is to
continue to go on living in this world of corruption

*Music doesn’t sing, All I want is just one thing*

Ah to go back to the simple times
hatred never took its place
when time was nothing
but now all i ever do is look into space

Trying to piece together
the remenants of a forgotten time
trying to find my place in society
but the music doesnt rhyme

I never wanted it to be this way
running into the storm
but this never ending battle
is why i was born

You can only hope to fade away
to find another place
but is it always worth it
when all i see is your face

*A cry left in the dark*

Oh pity those fools
that fall on there face
when all they do
is take life as a race

Who can die quicker?
i wonder to my heart
Will it be me and myself
or my soul that is ripped apart?

Oh pity those fools
who trap themselves away
they pull themselves in
"I'll deal with it another day"

I dont know about you
but i am dead
In the sense that
my emotions stay locked in my head

Express your feelings
for that is why they are there
do not fear the thoughts
that you may share

For in the end
you just might ride
this journey called life
left on the side

*Raw… The Falling Moment*

This is maybe a weird poem i have no idea why i wrote it.. its certaintly a different style to my usual paced out style.. all i can think of to describe it as, is raw.. in every sense it captured my thoughts in rapid bursts.



Falling...
the feeling you get
when your world is ripped from beneath you
spiral is all you do.. the insanity reaches your mind

dont talk to me, im falling
dont put out your hand, its my pain
forget me im gone
ill see you at the bottom

but despite my cries
i feel that presence
your here? why did you..
you came? i said...

nothing matters you were lost
in the swirling darkness at the top
again i feel you
is it me? are you there..
am i forgotten? truely..

a sharp tug takes me out of that spiral
It is you.. you came
but why? i have nothing..
Your look says it all

Again im falling
but this time its not into the darkness
this time i fall into your eyes
i fall into you

raw emotions saved me
you came for me
when i had nothing for you
dont let me fall again..

*His Last Whisper*

I shimmer in the distance,
was perhaps what i was to her.
Fading and dying on the wind,
like others disapearing into dark reaches
of her troubled mind.

But no i cant take this,
to fade from reality to fantasy
and back again.
Oh but i do so wish to grip her,
shake these notions from her mind.

The reflection in her eyes,
is of pain within.
A fight to kill her memories,
past emotions that filled her.

What stops you? I ask
I get a stare of anguish,
Memories, I say, I know,
I Cant let you walk by and forget.

For she cannot die in my mind,
you've taken, but not without permission.
Ive given, but with purpose.
Ill never take back what I gave.
Nor will i ever let you go.

Words go unspoken, yet heard.
Memories are kept, and cherished.
No I cannot let you go...
For it is memories, feelings and fate,
that binds us, to reality.

"You give and take away
My heart will choose to stay"

*I Ran*

Ah yes i ran,
I admit it.
Pulled on my pack,
charged into the sun.

I sought freedom,
but the emptiness came.
I sought escape,
but you cant run from the past.

Running in the rain,
the snow,
the heat,
the wind.

I fear to fall,
when i run,
to fall is to
not get up again.

I didnt have to run,
didnt have to fall.
The obstacles catch you.
Time doesnt run,
It flies.

To run from it all,
I learned,
was to not get to the finish,
but to discover the start.

*Never Stopped..*

Times will change
but how can I?
Ive loved you for too long
through it all

Songs these days
remind me of you all the time
I didnt want to let you go
but fate isnt mine

I havnt stopped thinking
of what should of been
I havnt stopped dreaming
of the loss between

I didnt give up
i just gave in
but i guess to you
its all the same

I cant stop time
though i wish i could.
pull you back into my arms
take me back to the memories

No i cant stop time
i have no way to see the future
whatever it holds
im waiting

Im waiting for that change
that will bring you back to my arms
Im waiting for that forever
that never lasted.

*Tears*

Tears streak down his face
drowning the window to the soul
collapsing to his knee's
in this silent surrender

Grabbing the dirt in his hands
letting it slip through his fingers
he imagines this is how he is
to the wide world

The dirt on peoples shoes
stamped on by many
ignored by most
always stuck on the ground

Do i not feel like you? he screams.
am i not alive? i have a soul.
The blurs walk on by.
As the tears streak down his face.

He wants to drown in his tears
but not even fate is good enough to do that
He sits in his world
Alone

As he sits on the ground
he thinks how easy it would be
to end the tears
end the pain.

But thats not what tears are for
tears create new beginnings
He sticks out his hand
for fate to pick him up again

As the tears streak down his face

*Depths of Reality*

Reality
Choose your illusion
Its still there calling out
Ever so faintly

When you look into that lake
See the face of illusion staring at you
A droplet hits the water
Shimmering you see the hidden depths of reality

As fast as it comes it goes
Curiosity fills you
Do you take that dip
You might drown

Surface is so sweet
So pure and glittering
The depths so dark
And empty

Before you realize it
Something is pushing you towards that lake
Towards the dark depths of reality
To a fate unforeseen

You knew this would come
But not this quickly
Not now, your not ready
To sink or swim

In the depths of reality many drown
But in the illusion you’ll never see
The true light of this world
The true colours behind the darkness

*His Promise*

I promise you
Ill be there when the light is dim
I promise you
Ill be by your side when your time is thin

It doesn’t matter what they think
They can think what they will
For ill be always waiting
On top that hill

The hill you created
Made from men that lie
A hill of doubt
I will defiantly defy

Ill find you in your darkest hour
Ill kill your deepest fear
For all you shall remember
Is my voice in your ear

Those times of doubt are over
For now I am here
I promise you now
Forever I’ll be near

*Caged Animals*

Good
Evil
A struggle in the balance
yet man created this concept
was it man that bred it?

If the case was so
we are the ultimate evil
we are the ultimate good
yet the line blurs in society

times change
good replaces bad
bad replaces good
who decides?

Nature was never either
surival is the highest place
morally animals know there place
it is humans that lost it

Water in the grand scheme
is just a cycle
pure but polluted
forever flowing

forever seeking that ocean

*Love in the Grave*

We play this life like a rehearsal
pretending we dont see the puppets
like i see the people
dying in the streets

The dying is not of the body
but of the heart
a hope lost
love replaced by money

the kids play the game
but no more for the reason
the rhyme was lost
its time has been forgotten

but some still play for love
lest we play for nothing
for whats left when we die
left but an everlasting soul

if love was everlasting
then love exists
if souls were everlasting
then forget your money

Because death takes us all
but will it take your everything?
will it take your heart
and its ever lasting love

The world is in a rush
but why do we rush
when we have nothing to get to?
some believe we have nowhere to go

If we go somewhere
would you want that love?
perhaps love is everlasting
money can have my grave

[Katen Kyoukotsu]

Haha I can totally beat that.

Lawl..

Unintitled

Raindrops falling to the ground
Like my dreams drifting out of my life
Long ago i could look forward to the future
Now i just look back and remember

I remember the feel of the sand
And the smell of her hair
Whatever happened to love
Love that was sweet, pure and innocent

Wilting beneath the preasure of life
I smile at the load
It may be heavy but it's a burden well placed
And i am the only one who may carry it's load

[MaskedDrifter]

Mask

He walks upon the desert sands,
and in and out of mists.
He never stays in a place for long,
it is like he never exists.

The wanderer with a lonely life,
wears a mask upon his face.
He hides the pain and sorrow,
that came from another place.

All that you will ever see,
all of his face your sight will reap.
Is one deep blue eye,
eternally and forever deep.

He knows no love or happiness,
for it was never given to him.
He wanders throughout his life,
eternally sad and grim.

He walks upon the desert sands,
and in and out of mists.
He never stays in a place for long,
it is like he never exists.

I left home a while ago
I can't stand to be their
anymore

I can't take living my life in depression
My mom screaming
My dad drinking
My brother abusing me

I ran and I won't look back
Not now
Not ever

[athenaofstarlite]

These are a couple poems I've written over the past few days, sort of Bleach themed. If you're just hatin', please don't comment, but CRITIQUE is encouraged.

Hollow

Bleach this body of its sins
Break me free from this prison hell
Cleanse me of my lost emotion
And release me from this shell.

Let my soul rest finally down
After death, can I not rest?
I beg you, please, on hands and knees,
At last, let me be blessed.

With bated breath I wait for peace
So fresh, so rushing clear.
I’ll leave the foreign earth behind me
And plunge forward without a fear.


Bleach (this kinda a song, it has a chorus...)

Wipe it off
Wipe off the stain
This won’t last long
I’ll save you.

When you’re in danger
When you’re alone
Don’t worry, it won’t last long,
‘Cause I’ll save you.

You may’ve always saved me before
But this records gonna change.

Clean this slate
Erase this name
Bleach everything till we’re all even
And truly the same.

Love’s been hard
Love’s been ruling us both
And it may last long
Since I’m the one saving you.

Everything’s gone wrong
Everything’s been screwed up
I hope it won’t last long
And I’ll save you.

You may’ve always saved me before
But this records gonna change.

Clean this slate
Erase this name
Bleach everything till we’re all even
And truly the same.

Now you’re gone
Now you’re crying at night
And yet I know this won’t last long
Because I’m here to save you.

Although I’m already losing
Although I’m against the whole world
I’m still going to try
And I pray it won’t last long
So long as I’m going to save you.

Gone

I’ll spend my life running,
Trying not to look back.
I’ll try not to remember.
I’ll go ‘till I crack.

I may never enjoy
This life or the next
But I’ll always keep running;
It’s not all that complex.

My life is so simple
Yet seems so hard to understand,
When seen through you eyes.
It ain’t all that grand.

I’m never rooted down.
I’ll always be in motion.
Don’t try to hunt me down,
I’ll drift out on the ocean.

I’ll sail and I’ll swim
Far, far from the shore.
I’ll die or I’ll live.
I want nothing more

Than to roam, never settle,
Go on with this life,
To fight evil and win
And end all world’s strife.

A Sorrowful Memory Brightened by Hope

Memories of a time long lost,
Fading into the darkness of the soul.
The attraction I felt for you was real,
The way we moved was a timeless motion.

The way the wind moved through your hair,
The softness of your lips upon mine.
Taken away in a single instant,
Torn from my grasp vengefully.

Now all I have left is memories,
Memories that fade with the coming years.
The only thing I have left is the feeling,
That feeling one can call......

[A2k]

Untitled

Everlasting smiles of uncontrolled happiness,
Burning in the heart, and glowing in every breath;
A passion not rivalled by that of any beauty,
But the uplifting elation that sparks from the inner beauty,
And true feelings overflown by the deinty passion that burns wild when I look into your eyes; that, that alone could bring a tear to a longing heart,
To long for something and someone more special than a casual fling.
Something and someone worth smiling or shedding a tear for.
One tear in half a lifetime, a tear that fluttered with the warmth of a thousand suns as that indescribeable sensation, swept across me and drowned my heart.
For want of a love, something special was born on this night.
In truth;
Every breath I take, lingers on your lips,
and when we are apart I wonder why I am blessed,
for all my life, I deserve not one half of my happiness,
in the way I smile when I look into your eyes.
Not love, but;
A passion unbound, and limitless for true feelings in the way I ache to be close to you.
A moment of truth.
Me to you Terri.

And Still It Happens

By Terri Hoy

Theres something in the air tonight
And the things I say dont come out right
Your words make my head spin again
Could you ever be more than a friend?
I'm feeling so mixed up right now
I try to change but don't know how
These thoughts of you fill up my head
Because of everything Ive said,
And my emotions that are so unclear
Make me want to hold you near
But one thing stops me from loving you
I dont know if you want it too?
I try to tell you how I feel
But my courage runs away
I wish this hurt of mine would heal
'Cos I want you more each day
I want to put my mind at rest
'Cos I dont know what to do
And all I want to know is
do you feel the same way too?


.:Eternus Fidelis Amor:.

Should ever a blind man see,
Or a winter's rose, live through the snow,
Would not explain the happinss in me,
Or the love I need to show.
O'er brimming with elation.
Singing with exstatic joy,
Smiling tears wash away my frustration,
As I stare upon an Angel so coy.
A flustered heart titters with glee,
As I smile at you, smiling back at me.
This poet's pen, it cannot say,
In words, ink or imagery,
The way I feel for you each day,
Or how much you mean to me.
My heart goes crazy when you're not near,
But when you're in my arms it all drifts away,
My confession of Love brought me a tear,
Forever and always, in my heart you will stay.
I Truly Do, Love You.

Untitled

Delicate of touch, as though a fragile bud in the crisp hates of winter. Soft, silk, too scarce to let slip but once, too feared to indulge in passion's full desires. Like Hirché, each be savoured in the light of forevermore, should eternity come undone and last only but a moment.

Each passing brush, sends the world's axis in a reverse spin, racing heart, and heavey breaths swell the bossom, overflowing with emotion like a bath left to run. Even savouring every touch, leaves a heartfelt craving to hold on.

Exaltation in this feeling; bereft of nothing, alluring every cell within a being, draws forth a smile that curls more sweetly than a child's pleasant dream. Engaged within the shroud of an Angel's wings; covered and protected from the existence outside this spirtual embrace, stands a single tear of joy, that weeps from the bottom of a heart to the tips of the toes in a smiling soul.


Discomfort

For every touch, a shudder is born,
Unto the night a heart string is torn,
Creeping rapidly up and down the spine,
A touch so frail, yet exstatic is mine,
Pleasuring eyes and lips that ache to moan,
This stolen pleasure felt by you alone,
Writhing from senses and happiness too,
Comfort, I know is unsettled in you,
Like a teenage sweetheart your fears are mine,
In each smile, each gasp does the truth now shine,
Withheld from the comfort you fear to know,
Splinters me from the love I want to show,
You lay in the heavens most happilly,
Yet by your side you will not let me be,
Harrowing torment this causes to heart,
Yet circumstance made this known from the start,
This does not stop the tears I wish to shed,
As I lie with you, alone in your bed.


Angel Eyes

When the tears run dry and the eyes cease to burn,
After fretted fingers have long since finished tearing at ghosts in the dark,

A sense of emptiness where once pleasant thoughts filled the gap,
A hole errupts in you, taking away a part of your daily routine,
A sense of excitement and longing, vanish in an instant, rippling the fabric of life,

When there's no energy left to fight and nothing left to fight for,
The anguish strips down the person to nothing but a soul,
Emotion drained, heart lost to Love held by Angel eyes,
The fight carries on, in mind, body and soul,
But that heart is forever kept safe from harm in the heart of an Angel.

Rebirth

Love; like a knave is speared with it's irony,
Dripping with malcontempt and sin alike,
In Loving, one can Love only that which one wouldst chose to Love,
Whilst in Loving graces a Love's tenderness is easilly lost
Foul folly to those who's undenied nuances will strive to break,
The bonds of ties too secured to measure.
Now tangled with the ghosts of the future's past and tomorrow's yetserday,

There is no greater mockery of such truths, than the truth which we lay.
Here before my paths unwinding, like a labyrinth in Escher's world
Lies the serpents head, a hiss to tell of truths unknown,
And sacred kept in one's heart of hearts forever under lock and key,
Chained inside for an eternity and undone in an instant.
When Loving ghosts wreak turmoil in a life subsided,
The whispers on a wind, creep eerilly from within.

Chastised by the person who dances like the puppet on a string,
To cut ropes and burn the good in which you live, to bring about the rise
Of a sycohpant whose purpose is only that which one wouldst desire,
Writhing in the midst of such loyalties of a genuine being, laid to rest.
These admirable chains of character, tangle and entwine,
Until shattered, the chains do crumble link by link, eroding away a life.
Such chains; self constructed, and nourished in the idea that all goodness is repaid,

A laughable retort in the scattered dusts of time,
When a rusty world opens it's eyes to see a blackened state of light,
Darkened to a life without knowledge of a truth to live.
Such casualties of character amidst a turmoil of confusion, spurns a truth best hidden,

By these words in peace and calm, a claim to nevermore be an honest beggar,
But a rich man in lies and deciet, wrought with the vengence of a thousand suns,
To hold high the conquests conquered through such indesciminate lies and lack of loyalties.
When the good will die and the evil prosper, so too should an Angel watch;
That when a saintly sinner should endeavour to live, so be ashamed to die.

A Rhythm In The Soul

Beneath a jaded shade of branches,
With a silver-white night light aglow,
A musician rests his eyes.
Asleep under the coalsnuffed quilt of night,
Or seeing the melodies of a "Titulus" life;
Dancing gayly through his tranquil mind.
A star-speckled mirror of outter space,
Frozen like a moment in time, at his feet,
No sound to break the sweet silence.
Without a movement the musician sways,
Dancing with his heart and soul to silent music,
Lifted by the spirit of the rhythm.
When the silence turns to stir,
And the mirror frets to shatter,
As the melody fades softly away;
A note so gracefull twinges delicately in the heart,
As the music grabs the soul and sends it sky high,
As a new song starts to flow.
With rested eyes or sleepy dreams,
He lay still, swaying fluidly through his dance,
With nothing but the music in his step.

The Right Wrong

Like bolted doors of castle towers;
a seal, strengthened to remain unmoved,
Is slashed and torn, and picked apart,

Leaving senses bobbing in open waters.
now trapped between the 'right' and 'wrong',
these choices swirl through the chaos.

Let slip the moral fibre that keeps a man afloat,
but shoot him down if he should choose to live,
and scorn the scars of wounds refreshed,

By heavey handed words, and thoughts of happiness.
Through these eyes the world is seen, but from this heart,
the world has fallen, crushed beneath the sword.

The choice; to once more risk everything, lulls in the night,
overshadowed with fear,
Whilst clocks tick and whir as time runs away.

A single risk is a challenge to be met, the same risk over;
is a terrifying decision to live and flourish, or
die and cease to ever be once more.

A gamble in life; snake eyes and the house wins,
Don't roll and you lose.

The Right Wrong (Edit: II)

Torn between the fear of rebelling against everything you believe in,
for a dice roll on something you desire;
or standing tall with your head held high at having strengthened the bonds of your well guided morals, and rejected a high stakes gamble for happiness in the blink of an eye.

To comprehend such a devastating fork in your ever-onward journey; can slow the wheels of your merry stroll, to a grinding halt.

Questions burning forever in the back of your mind as to what if I had travelled the other road.

So now, I ask you, which path will you walk?


Untitled

Honest truths whispered on nimble winds,
freeze a soul to the core as thoughts flutter by;
to cherish hearts, world's apart on planes of co-existence.

When torment rages in showered bursts of lost hopes,
and you run, scared of hopes to light another day,
embraced in arms of trecherous desires to ponder how the curtain falls?

Around the jostle, paths unwind, picked by audiences close to heart,
to walk a path by random choice leads astray a wandering soul;
lost to the signs of criss-crossing choices, a man should stand and wonder.

Thrust once more into a world that waits for no one,
a lost soul haunts a grave in craddled adoration,
to rise with new life and take hold with both hands, the reigns;
for a flight to a place beyond an enlightened smile.

To love or lose on gambles played and hands won and lost,
sets apart a fleeting desire from a burdening passion. In barren truth;
a heart sold, priceless to any other, seals a deal for better or worse.

Forever caught in cycles of paradox to live and not regret a measured song,
or clash and sprawl for chances on lost lives.

Drenched in Fear

Too little?

Too late?

Too little, too late? That which was better left unsaid;

Spoke yearns of truth, to be hushed through paralysed nerves.

To speak in muted voices, that crash against the silence of the night,

Blooms rotten fruits with the morning dew and sun's golden climb.

When dawn breaks and life shuts it's eyes to rest, voices strong;
sing merry words that crack a smile upon 'any a man's face',
the chords be struck and the melodies echo on, but these voices,
are hollow.

Forever engraved upon the tomb a curse mark never to be broken.
One lock, one key, one twist to open the door.


Lost Piece

For the years gone, a heart begins to heal,
Only to crack and break in a mere moments' weakness,
Tumbling softly; the shattered shards, crumble in tatters
Into dusty piles of past lives.

Now an emptiness dawns heavilly on a spirited soul,
As daylight fades, and time slips away.

O'erbrimming with emotions sealed under lock and key,
A barren and vaccant heart pines desperately with silent tears,
Withering away from the outside in; a flickering flame dwindles,
Keeping the light of life glimmering, against a dark nights' sky.

"My heart, it...cannot possibly break...when it wasn't even whole to start with."
