The Poetry Thread

[InnocentBetrayal]

I know a few people who write on these boards, so i figgured, why not make a poetry thread? So basically this is a thread where you can just post poetry, read it, and maybe comment on it. Any style is welcome, freestyle, rhyming, etc.. Please post appropriately :D

I'll start off, this the the first poem i ever wrote. I wrote this poem when i heard that my grandma was going to die.



I feel it again
I can sense it
A death among us
Not just one
But two
A life so fragile
It is gone in an instant
With nothing left
But memories of last words
Hold your breath
For just a second
Can you feel it
Crawling deep within you
It's death
But its not your time
You still feel it
It will never go away
Even when you’re gone
Still longing for a purpose
Sometimes slow
Sometimes fast
Everyday another is gone
And yet another is born
Life never ending
The wheel never stopping
Is it truly a sense?
Or more of a feeling
Know that death and life
Are around us all the time
My heart is still beating
But barely
It will soon be my time
Last seconds of air
Last view of this
Some can’t take it
Some live for it
My time is growing near
My body slowly freezing
Tears fall down my face
One last look
Shut my eyes
I know now why I live
But it all must end
Death

Xbox Love


If I stay mute I might just go insane
It's hard to know exactly what to say
This love I feel is like a hurricane
You know, it's really blowing me away.


Such joy struck me and I fell at your feet
Controller in my hand you sprung the trap
To play your games made me want to compete
Rock Band and G T A became a snap.


Fable, Ratchet and Clank, then Mass Effect
Halo, Skate 2, and more relieves my stress
Running from zombies I quickly detect
Laughing with friends makes life much less a mess.


Sweet Valentine's day would this be for me
If I could play Xbox eternally.

Ratchet and Clank

wtf kind of xbox are you playin?

[rowtheboat]

A man had had far too much to drink
Now I must go home he began to think
He tried to stand up and fell to the floor
So he decided to crawl out of the door
Then after a little fresh air he tried again
But he fell face down in the drain again
“I will never get up” to himself he said
I won’t try again I’ll crawl home instead
His wife found him on the step asleep
“I went for a drink” he said like a sheep
“And I know what made you crawl so far
Your wheelchair's still in the public bar”

O.o well i was thinking something more serious, but yea, i guess that could work :p :D

[athenahollow]

I haven't written in many years, but here's one of the LEAST disturbing poems I wrote in the past.

war's lost

i can't stand to see it
makes me sick
all this death for politics
rarely a good cause
lost all reason and demeanor
just for a vote
we declare we need blood
our never ending search
for wealth
and greatness
power abused
people used
lives stolen,
so young, so proud
dead.
For what?
for a place among this
so-called great nation?
we stole this land
we keep this land
but we fight all else's battles
we interfere so we might not be rejected
or dejected
from the rest of the world
we use wars to gain popularity
it's almost like highschool
the jocks, the army
but i'm just one person
what can i do?
i sit around and watch
with their hatred towards all
being misconstrued.

[Tinykoko]

Agreed. I just wrote a 4 page paper on how I cant write (poetry or otherwise) unless I'm angry or upset. It's really sarcastic and awesome. :D

[schmeankman]

well, you walked that valley's grassy floor and climbed that hilly ridge

you stood there naked stung with fear and tippy-toed on the edge

well, you swung on a vine, you crawled in the dirt and made the river your best friend

you ate ev'rything from a skunk to perch and filled me up with Zen



well, you went to acapella and you sang Acapulco, danced on a coin

you tied six Mexicans up in chains, then hitch-hiked to Des Moines

you put the tube in the tub when you joined a club, and took the soles off your shoes

but, baby, there's one thing you forgot to do



you got to love me

more than the trees and stars high above me

you got to love me,

love me,

love me all the time,

if you wanna be mine




well, you turned my pockets inside out and my inside upside down

took fourteen reds and shaved your head and let a semi run you down

you filed your teeth and chromed your feet, shot a fifteen under par

prayed thirteen days in eighteen ways then gurued in a bar



well you slipped me a Mickey and you read James Dickey, drank up all my wine

you did all that then drowned a bat and bought a Wurlitzer on time

you ate barbecued stork with a spoon and a fork in a second-hand fun'ral plot,

but baby, there's one thing that you forgot



you got to love me

more than the trees and stars high above me

you got to love me,

love me,

love me all the time,

if you want to be mine


I've been alone a long time now, and it seems like forever
It's not that I wanna be
it's just that all them things in there, together - bother me
guess it's culture
ahhhhhhhh
if you'd only come back
figure this thing out
I guess it keeps going on here
I'm runnin' outta breath, death...

you got to love me

more than the trees and stars high above me

you got to love me,

love me,

love me all the time...

Yuppers. OMD's.


This one though, I really wrote:


Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah)
Uhraah!
Bass!

Ooh White, White
Ooh White, White
Ooh White, White

(Ooh White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin’ through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High price) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin to gain except killin’ your brain

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
(Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang
Diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang

(Pipeline) pure as the driven snow
(Connected to my mind) and now I'm havin’ fun, baby!
(High price) it's getting kinda low
(Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one, baby!
(Don't let it blow your mind away) Baby!
(And go into your little hideaway ‘cause white lines blow away)
(Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

A million magic crystals, painted pure and white
A multi-million dollars almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar, twice as bitter as salt
And if you get hooked, baby, it's nobody else's fault, so don't do it!

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! (Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
And don't ever come down! (Freebase!)

(Don’t you get too high) don’t you get too high baby!
(Turns you on) you really turn me on and on
('Cause you gotta come down) my temperature is risin’
(When the thrill is gone) no, I don’t want you to go

A street kid gets arrested, gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught with 24 kilos
He’s out on bail and out of jail
And that’s the way it goes
Raah!

(Kane! Sugar! Kane! Sugar! Kane!)

Athletes rejected, governerds corrected
Gangsters, thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided
The women get excited
Now I’m broke and it’s no joke
It’s hard as hell to fight it, don’t buy it!

(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)
Raah! (Blow!)

(Ahhh) Get higher, baby
(Ahhh) Get higher, girl!
(Ahhh) Get higher, baby!
C’mon!
Raah!

(White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin’ through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High price) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see, the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along, but white lines blow away)

Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner
With no shoes and clothes
This aint funny, but he took his money
And sniffed it up his nose

(Hey man, you wanna cop some blow?)
(Sure, what you got, dust, flakes or rocks?)
(I got China White, Mother of Pearl, Ivory Flake, What you need?)
(Well yeah, well let me check it out man, just let me get a freeze)
(Go ahead man, stuff I got should kill ya!)
(Yeah man th-that’s that’s raw, wuh)

(Freeze! Haha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!
Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)

Ain't I Angie?

[Demyx-XIII]

I love poetry that doesn't rhyme. Writing poetry has really helped me out in the past when I'm depressed. It lets you take the emotions and turn them into something beautiful. Although I'm not too fond of "humorous" poetry that rhymes. It defeats my purpose for writing, anyway. I'd share my own work, but it's really about dark, personal stuff that I'm not comfortable talking about here. Instead I will post a little haiku about... well, haikus. It not that worth reading, but I came up with it in twenty seconds. :D

The language Haiku
One must follow the pattern:
Five, seven, then five.

[Demyx-XIII]

Agreed. I just wrote a 4 page paper on how I cant write (poetry or otherwise) unless I'm angry or upset. It's really sarcastic and awesome. :D

Same here.

[FlameSama1]

Supernova:
In the darkness, I stumble to my feet. I struggle up, but once I stand, I can walk away from my troubles. She guides me now and helps give me a reason to keep my way. One single ray of hope in this life. And without it I am nothing. Now that light is being threatened. The only thing keeping my path of life light for eyes to see might leave me. This star may be changed or dimmed and diminished beyond my recognition. I fight back all this emotion, this urge to jump and to grab her-keep her in my grasp. To feel myself slip back into my darkness and her into hers is indescribable. How badly I want to retrieve this star from unforgiving sky and fade away, into a land where we can stay. Her, the star, and me, the one gazing at her everyday. No transgressions and misery. I envision just us in the single universe, wherever we may roam.



Black Wings:
This succubus wears a cloak of black,
Her eyes as dark as the depths,
Of this old soul’s lonely heart.
With a beauty so stunning,
A being of the finest glass,
Her body a work of art.
Taking my bitter angry hand,
She guides me into hell,
And makes me promises of gold.
This archangel takes me to the grave,
Shows me the dirt I’ll lay down on,
And sleep when I turn to mold.
This demoness drags me from my schism,
And promises me the solace I need,
As if in a vision or a dream.
The seraph and her black wings,
Were nothing but a god-sent mirage
Premonition of death it would seem.
For I awake in the cemetery,
And turn my head and wonder,
“Has my angel gone away?”
Perhaps it was too early,
And she’ll come back again,
And help me fade to gray.



No Master:
Fire cannot be controlled-only unleashed. Some are convinced that a blaze only does what they want it to do. But guess what? The slave becomes the master. Some are lucky enough to survive; others are engulfed by its might. So guess what? You are no master of puppets, fire cuts the strings. So tread lightly, or you may fall prey to fire’s awesome power.


And some lyrics,

Pleasure In Pain:
Wake up in the morning,
They pull from me from my cell,
I smirk in my own delight,
Today I go to hell.

Grab me by the hair and lead me,
Down a dingy prison hall,
They read me my last rites,
I still say screw ‘em all.

Close me down and push me around,
They lead me into a church’s pew,
Reading their Big Book full of lies.
Tell me about salvation while I spit on you.

I don’t have hope for my redemption,
Damned if I am, better let it be.
Riding the lightening, resting my head.
Either way puts an end to me.

They told me ‘Boy, you have a choice.
Between the chair, the needle and life’,
Because I stabbed a daughter, murdered a son,
I killed a man and slaughtered his wife.

I told them ‘Whatever makes me hurt most.’
They’ll flip the switch and ready the choir,
Billion volts stormin’ in my head
I’ll make my way to heaven’s spire.

Climb the stairs and hold the rail,
Because I want to hear St. Peter say,
‘You sinned all your natural life’,
I’ll laugh going the ‘other way’.

Into the pit of flames I go,
Satan laughing spread his wings,
Whips and chains, ‘Maidens and steel,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Blackened Sabbath, demonic pain,
Smoke and fire ‘round for all to see,
I don’t know about all you vermin,
But hell is definitely the place for me!

No hope for me in this life,
They see my death is for the best,
Been evil from age thirteen,
People see me as more of a pest…

I tend to beg to differ really,
I orphaned children and widowed wives.
I stole from all to please my self.
I put fear into people’s lives.

I was just a little kid,
World turned its back on me,
Stab a knife into their eyes,
Through the blood I’ll make ‘em see.

After a few years law caught me,
And in Devil’s Island I made my home,
They chained me up with reason,
I’m too dangerous to let roam.

The leather straps me to my throne,
The sponge and electric crown adorn me head,
The executioner dons his black mask,
Finally I’ll be dead.

Into the pit of flames I go,
Satan laughing spread his wings,
Whips and chains, ‘Maidens and steel,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Blackened Sabbath, demonic pain,
Smoke and fire ‘round for all to see,
I don’t know about all you vermin,
But hell is definitely the place for me!

You may not see past the reflection
Of the layers of the eye
You are whom you chose
Down your own path
You chose the broken path
You chose the steep hill
You chose the weaving and winding roads
You chose the one most feared
But the body is whole
The mind is rambled but set
Set on a choice
Most don’t know or make
At this age you see
You found what you were looking for
As has another
You detach from ONE
Layer by layer
Secret sealed lips unsewn
Kindness is an understatement
Humor is a symphony of words
Love like a soft lullaby
Softly caressing ears
Perfection viewed by naked blue eyes
Kisses whisper greetings of radiance
The scent of undying lust
Voice of a pure heart
Sounds of repetitious introductions

Live the way you know
Ocean of dreams
Valley of hope
Endlessly for Y.O.U.
