Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[Jedi Gemstone]

Wow this should be the 1000 post!!! ^_^ I wrote this new poem, been working on it for ages with a bit of advice from knight fairy.

Mirror Girl

I stare into my mirror
Surprised to see my state
A small girl vanquished and shoved by on the earth
Is that really what the bullys do?
Yet surely what I see
Can't really be me
Its just the mirror girl

She used to be pretty like me
We used to giggle along
Now my bestest friend she just sulks
She shares my troubles and blues

I see a reflection in a car window
As I battle on
She always used to grin with me
As reflection she follows me wherever shadows shine
She understands about me and this cozmos

Another forlorn day at school
Just me seeming to be alone
More Violence
They all call us fools
Acting like me, she never says anything to them
I see her in a nearby window
Her mouth opens but is voiceless
My mouth opens and wails of hidden agony
Beatings and hard times bullys endure

I struggle home alone
She pops up by cars
Shes my only friend, my only best friend
Her silence might not help much
But the meaning in her eyes is enough to get me through
Those deep dark understanding eyes of hers
They lead me to her soul to places I relate
Thats her in the mirroring echo, my mirror girl.

hope you guys like it.

*Eye twitches at [Arcane]*
I will kindly like to state that I take pride in my grammar skills. I believe that they are far more advanced than many other fourteen year olds out there... And my poem structure is that there is no structure. It's very abstract, like me. ^_^

Complete freestyle. That's the way uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Your 14 White Raven?? Me too!!!
Heres my latest poem I've just finished-

The Dragon

Once a wonderful creature
Met the fate of his days
When seasons changed from autumn to winter
The dragon elegantly graced the lands
Delicately grasping rocks for survival
Winter breezes swiftly blow harshly

The beast stooped over the crusty rock
The ice touched his back and took over
By command of the frozen equinox
Icicles cling to his jaw

There sits the fiend
Frozen in the midst of time
Staying dormant
Its yellow eyes crystal clear
Staring towards the descended giver of light
It’s arched over pitiless rocks
Its gray scales gravely gleam in the chill
The rigid spikes upon its back stand elite
His tail damp below the snow
Its claws unite with the rocky terrain
And its feet obscured under the frostiness

Once a sublime creature
Wandered his days so celestially
Not expecting winter to arrive
Now lost in the mountains
A monument to its kind standing there
Frozen in his time.

hope you all like it

you're both 14

i thought i was the youngest here

well, here something that i've been thinking about for a while, with all the peer presure and "trends" that must be followed, i think it's just a fucking joke what we're meant to do in other peoples eyes.

Meaning of Life

Everybody hunts for something they can't get
strives for something they can't achieve
my only question is, just why can't they see?
hat they don't need to best, to be the most reconized
they don't need to the greatest, to be imortalized

It just seems that every moment in life
that you strive for something that you can see and can't find
but if your heart is set and mind is focused
then all you need to do is reach out and take it for yourself
if you're goals are set straight, then you can always fly to them

Because it is not your future that brought you here
it is your past
and though you can lie and hide, does your past ever change?
does it matter what others say, when you follow your dreams?
they don't know what you're searching for and that's why you'll suceed

The only thing to remember in life
is that there is no control over what you do
no-one has any say about who you are, you are yourself
and that's all you can ever be, so don't be anyone else
but youself

[White Raven]

After much deliberation and thought, and many nights of coming to a conclusion --

The meaning of life is '2'.

[ryan]

:Up:

[EnDurA]

*ponders aimlessly*

[White Raven]

The meaning of life is 2. If you think about it, it makes sense. ^_^

[EnDurA]

?? stil don't get, something to keep awake tonight i'm sure. well, my version is that either our primative ceribros (sp?) can't comprehend the meaning of life, or we make our own "meaing of life", in which case it is more like a destiny or fate. though i throughly hate the idea of fate. anyway, more poems...

[Jedi Gemstone]

very good poem endura

[EnDurA]

thanks jedi, im pretty dam rusty after months of exams, assignments and stress counciling . thank god teh holidays are here

[Jedi Gemstone]

Jedi gots another poem

Goddess of Nothing

A tall figure
seen escorting the world
Black forth flowing clothes
Cladden in silver rags
This is her the goddes of nothing

Her flowing hair
Like a shimmering flowing river
Rocks of pearl essence hidden beneath
This beaufitul creature of the earth
The charmer of annihilation

Her eyes
Deep and glowing
Shimmer in the sunlight
The colour of lilac flowers
the pupil leads deep into her soul
Or so I have been told
Still wandering the divinity of oblivion

The goddess of nothing
Still nothing
Always nothing
She never rules anything in particular
Just things as she passes them by

Her vexations tick away in her mind
Like sand slippin throught fingers of time
The beautiful woman of the earth
Bound to the cozmos by her symbolization of emptiness
She still remains lost in her time
Nothing.

enjoy it

Shadows in the Light by Lee

Shine a light deep into this midnight shade
So we may discover shattered mirrors
Dark pieces, reflections of our charades

And though we will deny
Our hearts and souls know the difference
Between the truth and our self-deluding lies

Umbras lengthening to the end of day
Only in the dark, absolute
Do they seem to fade away

There is only One wholly made of light
Even His Son had pain and doubt
In an ancient spring night

Put the Golden Rule to the test
The Domino, Butterfly Wing Effect
Touch one, you touch all the rest

Not here to change your life
Not me
Don't want you to change mine
No need
Expose the secrets
Let hearts bleed
Illuminate, let us see
Our shadows in the light

[EnDurA]

*drools over Arcanes great poem*

i like that one, great stuff

[Magic_Midget]

*gives endurA a towel*

[Magic_Midget]

This is probably my most disturbing poem so far...inspired by the movie From Hell and Max Payne
_____________________________
Red Dreams by Lee

As I lay my head to rest for the night,
Eyes closing, the stars fading away,
Drifting in deep thought, turning off the light.

-----------------------------------

Awoken, by the screams coming down the hall,
The floor beneath my feet, soaked in blood,
And the hand prints etched into the wall.

Follow, the path to where the wails are coming from,
It grows louder, the blood covers up to my knees,
But I cannot find out whence it comes.

Tasting, the sickly putrid smell of death in the air,
The red rises higher to my neck to where I'm swimming in it,
I believe I have ended up in Satan's hellish lair.

All around the cloister, the walls are lined with the dead,
But why am I dreaming this horror,
This has to be all in my head.

I climb out of the river of blood, Styx,
The smell gets worse, I puke
At what I saw, my wife on the crucifix.

Roaring from the nearby outlet,
Rushing corridors, the dead in their blood,
All I could think of was ...oh shit...

Smashed awake by the oncoming rush,
Reality took place and I was coughing up gobs,
My breath grew in hoarse beats, then all was a hush....

[Jedi Gemstone]

Cool poems Arcane Whos your lil apprentice though?
heres a new poem I came up with-

Memorys

I dwell on that night
Wind howling and blustring outside
I found out we was history
You think and feel alone undesirable to me
But your never alone are you?
never never never
I lie in a vitiate mess
Wondering where our existence had flown to
It was all like a dream
I was a lost in a veil of insight
I had to be or so I expected
I obliterated what truth was.

Whats real?
Us not being together
Thats real
Why did you leave me?
You wont tell me, you dont know
But you must do
Answers are never forgotten
Just not visible to human eyes
The answer is always there
Deep down you know they are
Just resemble, it will be there

You mislead me all the time
You dont know why you left me
But i know you do
Only you grasp the answers
In the darkest corner of your mind
Just because those reaons you cant face
You reject the answer
You reject our memorys
You tried to erase them
But they are always there
Nothings ever forgotten
The answer is there
But your too tired to remember
Too tired, too tired, too tired

I feel hurt and lost
In an emotional maze
Except this time
Your not here to save me
Lost here forever
Till the end of dawning time
Your heart will always be in mine
Unable to let go
Your heart will always be in mine.

enjoy it

[RoboBlaster]

Forgot the last strip
or strike.
The sound has been forgotten, but
I will always remember the looks
not of you
but of it.

Depressed mood and your flat words, used countless times before
but not meaning to be that way
it just sort of happened.
Try harder next time.

My only hope is that my slices will smoothly
slide into the sidefolds of yourself.

[EnDurA]

a lil poem from me.
if anyones played Baldurs Gate 2 then they know what i'm talking bout

what have i become?

i find myself in my dreams
lost in all my memories
feelings of pain, pride and power
all circle me, in my dark hour

my soul has been lost
replaced by a darkness
but something else is filling that darkness
something that reeks of evil
something that i can't control
something i know is my linage
it is me as i should be

the power i feel is welling up in me
looking for an exit
it overflows and all reason is lost
i find myself lost in the power i lust
i am without control, without spirit, without soul
i am what i hate
i am death

[Magic_Midget]

Gem, excellent poem, very long and lots of emotions expressed

Robo, very depressing poem more of a looping thing

Endura, Big fan of Baldur's Gate, pretty much described it. GJ

[RoboBlaster]

What do you mean by "more of a looping thing?"

[aie93]

Here are my four short poems:

mirrors surround me in this wall of light
where they go into the depth of the soul
the imprintation of my life in them
the inanimate storage of life that surrounds
the depth of the single plain of existance
deeper, smaller, multiplying, protecting
removing

the thousand mile stare and no words
no way out from this eternity

cascading blue running around
keeping the sanity of a square room
no shapes to be found in this world
keep on drowning in the silence
no answers to be found
the world ignoring
beware

life, the world, true in all it's forms

[DragonSon]

Untitled

I sit and ponder
At the days end.
As I stare in wonder
At the razor's end.

I bring the blade
Down to my wrist.
As I begin to slice,
I make a fist.

I look into the past,
Memories invade.
I regret nothing,
As I welcome the blade.

I fall to the ground,
Kneeling in the blood's pool.
There is not a sound,
But of the laughing fool.

The razor falls out of my hand,
I breathe my final breath.
I look into the Promised Land,
And take a backwards step.

[ShyShy]

very dark, baby... but i'm glad to see you in a good mood!

[DragonSon]

[izchan]

: First Love

I have loved you all my life
since the first time we met
but you never did know
because I could not put the words out
So seven years have past
and I am your best friend
when you were married
and I am your husbands best man
standing there behind you
while you lay your vows
I heard my heart crush
me soul sinking straight down
I gave you my blessing
and never turned around
slept for 1 week
and lost 5 pounds

Another 5 years have passed
and here we meet again
in this coffee shop I tell you a story
of a naive boys heart
who loved a girl he could never touched
which he lost at the end to another
and yet time have passed
and all will heal
For I am going to marry a japanese girl
she loves like no other
and heals my painful soul
breaking the ties that have held me down

I am sorry that I never told you
what I felt before
and now I say what I shall never say again
I have loved and lost you before
and thank you for the chance to have loved you at all
I will always be your best friend
that I want you to know
good bye my first love
as eventually boys will grow

Not really poem, not really a show, not really anything, just words that flow. Hope you enjoy it.

[Avion]

Awesome poems everyone.
Izchan, amazing!

here's one of mine. there's more to come tomorrow.

----------------------

Wrong :


I’m always wrong
sauntering in a dreamful curse
killing everyone, it’s like an extra verse
I’m always staging a plague
don’t know where I belong
hurting myself to stay strong
I’m counting on you to make me feel wrong

I’m trying to love
I end up killing you above
I’m so wrong inside
I destroy and hurt
I belong under the dirt
I’m not strong, I lied

look what I’ve done
I’ve killed her emotions like a deathed black sun
she is the only one who heals me
and I did something stupid
my emotions seeped out, now she stares back at me with her eyes, insipid
don’t worry, I won’t come back, ever again, no more we

I’m tired, in a trance
I’m drowning in my sleep
a fog overlaps a poison
the fog drifts into my head
a numbing feeling following
a nothing fearing frosting
I wish you were my lance
to purge victory over my trance

I’m always the one who’s wrong
what am I doing, thinking of you and me?
am I stupid?
It is wrong of me to ever assume you to be the perfect home for me
you don’t even want me to be with you
there is no place for me in your heart
and because of my stupidity
I don’t have the right
to even be friends with you
anymore

your heart was my passion
a tool for compassion
because I need a home
I need to be loved
no one else makes me feel loved
but you

please forgive
my pledged thoughts of friendship
I was trying to live
don’t worry, you don’t need to give

I see the sky
It’s drowning me
I’m running away
I hope you’ll be proud of me
there is this sound in my head
it hurts when I sleep
cause all I see
is everyone dead

I’m wrong to have dreamed of you
I’m wrong to have needed you
I’m wrong to have believed in you
I’m wrong to have loved you

how could I have done this
this horrible thing
which is to need you
but how do I share this world with you?
when no one else is sharing it with me

we belong as only friends
I see how wrong I really was
to dream of holding you in a bed of flowers
that roused to stain your hair
with scents of a new found love
don’t worry I’m running away like I always do
I just don’t know where I belong
so I’m counting on you to make me feel wrong

-------------------

[Magic_Midget]

That was long as most of ur poems are and very good too. Here's a quickie not one of my best ones, but I gotta post regularly on here to keep this thread going
_________________________________________
Liquid Eyes by Lee

Liquid eyes at sunset, green flashes
What wonders have they seen
In moonlight, in firelight
Double a scented candle’s solitary flame
Imagine pupils, uncontrolled dilation
Emotion, anger, passion unbound
A multitude of tears have flowed
Complex and wonderful
The fountain of a deeper soul
Though these eyes gaze ******d
An unblinking stare
As if from a dream
These thoughts sadden
For I know
They will never perceive
Any light reflecting off of me

[White Raven]

Knight... That was very sad. So sad... Made me almost feel nauseous.
Who is that about?

And sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I dunno... Been going through a period of literary stagnation, I suppose. Creative waters have stopped rippling for the moment, and I'm waiting for inspiration. I might write some this evening.

Love you all and your poetry!

[Avion]

Awesome one Arcane.


Here's another one from me...

Velvet curse :

loud storms caving in
a light craving excitement
hundreds of flowers flourishing
a pattern of mid land castles breaking the roads

a memory
an ecstasy
wildering beside the fence
dwindling with moon light
breathless running with sight
vulnerable creatures dowsed in hideous features

tilted water spinning inside out
onto dark black blood ponds
glazed with a hidden light
past forth my sight
a room filled with nourishing
flowers born to stab with thorn, flourishing
a moving invisibleca of hands holding birds last bones
a Geist of pleasuring provocation completing his measuring
bird bones dancing upon a spotlight rock
crystallized streams of blood core
a vulnerable mind
casting a blaze
of light proceeding to fight
with a sleep

orders bellowed flowers into darkness
a stemmed spotlight fused the corner with misting glow
numbing heart with darker blood still to flow
a tearing of leaves and blowing seas
began to fill the shadows
a pain inside the mind, a yelling of no’s
a drugging hand carves hurting into my forehead
a sad flourishing
inside the eyes
a master loosing his winning good-byes
dieing in my dreams
a place to cast away
a stream of blood core
onto dark black blood ponds
inside the eyes
a master loosing his winning good-byes

------------
------------

Glossary:

invisibleca: a poetic extenion of invisable

Geist: spirit; intellectual inclination

provocation: an extention of provoke,
1)To incite to anger or resentment.
2)To stir to action or feeling.

[izchan]

This is just a poem.
Do not flame me on the issue ...

: When men fall

It was against my better judgement
that made me fall in love
Even though I saw it coming
I was too proud to buck away
I thought I could conquer it all
I believe I could calm the sea
but how wrong I was
for it was me that had fallen

When you said you love me
You knew you had the key
and without thought you used it
now look what has become of me
I follow your mood swings
like a yoyo on a string
I weep because you are leaving
and only happy when you are happy
No longer my own master
lost my independency
No longer a man to the world
only a pet to be seen
I am a lost cause now
and I can only begin
to tell other my sad story
of how a man fell in love
and lost his humanity

enjoy it.

[ShyShy]

no flames from me on that one izchan, that could have been written by a man or a woman. i know what it's like to place the person you've loved in the center of your universe and live your life for him to the point where you yourself become nothing more than a shadow. and now, i demand time in the spotlight.

[Avalon]

I'm pissed and upset at a few things, so here's a poem from the silence that I've had over a few matters, and just feelings that I wanted to share:

My Independence

I’m sick of you
I’m pissed of having to follow you
I’m upset that I help you
And when you’re done all you do is more on.

I’m sick of being used by your
I’m pissed of having to use your rules in this game
I’m upset that I stay to clean you place
But I don’t even get a number to reach you

I’m sick of having to aid you
I’m pissed because my day is ruined by you
I’m upset because all you do is bitch and moan about
You

I’m sick of you being a selfish little bitch
I’m pissed because you stayed when it was good
I’m upset because you left when a small wave came about
And all you did was worry about you

I’m sick of not following myself
I’m pissed because I carried you
I’m upset because I worried about you
And your dumb ass and all you did was use that courtesy to make YOU feel better

So what about me?
What about my needs?
I hear yours and understand but how does that help me?
A friendship is a two way thing ain’t it?
So what about my way
Or are you here just o use me
Over and over again

I’m sick of being a marketing tool for you
I’m pissed because I’m just nothing to you
I’m upset because you use me as a way to make you feel better
Just another minority you know so you don’t seem racist

I’m sick of being judged by the media
I’m pissed because I’m nothing like them
I’m upset because you judge me the same
And in the end, to you I’m just another black nappy haired man

I’m sick of being misclassified
I’m pissed because I’m not black, I’m Hispanic goddamnit
I’m upset because I’m just like you
American

I'm sick of being forgotten by you
I'm pissed because all you do is apologize
I'm upset because I told you ahead of time
And you did nothing at all to realize

I’m sick of being attached to you
I’m pissed because I’ve had to rely on you
I’m upset because nothing has come out of it
So I’m claiming my independence

With a middle finger in the air
My fourth starts on the fifth
With a telephone message to you
“FUCK YOU”
--Written by: Leo A. Newball Jr.

[hgnis]

And that folks is why the old people in this here great country cannot relate to them young 'uns...

Heat. Warm.
Perspire. Sticky.
Sweat. Moist.
Restless. Uneasy.
Insomnia. Ringing noise.
AC NOT WORKING!!!!!! :'(







...Fridge empty as well.

[Avion]

avolon that's a really good poem. hope to here more

Izchan awesome.

here's one I just made.


I'm forgeting

towering wraiths split open a pasture
a pasture filled with green-blue haze ever more
a pasture filled with echos and children playing
with the scent of life curled onto wind's breasts
furthering a moist spray of water onto my face
felt like wind's hair couresing my skin
a pasture is where I walk to forget

towering wraiths split open my tears
my tears that were once strong
my tears that make my eyes feel good to stay closed
filled with a part of me thats cold and soft
keeping the insides quiet when they need to sleep
my tears fall until I forget

towering wraiths split open my emotions
my emotions glaring onto the refelcting stream
my emotions blanketing my injured breathing, injured sleeping
keeping me stiff and altered into treason
with my own dreaming
the touching
the hurting
the noises
my emotions want me to forget

towering wraiths
ones mothering
ones fathering
sometimes they touch me
sometimes I forget
can't you see, I'm trying
the sleeping...

[EnDurA]
