Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[izchan]

here is something new ...


: In a different light

Time will come one day
when you will be tired of all the nonsense
of all the wasted time
of all the negatives in life

Years will pass before you realize
that nothing you are doing now
will ever change untill you change your life
to change the view in which you see everyday

For every problem
is but another perspective
A chance to change for the better
A chance to learn
A chance to give

A chance to be free again


---
Hope you guys enjoy this
It comes straight from the experience that I have had these few days ... which seems like weeks to me ...

[izchan]

Alot has happend in these pass two weeks ... and it seems like eternity for me ...

only these words remain ...

: Goner

passing by ... day by day
we never realised that we are dying
dying from the ignorance we have in us
dying from the bitterness in life

Rain fall comes and wash away
leaving me with nothing but tiredness
When will I find it
someday later
someday today
that peace and quiet time

Lost am I words to utter
of this and that to say
no more reasons or senses to conform
gone are the childish dreams
waiting to die someday

[izchan]

: Be as it may

Be that as it may
numb, dumb, forgotten days
drugs that takes the soul away
lies that hides under good intentions
bastards that lives on freely
and virtues that fades
what a shitty day

This poem was written in another thread, but I though I will just keep a copy here for persistent sake ...

My entry to your competition ....

: Somethings are just like so

If it were mere words
I would have walked away
but it was my heart that broke that day

Don't say a thing my love
for I have lost my inner self today
when you took away the only thing I care

If it was my choice
I would have stayed and kept going
but alas it is not mine to say

Be as it may as all things decay
I wished upon all my faith that it is not so
the love that took my life away

Tears may flow again someday I think
My heart may heal again someday I hope
life may begin again someday I wish
Walk away from pain someday I will

By Isaac Chan

: Distant blues

Good bye my love
you have walked away once more
taking all that is me with you
and showing no sign of return
I sit and ponder among others
what life will be with you far away
when will I be able to stop crying
how will I be whole again
Like summer's rain
gone before it reaches land
that's the feeling within
Good bye again

Something that is part of a memory long ago ...

[izchan]

: Burden in my eyes

life is really getting to be a burden
one must understand what it is that makes us tick
why do we go through all the clock work motions
only to see that day end in a different way

sometimes a man just has to shout
and woman have to let the tears dry
Of what that makes us walk away smiling
or crawl away in rags of emotions
The burden of life ...
mysterious as a lie
a dream of dreams
my life

And another ...

Linkin Park, By Myself

What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Cause I cant hold when I'm strecthed so thin
(*edit*^original line- "sunlight burns the skin of sleepy men"-^)
I make the right moves but I’m lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself

I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I’m defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they’ll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself

I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think I’ve lost so much
I’m so afraid that I’m out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don’t you know I can’t tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can’t seem to convince myself why
I’m stuck on the outside (x2)


awesome song with poetic lyrics

[binary hero]

this is a great thread. I hadn't read it before, but I have just sat down in front of it for 45 mins. The poetry is great. Thanks for making my eyes hurt :P

[Trista]

Wow, I didn't even know about this thread when I posted my poetry... oh well.

[Bilbo Baggins]

You coudl post it back in here if you liked

[Trista]

Should I?

Nemissis, I'd join your contest, but all I have are these dumb three poems that I've already posted. I really only started writing poetry again recently. I mean, I wrote some when I was younger, but those were just...retarded.

[Bilbo Baggins]

Mine are worse.

[Trista]

ok ok, here's one



Above us a shooting star,
Trailing its light
Just as I cling to my wishes,
My memories
And your tears are illuminated
By the glow
But they were not made for me, I know
They will not fall
As our hands cling to each other
With the smallest
Gravitational pull in the universe
I will miss you

[izchan]

I thank all those that have come and shared again into this thread. For I thought I will be the only one that will be posting for the rest of it.

Welcome bizznatch, binary and trista for contributing.

I would have loved to listen to your song bizz, you have it on MP3 or something? If so, mind if I download it for some interesting listening?

Nemesis, usual, solid portray of work. Your words tend to remind me of all those novels I read (fantasy) where the hero and heroine's love hate relationship. Well, it also speaks volume in my best friends current relationship, he is still finding the courage to stand up and make a decision.

As for Trista, in this world, there are no stupid poems, just hard to understand ones ... ... give us some time and we will get it, if not you can always write a synopsis to explain what you are trying to say. But this

is very well written and straight foward. The sadness you are trying to give is very strong. Keep your poems coming in. We will love to read more of your work.

The day is still young, will post my poem for the day later, have to get back to my paycheck before I get caught ..

Again thanks for all the contributions ... keep it coming guys.

Here is an old poem that I found in my scrap book recently

: Enough to be happy

The one that holds my heart still
Is the girl that did not know
The one that I spy from far away
while she has breakfast at Coffee Bean

She loves her coffee black
eats cheese cake with butter on top
likes to wear flowy white skirts
and a jacket too big for her

she passes my way everyday
not seeing me at all
her perfume lingering ever so short
but strong enough to make me want more

I wonder if she will ever know
there is this guy so near her
that hopes for nothing more then
to watch her drink coffee every morning

I don't remember her face totally now ... but i can still the warmth I get just looking at her through the window every day ...

Have you guys ever had a feeling like that?
