Another Artistic Thread - POEMS

[Jedi Gemstone]

Gots another poem, wrote it earlier when I was supposed to be doing my homework...oh well.

You where never there

I sit here alone in the dark
Thinking of you
Nothing here
Wind blowing gently against my hair
Curtains with holes flutter
Rain lashing outside
Thunder and lightning, bolting, rumbling outside
Time stands still not ticking an inch
I feel neglected and pain
Agony, torture and insomnia
I cannot sleep, I cannot rest
All my voices call in my head
Lost in a whirl of my misscarry plan
My mind lies in rags at my feet
Defeat and deceit surrond me
The room I'm in is like a dark shadow
Never leaving my side
Shutters rattle and rage at the window
Floor boards creak and moan
The walls are rotten like the hold a thousand memorys
You where never there and never will be
I might as well face it
I'm alone in this room, alone to die
I break down in tears and cry
My heart seizes and my body shakes violently
I lie in a gruesome , macabre mess
My death lingers in the air
Yet you however where never there.

I was thinking earlier today we should all start our own poetry community type thing. What do you guys think?

[izchan]

Good day people.
Here is one for the day.
Don't wait for me ...

: Messy business

My brain is slowing down
my soul is sipping away
I am so messed up
I can tell night from day

sitting in a cubicle
contemplating my life
only to see a blue board
with a window with silver linings
the window to my world

For what is worth
I still do my share
but at the end of day
it is them that gets the fare

so why bother killing myself
over these petty benefits
only to end up later
with a retire plan
that shoves me to "LUCKY OLD FOLK CARE"

So live and let live
thats what I say
for time waits for no one
enjoy it while it is lasts
for the end is coming here

[Jedi Gemstone]

Izchan why are you telling us not to wait for you? I would wait for you heres a poem I wrote last night-
Its why I'm here,
because of you,
You've stuck by my side,
Through rise and fall,
You make me wanna smile till my cheek bones ache,
I Love you more than words can say or describe,
I'll be with you,
Be with you through it all,
Mark my words,
I'll alwasy be here by your side,
Just look when your doubtfull I'll be there,
Through thick and thin I'll be there,
Come rain or shine,
Hail or storm,
I'll be here I'am here,
Guess what,
I aint going nowhere.


one of the happiest poems I've ever wrote hope you all like it.

[izchan]

Jedi ... ... I am so touched ... ... you might not have written it for me ... ... but I feel that you had ... so thank you. You are a GEM!!!! ...

A thought for the day.
Why do people live within their problems when they know there is a better life somewhere else?

: Redemption

I know I am knee deep in it
I understand there is nothing I can do
I fully accept that my time is up
but why am I still going on?

I see the futility in the effort
I feel the urge to run away
I hear words of discouragement
but why do I still persist on it?

I made my decision on this matter
I will sleep on this bed I made
I know the consequences of failure
and I choose something other then defeat
I will not give up on you
and you will not give up on yourself
for the road will only end
when all hope have died within
for then life has no meaning
and that is what I can't stand
for I choose to live again

I am currently in a phase of choice. A junction in my faith and life. The decision I make will shape what my future might be. And the consequences that I will face.

There are people who says, "I have no choice" ... well ... I say ... "I choose otherwise" ...

Enjoy the poem.

awww thanks Iz you always put a smile on my face
Heres another poem I was working when i was supposed to be doing my music homework-

The sun rises in a heartless sky
Angry birds cry
Humanity fled
Gone to mars they said
The ground is hotter than normal
The north and south poles begin to melt
A swift tide of the worlds oceans
The land gradually is lost to view
Nothing is left exceot the sea
How could we let this be?

and another suicidal one-

I've lived my last day
In this perilous life
I sit on the cold kitchen tiles
In my hand is a knife
The candle beside me
Flickers and groans
I let pain take control as the knife cuts through me
My heart just moans
Like a great burden has been lifted
I drop on the floor
Blood spills and floods around me
I now live no more.

Enjoy them

[izchan]

Very grim, Jedi. Be weary of your feelings, for it will lead you down to the dark side.

... always wanted to say that to SOMEONE who actually understand it.

: Illusions of the mind

Make beliefs truths
lies and deceits
sweet empty words
promising the unpromised
Sugar coat faces
honey combed tounges
giving you everything that is dung

Voiceless whispers
silent encouragement
invisible arms to hold us true
blind loving eyes
seeing only the best
giving us everything without complaint

Broken down souls
lost in the mist
limping slowly back into bliss
if only more would willing see
there is still hope given for free
to those we wish
a new path to eternity

Again ... ... I choose otherwise.

enjoy.

Sitting in the rain, under the light of a single lamp post.
She waits for what will never come.
Her true love gone to a place he will never return from.
Sadly she waits, Waits and not knowing.

My creative writing teacher liked it.

[Jedi Gemstone]

Iz I understand what you mean
Idiot your can't be an idiot if you write something as good as that
heres my participation for today-
Memory box

The sun sets down
Darkness covers the land
You take my hand
As we walk along the sand
Like a new birth of night
The moon rises high in the everlasting sky
We walk close and you bring me closer
Like two spirits never to depart
You'll remain forever in my heart
I'll cherish this night forever
In my box of memories
Which I never lose or forget
a box which remains in my soul
I'll never let go
Then you'll know that I'll always love you.

hope you guys like them.
and another one asociated with sunsets-

Sunset

The sun sinks low
Beyond the brink
reds, yellows
lilacs, blues
Splash across the sky
Darkness gently laps by
Soon it regins the land
Like a giant wave
Wont go out
Until the morning sunshine shouts
Yet till that time I'll sleep the night away
Stars will fade like autumn leaves
On comes another day.

[izchan]

idiot ... ... welcome ... ... and plase post more
I see what your teacher see ... POTENTIAL ...

: At the other end

Another day has gone by
the time in which he calls a life
slips silently away
taking a route of decay
when hearts beats slower becuase of age
the mind grows dimmer because he is gray
the muscles seems softer while he plays
of what use is a pair of shades
when he can no longer tell night from day

oh what bitterness this old man has
when his love of life has gone to pass
holding his old walking stick
slowly limping into dark
whispering into the night
"Oh! I have seen better days"
not seeing the dim lit candle light
at the other end of the passage

and another grumpy old man poem ...
I say ... ... otherwise ...

enjoy.

another poem from..me..and off i go for another week....

Rude Awakening by Lee

Awakened by the voice that calls my name,
But when I open my eyes, no one's there,
Only a gentle breeze that coarses my face,
Going back to sleep, knowing something had came.

Awakened for the second time tonight,
This time, a touch on the cheek,
Opening my eyes, but there's no one around,
Only a letter beside my bed on the ground.

I examined the letter found,
It only said turn me around,
There lay an inscription on a card,
That said, 'Meet me in the graveyard'.

Leaving my warm comfortable house,
Walking a few blocks to the main gate,
It was dark and bit eerie,
But this is what it comes down to be.

Surpassing the tombstones on the lot,
I heard her voice again, but so near,
Thinking why I dragged myself into this,
But there sat a woman, made of mist.

Awestrucked by the beauty in her eyes,
She only whispered through the wind,
Saying to come closer to her,
I couldn't believe the unexpected.....

I walked up to the tombstone,
But I felt something pulling me up in the air,
Looking at her once beautiful face, lies a diseased corpse,
Eyes glaring of red, and a smile crept upon it's face.

"Naive little boy, can't take me for granted ya know,
Your ancestors, how I beseech,
That they used their powers to turn me into a lich!
But I've learned a few tricks of my own...."

And with that I felt I was tearing away from my body,
I can only bear witness, that my demise is coming,
Closing my eyes for the final moment...
........................silence.....................
*
*
*
Awakened by the chirping of birds,
Man, I had a bad dream,
But, why the heck am I so light,
And my voice.....so...w..hi..s.......p..er...y?
---------------------------

Its been an odd number of years now,
I had been so naive that night,
But why did I drag myself into this,
Cause now I'm just an element called mist.

[izchan]

wow ... fantasy reading ... ... nice going arcane. Total new experience for me.


I don't think I will be writing today.
writers block ...
But we will see.


: Misery

Letters to my heart
unopend and left a drift
songs to the soul
unheard and walked away
troubles within the mind
untended and growing fast
like cancer to the body
killing every hopes that has come
guilt is a deadly being
for it eats away our strenght
and only in forgiveness
are we spared the pain
the wounds will never go away
even when it is healed
for it serves to remind us
that we have once failed

Maybe I will write after all ... ... blocks ... such strange thing. One moment it is there, the other ... pooof ... gone.

enjoy.

[Magic_Midget]

its a new genre for me to explore in izzy...i found it quite rewarding..

And your poems...whether writers block or not..they still sound good

[izchan]

Arcane, well ... I hope to read more of this kind of work, for I believe that you have grown considerably over the thread, much more depth inside your poems now .. ... and I like it.

Keep posting.

: Shards in the mind

Broken glasses blocks my sight
like shards in the mind
no thoughts are clear anymore
tainted by the ignorance of man
so we go into another war
for justice and for peace
with spilled bloods and guts
we attain a final saying
in GOD we trust
in DEATH we begin

enjoy.

I started vol. 5 and this is my first poem:
________________
Sharing A Dream by Lee

Carried by the wind, my soul travels;
Onward to a distant faraway land;
Where the sun never sets;
But lays low over the horizon
Leaving a pinkish haze amonst the clouds.

A heavenly paradise only dreamt of in dreams,
I scour the land for any signs of life;
Upon my amazement, I spy a lone woman,
Sitting on a cliff above the surf;
Instinct says I must meet her....

Walking up behind her, eyeing her curves,
What more can I ask from this pretty woman;
Her head turning around, passing me a sly wink;

....i've been expecting you......

Expecting the unexpected she got up
And held me in her arms,
All I felt...a warm passionate kiss from this stranger,
Pure bliss, eternal exctasy, all the feelings you can imagined,
From just one single kiss...

Asking her, "Do I know you"?,

....only...in ...a.... dream..

I don't want this to end....

.....we'll meet again...lee...lee.....*fading*

-------------------------------
Waking up only to the moans of my girl in bed...
Murmuring my name......

[izchan]
