My poetry thread

[RelaX]

With the mod's (silent) permission I wish to start my own poetry thread...

And to kick it off, here is the weirdest poem I ever wrote. Weird because when I wrote it, I was completely sober, but I wrote it from a female perspective.

I'm a healthy heterosexual guy, but somehow a cliché image of a beautiful woman dressed in white, running out of a cabin through a field of tall grass and flowers and into the arms of a loved one got into my head and flowed in the keyboard. I thought about changing 'he' to 'she' but somehow it wouldn't seem right.

Anyway, like I said... strange. I've never shown this to anyone so I doubted a long time as to whether or not to post this, but to hell with it...

'When he arrives'

A morning-flower,
One petal damp
I run by it
in your open arms
It's beauty paled
by your very presence
Like a teardrop the dew
glides down your stem
like it streams across my face
Guess we both love
to see the morning
when he arrives

[RelaX]

Something I wrote when I was listening to Linkin Park - Runaway and thinking about my parents...

'A Teenagers Anthem'

Day by day
He prays to God
For release
From this terrible place

There's not a memory here
Not one he wouldn't replace

He suffers here
Each moment is agony
Agony in heart and soul
They do such horrid things

They'll never give him a chance
To fly by his own wings

They make him wanna get away
To a place where he can be alone
They make him wanna run away
Run away from home

[RelaX]

I can't remember when I wrote this one, but it is one of my favorites.

'The splendour of a star'

I see your face
You seem so small
In such a small place

One million miles away
Yet every night you show yourself
On the other side of day

What a lonely life you live
Alone in that vacant place
You seem so much like me

Alone in outer space

[RelaX]

I wrote this to impress a girl that turned out not to even be interested in me.

'Angel'

One step above
a mortal girl
The way you move
the words you say

Time with you
seems so unreal
You truly amaze me
and every single day

I find out something new

This reality with you
It's better than a dream
It moves my spirit
My indistructable soul

It falls to pieces

Every time you're here
You're more than a human
Without you I am empty
With you I am whole

You must be an angel

[J.R.V.A.]

Your poems are very good. Thanks for sharing them. I like runaway, and angel the best. Good stuff.

A new emotion I wanted to word, anger:

'Victor'

One by one
The soldiers fall
Like rotten leaves
He sees them all

Murderers and thieves
They fought well
But not enough

One man
Robbbed them all
Of what they sought

His money
His fame
Whatever it may be

They were blind
Not to see
That HE is the victor

[RelaX]

I felt like writing something but had no subject, thus this poem was born.

'Burning inside'

Could I but describe what I feel
It would be poetry
It would shine so bright
Like the light of a thousand suns

Cast upon the moon that is me
Blinded by this energy
I do all but shine
I take it all in and make it mine

Inside it is ready to burst
But not ready enough
My hands are numb
The light feels heavy in its sum

It weighs on my heart
Knows no rest
But torments me relentless
Until I cease to supress

That feeling inside me

[RelaX]

A poem I wrote when slightly buzzed... somehow I always seem to write my best stuff when I'm buzzed :s
It's actually published and recorded to CD. Which is pretty cool.

'The Jury'

What is Truth?

Nothing of truth
Has come to bare
A fortnight long
They sat and stared

With words they try
Explain as they might,
One word to say it all
Return this mans pride?

One diamond, cut and shaped
Explains it all
Why no singular truth
Ever stands tall

One karat reflects half,
Yet none reflect it all

[koli70]

I love all of them U really have a talent. Do u plan to get your work published? Maybe your own book or something?

[RelaX]

You're just saying that because you love me, but I love you for saying it.

Anyway, here's to you babe, a poem I wrote when I thought about koli70, it's kindof lame, but the thought behind it is very real.

'Inet love'

Eventhough you're not here
I love you so

Although you're far away
I hold your name dear

Seems like every time we chat
I treasure the entire day

You seem so real
Yet you're miles from where I'm at

And when you say you love me
It's something I really feel

You send me letters
That feel so real

I regret that you're not here
So I could make you mine

Kiss you, hug you
Together we make love, the real kind

It's not us
It's love we redefine
