Today I found you under the oak tree An angel bending on her knees A sweet smile, but little did I know Seeds of death did you sow Today I saw you draw the curtains In one of the young children's rooms A kind word you whispered to him, I thought But they were words filled with sin

I wrote this one stanza last night right before falling asleep. I figure i'd share it with you. Don't take this too serious Its just something that i needed to get out of me The parts that clutter my thoughts that riddle my brain and clouds my heart...

*Left*

the hand carves the sleepless hours into black fettered eyes a desire to shoot down the sun and maybe buy some time this room smells of orange peels and cups of cold green tea the clothes are dirty and clean but I can't tell them apart

There is no future for this world of ours In the end we will go in a bloody mess To one flawed hand will the pure fall A stain on a virgin white dress Songs of hope and love comfort Fleetings moments of time Silence's cruel hands hold strong And echo with silent chimes

It seems all I hear Is "Whose side are you on?" But I have nothing to say Because everything I say, is wrong To someone I have no side of my own I don't even have a middle ground To voice my own complaints It's better not to make a sound

Okay, here's a poem that I wrote a while back, but went back over and changed it a bit with SigmaSD's help. Thanks Sigma. My Darkness My heart is black, my soul is tainted. My eyes are cold, my wings are broken. The feathers on my back turned gray,

What would you do if the wind blew in you face? What would you say if a man wouldn't let you go? How would you feel if you were touched? How many screams would come out tonight? Well, I don't know and I don't care cause no one else cared for me. No one else, no one needed to because I was left...

I wrote this a while back. I hope you like it. Definitely so spaced is right Just writing crap and making stacks; About all the little details not known right off the bat And so I will continue to write crap and make stacks; Laying bricks to make a wall out back; Building blocks to...

Okay, here's another short poem that I wrote. I know that I'm really bad at rhyming which is why I need all the help I can get. Tell me what you think please! Thank you ^^ Gone I'm watching as the world around Moves at stellar speed. Taking all the things I've known And everyone I need....

I wasn't going to share this one but i don't know. Every time i re-read this tears come to my eyes. It's going to be hard to read the criticisms on something i wrote that has so much of my anguish in it. So much pain and questions have been jumbled into the two little stanzas below. I just got up...

The wonderful thing, the wonderful place Is in her heart, setting the worlds pace People don't have to ask, for her help She gives it to them, saves them from hell What would you ask her, if you had just one day id ask why and what made her this way To show courage and commitment, through...

Just a small question to start: If I regularly post poetry, can I keep it in one thread, and just keep updating the first post? Edit: answered. Thoughts are always welcome. Threadbare It's a bit like a spiral. Down and down and down and down. Until there's no thread left to follow...

Thoughts are always welcome. Her Name The light in the bedroom flickers like a nightmare sweating in the strobe of it she wonders if there's anyone who remembers her name Everything inside shudders

The room is almost empty The windows are clicking off You reach into your mouth And pull out the sweets scoff The miles start to grow A carpet desert all around Twixt your flashing smile And my wayward frown The TV's ambiance

At one moment I sit and I listen to my heartbeat. Its beat is my breath. My life. My one moment to be here. At one momenti sit and close my eyes. Darkness is behind my lids. I panic. And in a moment, I open my eyes. At one moment....I sit and taste the air. I taste poison. I cringe. My one moment...

Okay, another poem. This one is actually a gift for ~Zetromis~. But, I want to make it better, so any advice is welcome! ^^ thanks thank you for everyone who has responded, it means a lot and I'm trying hard make this poem better. ************************************************** Do you...

I wrote this last night and thought to share it with you guys. Please give your honest opinion no matter how harsh. It is only throught honest criticism that we can become better at whatever we do. So ... enjoy? :unsure: The Journey of Love Take a journey with me my love, To a world where...

For security and refuge For love and comfort For joy and laughter For passion and pain I'll stay wrapped in your embrace never leaving, always reaching to pull you closer.

Yea, so I was really bored today so i decided to write a poem. Hope you like it! so yea, tell me what ya think. ^_^ I’m Wishing For I’m wishing for a time, when everything will turn out right, I'm wishing for a time, when I don't have to fight. I’m wishing for a time, when you can say you...

Here is another one by me. Please, Please tell me what you think:( Is It Me? Is it me or is it you? Is it the way i act or the things i do? How did we end up here, After all the things we had planned. We took off on the wings of the wind,

I was working on a poem all this week, 'cause I want to enter it in a school contest. I don't think it flows real well, but I couldn't think of anything to do to fix it, so this is what I have so far. So, what do you guys think I should do to fix it? Blackened Sea So many stars, I wonder...

I wrote this today. IT is currently untitled but I hpe you like it. Please be free to be honest. A silent gaze perpetuated by time and stage A comforting note written on a neatly crushed page These things remind me of your grace These things instill in me a mere resemblance of your...

Im not gonna be, just a pawn in your game You've taken my dreams and ripped them apart Your trying to be different but really your the same Give me nothing, i'll man up, and take my shot Bring me chaos, I'll bring you pain I had one chance, and i prayed to the flame I focused on strength...

And so we're standing there In the moment of our time The world still turns But i see you in a room full of people The motion starts and stops When i hear your name Your face lights me up Like when the night meets a flame

This one is not really deep. Its just me having fun with words and paper and rhyme. Tell me if you like it. My Pledge I pledge to write things true and light, Not just to write to my hearts delight, And i'll keep on writing these words enlightening, My views my thoughts, the...

Lingering waft, The air of the sea, Granted by the maiden of the misty breeze In hopes and in dreams of what life could bring, The power of the ocean rising up to sing The psalms of determination take flight As the undersea flora and fauna hold tight Like roots which all have grafted...

I was just dreaming through time Just committing the crimes Of idleness lines I had the world in my shoe And with all I could do I did nothing but you White little moons on the sill Of the window at will With a stone and the still

One of my favorites. This is something I wrote during summertime last year when I was just hangin' out with some friends out in a field by where I used to live on an awesome moonlit night. Moonlit Night Moonlit night. Starlit sky. Soft grass with a cool breeze.

Watch the trees in the autumn cold The breeze flowing from nocturnal skies The reaching of a child's hand Or maybe the puppy dog's eyes Think of all the right and wrong And connect it to your heart Think about your favorites songs, Or maybe how your life fell apart
