A moonlight spoke between Said all it could say Stole our words So sweet, absurd The silver slipped away What has passed beneath us? What has left us here Took our time With snatching crime

Hunger bends to madness Desire bends to sin A quiver breaks the sadness I am dwelling in Warmth of summer sun Splitting through the trees Across the hood does run And breaths inside of me

Is there more to this life than this paradise; This illusion of delusions that seems so right, Can I see more then I'm meant to see- Or does this make me crazy? One more step to take and I'll fall tonight Into the lap of my specters; who hold me tight, If the thoughts which remained...

That morning, I rose quietly, as I always do, But I woke to stillness, There was no usual Sunday morning bustle. I made my way to the living room that morning, as I always do, "Where could they be?" I wondered, "Grandpa, Grandma, Papa, Mama?" I found only my sister there.

Only the darkness will know The truth behind the Silence of a broken heart. That is all. =D

Paled lips Statue-still Black snow falling Cold, dead chill Five seconds before, a warp to the past Heart beating strong Moments till its last

im sorry i wasn't happy enough for you im sorry that i let you slip from my fingers your doubt in our union never halted me but your trust in another did she could cheer you up when i could not she could touch you when i could not she could love you physically and mentally when i could...

the pitter-patter of rain, will always please, ones ears in the evening. and look at the fields, dead grass, waving in the wind.

Distance... Distance... It's been a while since I last saw your smiling face before me, A few years sounds about right. How long ago was it since we last walked through the halls together? Distance... Distance... It's been a while since I've heard you tell a joke beside me,

Tears will not fall tonight, I swear, Beneath the ethereal moon, I shall dance in the snow. Forget the sorrow of unrequited love! I do not regret a thing, Love, I believe, is like fire, It warms to the core yet it burns, inflicting its agonizing harm.

Another heedless night, Soundless from the lips of scorn I ponder pangs and aches Soul-strings tempted to be torn Tantalizing oscillation- In the shadow of my doubt; Where my own echoes tend to lie Forever inked in the now

In the Dead of Night I lay awake. Scared awake by my own fright. I reach for your comfort, but all I find Are handfuls of fabric. I clutch them tight, and think of you. It's like a dream, but I don't care. I whisper your name, but to no avail. So I cry it out, but your not there. Funny,...

In the black, I sat and wait. I was sure i would never leave, Never to feel, never to see. But then she came in a dress of white, Her smile illuminating my endless night. She took my hand, and pulled me up. She pulled me out of my own grave. She kept my hand, within her own. And showed...

There once was a man who wanted fame So he vied for the riches in a Faustian game Put up for grabs was his talent for prose His time allotted was the life of a crystal rose Ahead of him his tasks were clear To write nothing more for an entire year And for a day after he would blame His...

Another poem done by request. Not my best work but I'm very happy that the one this is for like it ^_^ So I sat on the old swing set and looked up at the sky, feeling empty inside because the sky wasn't the same sky without your love, though so many would chastise and say it had...

Languishing leaves tumbling from summer trees A lament which is granted by the autumn breeze As if the idea of perfection isn't truly subjective, I waste my time and wonder in ways so obsessive As if I cannot feel right with the world A wave of ravens disguised as shrikes, As surely sharp...

Hope you guys like it :3 If I Were If I were the ocean, I would call out all the mammals living in me If I were the skies, I would call out all the birds that fly through me If I were the land, I would call all the plants and trees that live on me If I...

SOMETHING BETTER THAN YOU Watching the drama blindfolded. I never knew you would leave me like that. Uncaring, unloving, unreasonable. Confronted with the fact that I need to forget. Hold on to the memories I left. How you smiled at me stroke my hair. The bitter, the better. I hope it...

Missing Treasure The missing treasure of this sinking vessel On the seafloor, where it would nestle Against the base for years it'd lay Patiently waiting for that special day When I would come to claim my prize Hoping the chest to my surprise Would hold the heart that I've been missing...

Mr. Smiley Candy-man I am, Candy-man. Taking you home with placid sweets Trembling in your cream, curled hand. Candy-man with overplayed promises And grimed lies behind white teeth, I am. Big blues eyes focus on me With a solemn moment of doubt in me.

Expectations Now the silence is deafening As if the drop of a pin Could set the world on fire, Though it seems it’s already drowning In everyone’s own pyre. In this desperate case of your God and mine Yours is the better liar. Have we emphasized enough

Long story short, I've been starting to make this thread on some forums. The idea was to provide me a topic and once I saw it I was to write a poem on it on the spot. Now it's not all about me, so I would instead suggest we do a chain type poetry game. Any format, challenge yourself with a...

Eternal darkness without a limit, No soul can withstand the pain in it Struggling to find the will to fight, It's hard without a single ray of light Running aimlessly in the cold,soft sand Somewhere nearby a river crosses the land I am lost,my life is done, It seems that I must be the...

Le roi (The King) Thus far have I seen sullen beauty Presented in a creature of high stature. Such eyes devour the light in me To resolve to their darkened glow. I can only cry for an explanation Of the man dressed in stone. Life is imprudent to the dry soul Of the beggar--

Snaking endlessly in the wind, A thousand notes glide and sweep 'cross the plains like wildfire. Music, like a lover's caress, streams forth from the shadow, We dare not venture into the shade of the clouds of ash, Tales of past hold us back from taking risk.

BLUE: Wonder what your doing Wonder if its right A flame across the heavens sky Bright and pearly white Wonder what the birds up high- are telling you tonight I wonder how you look at me I wonder if they tell you too

Profusely refusing the fusion of Illusion and False Conclusion as being bitter black lies gouging out your eyes. Adopting them as realities, not seeing their hidden calamities. Abusing, throwing away

This is just a random poem that i made while i was in sixth grade.. it's not very good though... It's called the mask ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Though i seem happy My true emotions never show The happiness and the Darkness Two...

This one I wrote as part of a poetry class I took in college going on 6.5 years ago... >_< My teacher liked it enough to select it for submission into the school's poetry anthology for that year. :) I have edited it since, however. Please enjoy! ---------------------------- My Mind My...
