New Poetry Thread

Now that I can't sleep, think I'll throw you guys a little piece of amateur poetry:

Blade and battle be for one of big brawn,
Thought and talk be for one of high mind,
Make many a friend, peace will reign,
Make many a foe, war will follow.

Distance

Be it two and half miles
or two and half millimetres,
any distance from you
is a tormented existence.
Any space between us;
a space that invades us
and our natural boundary,
is charged with unnatural gravity
and Electromagnetism.
Forces beyond my control.
So I cannot rest
and will find no peace
except when in your arms.
 
Con, it isn't too bad though I found hard to identify with. Identifying with poetry is a very key aspect.

Dreamhunter, agreed. I'm jealous too.

Something little from me, it has been a while I think since I put some up here.

Rainbows

The world moves passed me,
All a-blur.
I sink slowly down,
Falling into the soft pillows of happiness.

Time has passed,
Only letting you know me better,
Knowing my emotions, my feelings,
Even by my slightest words.

I wonder if a rainbow could be captured,
Placed into a glass box,
For you to keep
Until the sun no longer shines in your heart.
 
Hell


I am Lucifer
fallen angel
betrayed by my lover
I wile away my days
among you mortals
and watch you worship
the one who mocks you
and hear you drag
my name in the dirt.

My blood boils over
the injustice raw
in my mind I scream
to see you humans
offer heart and soul
to he who plays you
like a pawn on the board.

I sip my coffee
and picture his gaze
his sniggers and glee
as he looks down on me
and the soap playing out
and is blamed for the love
while I get the hate.





Er...No offence intended.:rolleyes:
 
None taken.

Short one from me today, I wrote it about a week ago, so fairly recent too.

Destruction

What is it you want from me?
I'd give you the world if only I could.
You confuse me,
Come from both fronts.

You hold this power over me
A power no one else can hold,
The ability to make me feel like
The most vulnerably weak boy
Or the strongest, bravest man.

You can destroy me in one fell swoop
And rebuild me with the faintest laughter.
 
Well it has been an awful long time since I've posted in here, but since I have some new work I might as well.





Waiting, running with my song, chased by winds so fierce, so strong, whipping up they angrily blow, carrying secrets few should know.
The fabric of my life is torn; the edges are burned black and worn. I’m spinning, spinning round and round, can’t fly up can’t feel the ground. This ride’s too fast I cannot see, I cannot rest, I cannot be. No more lies and no more tears, but no rest for us with fears. Voices screaming in my head, take me back to what was said, cruel words, sharp and cold, didn’t do what I was told. Understanding’s hard to learn, trust is something you must earn.
Strong hands with weak hearts don’t care what they tear apart. Wicked eyes and wicked tongues weave their lies like spiders spun, silken webs ensnare you now, trap you here and hold you down. Strong and many, quickly they come, rise from the earth you cannot run. Dust and ash of ancient bone is all that’s left of this unknown.
Violations of the heart know only where the trap did start. Angrier the faster they rise, on the currents, with the tides. Coursing rivers, like brutal hands cutting a wound across the land. Hit and rip and break and burn, I stepped in the way, I never learn. Dizzy, aching, bleeding bruised, my lonely song and I refused. Weaker, weaker I’m forced down; I toss away my broken crown. My shield is melted, my sword snapped. No longer is my song entrapped. My song and I are now okay, this new fabric will not fray.










The heat rises in my face; my fever starts to melts this place. My woken heart begins to ache; with every beat my body shakes. The light stings my burning eyes, the shadow no longer tells her lies.
All that’s left now is a ghost; my memories now hurt the most. The fragile mind will block it out, but it breaks through the fear and doubt. Can’t erase reality, memories won’t let me be. Strange and dark this brand new pain, it won’t let me escape again.
I try and try to run away but end up back here every day. Day by day a subtle change, until it hits me hard again.
Though you’re not here you kick me back, you show me everything I lack. The wounds will never heal just right when you slice them open every night. Through every dream I bleed anew, I’d rather die than cry for you.
I really do always try to never let you make me cry, but it doesn’t always work you see, you’re so good at hurting me.
I run away and get nowhere, though no one really seems to care. I locked you up far from me, now you have to let me be. Maybe soon my mind will fade and take your ghost also away.

A bit of a piece even darker than Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie.....


Corruption of Wonderland



The Jabberwock patrols the sky
The White Queen’s servants wail and cry
The rebels made their final stand
Alice lies dead in Wonderland


The Red Queen sits upon her throne
Made of flesh and blood and bone
The Frabjous Day is hereby banned
Alice lies dead in Wonderland


The Red Queen now rules Wonderland
With the Vorpal Sword in hand
Its once white blade now dull and black
No longer to go snicker-snack
The Bandersnatch sleeps in the sand
Alice lies dead in Wonderland


Jubjub birds now swarm in flocks
With screams instead of tweets and squawks
All the way the Red Queen planned
Alice lies dead in Wonderland


Alice’s friends have all been found
Thrown in jail, dungeon, or pound
What they cannot understand
Is that Alice lies dead in Wonderland
 
This isn't my usual subject of work but I have to say after writing it I feel better.
Comments?




The fire rises in my throat, I spit it up, I cough, I choke. The stinging flame it fills my eyes, I’ll burn you with your wicked lies. Your words are vicious they reek of deceit; soon my revenge will be complete. I burn your skin, I break your bones, you’ll fall broken, bleeding alone.
The hate seeps forth, it changes me, I’m not quite what I used to be, you woke the sleeping beast within, your hate is what will do you in.
You act as a self-righteous lord; you’ve fallen on your own sharp sword.
You bleed, you ache, you cry in pain, do you think your words were vain?
I hope you hurt, I hope you cry, I hope you’re asking yourself why. Do you really think you’re true, so kind and filled with such virtue? The mirror reflects only the flesh; inside your heart is a blackened mess.
Your eyes look out judging us, we are whom you beat and cuss. You draw some in with your false tongue with promises and a hidden gun. The phantom lies within your soul; you don’t know it has control, think yourself so fair and kind, only in your perverse mind. The truth you bend it to your will, those who argue shall be killed. But no longer must I stay; the beast will beat you down today. My fire chars your skin so fast I strike you down with one clean blast. You’re words no more poison my air, the beast returns to her dark lair.​


I'm sorry if this is hard to read I can't seem to get it as broken up as the others. Hmph.
