Place Your Poetry Here!

Yeah so do I

Stronger emotions tend to be better topics for poetry and I'm tired of all this lovey dovey poetry crap

Gentle reminder, that this board is meant for group discussion not so much the one-to-one. If you find you're talking to just one other person, PMs/email/IM might be a more appropriate medium. And, of course, we'd prefer substantial posts vs. one-liners. Try to keep a high signal-to-noise ratio. Bandwidth and databases simply aren't infinitely sized, and DD has to pay for both. If you're new to this board, you may want to take a look at the Young Wizards Board-Specific Rules or Why We're Not Like Other Boards FAQ.

I Saw A Man


I saw a man in a foreign land,
write a story upon the sand
he turned to watch a wild bird's song
and when he looked the words were gone

I spoke to a man from a land afar
he told me a story about a star
a story from an ancient place
a story about Time and Space

I glimpsed a man in a far-away place
I think he vanished without a trace
when i turned to gaze at his chair
it seems that he was never there.

I wandered into a mysterious place
oddly set in Time and Space
and the mists engulfed me there,
and left behind an empty chair.

Iappeared in a foreign land
I wrote my story in the sand
I turned to watch a bird in song
and when i looked the words were gone

I appeared again in a land afar,
and told a story about a star
and a story about a mysterious place
one that's lost in time and space

It was today that it came to me
an answer that i didn't see
though how it ever came to be
will remain a mystery

i was the man in the foreign land,
that wrote the story in the sand,
I was that man in the faraway place
that I saw vanish without a trace

I can't stay long in any place
I'm not stable in time and space
I leave these words for you to see
so that you'll remember me

That's awesome Myth.

Here's a couple of mine.

Love and Hate
Love can bloom from hate
And hate from love
The line between opposites is the easiest to cross
Yet never are the two mistaken one for the other
Both come from fire
Neither can survive in ice
They are brothers, sisters, and lovers
You cannot find one without the other
Everyone has a seed of love in them
Everyone has a seed of hate as well

those are pretty awesome, i like the darkness one. also the twins poem reminds me a tad bit of jacen and jaina XD

[Ink.Knight]

The last two actually reference the SW universe. The second one was about Jaina in Dark Journey. And the third one was about the legacy series. The first one was just something random.

So many amazing poems posted here recently, I can't even list all of them! I've been lurking in this topic a bit, reading, and it's a lot of amazing stuff!

I haven't posted here in a forever and a half (I'd forgotten this topic existed, nearly), so I decided to post something I wrote a little while ago. Not sure if it's a poem or a song, perhaps a mixture of both.

I was feeling a bit sad one day, remembering all of those who have passed away in the past years - my grandfather, my best friend's dad, my mom's friend's husband; and all of the people who have been hurt by having to leave relationships, and everyone I knew who's felt lonely. So, I just started writing on my computer late at night, and this is what it turned into.

Lost

Other than on here of course.
here I've been searching through the various posts on ablemuse.com, but here am struggling to connect with any of the work on there, and my feeling is that they wont appreciate mine in return.here If any one knows any similar sites operating in the UK with mostly British members, I'd really appreciate it.

[mythbusterfan]

kk, wow...just...wow. i don't even know what to say about that. fantastic poem ^^


Ink, that's awesome, star wars for the win XD



and here's something i wrote that may sound decently dark, but i like how it turned out



unchecked the coals of darkness smolder
without detection growing bolder
visible in mirror's reflected light
always lurking just out of sight

the forgotten three, they long to be
set loose on the world, bereft of light
destruction as far as the eye can see
the first step lies within their sight.

the worlds defenses not withstanding
the tides of darkness soon unending
the mirror slowly breaking down
into millions of pieces on the ground.

the boundaries that hold the monster within
slowly eroding,growing thin
the darkness slowly now arises
cloaked in shadow, in many disguises

soon the unities will not be spoken
friend from friend, bonds will be broken
disruption from behind the shadow door
a world in darkness forevermore

[Ink.Knight]

Here's a new one I just came up with. Kind of personal, but whatever.

Friendly Poison
Innocent smiles
Bright shining eyes
Not seeing the poison
That beneath it all lies
Not knowing the fate of a friendship new-born

Together they fight for familial ties
Yet together their rights are smothered in lies
Then towards the end the fights turn around
They battle each other, standing their ground
Again they grapple
And again they reconcile

But never again can sure trust be reached
For now the poison has through it all seeped
As they grow ever distant
Through time and through space
The poisoned friendship
Shall always remain

Staining their lives
In the future and past
Lurking within
Forever keeping its grasp

Lost broken smiles
Darkness filled eyes
Now seeing the poison
That beneath it all lies
Now morning the fate of a friendship new-born

[Tobiasscrabble]

here is

my other poem it should be pretty cool at least i thought so
If a person has an aura
Then so should their house
in My house some rooms are pure white
The white is innocent like a mouse
In the others they are as black as night
The black is sly like a fox
Like a snake in a box

The white is like an angel
With magnificent wings
The black is like a death toll
Silently it rings

The black is like a villain
With his sword
The white is a savior
That I adored

We Are Lost
We are lost, those who cannot chose
are lost so we are all lost in our
path to life. If we do not lose
now we surely will soon. The power
of life is not some gift to be given
but instead is a curse for no matter
what happens we lose; we are driven
to try to defy death, one splatter
of rain in a monsoon, we are lost.

Would I
Would I be crazy if I say
we shall all die this day
Would I be nuts if I jump
from fear of a simple bump
Or would you be crazy
to call me a lazy
person with so much time
that I make lines rhyme
In the end none of these
are relevant for the peas
have answered "Yes I would"
And also "Yes I should"

Dreams
Creatures of all sizes lurk
in the dark places if our minds
just when they reach we jerk
back into reality to see the blinds
have a light shining out from
Bioluminescent fish and realize that
it wants to swim to the place we come
from. when we leap and go splat
right into the middle of an endless war
from which there is no fleeing
but a sudden pain that is more
than a pain. you wake up seeing
a floor and decide never to to go
into the dream world again even
though it would mean there is no
more sleep until you are leavin'
this life in that permanent sleep

[Trialia]

This one is... kind of fanfic-poetry, but not for this fandom. Cookie for anyone who can figure it out. And no, it doesn't rhyme, but the cadence works, I think...



Laid grey, stone on stone, to the ground.
She is so pale now, gone elsewhere,
to a place you cannot follow yet.

You know she will wait.
It's what she believes
and now, because of her, you.

You'll see her there,
in a week or a month or a year.
Every day without her is harder than the last.

You see it everywhere,
that grey-green colour of her eyes,
and every sight means something -
just as everything does.

It's as she said:
"so much life," and you feel
that letting yourself fade out like this
may be a betrayal of all she wanted for you.

It doesn't help you to stop hurting,
nor help you to hang on.
Life without her is nothing.

[Ink.Knight]

Trialia: I get the feeling I should know it! But I've read so many books that it won't come to me. Care to give a hint? lol

This one just kind sprang from my fingers in that weird way creativity does.

Fears

[Trialia]

Ink: Well, it isn't a literary fandom, so that may be what's misleading you! Battlestar Galactica '03.

I like yours. It has an interesting flow to it.
