Place Your Poetry Here!

[Angel]

Wow, just...wow...you guys are amazing! =D Here is mine...I'm not sure what you lot will think of it, but it's not really inspired by or based on anything. It just came out of me =)

Ocean

It wasn't right,
What you did to me.
Who said I had to know?
Who said I have to see?
I sought this knowledge
Yes, it's true
I fought my battles
I made it through.

Yet still I find you haunting
Yet still I find you dreaming
Still I find that in the moonlight
You are softly gleaming.

Bound by chains
In an emerald isle
Wracked by your breathing,
Torn by your smile.
Did you ever mean to say it?
Did you ever mean to lie?
I cannot say a word to you,
For fear that I should cry.

Yet still you feel so haunting
Still I feel I'm dreaming
Still I find that in the twilight,
Everything is gleaming.

Your words have the power to mangle
Your eyes have the quality of dusk
I'd give up my sojourning
For one little piece of trust.
This is no game of checkers,
No sport of lose or win.
To fall apart in light, my heart,
I think, would be a sin.

The things that once were tender
The words, once oh-so-sweet,
Have not yet lost their timbre
Yet in darkness, they are fleet.
Hold me near, brush away my tear.
Know that with light,
My hope shall return.
If I do not freeze, my love,
Then know, my heart will burn.

College-Level Lecture Worksheet

My brain feels full to bursting
My head's gonna explode
I think I'm going crazy
Cramming info in every node

It's a college-level lecture
And a worksheet to boot
And I'm only in high school
And I couldn't give a hoot

But it's what I've got for homework
It's what I've gotta do
It's when I'm making stuff up
It's when I've got the 'tude

Brain is frying
Cells are dying
Someone is sayin'
"You're goin' insayyayayne"

It's a college-level lecture
For a high school kid
College-level headaches
For someone who did
Not enough prep and
Not enough work
Or maybe it's because
Whoever wrote this is a jerk...
And it's my homework...
He is a jerk...
My... home... work...

[Cress]

Ok, I don't think this poem is very good. Well I think it has the potential to be good if I polish it up and figure out if I want it to rhyme or not. Cause this right here...pure emotion. Personally I think that's the best poetry.
Three's A Charm

I held back
at first
and lost all that might be
I was afraid and confused
Now I'm just in pain
But once I realized who you were
I offered everything out to you
I held my heart and hoped that you would too
I hoped and prayed you would accept
Please, just simply say yes to me
And for a moment
You said you would
You took a piece
Like I knew you could
And inspected it
As if to keep
You decided the cost was far too much
And said "I just can't try"
And that tiny piece of my fragile heart
was crushed to dust that would never heal
And now I was afraid again
But hope rose still within me
Maybe...
Just
A
Mistake
So I held my breath and bared my soul
And held up my heart again
I thought this time
you might agree
Instead
Just a repeat
More powder of my breaking heart
Spilt across my shoes
But please,
Dear God,
Just let him say
"I love you, I love you too,"
Three's a charm
Three words
Three hopes
Three nights I coped
Three times I tried
Please just say yes this time
Slowly,
Hesitantly
I offer myself up
A smile upon my face
But deep below
my cringing soul
is frightened in barren waste

And this time not just a piece
You took me whole
My heart and mind and even sould
And snapped it all in a jagged two
One half remains to love you still
It cries and breaks when you walk by
Yet the other half could not survive
It shriveled up and slowly dies
Yes,
Three's a charm
Three words
Three hopes
Three nights I coped
Three times I tried
to let it work
But most of all
Three splits go through
my cracked and bleeding
Broken heart

[Shandurai]

That is so so good. I agree, Cress, that pure emotion, no matter how small can write the best poem. Also, I know how you feel Artemis, sometimes, I don't know what schools are thinking! And Angel, don't worry, people loved yours too!!

As I sit and watch the moon,
Glowing in the sky,
I begin to wonder just how fast,
Life can pass you by,

And this darkness in the sky,
Causes me to wonder why,
We are here at all.

And the brightness of the day,
Can show you how to find the way,
Through the dark times of your life,
Times of suffering, of pain, of strife.

The road is long and hard to walk,
And all we ever hear is talk,
Of how hard it is follow,
How hard it is to walk,

As twilight dawns and darkness falls,
Once again we see it all,
The Moon and stars are in the sky,
Watching calmly as Life goes by,
As we watch and wonder why.
All of life just passes by.

OK, i have one. It was for school and it sucks but whatever, i like it. It's called a sensory poem!

Sorrow is blue
It sounds like rain
It smells like mums
It tastes like poison
It looks like a crying face
Sorrow feels like a cold empty space

[Shandurai]

Hey Ezra! No, it doesn't suck, it's great and I like it! Especially the dark feeling... I want to try one!

k, here goes...

waiting is a backround noise
it sounds like the clock
it smells like the ocean beating on the dock
it tastes bitter and strangled
though it looks slightly better
it feels covered up,
because we're all waiting together

so, was it pretty much following yours?
you're a really good writer!

These ones are for school also, Language Arts acutally...

Until Morning

around the walls he crawls, slunk low
black as night his skin unshown
against the silhouetted night he has grown

up on the wall he sits alone
against pale rays he is finally shown
unaccompanied but for his shadowed clone

until morning he sits alone


Sunrise is Lonely

Sunrise is lonely
quiet and clear
how crisp the leaves look
gently lifting their ears

Sunset is lonely
melancholy hues
as the world goes to sleep
beathing purples and blues

Dreams

Darkness Defing
light is crying
but know one can save them.....

Untitled

As I sit here,
With razor in hand, shaking;
and I remember,
what They did to me.
While I sit at the table,
food in my hands,
They come over,
those who torment me daily.
With gleaming smiles, and wicked eyes.
I try to ignore Them, as they laugh,
pushing Their jeering faces into mine.
Calling names, pushing, shoving,
Hate.
Adrenaline coursing through me,
I jump up with anger and sadness
trying to hurt Them. make Them feel
like me. As the principal comes,
with bodyguards; people in blue suits,
I realize what I have done, that I
have become what I hate most.
A bully.

I got bored on one exceptionally long car ride and came up with this and a few other things, but this was probably the best. Still, it's not great, but whatever.

The Mirror

Looking into the mirror
I see a reflection others do not.
Every flaw, every imperfection,
stands out like blood in clear waters.
The scars uncovered for all to see
the tarnish of my life open
to the eyes of the world
through my own eyes
gazing into the mirror.

[Shandurai]

That was beautiful... really really beautiful. It sort of exposes all of our hidden flaws. I like it... Have you considered entering at poetry.com ?

-Dai, Shandurai

[Angel_Star]

Thanks.

I dunno. I have one of my poems up there and ended up getting it published and apparently in some recording thing... *shrug* Don't know how that worked out, 'cause I wasn't about to pay the tons of money for the book or the...whatever.

So yeah, I dunno if I'm gonna put it in. I might. Derno.
