POETRY CORNER

[SYN Ashley]

I figured that I would create a thread dedicated to poets, or artists who want to showcase their talents.
So, feel free to post anything and everything in here, as long as it complies with the forum rules of course.

I suppose I could start.

Here goes nothing...

Dim the Lights...

attach sentiment to your heart yet call it sin
write words out on paper and call it preparation
is this really what you claim to begin?

there's a stampede of raging elephants going on inside your
little frame of what you call a body

it makes me sick

pack all your things...
and call it a night
im so tired of being tired
stop soaking up all the light
its dark in here
and im lonely

and all i want
is a little more time
to waste
with you

"its all relative baby. trust me."
all the slander they say...
they say about you

it will be over soon,
i can promise you that
the speeches are reaching climax
and the lights are going out
all over manhattan

[Romance]

I didn't write this but its from one of my favorite stories, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

To my wine I sing
of the times of peace,
when officers shall not make calls at the door.
The ruler is bright and virtuous,
His ministers loyal and trustworthy.
Abiding by propriety and courtesy,
The people have no cause for lawsuits.

From three years of farming, nine years of stores,
The granaries overflow with grains –
While the elderly have no need to labour.
Rainfall is abundant and of proper time,
The myriad of crops a great harvest yields.
From the highways are pulled back mighty steeds,
Their manure used to fertilize the fields.

From dukes down to viscounts,
all love the common people,
demoting the unworthy, raising up the good –
As fathers and brothers they nurture the people.
Those who defy the law
are punished according to the severity;
though none is so selfish as to take roadside property.
The jails are all empty,
and on Solstice day.

All live to eighty or ninety,
and pass away only of old age.
The ruler’s compassion touches all creatures equally.

-Cao Cao

[Lethal Frostie]

also here's something I came up with for myself. It was Random lol it's probably corney though here goes....

"Only True Art"

Only True Art comes from within

Only True Art can come from the heart

Only True Art can make you

Only True Art gives you that urge to fight

Only True Art will make you who you are

Only True Art..........

Written By: Lethal Frostie

Sorry it's so short but it's all I came up with for myself to encourage me to continue drawing my pictures.

I love the poem Actuashley it's cool i love people who can write wonderful poetry and your one of the best I think! ^_^

Thank you very much.

It means a lot to feel recognized.

Here's another:

Entranced by one glance
Of reflections of a creature
With twisted features
Upon this mirror
Beaded with sweat and tears

I am seeing the real thing
Breathing you in and out
Figuring out
Why it is that I stumble
I'm breaking down again

Bottled up emotions
I'm getting tripped up on words
Forgetting to breathe
Just wanting to be
Remembered
Stuttering

I'm staring into nothingness
Barely moving
Dreaming about dreams
Living without being
Really trying to get you to notice me

Stare into me.
Fall into me.

I want to trap you.
Encase you inside my arms.
I want to be vulnerable.

Forgotten memories
Late night promiscuity
I want to be loved

Breathing.
Ending.
This poem is done.

i like this.

 

[sasuke]

i want to put one up.


don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do.
You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

i took this from a friend

 

[TheRainman67]

My father doesn't bother, to write or contact me.
I wonder what the reason is for him not wanting me.
I thought you, said you cared. You left me here little,
alone, and scared, I would have been much better off.
If you had stayed over here with me. Instead of saying
those things you said, I worked, so hard not to care. I just
feel so sad, lonely, and blue If only you knew all the things
I been through. I'm sure it would have tempted you with a
reason to stay, all you left me was a chill. Now my heart
is empty still. Was it so hard to love your child? I'm sure you
had to leave the state. I hope you know you made my fate.
My fate of not feeling worthly of love. So if I ever see you
again, I'll read you the title of this poem, I'll turn the other way and say,
My Father doesn't bother.

my dad left me when i was born.... im not a charity case but this is one of my better poems thats not to hardcore

[TheRainman67]

Killers are quiet, liars always loud
When it all stops, when it all ends
None of you will count
Hell waits for all who don't defend

PAIN I'm inferior
I'll hide those ------- scars
RAGE exterior
Dreams ripping you apart

HELL I used to be like you
Arrogant, liar, ignorant, cruel
I'll Pull you apart!
As the bloodied tears lie to you all

BREATH! SEVERED! DREAM!
LYING LOVE, UNHOLY MURDER
IF YOU CAN'T SEE ME ALL THE BETTER
DON'T TRY TO FIGHT, I'LL HOLD TIGHTER

Only the quiet ones understand
Only the listeners can tell the tale
Only the watchers see past the mask
ONLY THE LIARS WILL PAY



one of my more extreme poems....if it violates anything tell me and ill remove lol i think i took out the bad parts
