Show your poems

[RevDaniel]

hey all,
After chatting on the APS chat forum, i thought that since so many people have said they have written poems. I think anybody with poems should post them.
Feel free to show your poems, doesnt mater what they are about, just would be nice to read poemns from some of the poets from APS

 

[RevDaniel]

Today when I looked into the eyes of the portrait you left behind
I could see the aura from your soul and as I read the patterns of your heart
Never could I understand what you meant by the words silently cried out to me
When I think about it you did try to warn me but I did not want to know
Can I forgive myself for being so ignorant to the pictures that you drew for me
Now all I have left is the wonder about the way things might have been
I am so sorry that I thought that I knew what was best for you
I realize that I am so very weak when I thought that I was strong
Could we ever have been accepted together
The people that said they cared where really be thinking something else
No matter what they said I loved you all the same
Accepting that you might go will be the hardest thing that I will ever do
Even if you leave you are always with me
If only I could have this last kiss goodbye
Allow me to hold you in my arms once more for all the times we will miss
Words cannot express my love or the love that I would miss
May the tears I cry carry our love away to a better place
The back of beyond diminishes far away into the sky
I have been given this one last token from the powers above
You come back into my life
I come to realize that our destinies are entwined
I do not know how to tell you that I do love you without scaring you away
The journey we may face would not be easy but we could make it work.
I would leave everything behind if you where to come with me
All I want to say to you is that I ask that you give this a try

poem

Great poems Recharge, did you write it?

 

[pythoness]

Though i may never see your face again,
or feel that touch that made me swoon.
we will always have that one cold night,
beneath the liar's moon.

Not mine of course, but these lyrics are always in my head:

In the pale azured dawn like Ligeia reborn
I tore free of my sleep - sepulchre
On the sea misted lawn where stone figures, forlorn
lamented the spectre of her
Bewildered and weak, yet with passion replete
I hungered for past overtures
The curse of unrest and her ardent caress
Came much more than my soul could endure.

And another...

Pearled Luna, what spell didst thou cast on me?
Her icy kiss fervoured my neck
like whispering waves 'pon Acherons beach
In a whirl of sweet voices and statues
that phantomed the dying trees
This debauched seductress in black, took me...

I sure did.

 

[nook171]

once you left i was there to speak
of all the times we were to meet
as now you have gone i am left alone
only to hear you in my sleep

i just made that up on the spot
so it aint that good

another poem

I did not write this poem but found it on the net. I feel my heart murmour when i read it.


A boy and a girl
The best of friends
From elementary to high school
From beginning to end

Through all these years
Their friendships grew
They both felt the same
But neither knew



Each waking moment
Since the day they met
They both loved each other
Sunrise to sunset

He was all she had
In her terrible life
He was the one
Who kept her from her knife

She was his angel
She made him smile
Though life threw him curves
She made it worth all the while

Then one day
Things went terribly wrong
The next few weeks
Where like a very sad song

He made her jealous
On purpose he tried
When the girl asked “do you love her"
On purpose he lied

He played with jealousy
Like it was a game
Little did he know
That things would never be the same

His plan was working
But he had no clue
How terribly wrong things would go
The damage he would do

One night she broke down
Feeling very alone
Just her and the blade
No one else home

She dialed his number
He answered "hello"
She told him she loved him
Then hung up the phone

He raced to her house
But came a minute too late
Found her lying in blood
And her heart had no rate

Beside her was a note
And in it her confession
Her love for this boy
Her only obsession

As he read the note
He knelt down and cried
Grabbed her knife
And that night they both died

She was found in his arms
Both of them dead
Under her note
His handwriting said

"I loved her so
She never knew
All this time
I loved her too"

 

[noni]

Molten blue bubbling from the core of the earth
Breathing deep, fingers of furious foam rise
The ultramarine desert bares her teeth in wrath
Clutching my hair and stinging my eyes

Rain clouds eclipse the sun and land
Ashen and sober where sky and sea meet
She threatens to take me by the hand
To dark silentness at her feet

But instead thrusts me high above her head
Born anew, cold, gasping for air
Her serpentine skin to the wind is shed
Poison kisses on my cheeks wet and bare

Her salty venom on my lips is ready
Bruised skies darken and long shadows loom
I fall down her throat and into her belly
To sleep forever in her sapphire womb

Crash and roar and thunder and din
While curled like paper under her heart
Fades to a whisper that strokes my skin
Her foe defeated and torn apart

In this dark and ghostly soundless cave
She kisses me as a lover might
On lifeless lips no man can save
As I drift gently into night.

thanks wichita.
yep you may have heard of the liar's moon. it's where the moon is veiled behind misty clouds, and forbidden lovers hide from the cold glare of the baleful eye of the dissaproving lovers moon.

Not mine of course, but these lyrics are always in my head:

In the pale azured dawn like Ligeia reborn
I tore free of my sleep - sepulchre
On the sea misted lawn where stone figures, forlorn
lamented the spectre of her
Bewildered and weak, yet with passion replete
I hungered for past overtures
The curse of unrest and her ardent caress
Came much more than my soul could endure.

I, at once endeavoured to see Her again
Stirring from midnight's inertia
Knowing not even her name
On a thin precipice over carnal abyss
I danced like a blind acolyte
Drunk on red wine, her dead lips on mine
Suffused with the perfume of night

Pearled Luna, what spell didst thou cast on me?
Her icy kiss fervoured my neck
like whispering waves 'pon Acherons beach
In a whirl of sweet voices and statues
that phantomed the dying trees
This debauched seductress in black, took me...

In a pale azured dawn like Ligeia reborn
I tore free of my sleep - sepulchre
On the sea misted lawn where stone figures, forlorn
Lamented the spectre of Her
Bewildered and weak, yet with passion replete
I hungered for past overtures
The curse of unrest and her ardent caress
Came much more than my soul could endure....

Poem i wrote when i was 17

The silent screams of the endless nights
Echoes through the mist
Searching for an escape
Delirious about the truth
Oblivious about the lies
I am at war
My enemy I do not know
The terror it brings
The wisdom it shows
The anger of the rose
As it slaughters each sacrificial day
Are fought by many tribes and races
Each to their own way
The twilight of the rose
Dwells on my limited ways
Like an emotion of a weeping bird
Dying a slow pain full death
At last all the loneliness inside has finally been laid to rest
The unanswered questions blur my mind
A thousand arrows pierce the sky
My soul will perish as I am an exemption by the one above
Though all the tears of sorrow shed for me
Have not gone astray
At last I have been set free
My soul has been laid to rest
To roam this world in a final fantasy
