Fantastic poems all! Even the stupid ones, i love them all.
The parts that made me PARTICULARLY LMFAO were Australis' poems about DNA and E. coli!!!!!! OMG I WAS ON THE FLOOR!!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Pythoness and RevDaniel's poems were really good, and i don't think it's justified to rip into them for being "too emo" as the best poetry is heartfelt, and it's a reflection on our world that the strongest emotional feelings that have been written on are those of pain and angst. I have to say I fell into the trap of thinking dark poetry was the only sort of poetry. I have written plenty of love poems tho, a little while ago, and plenty in French. I'm also a big fan of strict rhyming schemes, although I'm kind of moving away from that now. But anyways, i've got some older ones on my hard drive which i will now tentatively post lol.
1. Frenchie one
Et ça me fait mal
Parce que je sais que j’ai tort,
Qu’il est tellement vide mon coeur.
Et que, je t’aime encore.
2.
Je me trouve ici,
Je te suivais.
Je savais pourquoi je marchais
Mais je ne sais plus.
Je me trouve,
En attendant, en pensant
A toi.
Et je vois maintenant,
Que je marchais
Avec des yeux fermés,
Et que tu ne sois pas
Tout ce que j'ai espéré.
Et c'est ce que tu es,
Un rêve, une image
Et c'est ce que je suivais,
Un rêve, une image,
Un espoir.
Et je reste l?*,
Sans bouger, sans un mot dire,
Mais je ne sais pas pourquoi je le fais,
Car tu n'es pas tout-ce que j'ai espéré.

I started climbing the tree.
I ascended higher and higher, gracefully pulling myself up from branch to branch.
I got so high.
As I got higher, the branches got thinner.
And now I find myself,
Clinging.
Clinging to the tiny branches, swaying in the wind.
I’ve come so far, the ground is so far down.
You said you didn’t love me, yet still I can’t let go.
It would be so easy to jump off this tree. But I would die.
It’s just too hard to climb down.
So I cling to the tiny top of the massive tree.
The rain pours down my face.
Where do I go now ?
I wait, I suppose… For you to see me.
4.
I don't want to say "I love you",
Because so many have said this before,
And I feel that your eyes may pass over the words,
And their true meaning you may ignore.
Therefore, what can I say to you
To truly show you how I feel?
What words can I use for you
That are unique and bear my seal?
Perhaps I could say that when you're not near,
I feel I'm dead, I feel I've been run through,
But I know that I'm alive because
My heart beats when I think of you.
Or perhaps I could say that for you i would
Reverse the rivers and streams,
So that the springs of my heart could be refilled
And I could dream you in all my dreams.
Maybe I could say that I get lost in your eyes
And I pray that I'm never found,
So that I could bathe in you soul's ocean,
And bask on your mind's ground.
So hear me when I say to you
That truth did guide this pen,
And that my love for you is carved upon my heart
Again, and again, and again.
5.
When I wash my hands with fire,
When the trees are burnt by rain,
It's only then that I'll stop dreaming about you,
No more thoughts will I entertain.
When the sea beds revolt and
The seas into my arms do they throw,
In that moment then,
Will I only let you go.
For before all this does come to pass,
Before the deserts cover the skies,
I will not know anything else in the world,
For only you shall have my eyes.
So if light should have a shadow,
Should darkness have a hue,
Come find me and cover my eyes
So I can still love you.
5. Very dark one indeed lol:
His life a precious jewel,
His youth a boundless sea.
The joy of life was his fuel
And loved earnestly.
He watched the world through wide eyes
His ideals firm and true,
He stood oblivious to the lies
Knowing what to do.
But then, slowly, he began to see
From beneath his youthful crown
He saw that the tallest, mightiest tree
Would always be cut down.
Then he began to be able to feel
The world’s enormous weight.
And pressed down to industrial steel
He feared he’d seen too late.
For he began so righteous, so very pure
And his vision clear and sound.
But the weight of the world he could not endure
And he tumbled to the ground.
But the world it did nurture him
And for all did he care
Until the weight of the world overcame him
And left him lying there.
All my other poems are WAY too long to post on here lol. People wld just get bored reading them. They are also about God and i some are tired of hearing it now

Love the French poem. I think i am the only one that can understand the words though. Thanks for posting it though.
Thanks timote, i love your work too.
i don't understand the french one, as the only thing i know how to say in french, is 'where is the toilet?" lol.
i would love a translation, if thats possible

Yeh sure, problem is, they always sound kickass in french, but pretty useless in english lol.
1.
And it hurts
Because I know that I'm wrong
That my heart is so empty
And that I still love you.
2.
I find myself here,
I was following you.
I used to know why I was walking
But I don't know anymore.
I find myself,
Waiting, thinking
About you.
And I see now,
That I was walking
With my eyes closed,
And that you may not be
All that I had hoped,
And that's what you are;
A dream, an image
And that's what I was following;
A dream, an image,
A hope.
And I stay here,
Without moving, without saying a word,
But I don't know why I do it,
Because you are not all that I had hoped you would be.

can you speak French? Translating a poem or song doesn't usually go well due to different grammars and sense of the language

i can understand your words. I lived in Toulon when i lived in France. Which parts of France have you been to?
Thanks for the translation. i'm sure it sounds wonderful in french, it is such a beautiful sounding language, and the poem is beautiful even in english, but as it has no references to where the toilet is i didn't understand a word lol.

One fine morning in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

theres nothing wrong with the darker stuff. i used to be kinda good at it. can't say that now though! i think i lost my spark.
With all the things that happen
and all the hard knocks that send u round the bend,
you feel as though ur losing
one of those battles that never end.
But sometimes life will do that
& you know this isn't very fair,
but honey put ur shoulders back
& put your haed up in the air.
Be proud of what u've made for yourself
all this was done because of you,
you are what makes ur life complete
because without ur life there'd be no you!
It's silly. i'm still a little rusty!hehe

oooooh heres my favorite poem!!! i didnt write it, anything i write ends up like trousas awesome poem roflmao
as i awoke one morning,
the earth lay cool and still,
when suddenly a tiny bird
perched on my window sill.
he sang a song so lovely,
so carefree and so gay,
that slowly all my troubles
began to slip away.
he sang of far off places,
of laughter and of fun,
it seemed his very trilling
brought up the morning sun.
i stirred beneath the covers,
crept slowly out of bed,
then gently shut the window.................
AND CRUSHED HIS F%*#ING HEAD!

I Love You
How do I begin to tell you how lucky I am
to have you in my life?
I'll start by saying what an honor it is
for me to be your wife.
You're my best friend in the good times
and my rock in times of sorrow.
You're the reason for sweet yesterdays
and my promise for tomorrow.
I never thought I could feel this loved
until I became your wife.
You made this year and every year
the best one of my life.
Love always.
