Poems

They do? All of them? Wow, heh

Just read the last two pages...and I liked what I read..I'm not going to comment on each one individually because I am lazy...:p

Two I wrote in the last week or so..

This one I wrote in about ten minutes..

"Looking Out My Window"

Looking out the window
In a city filled with strangers
Filled with people meaning nothing to me
All I can see is emptiness
The streets lined with sidewalks
Houses and lofts
Apartments and garbages
Asphalt below me
In this city
Waiting for some beauty
Everyday as I look out my window
Telling myself any day now
Waiting for her
Looking out my window
Waiting for her
The window to my heart
Leading to every other part
Of my body and soul
Void and now a hole
Leaving me to look out the window
Waiting for her to love me
Waiting for my baby
In the meantime the streets remain barren
Docile and uncaring
Void of emotions
Waiting like a flood the size of the oceans
To enter my heart and give it something
Because right now I have nothing
Waiting for a signal from her
To see if she cares
If she can even see that far
Into my heart
Realizing that it's deeper than the Pacific
Grander than the Stars
Bigger than the universe
And it's all for her
But I don't think she can see it
Until then, I'll be waiting
Looking out my window


"Loving You"

Through the fires that burn beside us
In the world of pain and misery
Something always comes to me
And takes it all away
Makes it all okay
Love from my lady
My baby
Bringing mercy to a soul in need
Taking away all that harms me
Making everything seem so lovingly everyday
So heavenly

The light hits your eyes
Makes them sparkle like the night sky
Takes the darkness out of night time
Makes anytime the right time
To be loving you

The sound of your voice
Is like singing to my ears
Soothing the saddest tears
I could spend a thousand years
Loving you

The world beside me
Falls around behind me
Taking life after life
And leaves me realizing
What it is inside me
That keeps me going
And that's your love
Taking hit after hit
Bloody nose and busted lip
Broken bones and messed up hip
Coming home to you
Makes it all worth it
Because your love will always heal me
Gives me the strength to keep going

The feel of your breath on me
Gives me a feeling that you'll always love me
Something so heavenly
Has got me saying
I will always love you

I see you in my dreams
It's as if it seems
Fate is telling me
That I should be
Always loving you

Take my hand
And dance with me
Pull your body close to me
And listen to my heart beat
And realize that you love me
Look into my eyes
And realize
That I will always be there for you
That I wont let anything hurt you
I'm the man that's perfect for you
And dance with me
Into the moon light
Of a night that lasts forever
Forever loving you

wow, i actually had tears in my eyes. *sniffles* thats really good roog, really emotional (in a good way)

Aww... Roog that second poem is so nice yet so sad. Very well written.

EDIT: Damit I double-posted! Sorry about that

Wasn't going to post this one but y'know. I'm not sure if it's finished yet... but I wrote these three verses and just nothing else would come. Who knows.. maybe it is finished, I'd like to write but just can't seem to. I thought up the whole poem on the way to work on the bus the other day... had to make sure I memorised it for when I got home so I could write it down, heh.

25/1/06
Turning in the night
I feel my lover, warm
A symphony of delight
Embraced by my loves form

I open up my eyes
To gaze upon my love
As his body deeply sighs
Content, we're up above

Embraced by my lover
The hours drift away
I could never love another
And so I'm here to stay

That's a beautiful poem Becca, coming along very nicely.

Thankyou Pat :) I appreciate it, glad you like it.

I must agree with kintaru...Very nice..:cheese:

Don't I know it Roog. ;)

And you're welcome my love.

Hehe, thanks Roog =)

thats exellent!

man, i gotta stop reading these, i always get so teary eyed, like this
--->:emo:

hehe, aww... well there's nothing wrong with getting teary eyed at poems. To me it just means that a poems good if it can inspire such emotion, so thankyou :)

Hey, Roog! You should put those poems into use, because they're really good, man! And by "use" I mean poetry contests. And this goes for a lot others on this thread as well.

:p

....Hey, Azzy! Really like the last one. = )

Thanks Sonique, I really appreciate it. Glad you like it =)

awws ^^ *tears up* Its amazing Azerane, you are very talented, I have a question for you

Does your school (if you are in one) Run a newspaper? Mine does and they allow you to put your stuff into the paper (poems, stories, etc) ^^

and I put mine, just wanted to know if you did xP

Thanks so much KTL. And to answer your question, our school didn't have a newspaper, my school was only very small. We had a fortnightly newsletter but that wasn't for that sort of thing. So I never had any poems put in anything. And now even if my school had a newspaper I couldn't put them in because I'm finished school, hehe.

Thank you Sonique...and I tried to enter one, but it was too long...I'll have to make a shorter one and enter it into a contest...:cheese:

New one from me..."Message"

Can you hear the rain
Raining down from the clouds above
giving love to the ground below
Hoping that things will grow
Giving it time to sow
the seeds of time and good deeds
Living life like we need the peace
Instead of the disease we call industry and money
Hoping things will be good someday
But until then murder seems to be here to stay
Wars come and go like it's a game
Played for the richest and the name
of the religion you speak and praise
But when will love be here to take it's place
I don't know, let's just end the craze
Bring together every race
And make this a better place
To raise our childen like we care again
But instead I hear the sounds of death
Getting louder as the sickness spreads
Killing and murder will never rest
As we fight to keep our heads
Hoping to forget the past
Like there's a pill we can take to end it fast
But the first step is in our backyards
Where things tend to be backwards
Down right ugly copped by bastards
Can't seem to get a break to rest us
As the life of the slums test us
And oppress us into thinking we can make it
But instead the money we earn is taken
And we will never see it again
Instead you see it in the richest's porches
Four course meals while there's people starving
Twenty thousand dollar pocket watches
Why do we spend like this
Time to remember why we have to stop this
And stop to look at our reflection
And let the light in
And love like we know what it's like again
Hoping to get things right again
Every life has a part in this
We just have to take the action
To lead ourselves in the right direction
Better vote in the next election
The last time we learned our lesson
Now we got to send the message
that we must stand up and make a difference
No more excuses in this
Let's change the future with this
And it all starts with our own consciences

Nice message in that one Roog, I completely understand why you called it Message, hehe. Good stuff as always.

I made a christmas poem.
Sorry if it's stupid

Oh I just go nuts at christmas,
no, I really go insane,
temporary state,
but you'll meet your fate
if you see me christmas day.

thats good!

I wrote this poem after seeing an anti-war demonstration I saw at school today. A bunch of them were holding up signs with pictures of soldiers on them with the word murderer underneath it. That really annoyed me, and so, here ya go.

Our Soldier

A million picket signs,
And millions more chanting.
This lack of patriotism, I swear,
Is really quite disenchanting.

Hate the war,
Not the warrior.
For he performs a noble civic duty,
Yet some still call him a murderer.

I?ve been to the buildings,
At a time before they fell.
And I?ve been to them afterwards,
That place was worse than hell.

This nation had to do something,
And though many question why.
I?d rather have half the nation hate the other,
Than do nothing and watch thousands of more innocents die.

Whether this fight is right or wrong,
That is not my call to make.
But to sit idly by and it happen again..
That, my friend, would be a fatal mistake.

Where the sun is hot,
And the barrels are hotter.
Brave men and women die,
And become cannon fodder.

But it takes a great deal of bravery and honor,
To climb up over your dead brother.
And continue to fight on,
For they?re still protecting all our mothers.

And so I feel I must plead,
That whatever you do.
Please, support your soldier,
Cause he?ll die for you.

- _ - I feel ya, Kintaru. Commendable poem mate! :hugs:

Thank you! :D

Very nice poem, Kintaru...and I fully agree.

"In the Verses"

Days into the weeks of years in the centuries
My soul has been around since the beginning
Listening to the pains of man
Caused by the hand of his brotheren
Hoping to love again
But instead there's even more that are dead
Wars as each other are shot in the head
Gone is the God that lead it all to this end
The love, is it there or is it all just hidden
War is just the beginning

You got wars on the other side of the world
Wars in your backyards
War on drugs got the country swinging backwards
Gang violence taking over our worlds
Scarring the things we hold dear
Killing family members
taking friends that we've known for years
Tears gone empty after the first pearce
When your ears heard those famliar words
"Shot in the head, didn't have a chance"
Violence
Streaks across the land in a deadly silence
Stabbing hearts a thousand times
As it takes a thousand lives all in one night
Gone and out of sight in a second
Leaving behind a legacy of death
And it lives in your head until one day it splits it open
Breaking your brain and leaving nothing
Soul bender taking and raping all hope all together
As you wait to see the end of this bad weather
In a land of the mild mannered, love hating slander
Of a perivial mind bender silenced by the death of another
Murder doesn't speak, it's thunderous
Shaking the skins of all around in it's circumference
Breaking the distance of the surrounding living citizens
To see what they witness in the cities caressed in violence

There's a message in the verses
I so violently converse in this
Can you hear it or are you deaf to it
Listen up
Before the words are lost
Hear
Before you forget the cause
Because
In a second all could be gone
And all you would have left is just your idol thoughts

The streets are cracking from the heat
Placed upon them in the wars that they breed
The war is in our cities
Not in countries that we can't speak the language
The land of the rich is the land of the poverty
Where streets are battle grounds to want and greed
taking lives caught up in the middle of it
The heat boiling blisters on the innocent
In an instant, many lives could be ended
Blown to pieces my the pieces that we carry with us
taken to bed with us as we let it lie on our consciouses
No innocence when there's no peace in the land that we live
gone is the dream that we said we would give our kids
When the violence pulls them in and corrupts the family unit
That is suppost to be their net in such a cirumstance
Instead we got kids living as gangstas
Because that's the only place they can get some love from
When Dad's gone and Mom's never home
When the sound of guns is something you fall asleep to
And in the morning "I see dead people" is said with some truth

There's a message in the verses
I so violently converse in this

"I Spy"

I see with my little eye
Attempted Suicide
Criminal minds
Lurking to take a life
Looking to make you cry
Walking homocide
Talking like you try
But in a moments time
You run and try to hide
It's just like
You afraid to confront what lies

In my heart
there's two enemies at war
Tearing apart
What was love before
The good
And the bad
taking on the past
Replaying all my wars
And taking all I had
From the roof to the floors
Opening all my doors
In my heart
there's two enemies at war

I spy with my little eye
Domestic violence
Noises in the silence
Permanent mindset
Like it's accepted
She can't help it
It's a head trip
mind games
Got your head ripped
Hooked on the acid
Of the romantic, two-faced addict

I see with my perfect vision
The anger inside me
the things that i dream
the things that i see
The pain that it brings
And it just ignites me
Burns the fires inside me
Hurts the love that guides me
making life horrifying
When the things that i dream
Soon become what I see

In my heart
there's two enemies at war
Tearing apart
What was love before
The good
And the bad
taking on the past
Replaying all my wars
And taking all I had
From the roof to the floors
Opening all my doors
In my heart
there's two enemies at war

I lost my emotion
Cost of the motion
Violent ocean
City of tucson
Where there's two suns
One in the morning
And one looking for me
Hoping to hook and hold me
Took the old me
Molded my soul sea
to change what I should see
And added the violently
Disturbing acts that haunt my dreams
Can't escape sleep
And the sight of my enemies
When they're inside me
Sleeping and hiding
Waiting to awake
At the first sign I hide within me
Sleeping, Waiting, to get inside my memory
Until it's a part of me
And that's the start of me
No more love will be inside of me
After the war with my enemies...

wow. *is blown away*..wow.

roog, send these to a publisher or a contest. like now.

Thank you very much....I sent this to a poetry contest...:cheese:

Did you know that the light of your eyes
Casts the perfect shade of light on my life
From your brown eyes I couldn't sleep last night
Because I imagined looking into them at all times
When I see diamonds I am reminded
that I have one in my life
All the other gems are jealous
of the beauty of my find
Because your beauty is unimagined
The work of the most romantic words
Thought up in every romantic verse
Cohersed into something so beautifully heard
Causes me to utter the words
left unspoken to any other girl
I love you

have they given you your results yet??? good luck! not that you need it:p

And I have yet to hear anything back about the contest...:cheese:

Good luck there, Roog! :)

Just to add : ( http://www.poetry.com/welcome/welcome.asp ) A good site to remember by.

Hey...that's were I entered my poem...:D

wow, poetry.com? that will win an originality award hands down :D

Sep 05 & 15/2/06

The night has come
but the stars are nowhere to be found
and so the moon is lonely
As am I

To lay beneath the sky
bathed in rays so soft and soothing
my mind is at rest
I wait

A million miles
a million stars I cannot see
a place that?s home to you
But not to me

Just one breath
and the night is forever
an expanse of emptiness
And loneliness

Oh precious time
whatever happened to those slow, lazy days
when nothing ever mattered
Save for him

So goodnight
the sweet moon will take care of me
i?ll release my dreams for you
And only you

The moon and I
we travel to worlds so distant
yet the sky never changes
Lost and gone

I will return
just as sure as the sun will rise
so I will return to you
My everything

Do not cry for me
my heart may seem so lifeless
yet I still feel for you
I live

15/2/06

My love went to sea on a crimson boat
Void of all wood and tar,
He took with him my treasure
At his own bold leisure
Not seeing what we two are;

On oceans salty and on oceans sweet
He sailed all the earth,
Swabbing pulsing decks dismay
As lost hearts ran away
A bleeding mess of his worth;

The journey sailed was long and arduous
One to be reckoned by,
But my love did not achieve
What wished my heart recieve
Stole his crimson ship awry;

An eternal curtain of red water
Drip, dropping slowly down

...kinda got bored with it after that, just couldn't get it to work out the way I wanted it to. The stanza length I wanted just didn't want to work with the rhythm. So it's crappy, though I do like it as it is different from my other poems. Wanted to write something less straighfoward and more metaphorical, hehe... but it's kinda silly :p

I wrote this about WWI. Post what you like about it, or what you don't like. Or don't post anything. I dunno, I just hope you read it.

At War

I step onto the battlefield; my heart is beating fast
My throat is tight because I know this day might be my last.
My eyes are dark and weary; my face is caked in blood
Several days will feel like months in trenches dug in mud.

Although I?m only a young lad, I?m fighting here in France
Will I ever make it back? Maybe there?s a chance.
I?ve found it helps not to think of what I?ve left behind
But I?ll never erase them; they?ll be always on my mind.

I?m woken up by gunshots; they still ring as I rest
But sometimes I must stay awake; it really is a test.
I know just why I?m fighting, I know that I shall die
Whether I shall be shot down or I?ll burn like a guy.

I know I?m fighting for my king and my great country, yes
But I really wish I was at home, where I won?t be shot to death.
And then, armed with a rifle, came a stupid Fritz
He aims straight for my best mate, and bloody hell, it hits.

I then bring up my pistol and shoot him in the head
He tries to duck but he?s too slow, I grin and he is dead.
The grin then fades straight from my face as I realise what I?ve done
I have killed an enemy, yes, I have killed a Hun.

I?ve killed a man about my age, it?s like I?ve killed myself,
And for the first time I witness a death.
I go from pleasure to sorrow, I?m crying more and more,
I really feel I know this now,
This thing that we call war.

Wow Azerane and Monai awesome poems!!

Something I just started writing today... it's called Afraid of the Dark, but I don't seem to have gotten to the fear part yet, lol.. anyway, here it is..

Afraid of the Dark
21/2/06

Shadows embracing the corners
Where golden fingers dare not pry
The light unable to reach so deep
The darkness plays eye-spy

Yet never do the shadows reach
Beyond their corner lairs
Blistering sunlight keeps them at bay
Busy with life?s affairs

Though as the sun turns a corner
Shadows embrace the world,
A blanket of chill darkness
Around all objects curled

Azerane and Monai, very nice! :cheese:

Very nice, Azerane and Monai. I like good poems about War and all. Azerane, when are you going to finish your Fear poem?..:cheese:

New one I wrote a few days ago...

"Someday We'll Meet"

A cure for my loneliness
Lies in the arms of a woman
But that woman is not present here at the moment
And my loneliness conquers my enviroment
Where is this woman meant to end all of this
I want to meet her and thank her for giving me love
And love her because that's what a real man does
A real man doesn't love em and leave em and cheat on his Baby
He stays true to her and loves her because she completes him unlike so many
The final piece to the puzzle meant to endure this struggle
My baby meant to cure and pop the bubble
My life ain't nothin' but trouble and I try to come out on top
But sometimes it becomes hard, when a friend is shot and killed on the Boulevard
The life we live can leave so many scars, so many friends behind bars
But I never got caught up in the game
the struggle's enough to test my patients
As long as I got my baby, I can endure and make it
But that leaves me asking, where is she
I hope that one day she reads this, and realizes
that she's the one meant to be with me and live with no more loneliness
Who knows, maybe she already knows me and she doesn't know it yet
And fate conspires to make us one one day
It can come out that way, maybe, I'll have to wait and see
Wait for her, I'll wait for centuries, until history mentions me
And I'm a figure of some inportance in society
Instead of living trying to get by with my nine to five
trying to live my life as my friends die, hoping to survive
The struggle that takes over our lives
And makes getting successful even more of a prize
Because when you have nothing, everything is something to gain
Love being the first thing, Got it down on my wish list
Hoping to find a woman to make that list complete by saying yes
When I ask to be married to her for life, for eternity
Always loving, asking her for something as big as marriage and to stay true to me
I'll give her the heart that I carry
My life for hers any day, but always hoping that things never turn that way
For me, because I never want to see my Baby in pain
Please God, if someone has to die, please let it be me
I have no fear of what the next life will bring
Because I hope by then that the love of my Baby will bring the best out of me
If it ever came down to something like this, My life to save hers
I would take the gun and end mine in an instant, so please don't take hers
Because that's how much she would mean to me
So if you're out there, Baby, I hope that someday we'll get to meet...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

A newer one...I'm not too sure about it...

*no title yet*

I hear the children crying
As I'm living in the time
I am spending here on earth
I have no idea why
The children cry
Maybe they need to be heard

Baby boy born a bastard
Father left last year
After he heard his wife was pregnant and wanted to give birth
He was too young to be a father or give a ****
Because that's what happens when kids have kids
Now what's a young mother to do
No job, no education, and family wont help you
Adoption's not an option
Because you want to keep your son
Two lives ended before they begun
Poverty has claimed another one
A mother and son
Maybe the strength the father didn't have
Will be in the creation of the fling you had
And he'll be more of a man
than the man he has never met

I hear the children crying
As I'm living in the time
I am spending here on earth
I have no idea why
The children cry
Maybe they need to be heard

Gunfire fills the air we breathe
Mommy and daddy something bad is happening
But Daddy is gone now, he was shot dead on the streets
Just like your older brother was last week
And Mommy's addicted to cocain
Things don't matter to her because she needs her fix
And for that she'll do anything
You both go shopping, but not for groceries
That's where she makes her purchases
But this time she was busted
That's the last you'll ever see of her
Because in jail she commited suicide
Seven years old and this is your life
You now belong to the state
Because you ran out of parents and family

I hear the children crying
As I'm living in the time
I am spending here on earth
I have no idea why
The children cry
Maybe they need to be heard

Twelve years old and your Mom just got a new man to hold
One night things got a little heated
arguements lead to a beating and it now happens weekly
Her head is bleeding
Doors kicked in and things are broken
She's too afraid to call the cops because that may make his bubble pop
Fear is non-stop
One day things go a little too far
He's standing over her with a crowbar
And ready to swing and break things in her body
Adrenaline runs through and you got to act quickly
Knives in the second shelf of the kitchen
Take the biggest one and stab him in the back before he swung
Blood coming out his lungs and his life is done
No one won because in the end the only thing gained is the results of the violence

Very very nice LR :) I liked both.. especially the last one... heres from me.. inspired by a special someone...

my hand upon cheek,
eyes burn passionately
your body, soft, weak

your breath washing me away,
essence pouring over me
losing me througout the day

you, I embrace
held close,
face to face

i speak from day, to night.. to day,
but to you these words,
I love you, I'd gladly say

Hands begin to tremble
eyes gazing still,
my courage does assemble

slowly i fall, down to kneel
words clustered together in mind,
to express, which ways I feel

your hand held tight,
words formed in mind,
a small box.. appears in sight

looking up to see your face,
gazing in awe..
opening up case..

A smile now forming
gently, inviting warming.

Will you?
Blushing, Smiling...
Willingly, I do.

Really nice poems Rood and KTL

Though I'm not so sure what you're talking about there Roog... which one is that? :confused:
