    I don't write songs
    I write entire life times
    Because I've lived enough times
    To know the right lines
    And every girls got code
    For me to know
    And to type out in bold
    In fold is the lyrics of her heart
    Explaining her every part
    and why she cries
    to why her heart dies
    and it's my job
    to dycipher the words
    of her heart...

    hehe

    ^Sorry '04, yeah that kinda got outta hand.

    Now it's time for some of my real poems... These two I don't really like a great deal but they're ok, the poems I really like are more personal, hehe, but these ones don't really have any meaning to me at the moment so they're not so personal, but yes... anyway, poems.

    2nd August. 05 Reflection

    To look in a mirror
    I see life
    I see me.
    The mirror is crashin
    My life is falling
    Thousands of pieces,
    Over the earth they spread.
    Shards of glass
    And shards of me.
    Jigsaw of mirror,
    Jigsaw of me.
    My life is broken
    Pick it up
    Piece together the mirror
    It is cracked
    But there is still reflection,
    I can still see life
    And I can still see me.

    11th Oct. 05 Untitled

    Fingerprints on my heart
    I've been abandoned
    and used.
    I was so clean before you came
    What have I done
    and how.
    Meeting you felt like fate
    Knowing you like life
    then, death.
    You tortured my soul with unloving
    Discarded my trust of you
    for pain.
    Anguish, pain, broken inside
    I love you, that's what I knew
    or thought.
    I though you loved me back
    But then you left
    not quite.
    There is still your imprint on my heart
    Where you clutched it, holding me
    loving me.
    And then there was pain
    As your heart withdrew from mine
    i cried.
    I thought it was real
    And though you did too
    you did-
    But lost interest in love
    Was it just a game for you
    i lost-
    You and love all at once
    Was it my fault you left
    why me.
    I still love you can we fix it
    Please tell me it's ok
    can you.
    These words are all I need
    But I know I won't hear them
    not now.
    So now my heart is lost and lonely
    I suffer on my own in silence
    in love.
    That which you manifest is before you.

    Thanks, it does however need a title though (obviously, it's not called Untitled like that song by Simple Plan)

    A poem from me. I did this a while ago. I think it's retarded, but whatever.

    Save Me From Myself

    It?s getting harder

    For me to think

    To breathe

    To find the reason that I?m still here

    My purpose is pushing me to live

    And my life is pushing me to find my purpose

    But how can I find it, when I?m looking through a glass

    That masks my yells and turns them into cries of happiness

    There are things that will stain me for life

    Which I am trying to run away from

    They call me morbid

    And crazy

    Even funny

    But I?m just scared

    Scared of the world

    Of people

    Of me

    My power is beyond what I can imagine

    The looks on their faces will be just the opposite

    What will they say when it takes effect

    What will I do when it does?

    Self-control is my weakness

    Maybe that?s why it?s getting harder

    To think

    To breathe

    And to find the reason that I?m still here?

    The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

    -T.S. Eliot.

    S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
    A persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
    Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
    Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo
    Non torno vivo alcun, s'i'odo il vero,
    Senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

    Let us go then, you and I,
    When the evening is spread out against the sky
    Like a patient etherized upon a table;
    Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
    The muttering retreats
    Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
    And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells
    Streets that follow like a tedious argument
    Of insidious intent
    To lead you to an overwhelming question...
    Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"
    Let us go and make our visit.

    In the room the women come and go
    Talking of Michelangelo.

    The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes
    The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes
    Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening.
    Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains.
    Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys.
    Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
    And seeing that it was a soft October night,
    Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.

    And indeed there will be time
    For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
    Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
    There will be time, there will be time
    To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
    There will be time to murder and create,
    And time for all the works and days of hands
    That lift and drop a question on your plate;
    Time for you and time for me.
    And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
    And for a hundred visions and revisions,
    Before the taking of a toast and tea.

    In the room the women come and go
    Talking of Michelangelo.

    And indeed there will be time
    To wonder, "Do I dare?'' and, "Do I dare?''
    Time to turn back and descend the stair,
    With a bald spot in the middle of my hair--
    [They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!'']
    My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
    My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin--
    [They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!'']
    Do I dare
    Disturb the universe?
    In a minute there is time
    For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.
    So how should I presume?

    And I have known the eyes already, known them all--
    The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,
    And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
    When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
    Then how should I begin
    To spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?
    And how should I presume?

    And I have known the arms already, known them all--
    Arms that are braceleted and white and bare
    [But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!]
    Is it perfume from a dress
    That makes me so digress?
    Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
    And should I then presume?
    And how should I begin?
    . . . . .
    Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
    And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
    Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows? ...

    I should have been a pair of ragged claws
    Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.


    And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!
    Smoothed by long fingers,
    Asleep. . . tired . . . or it malingers,
    Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.
    Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,
    Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
    But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,
    Though I have seen my head [grown slightly bald] brought in upon a platter,
    I am no prophet--and here's no great matter;
    I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
    And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,
    And in short, I was afraid.

    And would it have been worth it, after all,
    After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,
    Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,
    Would it have been worth while,
    To have bitten off the matter with a smile,
    To have squeezed the universe into a ball
    To roll it toward some overwhelming question,
    To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,
    Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all''--
    If one, settling a pillow by her head,
    Should say: "That is not what I meant at all.
    That is not it, at all.''

    And would it have been worth it, after all,
    Would it have been worth while,
    After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,
    After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail along the floor--
    And this, and so much more?--
    It is impossible to say just what I mean!
    But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:
    Would it have been worth while
    If one, settling a pillow, or throwing off a shawl,
    And turning toward the window, should say:
    "That is not it at all,
    That is not what I meant, at all.''

    No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
    Am an attendant lord, one that will do
    To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
    Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
    Deferential, glad to be of use,
    Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
    Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
    At times, indeed, almost ridiculous--
    Almost, at times, the Fool.

    I grow old... I grow old...
    I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

    Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
    I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
    I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.


    I do not think that they will sing to me.

    I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
    Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
    When the wind blows the water white and black.

    We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
    By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
    Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

    ---

    Now that is a real poem.

    I have only tried my hand on a few poems, but I think this is the best one I have ever written. I posted it on this forum a long time ago, but I think for old time's sake I'll bring it back here. I entered this poem in a contest, but it didn't place. Oh well, I guess judges could never really understand...


    Serengeti Storm

    ~by 2 Die FR

    Listen, as I reminisce
    Of cubhood times I sorely miss?

    Sun stretched golden fingers bright
    O?er the rolling landscape might
    Grasses touched by blinding light
    Yes, Son, I remember when
    It was my home, as I knew it then.

    Evening fell, and heavens clear
    Overlaid with cloud clumps drear
    Shrouded by a murky smear
    Source from which the rains begot
    It was the storm, though I knew it not.

    With no warning we were shunt
    From our nightly dinner hunt
    All knew why, save one small runt
    Na?ve to the danger fraught
    It was the wet season, though I knew it not.

    Songs of somnolent snoring deep
    Stubbornly subsiding sleep
    As I felt foreboding creep
    Stomach taut in nervous knot
    It was instinctive, though I knew it not.

    Ominous odors thickly hung
    Piling on the stench of dung
    Hint of morbid things to come
    Wafting, lurking through the den
    It was a warning, though I knew not when.

    Ears pricked to the pitter patter
    From outside, a creepy clatter
    Dropping down dense sheets of splatter
    I believed not ear nor eye
    It was the rain, though I knew not why.

    Then a low, resounding rumble
    Some behemoth lion?s grumble
    Roared to make assurance tumble
    Fierce intruder raised a scare
    It was the thunder, though I knew not where.

    From the darkness came so frightening
    Flash intense, ignited, brightening
    Struck a thin-streaked bolt of lightning
    Gone at once but left a terror
    All I knew was panicked horror.

    Wailing, whimpering, weeping strong
    Freed distress I?d held so long
    What, oh what, was going on?
    Was the world about to end?
    I knew not how to comprehend?

    Calming comfort cooed inside
    Knowing that I could confide
    I was with my caring pride
    Their scent a friendly, welcome smell
    It was my family, and I knew them well.

    Huddled close to one another
    Father, uncle, sister, brother
    I aroused my resting mother
    Knowing she would empathize
    And give her soothing solace wise.

    ?Do not fear, my little child
    For though the storm is fierce and wild
    Filled with malice, irked and riled
    Soon enough, the storm will cease
    Earth restored to calm and peace.?

    Thus the Serengeti flooding
    Buried dormant, soaked and mudding
    Grasses, trees, and flowers budding
    Flourish, freed by tempest tragic?
    Mystified me, Nature?s magic.

    Source of sky?s obscure disguise
    Dawned on me through early eyes
    Though surprised, I realized
    Good can come in furtive form
    So I thanked the secret storm.

    Licks and kisses she caressed
    My tender, loving lioness
    Sat I amazed how I was blessed
    But I lay still without a peep
    For it was nighttime, time for sleep.

    Awesome poems..

    Nath, that one you posted is pretty trippy, I like it...

    "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" by Tupac

    Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.

    Midday of darkness - Zack

    I see a picture on the wall,
    I see a dark cloud outside,
    I see my old life in the picture,
    That startles me,

    I was thinking that i would never see a light shine down on me,
    A voice under my bed telling me that i will never escape,
    And I pray to god that don't let me losing my anger,
    In my dream someone told me that i should take it slow in life,

    It's still raining outside,
    It's still raining inside me,
    I know that there's no shine in this world,
    I know that there's no light in my heart,

    I try to follow people's footsteps,
    And I heard a voice saying that I should make my own footstep,
    I try to ignore the voice that disturbs me,
    But now I know that voice was trying to lend a hand to save me,

    That's quite a good poem Guntur, I really like it. You've done well to write it considering English is your second language too.

    Don't worry if your poem is dark and depressing Shadow, I have a lot of poems like that too, but don't feel pressured to show it either, if it's personal and you don't want to share it, then don't.

    Well overall it was very well done with hardly any things to chance, there was one or two things... but yes... anyone else want to give it a go to sort of check what I changed?
