Writing Today's Poem [M -- As a Precaution]

[RioLaskand]

You are worthless
why can't you do anything
she's gone, and you're gone
and nothing matters
YOU WORTHLESS THING

Please...please don't take
your anger out on me
I did what I could
I can't do more than that

NOT GOOD ENOUGH
you screwed up
and you will do it again
until nothing is left
and you are alone again

She won't be the last
she won't ever be
and it's ALL YOUR FAULT

No...please...let me try again...

There are no second chances
she's gone
no repairs can be done
no patch-ups can fix it

You fear neglect
and act upon it
do you do all
that you are afraid of

Maybe now it's time to change
to act upon desire
not fear
to go into the world with courage
not fear
stand on your own two feet
unsupported by the pillar of another
of four years senior

He's there, but you are here
so deal with it
ALWAYS DEAL WITH IT
nothing is ever good enough
NOTHING
you will never be good enough
So why even bother

...but I'm scared to live

...So deal with it

OOC: Excuse the anger

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]The daughter,
Of a forgotten woman,
Has come down,
To my room.

The girl,
Is staying with me,
And enjoying herself,
In my company.

The child,
That I want to,
Protect so carefully,
Rests in happiness.

The peace,
Floods through my being,
In my body,
In my mind.

She is my sister.[/color]

[mangagod]

Relentless as the sea, Remorseless as death.

In this world of complete darkness, It has no shadows to fear.

The liveing cannot understand the benefits of death.

The only comfort in death, Is that you will no longer have to
worry of the things in life.

Only one who can trueley understand the songs of the damned, Is the one who wails them.

Death its self can only say. "Come with me and I shall end your suffering."

[Dagger]

I watched her reach to grasp the glass
of milk with shaking hands,
and wondered if it hurt to wrap those claws
around the cup.
The woman wanted me to warm it up;
I pressed the buttons twice.
She was not satisfied,
and said so in her normal broken words--
the languages must blur within her mind,
one hard to tongue, the other faint with time.
Tendons thinned by age and
veins like rivers on a map,
all coruscating blue.
I hate the taste of lukewarm milk.
I hate the thought of growing old
and then drinking my fill.

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Dance with me,
Here and now,
The music of your flute,
In my ears.

And with me,
Singing the song,
That we had almost forgotten,
Heavy in day.

Night with me,
So very dark,
Then becoming so very bright,
The light from.

Your eyes.[/color]

[Dagger]

It has not been very long
since I thought I was in love.
Such an arbitrary term--
who's to know its origin,
or would dare infuse two words
with what it means?
No, I let this fade as love should not.
Sonnets speak of beating hearts
and other rushing things.
Jesus painted love in glowing colors;
perhaps he was just a verbal Thomas Kinkeade--
but my stock in him sank down
too long ago and now lies dormant.
Try resurrecting [i]that.[/i]

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]What work is.

Work is that,
Which we all must do,
To achieve that which we desire,
To have success.

Sucess is earned by hard work
In this game that we call life,
Even though we don't know,
What we're really trying to do.

Work and play,
To very different concepts.
Work is not to be enjoyed,
While play is something we love to do.

If you like your job,
It must not be called work but play,
And when you are paid,
Congratulations on your part.

So now,
We know that we all must work,
To gain sucess,
To enjoy our lives without playing.[/color]

[RioLaskand]

I can take
my time away
and save it for
another day

I wish I could
go to that place
I am too busy
there is no space

Excuses rise,
intentions fail
there is too much
I can't do all

And now I'm gone
my friends have left
I see it now
my social death

[Dagger]

[i]"Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of lust,
Some with the hands of gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.

Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die."[/i]

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]I am the helpless,
Drifting down,
From the surface,
To the darkness below.

And I am alone,
So very,
Sad and depressed,
That I won't ever.

Come back to the,
Top again,
To see you,
And your quiet face.

Why did you go?
Why come?
When I couldn't,
Even understand just why.

It's cold again
I hate the cold
it bites and it gnaws
and it pulls all warmth

You are never robbed of cold
It isn't wrenched from your grasp
only the heat, precious heat
fleeting with the last
drop of precious fluid

I can feel it now
slipping away
I am drained of all
and I wish it all back

It's so cold...
I want to be warm
I want your touch
I'm pulled dry of all

Emotions are sapped
Energy never was
I can't move
My body is that
of a doll

And I'm freezing
without anybody
or anything
holding me up
from the pit of icy hell

I plummet deep
freezing solid
my heart lands
with a dull thud
my body shattered

but my heart and soul stay
alone in the abyss
waiting for lighter fluid
and a carefully dropped match...

[Thaylien]

My touch glance-whispers over boards, I feel.

A grain of life that once was, will be.

Tools of metal shaping, moulding, sense stirs.

Glass and fibers to polish at last, shape tones.

A final touch to seal its life, I leave.

It stands there now, my vision
wrought real, in wood, in life,
in mind it lasts.

Real to all, but all unseen to me.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]You are draging me down,
Into sweet oblivion,
Far away,
From all the loud places.

And instead I am here,
In your arms,
So warm,
And safe and quiet.

It is so very calm,
And your eyes,
Draw me,
Down into the darkness.

So still and sweet,
I could drown,
With you,
All cool and quiet.[/COLOR]

[RioLaskand]

A single tear for three years
one tear for all my fears
peaks its way to the cusp
from beauty, not pain

everything that happened
froze my face
to a look of quiet sorrow
it froze for two years

life came in a girl
doesn't it always?
but simels became stone
when she was gone

She's gone away
for good it seems
I hope she sees
someone new
that makes her laugh

for a person,
not music
will unlock my emotions
music sits on the edge
weighing the single tear

as the final chords hit
my ears take the blow
my mind feels the blow
and the dear becomes stone
frozen by pain, enveloped by fear

so close to the end
so near to my heart
but not enough
never enough,
till it comes

and I will know when
that someone comes
not something
but someone,
my dear....

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]I hold what you want,
So very carefully,
In my body,
In my soul.

Nobody will claim it,
Nobody will want to,
Ater they take a look,
At what really lies within me.

A tainted soul,
So very tired,
And very weak,
From so many lies.

But looking deeper,
You can see something,
Like a pinpoint of light,
Resting inside.

With the right person,
And enough time,
And a little water,
It might bloom into something new.

A starseed.[/COLOR]

[RioLaskand]

I wish it weren't
so far away
my salvation
won't come today

I see those around
me finding it in
love abound me
passing through me
oblivious

Envy cakes my face
I am cut off from
that lovely place
the straggler outside
the gates

I want to come in
I SCREAM and cry
I want someone's life
to connect with mine

I have detached
from everyone's soul
I have lost feeling
but not want for feeling

And I would do anything
to feel alive again
to be acknowledged
in my life

by someone of mine
and mine of someone's
all I ask, all I hope
all I want,
someone's soul to find mine
and see me never alone again

They will never feel loneliness ever either
for when I am there
we will be happy
and life will go on
just as it always has

[Dagger]

serenity locked in sand,
in photos of the endless coast
so ivory and blue,
or gold embracing hope cut
diamond-sharp.
sapphire would be drowned
beside this jewel, a tiny candle
lapped into the maw of flame.

serenity locked in sand,
in smooth-hipped hourglasses
undulating down to dark.
time falls and flows:
the stream of grains is uniform
as water.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]There is a world,
Where the girls,
Are taller,
Stronger.

Wiser,
And braver,
Unafraid of you,
And so very beautiful.

They hold many things,
In their hands,
Like truth,
Knowledge.

Fear,
And pain,
But to find,
Who they really are.

Will take much more,
Than just an,
Empty promise,
Right?[/COLOR]

[Dagger]

Broken into motion,
the golden trails sink slowly down to darkness.
No matter how calm the water grows
they always waver.
It's cold, with musky clouds,
a sky swathed in violet gauze
and the river looks like glass.
Old glass, the kind that makes up
wrinkled windowpanes.
Gravity rippled them past the centuries
to today,
and my morning river is a mirror
reflecting neon lights,
softening them to jewel-like
streaks of paint.

[Godelsensei]

[COLOR=Gray][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]I'm sorry for
not being able to care
about your senselessness
and childish tears
that wash away
any desire I had
to stay here
beside you.

I think I used to look up to you.
Nevertheless, it's akin
to a heavy burden
lifted from
metaphorical shoulders
on the hypothetical
trek up a mountain.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]You're about to fall,
Be careful,
The edge is closer than you think,
Won't you catch me?

I'm afraid of that,
I could,
Just fall to the ground with you,
Instead of saving you.

That's so very kind,
EVen if,
That's not quite what I had hoped,
You could do for me.

But our love is,
So easily,
Satisfied with what you have,
To give to me.[/COLOR]

[RioLaskand]

Life will travel on, my friend
through the winding turns and bends
but sometimes people tear and rend
and stop life dead for hours on end

OOC: Just a quick inspiration a friend of mine gave me with a quote he made up.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=SeaGreen]Here's a challenge,
In response to your,
Goddamn death threats,
And mean looks.

Evil eyes don't,
Faze me at all,
Cause I've seen,
To much before.

I'm not sorry,
For making your man,
Turn to watch,
My body move.

So get over,
Your pitiful jealousy now,
Cause I don't,
Really give ****.

That's your fault,
For dismissing his ***,
When all he,
Did was watch.

So try me,
I'd love to kill,
Your skanky ***,
In a fight.[/COLOR]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo][center]
Mingle for awhile
don't be shy
awnser with nonsensical nonesense
in brief reply

Smile, act witty
play the part of the queen
giggle at cunning compliments
and frown at the obscene

Eat and drink
make merry with the host
talk of Tolstoy's traumas
and speak of Freud's Ghosts

And when its time to go
say goodbye
frolic forward forgetablly
on an eloquent high[/center][/color]

[I][COLOR=Purple][FONT=Times New Roman]Wow . . . there's something about that poem that I really like . . . it's simple, but I love simplicity . . . those are often the best poems right? Just very very nice because it's straight to the point ((and I could relate to it too =P)) ^_^

~`*`~Weeping Sky~`*`~

So swiftly do I see it fall
as the current cleanses every stream
that flows from beds of irises,
and gently does the wind drift near,
singing boldly, but singing softly
to lull a violent storm to sleep,
when clouds are gray, when skies are dark.
And softly do I hear the whispers
Of a gentle, falling rain . . .[/FONT][/COLOR][/I]
