Poem thread! | #17 02-27-2015, 12:44 PM I'm not one for poetry, but..my fiance is. His most popular is... too embarrassing for me to post here.  >////< But here's another one that his friends/readers on his site really liked. Show Content The Walking Catacomb Feet clench when meeting the cool tile, Cold feet make way to the trying wooden floor boards with subdued creeks On a level so high up, there are two sets of thick glass and a city just beyond my reach This is where I rise and ponder at all hours of ever aimless to the point of seeking something further Than what my eyes have always sought Waking searching heart beat ripples grating fear dark moans my questions spiral on Into tunnels where the Gods play life or death and the air about them is so unapologetic the sterile resistance of the catacomb becomes Unaware Can you hear it? Chaos till the calm, the still adrenaline on the breeze, the pulse The hand grasping the arm in an attempt to relax Me me me Oh' you see me but do you empathize? My defiance is as aimless as existence itself meaning from something closer Than what my mind has fought The cure is liquid clear and precise the instrument holds the sharpest alleviation Potent in my veins I can feel sleep puncturing Pure sedation,  and now I grow quiet, still again what's that word? "Indifferent" Indentured to the sterile glow of the catacomb   I'm sure the needle would at least apologize for all  of these misunderstandings ☽ |   OOC XIV blog   | ☾

Poem thread! | #19 05-14-2015, 11:18 AM I've remembered this thread. Hmm. Here's something i've written today, not been a very good past couple of days, and it needs some revisioning and editing. Your clenched teeth - Makyn Let the air suck in through your clenched teeth, your hands away from your eyes. Let the tears dry in the air and straighten back up. Stand tall. Let it out. Breathe. Let the upwelling bring the cold to the surface, to be warmed, but let it stay at the surface, warm.  Know that it is still there, always. Until the cold ground is uplifted, it's always there. Make of it what you can even if it wasn't what it was before, know that, sometimes, you did what you could. But it didn't work. Do not stay where you are, for there is a road always ahead for you. More faces ahead, watching and waiting the same road for you, always ready to join you. Will it to let them help, even if it is only in silence next to you. There. Accept the rope they offer if you fall in the mud. Many say there are many fish in the sea, but we all know we need to find the colors that stand out to us. Let the air suck in through your clenched teeth, your hands away from your eyes. Let the tears dry in the air and straighten back up. Stand tall. Let it out. Breathe.

Poem thread! | #21 05-14-2015, 01:23 PM I fancy myself a bit of a songwriter. I've been working on a song for a while, and have some lyrics I wrote. Of Aluminum These tiny fragile feet too tired to climb your burning mountain tops These hands too wild and weary to harvest all your dirty crops No energy but too much in these batteries of copper drops There's seven of us leaving, only six of us will go I wonder where the last one is, But I'm certain I already know. Rain on down, In your silent, stirring anger, Follow me and just observe, I'll show you where I'm going to. Rain on down, There's no weapon we can use, Just a path that we can travel, Maybe you can take the one we're on. These feet just want to kick you, Knock you over, make the crazy stop. These hands just want to kiss you, Make the world look at us when you pop. No energy to give you, Just recount your lies in photoshop. There's seven of us bleeding, only six of us to go I wonder how the last one is, But I'm certain you already know. No Gods and Precious Few Heroes

Poem thread! | #22 05-14-2015, 01:28 PM So, this was an IC poem that I wrote, but I'm still fond of it. It parts the waters Sending her waves crashing down The tempest swarm Quelled easily Simple supplication Singing songs to the Sirens. Her mercy lies in Carrying you away The swiftest deaths Are often ones most pleasant. La petit mort. The beautiful death. Waves upon waves The shoreline meets the sea. His hardened presence Seeking to calm her fury. And so we crash. And so I drown. And so we go. You are my tidal lord. And I the nymph. Before long We will have lost control. So let the waves rise up. Let the tsunami fall. In the wonderful The water The blue of your Cerulean oceans. All Knowledge is Worth Having Wiki & LS Guide*RP Guide*My Wiki*Jutat De FC

Poem thread! | #23 05-14-2015, 02:05 PM (This post was last modified: 05-14-2015, 02:11 PM by Hammersmith.) I found a good one recently.  Bit longish though. Link to the source and authors at the end of it here: Look, said the dragon, don’t tell anybody, but I don’t think I believe in stories. Yesterday I clipped down my wings. I didn’t like them, they hurt, the way they scraped against the cave; I was too wide for its walls or else there was too much treasure lining its floor— goblets and gems, coins and coronets— so I said either the gold goes, or I do. I think I went. All right, Sir Knight, I know you’ve come to kill me. When are you going to get it over with? My lungs are full of fire and my heart is acid and bone. Tell me that’s all. Tell me I’m fine. Tell me I’m supposed to feel this way. I’m not young but not that old, surely; I’ve got years left of destruction, pillaging, rampages, a princess or two. I think the fields of England are still green. Yesterday, when my wings were clipped against my sides, I thought: I could live like this. Come on, Sir Knight, what are you waiting for? I suppose the princess must be pretty; they always are. Hair like gold, I hope, and eyes like the ocean. You’ll have to watch out for her. Girls who are sold in exchange for a murder, they know their own worth. They don’t tame. We’re alike that way. Your armor is old, Sir Knight, and rusty. You didn’t come better prepared? It’s no matter. Don’t worry; I won’t bite. Docile as a lamb, me. Come closer. When you slide the sword in make it quick, don’t linger. You’re the hero triumphant and I’m giving you a happy ending but after all this time, even you should know nothing in this world comes free. Here’s your end of the bargain: have mercy. After all, what’s the difference between this and a love story? Once, not long after I was hatched, I got it into my head to fly as high as I could. The day was warm— it must have been summer— and the sky was made of nothing but sunlight. Below me, your island was emerald and brown. There were rivers. I don’t think I’ve ever been so alone or so unlonely. Hammer's wiki. Leave rumors. Leave. Lots. Of Rumors.

Poem thread! | #24 05-14-2015, 02:52 PM (This post was last modified: 05-14-2015, 03:00 PM by Sailor July.) POETRY!  So, I wrote this many years ago, but it's still a favorite as I prefer darker poetry. ♥ So passionate. A glorious heart, so full, so happy, Will once so soon go down so gory Beating fast with blacked chains, To me it is much more then games. A happy heart is red and pumping, A saddened heart is black and pounding. Many ideas and thoughts race through me, Scaring me for all eternity, You ask me what; I tell you why, oh how I wish to get by.  I want to put my fears to ease, However, they are as cold as a frosty breeze.  A single shiver runs right through me, as the darkness closes around me, I want to know just how, just why, but I will do my best to get by. Sometimes I sit and wonder o' the pressure I go under, I sometimes wish for darkened days because that is the only way, I stand so shocked at the rumble of thunder, which is my heart so fill of bother.  So many ideas and thoughts in my head, keep me awoken whilst lying in bed, I want to sleep, to ease my mind, but sleep escape's me at this time. Three o' clock, the sun is still hidden,  The dark clouds fill the sky and ridden, me of the so full bright moon. The birds are sleeping sound and peaceful,  Their singing not ringing so dim and delightful. The sky is not a dark, deep blue but instead black through and through.  My heart and the sky share a similar thing,  The color and emptiness it does bring.  Again, my hearts rumbles, the echoes do mumble,  Through my body as I lay so humble. Not knowing what or where I am, I feel so lost and so I am. A spark within me is all I have, of what I used to be.  Blackness and troubles all about are now all that consumes me.  I wonder all night of where I had lost, that joyful feeling I had brought, The time I cannot remember, the feeling must be lost forever.  I know now as I lay in bed, all these thoughts running through my head, One day I will be found and saved, I shall no longer feel so grave.  However, until then, I dream of when, the feeling of joy shall return, I know that when I finally feel, the sunlight upon my skin, it will burn. I am used to the darkness, the empty skies; I am used to sitting and wondering why. However, my life will soon turn over again,  I will be lost and so confused, but my soul will no longer bruise.  I do not know just how, or just right when, but I will feel joyful once again.    Here's a poem I wrote for Jen and I a few years ago, about the Red String of Fate. ♥  We walk together,  hand-in-hand through the deepest boughs of hell. But we smile together, as we face the hate, because this we know so well. We've been through hell and back again, a team of two and one. For we are two people, two hearts, two souls - but together we are one. We've faced demons of lies and minions of greed, soul-biting torture and words that bleed, but together, through it all, the lies, the hurts and sorrow - together we have faced hell and laughed, at the thought of a new tomorrow. Together we are in paradise, no matter where we are. In you I find my comfort and truth and the love that I hold dear. In you I find my strength and words, that others cannot hear. We're bound by invisible string, a bright red around our wrists  and fingers,our souls are united in a way of forever,  so no matter where we are - it is bliss. Do not fear those who harm you, my dear, for they do not have the key, to the place that's deep inside of you, that place that's only for me. Do not worry about tomorrow, because we're here today - do not worry about their words, their pain, for I'll defend you every day. For you show me love and care, support and understanding The only one who has heard my thoughts, felt my love, tasted my kiss and known me. Together we're unstoppable, no matter the time or price. So take my hand and together we shall walk away from this burning place. Now for rap! I'll  censor a LOT of this, but... In the mood for sake, kanpai Bitches like me, hard to come by Nicki’s an idol, call her senpai I’ll go up against anyone, an eye for an eye, better try your hardest ‘cause I’m so fly My heart’s on my sleeve, ya don’t gotta pry, I speak my mind 'cause I ain’t shy, playin’ with words like I’m Bandai, hope they don’t mind me usin’ their name, oh my and... I'm a horrorcore wh*re, yeah I love gore, I want more.  My favorite killer's Jack the Ripper, yeah I'm a fan of  the sinners, wanna get into their heads, find out why the  dead are dead. What did you do with the liver? How did you seduce her? What poison did you slip in her booze? What did you do with her ****s? Pain's insane, which is sane in my head, can't explain.  F**k flowers, give me blood; f**k romance, r**e in the mud.  Baby girl, you know what my luv is, let's be psycho together,  watch horror, twenty-four seven, this is heaven. I have a list, that's just the jist, won't say more than this.  People who f**k me over, wanna see them go under, my heart  is beating louder than thunder. It's natural. It's ancient.  Revenge, the best payment. F**k yeah, I'm even a mental health patient. Nothin' to hide, psychotic pride, a knife in each hand, bitches beware.  Do you hear that? No? Silent and deadly, like Michael and Freddy.  Jason and Hannibal. Maybe become a cannibal. This is the truth, I'm f**ked in the head, stories before bed of  decapitated heads; mysterious unsolved, killers involved, you won't  know from my look but don't judge a book by the cover, 'cause I  keep my insanity straight under covers unless I'm in the middle of a  rage, than I rip out a page and if you f**k with me, it's a mistake,  'cause I have tools to use and skills to abuse and don't you know  that horror's a helluva muse? and... Yo, I'm Jhu'lie, spittin' coolly,  helpin' my girls get a little unruly  Now listen up, lemme mention  that y'all have been under an illusion, I know there's some confusion,  but I'm tellin' you truly  There's an intrusion, invasion, a pink haired  bitch from another dimension!  Rappin' hardcore, from Outer Space,  watchin' y'all scramble, there goes the master race!  Hittin' your cities, so you'll be displaced,  sittin' with my girls while we lay waste, ruin this place,  it's your disgrace, but it's just our taste Yo, if you're still alive, you'll wish you were dead,  'cause I told my honeys to grab their holographic minis,  strap on their *******s and start f**kin' yo heads!  We're buildin' this place like a Playboy  Palace, feelin' a little light-headed like Alice,  maybe it's the Absinthe, workin' on a callous as I knock  back another shot, actin' so careless. I'm the Queen of  my people, the baddest Bitch, leader of my ladies and  f**ker of Martian Bunnies!  Finally, for now... My wife has a big blue dinosaur stuffed animal I bought her and she asked for a rap about him! Yo, his name is Richard, he's blue, a GM for Blizzard, don't you dare  think he's a motherf**kin' lizard, he's a Ravasaur, got that - wh*re?  Don't like Richard? There's the door. He doesn't care 'bout other bitches, don't want more, he's got all he needs right through this door door door.   My baby girl, she wanted a rap, 'bout this Ravasaur who don't take no crap, so I promised I would and I knew that I could, so I'm doing, I'm here so hear this, it's about Richard, he's rare like an epic, but his quality's  pale gold, like that of an Artifact. We got him from Hogle, that's a zoo near here, yeah, he's fiercer than a motherf**kin' momma bear. She knew she wanted him, soon as she saw him sittin' there. So of course, cha-ching, baby girl didn't want no bling the only thing she wanted was Richard - and I ain't gonna make a dick joke - and all I could picture was her smile, knew adoptin' this Ravasaur would be so worthwhile.  ♥ ~ Angie • 26 • in ♥ with my gorgeous best friend, wife and soulmate Jen • 2 kitties, 2 birds, 2 ratties and 1 snake are our babies • gamer • role-player • huge geek ~ ♥

From the Silmarillion: Quote:Farewell sweet earth and northern sky, for ever blest, since here did lie and here with lissome limbs did run beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun, Luthien Tinuviel more fair than mortal tongue can tell. Though all to ruin fell the world and were dissolved and backward hurled unmade into the old abyss, yet were its making good, for this- the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea- that Luthien for a time should be.
