[color=blue]Here's a selection of my poetry for you to (hopefully :D) enjoy. These ones are quite old, I did them a few months ago but I'll try to update this thread next time I get inspired. Any comments gratefully appreciated. [U]Untitled[/U] By day I shield my eyes From the garish "real world" At night I leave them open Running from the creeping darkness in my soul. Surrounded by friends and family Yet I always am so alone, I retreat to my safe haven Inside my head. Prison of flesh and bone. Outside the pettyness and chaos Drive me inside myself. But inside is no better, The constant battle with my light Always just ahead of the creeping blackness. This coldness inside me is Like a dead weight destined Forever to be carried In the warm place where My soul should rest. YOU put it there, but Your memory is what keeps me Chained to this millstone of self doubt Anger and hate. Free me! But even now something inside, Some little remaing spark of me Knows that only I can free myself From the internal prison Laid on me. One day the flames of my soul Rekindled only by a kind of love I have yet to feel, Will burn away my prison Sear away the weak flesh. Then I will be revealed In all the beauty no-one else sees. In the meantime I will wait. Biding my time knowing One day I will soar free. And you will be forever trapped In the enduring bleakness Of your black unfeeling soul. [U]Glazed[/U] What do I see When I look in your eyes? No spark of friendship, Warmth or recognition. Just my own reflection Staring back at me. Beacause they're galzed. Another day, another bottle, Swinging limply from your pallid hand. This sick compulsion slowly drawing The light of life from within your soul, Leaving only emptiness in it's place And a stronger need. Because you're glazed. What dreadful feeling drives you? Is the outside world really so bad? Did all your walls come crashing down? Your hopes in ashes at your feet. And you standing alone In the midst of carnage Looking glazed. Can you not see the harm you're causing? Body and mind weakening day by day. The light within you slowly fading, People around you lost, despairing. But of course you can't Because you've always Been glazed. This one is about an alcoholic. [U]The Fast Lane[/U] Nothing is without a price Life is never simple Sell your soul for pretty things Pay the toll in blood. So here you find my story A lesson to you all Life in the fast lane may be fun That is until you fall... Lonely girl Pretty thing Young at heart Got sucked in Crazy man Lots of cash "Come back to mine, raid my stash" Man and girl Whirlwind life Highs and lows Mostly high Expensive Tates Designer Clothes Is it love? She doesn't know Dangerous times Hide from cops The leser evil Fear the boss Blue and cold Stiff but rich Crazy man Dead in a ditch Fear and panic Girl escapes Draughty doorways At least it's safe Haunted eyes Tormented dreams Now nothing is ever As it seems So now you know the price to pay Is it worth the pain? Life in the fast lane gets you dead All for material gain. This is about some trouble I got myself into a few years ago. I varied the pace in the middle to try to convey how fast the whole experience flew past me. Life can overtake you sometimes if you're not careful.[/color]

[color=blue]Name: Calla Class: Magician Weapon: A wooden staff topped by a clear crystal. Clothing: Calla is a rogue magician with no allegience to any particular god, so she wears simple belted grey robes with many pouches attached containing her herbs and spell components.[/color]

[color=blue]Every story needs a good bad guy so........... Name: Ashkara Spirit: Commander of the legions of hell. Body: She is the most beautiful woman most people have ever seen. Ash has long white hair and huge innocent looking purple eyes, she wears flowing white robes and has white feathered wings. Weapon: A staff topped by a glowing white crystal. Magic: Highest level dark magic. Physical: Fair skill, but she is a dirty fighter not affraid to use every trick in the book. Background: She is the highest ranking of the legions of hell second only in power to the dark lord. Ashkara may have the face of an angel but she has a dark and twisted soul that relishes in the suffering of others. As everyting has two sides, black and white, good and evil, so Ashkara is diametrically opposed to her opposite number Ben, two huge powers with equal and oposite force. Should be interesting...............[/color]

[color=blue]I don't know abot the worst but the stupidest question I've ever been asked was "Why do you wear those glasses?"[/color]

[color=blue]Thats really good D.D, I didn't know you did poetry too. Have you done anything else? if you have I'd really like to read it so mail it to me if you do.:)[/color]

[color=blue]The most romantic thing I've ever done was a few years ago on valentines day I didn't have much money but I wanted to give my boyfriend a really romantic night. I got a cheap bottle of champagne and put it in a plastic bowl with lots of ice then I filled the room with candles on all the cupboards and tiny cake candles around the edges of the furniture with rose pettals on the bed. Needless to say it went really well and we both had a great night. Just goes to show it's the thought that counts. The worst depression I've been in was also a few years ago. I'm pretty messed up from my parents affairs and emotional black mail - my mum used to threaten to walk out on us until me and my brother were crying and begging her not to go - and bullying at school. I thought I was over all that but then I was really stupid and got into drugs and basically scrambled my brains, the depression came back and I tried to kill myself. But hey, I'm over that now and I know it's cliche but I am stronger now because of it.[/color]

[color=blue]We never had a food fight coz we didn't have a cafeteria, we had to use two of the class rooms. This wouldn't have been so bad but the mess never got cleaned up until the end of the day so if we had a food fight we would have had to sit in it for the rest of the day. Eugh!! :( I guess it was a cunning plan by the teachers to stop us making any mess. :D[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Dragonballzman [/i] [B]~Videl~, I get the feeling that you like Piccolo...:rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE] [color=blue]Really? Whatever gave you that idea? ;) :D [/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Anna [/i] [B]not only that but ya [i]never know[/i] who's who on the internet. I mean, for the most part I haven't seen/met anyone on here who might be.... um,.... more than what they're letting on...:nervous: , but still........ it's not all that safe. [/B][/QUOTE] [color=blue]Yeah I agree it's a nice idea, there are people here I'd really like to meet, but like you say it could be a bit dodgy. Makes me think of what I saw on some weird chat show when I was off sick recently. The topic was meeting people from the net and there was this one woman who met a guy in a chat room and decided she wanted to have sex with him. So, instead of doing what any partly normal person might do and meeting the guy and maybe going out on a date she gave him her address and said come round at x time I'll leave the door unlocked. The man came over and she was waiting blinfolded on the bed and they did their thing and he left!!!! Insane :eek: :worried: !!!!!!! As the presenter said, she could have had her throat cut, but the woman replied that she loved the thrill that it could have even been anyone in the audience. Ok............. that was a bit random :o daytime TV has addled my brain :wigout: :D [/color]

[color=blue]I love Nirvana too, thy're one of my all time favourite bands. One of those bands that were and always will be great.[/color]

[color=blue]Piccolo's definately.....*drools*....or maybe it's just because of who's in the outfit......*drools some more*......ok, need to concentrate. The main thing I like about his outfit is the cloak, that is so cool but also the way the rest of it shows off his muscles..... Ok, I really need to get this out of my system, I've been off ill for 3 days and all I've been able to do is lie in bed and watch DBZ and my piccolo obsession just seems to have got worse.....oh well there's only one thing for it.......*goes off to watch some more DBZ*.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Dragonballzman [/i] [B]Gah! I spend WAAAY too much time watching anime! I need to go out more often and get a life...-_- [/B][/QUOTE] [color=blue]lol thats funny, but don't worry, if I could get more anime then I would have less of a life too........ *scratches head* .....wait a minute, is that a good thing? :confused: :D BTW I'm a fellow Brit, where do you get your anime? as I'm having trouble getting a good selection.[/color]

My favourite song is Cheap Honesty by Skunk Anansie.

[I]Calla lay on the floor staring up at the opening as it closed and howled in rage[/I] Calla: Fenooooorrrrrrr!!!!!! How dare you treat me this way!!! I am your own kind, not a pathetic halfling. When I rule this realm you and all other beings will suffer for all eternity at my hands. Consider your training so far to be but a mere sample of the pain I shall inflict on you when you are mine!! [I]In a fit of firey rage she sped upwards towards the sealed portal, fists extended before her and surrounded by crackling black fire. She reached the portal and before it was fully opened punced straight through the remaining rock and into the building. Her entrance ripped a huge gash in the floor sending rock and debris flying in all directions as she ascended on a column of flame. The others and the remaing demons were sent flying by the shockwave, but Calla only had eyes for one person.[/I] Calla: Fenor!!!!!!! [I]She screamed in rage as she dove straight at the huge demon and caught him off guard tending his wounds she grasped his throat tightly in her claws and pinned him backwards against a wall.[/I] Calla: Tell......me.......how.......you.....did.........that!!!!!!! [I]She was shaking with rage and her eyes burned a firey red.[/I] Calla: Only my father and I have access to those arcane rituals!! [I]She slammed him harder against the wall, their fetid breaths mingled their faces were so close[/I] Calla: It's just not possible!!!!

Cool! Finally a star wars RPG!:D WHy didn't I think of this ages ago...... ___________________________________ Name: Calla Ashran Race: Human Occupation: Jedi Padawan Age: 16 Bio: Calla was given into the custody of the Jedi's as a child by parents who couldn't stand the thought of having a "freak" as a child. To make up for this she has trained rigorously for 12 years to become a jedi knight and prove to herself that she is worth something. [I]Calla ducked just in time as her masters light sabre narrowly missed her head.[/I] Raith: Concentrate Calla. Clear your mind of all distractions and let the force guide you. [I]Calla spared only a nod for her master as she circled to find an opening. Raith feinted to the right and seeing the opening she drove in with an attack to his left side which he dodged easilly and sent her tumbling against the wall with a blast of force. Raith sighed and shut down his lightsabre[/I] Raith: That will be all for today. I'm sorry to say I've never seen you so unfoccussed. What is troubling you? Calla: *Picks herself up from the floor* Troubled? no it's not that it's just...........*she twisted her hands nervously* well master skwalker is coming today and I've never had the chance to meet him and I really wanted to and............*she broke off at the look of disapproval from Raith. Raith: A Jedi must always keep thier emotions in check, never be ruled by them, you must learn focus. *He looks at her crestfallen expression* But just this once I will make an exception, master Skywalkers shuttle will be docking shortly and I suppose a break in our traing will do no harm........ Calla: *Very excited* oh thank you master, thank you........ [I]She dashes off in the direction of the shuttle bay[/I]
