Writing Dust and Echoes

[Dovahkiin]

Well, i have poems in one of my worlds on theO and i thought that i would share them here.

[left]Can you see me?

[/left]can you see me from where you are?
you left me long ago, i have drempt of a
place where you and i are together, all i
want is for you to be here by my side, if
i could forget this life and go with you i
would, because with you i would safe and
we'll be lost in the dream. But i know we
wont be together until the day you come to
take me with your wings unfolded in the
glowing light. ive been looking in the
mirror for so long,believing that you are
there, but that mirror has shattered and the
pieces cut into me, they bring me back to the
cruelty of my life. Mum i hope you can see me
from where you sit with your wings folded.

[color="#000000"]Relief from the pain[/color]

the worst is over now
i can finally breath, i keep
your photograph because it
reminds me of why im still
alive. Nobody knows what ive
been holding back, i hid the
bruises and pain behind a mask
of happiness. that mask has slid
off my face, my soul was caught
in the hands of fate, its changed
now, the path i was once on led me
to decay, then you reached out with
your hand and felt my heartache, you
gave me the courage to make my path.

Monster

you are not the man i used to know
you are now a monster that escaped from hell
and have brought your wrath down upon me.
no one knows the feelings i feel and i
blame you! no you will never see the tears
i cry because i dont cry on the outside
anymore, im so together but so broken up
inside, i will never forgive or forget,
does it run in your blood to hurt the ones
you love? if i needed someone to control me,
if i needed someone to push me around, i
wouldnt of changed my direction and saved
myself before i drowned. without the mask
and power where will you hide? the real
you never was and never will be, you have
no idea how you've hurt me.

Life

i wonder aimlessly through life
taking each day as it comes, my spirit
is strong, it will faultier at times but
it will never be broken. people pull me
down but i will not let them destroy me,
the blackness will never consume me for
i see the light.

Pain filled life

my heart is filled with pain
and sorrow but i hide it under my
happiness, i keep it locked up deep
inside my heart, waiting for the day
when i can release it so it troubles
me no more, that day is still to come,
it is far away and yet i am a day closer.

Suffer

you made me weak,
you made me suffer,
you shut me out from the
world, you tourtured me
to no ends. many times had
i thought about taking
flight, leaving that dark
place behind but something
made me stay and fight you,
you hate me because of my
decision, i hate you for so
many reasons you can't imagine.

Memories

glowing dim as an amber but
still they burn deep in my mind, the
memories of you and what you've done
will never leave me. they dig ever
deeper into my mind, planting their
dark images into my thoughts, my life,
my soul. these memories will forever
stay with me burning like an eternal
flame that can not be put out, i try
to push these memories away from my mind
but no matter how hard i try, they still
stay there, forever burning the images
into my mind, forever burning the images
that reflect in my damaged memories.

Darkness

the darkness is all around me,
i have fought it off so many times but
it always stays in the background, lurking,
waiting patiently to strike when my light
fades away. That time has come and gone,
like an eternal flame that has been put out,
now i welcome the darkness, come, ensnare me
with your emptiness for i only feel the sorrow,
so pull me down into that black abyss and
fill my mind, body and soul with your blackness.

Manifestations

My mind drifts and wanders,
the thoughts that run around are
scattered, lost, confused. My heart
beats fast because it is scared,
scared for what is about to come.
The sleepless nights are becoming
more and more,they bring thoughts
and images which manifest into my
worst nightmares. I am slowly losing
the battle against him, if i do not
find myself soon then all hope is gone,
lost in the dark, dreadful black hell.

Freedom

I am finally free from your cruel,
decitful, corrupting grasp. Three and a half
years you tortured me for, I wanted to take
the easy way out so many times but something
stopped me, that force made me fight back,
it gave me the strength to continue on in this
life. You once said to me that I was a failure
and I would amount to nothing but I am
proving you wrong, I am making my own path,
following it to reach my goals.

Stronger

people see me as a weak person,
someone they can play games on,
someone they can make a fool of,
in the end those people don't know
what i've been through in my life,
nor will they ever know. yes my life
has been hard, in the past it was a
living nightmare but i escaped it, i
woke up, i defeated my demons.
all that i have been through has made
me a stronger person to see people
for who they really are and their games,
their lies i will never play or believe,
try all you wish to break me, break my
spirit but you will never succeed.

Storm on the horizon

The dark clouds appear again, the
emptiness has returned, time is lost in
my mind. I want to see you, even if it
is only a picture of your face. My heart
and body feel heavy with pain yet I'm
surrounded by loved ones but something
is missing from this family, this life.
If I could change what happened I would,
just so this family doesn't have to feel
this pain, so this family could be whole. Edited January 27, 2011 by The Professor

[font="Comic Sans MS"]Welcome to the 'boards, Midget Ninja. I went ahead and merged your posts for you. Please note that while you are allowed to double post in the Anthology, it's mainly a measure to keep individual pages from getting too long-winded. In your case, your poems were small enough to fit into one or two posts reasonably without too much formatting. If you want to add more to a previous post that hasn't been replied to yet, go ahead and use the "Edit Post" button located at the bottom right of the post box.

Anyway, thanks for contributing to the Anthology and feel free to submit more of your work here in the future!
