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

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Hey old friend,
It's been an age,
Since you graced me,
With a conversation.

We talk about,
All those old things,
The friends you've forgotten,
Their names vanished.

But now you,
Remember our old times,
And see my face,
And maybe this.

Is your only,
True redeeming value today,
Because I know this,
In a month.

You'll forget one more time.[/color]

Lovers

To love, and lose, they say
is better, to ,have not
but I, must say, that losing you
Was the, worse part, of the lot.
Why won't we kiss? Why won't we touch
What was this thing called love
I miss, you oh, oh so much
My little turtle dove
So come, to me, condemn me so
without , you I, Am lost
And I, shall sieze...my life
for without you, lost has little enough meaning...
good bye...die.
die die die

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]It was good,
You were still short,
And I was still tall,
You've definetly hit puberty.

It was sweet,
You have a deep voice,
And I was recognized,
You've paid me a compliment.

It was awesome,
The CDs you let me rip,
And the way you grinned,
And acted the fool with me.

It's going to happen again,
You invited me down for a party,
Maybe I'll come,
And maybe you'll be single by then.

Ha-cha and whopee.[/color]

[RioLaskand]

I can see pure azure
as the breeze rattles on
perpetual peace
for once

I can see snow-fine sand
and crystal waters
they call for me
but I choose to ignore them

The sunsets are perfect
a full rainbow pulled
over the sky in beauty

The people smile
in perfect happiness
but still so fake
serving the rich and fat

I love the life
that I do not lead
because if I had it
I would be disgusted

I love this beauty
so natural and lovely
but the people poisoning it
are truly vile
and make this place
real

OOC: hey everyone from the BAHAMAS! I am loving the air and the perfect landscapes. Other tourists, the kinds that are loud and obnoxious and ruin a perfect sunset are the only thing that are pissing me off. I will be back tomorrow, so I will probably be on more. Talk to you guys from winter very very soon! Ja ne!

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]I'm at a loss for words,
The way you treat me,
It's sometimes bad,
But sometimes good.

And the way you wink,
And compliment me,
And even talk,
Is simple pleasure.

Every time we speak,
I leave a little more,
Happy than I was,
Even if it's just a few words.

But what I can't say,
Only gets in my way,
But I don't really understand,
Why I'm at a loss for words when I'm with you.[/color]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]So what?
That is my reply
The response to your question
An echo to your goodbye.

So what?
I answer to all the who cares
Upon deaf ears
Falls their blank stares

So what?
Sings I, on anon
Fortune?s flight flew from here
It is gone

So what?
What was the question
Never you mind,
I forgot the lesson.
[/color]

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Why do we even talk?
You're cruel,
I'm mean,
We're both so different.

Ah well I guess there's only one reason,
Hope for some gain,
However illcit,
And clandestine by nature.

You're a bad boy,
I'm a naughty girl,
But I still have some semblance of morals,
However dim.

I'm not sneaking out for you,
You'll just have to wait,
But in the meantime,
Carry on.[/color]

[RioLaskand]

Nothing comes out
I try to scream
as I gasp for air
but am stifled once more

My mind refuses
a poor soul
thinking so much
to speak my thoughts

I can only watch
in helplessness
as the subjects leave
my thoughts wasted

I want to scream at them
"What do you think of me?!"
but I am no longer
in control of my voice

Everything else
affects my chords
binding them back
and stopping my breath

I suffocate from rules
and customs
and lives
and cannot speak
to those I wish

I restrain myself
no longer alive
a shell of myself
my soul locked inside

it will break free
because it fights
and struggles
til its spark goes out

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]The way your body arches,
The way the snarl overcomes your features,
As you growl,
And I answer back.

I bare my teeth in response,
You claw your hands,
And the both of us,
Engage in the glare that lasts forever.

You've lost your sanity,
And I barely cling to my own,
But the only problem is,
That we both like it.

Losing what fragile control,
We liked to think we had,
And now that we're here,
And feral.

I can't imagine anything,
That would make me love,
This life I'm living,
Any more than I already do.[/color]

I came up with this while listing to ?Numb? by Linkin Park. Note: there are Quotes from the song they will be in ??.

?I'm tired of being what you want me to be,?
How controlled can?t you be?
?Every step that I take is another mistake to you,?
How can I be more like you?
?Can't you see that you're smothering me,?
I can?t see how you?re not smothering me.
?Is be more like me and be less like you,?
what do I have to do to make you see?

***
wow, that turned out bad. O.o
Here is another i think better.
***
Angel

Why do you mock me?
Your feathered wings flash in the light,
Your little eyes glinting with spite.
Do you mock me for my dream?
Or because I can?t go on to achieve?
The times change you say,
But I am still a little lost angel with no wings.
My dreams fall apart,
I can never fly.
Never join you in the sky,
Stuck on the ground unable to leave this spot.
***
now that was better wasn't it?

[i]Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing;
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.[/i]

[Haze]

down here under the stars
i feel free and completely undone.
never having to do anything
but sit and wait for them to take me home.
back home to space
where my life will be complete.
how i long to be up there once more,
back in the home i once knew.

they know what i am.
they know who i am.
never have to say a word
simply live and die
beside the stars i love.

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Oh my father,
Father,
I feel pain,
My pain.

Their pain,
The whole world's pain!
I'm sweating blood,
Father.

I don't believe,
That I can do this,
God!
Why?

Oh my Father,
I want to do,
The right thing.[/color]

[RioLaskand]

Blessed father I love so dear
dont slap me down,
I will adhere

Feel my pain for I am hurt
with my face
smashed in the dirt

Will your mercy for give my plight
Can I still come
to the light?

Satan wants me yes I know
because my father told me so

I will never see his face
without praying to your grace
He has hurt me physically
but you shall save me
and help me flee

Then we dance and feel great joy
as my wrists join in my ploy
surrendering their lifeblood then
I will return to you again

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]A slow dancing angel,
Makes her way through the sward,
Not even looking heavenwards,
Because she isn't one of them.

Wings have been clipped,
And now she's here,
The earth angel that everyone knows,
But nobody cares about.

And although some might like her,
It's a passing emotion,
And while others are in love,
It's never really real.

Because nobody can love someone,
Who loves all of them,
And can't possible single out one,
To stay with for the rest of this mortal life.

Is she imortal?
No, she is simply an earth angel,
With no rights therin,
Except maybe one.

She loves them all,
No matter what they do,
And this love will be her undoing,
But she doesn't even care.[/color]

[Dagger]

Sunrise flows like water upon flesh
to bless bare shoulders, caressing pallid skin.
She can feel the river stir beneath her boat,
a delicate shell that rides the rising waves.
Her breath is mist and gossamer in winter's icy air.
But winter is no more; this row will herald spring,
will summon warmth into the drifting water.
She is Moses, parting the seasons
as her oars part the wine-dark river below--
she is Venus, gliding to glory
on a single scalloped vessel.
Not naked, though the sun spills soft upon her,
Just alone, and calm,
And strong.

[Sara]

[size=1]The book falls open to a page
Marked by butter, dye and age
Creased and wrinkled, yet so loved
Referenced every year.

Wire shapes are rediscovered
Revived again from year-long slumber
Reindeer, Santa, holly leaves
Cookie-cutter Christmas trees.

Rolling pins are found again
Butter, sugar, shortening
Flour coating everything

And as the sugar flurries fall
It starts to look like Christmas.[/size]

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Light drifts down,
Spreading into rays,
As the water moves,
And the inhabitants sway.

The warmth is a flood,
Entering every part of them,
And spreading life,
Where there could only be death.

Echoes are heard,
Very slow and quiet,
And there is an overwhelming peace,
That covers everything.[/color]

[RioLaskand]

Time passes slowly
as words appear
to be swallowed by white
the keys are clacking furiously
but it means nothing

I cannot begin
no direction to take
I cry out in anguish
as my road turns south

I cannot take that one
it screams of wrong
I cannot go that way,
it is not where I can be

My brain is rattled
from the screen of blank
my letters piercing
a small part of paper's thick hide

I will see soon,
if I keep going
I will stumble,
broken and bruised
on the right road

and my journey shall begin

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Excecute the moves,
Don't falter at all,
Bring your arm around,
And raise it slowly.

All eyes down,
Over your smooth form,
Press the feet down,
But just dig in.

Sway the movements,
Keep them always fluid,
Force yourself to concentrate,
And remember to let.

This time,
Be yours,
Not theirs,
Where you show what you know.[/color]

[RioLaskand]

Two souls connect
physically and greater
I can see the energy
of happiness unbridled

From afar I observe
a watcher on the sidelines
of the energy unfolding before me
for two are in love

their tendrils enrapped together
they walk with a certain elegance
and I crack a smile
not of derisity, but satisfaction
detached, but still part
of a moment of inhibitionless joy

Two are in love
their love is known wide
they see none around them
their aura spreads wide
and I watch, alone
enrapted in the outskirts
of their joy

Smiling...

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Wake up at the crack of dawn,
It's still dark outside,
The clouds gathering,
Barely breaking apart.

Slide out of bed very slowly,
Feet on cold floor,
Eyes blearily opening,
Almost parting completely.

Look up at the condensation,
Coating the window pane,
And smile thinly,
While pulling together.

Spread the clothing out,
Pick the favorites,
And don them with ease,
Then zip the boots up.

Walk out the door,
Down the stairs,
And head for the exit,
Over the burned out light.[/color]

[Dagger]

[i]"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."[/i]

[Raiha]

[color=royalblue]Apply the cosmetics,
Make no false moves,
Rub on the lotion,
Follow with the cream.

Move your hair,
To one side carefully,
As you slide foundation,
Over your smooth face.

Smile softly once,
As you apply blush,
And rub the eyeshadow,
Against your lids.

Then turn again,
And blink for the mascera,
Carefully blotting it,
Then use the glitter.

Careful now,
Line the eyes,
Make no false moves,
And then rub on lipstick.

Follow with lipgloss,
Purse your lips,
And blow a kiss,
To the world.[/color]

[DeathBug]

[color=indigo][size=1]There's another me
Inside of me
He's not someone
You can see
I would be him
Happily
He's who I really
Want to Be

He'd always be
The Best
He could pass
Any test
He could work
With no rest
He wouldn't bend
Under stress
All the ladies would
Be impressed
With the stylin' way
He's dressed

His music?
On key
His arrival?
On time
His life?
In the moment
His colors?
In the line

I could strive
And I could try
I'll never be him
No, not I
You wouldn't confuse me
With this cool guy

The one thing I've got
That's over him
Is that I'm on the outside
And he's stuck
In[/color][/size]
