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

[Raiha]

[COLOR=seagreen]The Rune of Hospitality

I saw a stranger,
I saw a stranger pass by yestereen.

To invite him into my home:
I put food in the eating place,
Drink in the Drinking place.

And he blessed me,
In the sacred name of the Triune.

And the lark sang,
Often, often goes the Christ in the stranger's guise.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Life is like a waterfall
We're one in the river
and one again after the fall.

Swimming through the void
we hear the Word
we lost ourselves
But we find it all...

Cause we are the ones that want to play,
always wanna go
but you never wanna stay.

and we are the ones that wanna choose
always wanna play
but you never wanna loose.

Aerials,
in the sky
when you lose small mind
you free your life.

Aerials,
so up high,
when you free your eyes, Eternal Prize...[/COLOR]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=seagreen]I close my eyes,
Seeing what I only wanted to hear,
But when they open again,
The dream has vanished.

It was all just an illusion,
A trick of the light,
Or lack of it,
And I am sorrowed.

I open my heart,
And something comes in,
But when I try to listen,
It leaves my soul.

So don't look back,
Don't miss the entrance,
Because another night,
Will be too late.[/COLOR]

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]I close my eyes
the lamps glow
sting my retinas.
On the table
my alarm is blaring,
its sensless babble
reminds me of a girl I met
in a fairytale dream.

I arise.
Streching my limbs
I switch off the lamp.
I open my eyes.
Twilight's shadows
dance across the room,
creating a black nebula
infinite in mass.

I splash water on my face.
The water beads on my skin,
tiny diamonds reflecting a spectrum of color.
I fall backwards,
and awake into my fairytale dream,
leaving reality
in a distant echo.[/color]

I Was Wacthing Spider-Man And A Certain Scene Made Me Remeber:


[B]Terror[/B]


I come in from school
Such a delightful day
I see the TV and it all fades away
The twin towers, falling and crumbling
People screaming, the rubble tumbling
You can see the terror in thier eye
Why, oh why must they people die
So, Osama, F*ck Yo Momma
You twsited mother F*cker
That blood, splatted on the floor, that is of an inocent worker
But now I'm Glad, and at piece of mind
Because all of you are not living
Now your up there living it large, With God up in Heaven
Your away from Evil and Phyco freaks
Who kill just for pleasure
But when Osama dies
Soem other freak, his body, will treasure

Well Done Mate! You Should Go!

[Willow]

wow!!! your poems are so good....i hope mine doesn't feel stupid next to them

When your dreams die, falling with silent tears
Remember me, the one who always hears,
When the pains in your heart ,are too much to bear,
I'll be there for you anytime, and anywhere

You've always been by my side,
Always seeing me through,
Know it's my turn to be there for you!

Best friends forever, that's what you always said,
This will be true even after where dead,
A promise I give that no matter what may come,
No matter what we have to bear,
I'll be there for you anytime...and anywhere

[RicoTranzrig]

[color=darkblue]I felt such emptiness I wanted to cry.
I was the one who seemed shy, not knowing what to say.
The silence no longer seems intimidating.
It whispers at you, never shouts. Leads you down a path hoping for more.
I didn?t want to loose the change, which the light had already began.
I had expected to see the same shy smile.
Taken aback by the simplicity of her world.
Whether you wish it or not, life extends all around you, not just from within.
I closed my eyes, if I wanted to cry.
A man can?t be so far without comfort from seeking his family.
To be living this life, it feels like a dream.
T o live normal, how good a life she must feel.
We both kept silent.
At that moment, I wanted to see how much I realized.
A waste of time would mean nothing, They knew my words would.
I decided to keep it a secret in the end.
I didn?t have any choice but to follow my heart.
The air began to feel different. We breathed
?I will come to you,? Her voice drifted off into the air.
Seeking some where soft to hide lost.
Just another phantom, sound, or vision.
How could you not dream in a place like this?
An empty canvas, in which you slowly begin to fill.
Endured all the quiet and loneliness.
The lightest nuance, the slightest sound, can?t miss.
I felt a new surge of energy travel through my body.
I strained to take one last glimpse.
And began to write.

My mother died,
like my father.
My brother cried.
But I don't bother
I never liked them anyway
They were allways yelling at me,
and the same happened the next day,
Now we live with our auntie.

To be continued.......:P

[RicoTranzrig]

[COLOR=darkblue]I don't want to hurt you
but I need to talk
to talk about our love

I don't want to hurt you but I need to walk
Walk away
Walk far away from you

And I
You know I like to find
To give our love another chance
New romance
Give my heart with you

Love is in danger
And it's gonna die
Loving a savior
You got to survive
Love is in danger
I want to give my love a life
A life forever...[/COLOR]

[Boo]

Bravo! Even when you just posted it in a threat :P

[Phantom]

I must say..a lot of material... and its good to have a forum for this type of priceless slur of thought.. Rico you are quite the poet... :-D

[Dragonstar]

I have a really bad poem, in fact I wouldn't even call it a poem. It's on a happier (Crazier) note than the above, wanna hear it.

Leaving Home



Keep on walking
Closer and closer
Turn the knob
Open the door
Take a step
Walk down the path
Open your door
To the car
Get in, strap up
Turn on the engine
Drive off in
The darken sky

Your leaving home
Now you?re alone
Off on your own
Yes your leaving home
Don?t look back
To a darken past
Torn friendships
Of long ago
Your leaving home
Now your alone
Off on your own
Yes your leaving home

Your seventeen
With no friends
Dropped out of school
To get a job
It didn?t work
You hate your boss
Work for cheap
And started drinking
Now your angry
At the world
So you packed your bags
And took of running
Doing some drugs
Always stoned
Your not who
You wanted to be

Your leaving home
Now you?re alone
Off on your own
Yes your leaving home
Don?t look back
To a darken past
Torn friendships
Of long ago
Your leaving home
Now your alone
Off on your own
Yes your leaving home

[Talon]

[color=teal]Okay, some, maybe most, of you are familiar with my work. I have something that you all might like/hate, whatever. Here it is. It's titled "Light at the End of the Hall"

[size=2][font=times new roman][i]I open my eyes, day and night.
Only to see that everyone, I apall.
The hide from me in shame and in fright.
There is no light at the end of the hall.

Can my hunger be fed?
Can my lust stop at all?
These questions swim in my head.
Where is my light at the end of the hall?

She took me in gently when others would run.
Caressed my hard face, heeded my call.
She looked at me as though I were the only one.
I look at her like my light at the end of the hall.[/font][/size][/i]

Well, that's it. Not too good, I know. And Mike, please don't tell me it's repetitive. I know it is. Just had tp post it.[/color]

[Juu]

[color=deeppink] [size=1]It's not repetitive [i]at all[/i]!!

I think it's great! I can't do better than dat.. :whoops:

Bweh.. My poems just suck...[/color] [/size]

[Raquel]

Nice poems everyone... Now... Because this caught my eye... I'm gonna write... (For once)

~~~~
A window shatters,
A childs scream,
Hidden from reality by hiding in a dream,
Dreams of contamination,
Damnation,
Animation of the emptyness inside,
Falling through a silver mist,
Your world clenched in your fist,
Like a captured butterfly,
Held in a jar will die,
Embrace the pain,
Feel the drain,
Watching the blood stain,
Eyes cloud,
You cry aloud,
The blade slips in,
A mortal sin,
Funny,
It's like sleep I feel,
Funny,
This blood looks real.

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]Wow, I haven't posted a poem in a long time, but being in a melancholy mood today I think I will pencil some prose...

I thought that
your touch would heal
but I must have been
misinformed.
For, in place of the pain
which I no longer feel,
I have been left with a void
that is infinite times worse.
Is this what love lost
truly feels like?[/color]

[RicoTranzrig]

It's been too long since I've written poetry...


[COLOR=darkblue]Take a step back or towards
you'll be done for the day.
Take anymore and you'll lose your way.
You may take years to get there, maybe five or so.
Though it might be wise to take heed,
go slow, and get there alive.

[Heaven's Cloud]

[color=indigo]
The rain beats on my roof
pitter-patter, pitter-patter
It stirs me
whispering rumors and lies
arousing my suspicions
turning me against you.

I know the rain
pitter-patter, pitter-patter
lies
But does the wind also?
For it bangs my shutter
clatter-bang! clatter-Bang!
screaming malicious gossip
that it heard from a tree
that saw you and he
walking together.

I know the rain
pitter-patter, pitter-patter
lies
And the wind
clatter-bang! clatter-bang!
may be misinformed
But I fear I have lost you
because my most reliable source,
the stars in the heavens,
have not come out in many a night[/color]

[Mitch]

Well, I decided to post a poem here for once...see how it goes...I know this is a rather long poem, but I think I did a good job...

[color=red][i]FoChanor
I felt my feet touch the floor
as I stepped into a stop between the door
long I stood examining
a room of short space
a room so very small
that upon the tip of my tongue
I could taste the unroominess
and inside that room
was but a tiny chair
it was a worn excuse of a chair
but a chair it was
and as my eyes flew away from that chair
I began to see the room as a whole
the floor was a dirty dirt of soot
that was a black of blacks
the walls were a crackled masterpiece of ancient tatter
and as I stood unwillingly peering about my legs slowly began walking
a sly walk of curiosity thirsting
the dirt flung up in a dust flight
as my feet touched the floor
and as I neared that ancient chair
a crash I heard behind
quickly then I turned around
finding that door to be closed
alas the room was still in light
for at the far edge of the room
stood a flimsy light
a lamp creating a mellow, restricted light
and as I regained my moments lapse
as I turned around I said:
"Just the wind."
I restarted my slow walk of thirst
nearing upon the worn chair
slowly I sat into the seat
making nervous glances about the room
and in that sudden instant
the room expanded into a huge labyrinth
quizzically I glanced around
surprise upon my face in a bland splendor
standing up I perceived a darkly lit hall
and walked into that ghostly entrance
peering about in a mysterious delight
I padded about in my curious flight
and whence I came to the end of the hall
I came to yet another doorway
standing between the door
I did peer into another room once more
and this one did seem the same as the last
small and enclosed
with yet another chair within the center
and as I glanced
upon that chair
I saw that it was no longer a worn out chair
but it looked of a newly furnished chair
and thus I began a hypnotic walk
as again the door behind me shut in a loud clang
but still did I walk
drawn unto that chair like a strongly placed magnet
thus I sat into that welcoming chair
and as suddenly as I there sat
the room yet did change whence again
and as everything rippled about in a watery puddle
suddenly I was no longer in a room
but I was upon a very high hill
a hill so high that as I peered down
all I saw was a great slope of meandering green
yet still I sat upon that comfy chair
for many a time
not wanting to leave the wonderful security which it brought
but as it became dark a coldness began to surround me
an evil air of scattery stare
and that chair no longer seemed secure
so I gathered my wit
and sat up in no longer a sit
slowly I scaled that unending hill
torture it was for my whole body to ill
but still through I made it
by some way of chance
and as I neared the end
dawn reared his starting glance
sweating abound, I stopped for a quick stance
and viewed that beautiful fireball
there sparkling within the heavenly blue sky
thus I ended my long ill trodden journey
and as I stoop upon leveled ground
I turned toward that hope holding light and spoke:
"I hath made my journey."
and thus I turned around
and set my feet upon the so hard ground
as I stepped into a stop between another door[/color][/i]

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue]Bring me a smile,
It will not stop the longing.

Give me your heart,
It will fade to nothing.

Show me your love,
It will find an endning.

Allow me to sing,
It will tear the soul.

Revive me in your mind,
It will close itself.

Hear me out,
It will never close the door.

Let me live life,
It will be entertaining.


I promise.[/COLOR]
