post your fav poem.. your work and or anothers

Mine

To which agony bestills the once beating heart,
I let go of another door opening to my soul.
I'll try to forget your words as you went to depart
But the tears I cry are unquenchable by any lull

I needed you to understand I have things I have to sort out,
because I'm not perfect all the time, I can't always do right
because apparently you've percieved I've forgotten what loves about
and you've drowned into darkness the love I once called light

It hurts more every moment I breathe, I can't survive alone
But then again I always have before
I pushed away the things I had to do, Life itself for you I postpone
but you've sunk a hook into the darkness of my core

Ripping me apart you laugh as you drive down that mile
And I cry here, holding myself because your warmth is gone
you were once the only reason I breathed, the only reason I smile
But now you're the reason I suffer, the reason I feel wrong

So be rightous and let me go for your own refinement
So you could use my unhappiness for your excuse to run away
But agony hath reigned it's hell for where I once thought was heaven sent
And you whip me with the own strings of my naive heart

You made me unhappy, but still yet I stayed
Not yours but always beside you when you needed my help
Of all prices, I've become the one to have done most and been paid
For the pain that I've lived with, the one you've left for trelp

Cry to you I won't do anymore because you make me want to cry
And if you want me to tell you the truth
Again for you, I feel like in my heart I still want to die
but you make the earth closer to my touch because i'm already gone.

ANNABEL LEE


by Edgar Allan Poe
(1849)



It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud by night
Chilling my Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me:--
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
And killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in Heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:--

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea--
In her tomb by the side of the sea.


-- THE END --

My Testament


When I am dead, bury me
In my beloved Ukraine,
My tomb upon a grave mound high
Amid the spreading plain,
So that the fields, the boundless steppes,
The Dnieper's plunging shore
My eyes could see, my ears could hear
The mighty river roar.

When from Ukraine the Dnieper bears
Into the deep blue sea
The blood of foes ... then will I leave
These hills and fertile fields --
I'll leave them all and fly away
To the abode of Cod,
And then I'll pray .... But till that day
I nothing know of God.

Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood
The freedom you have gained.
And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me.

Taras Shevchenko
Pereyaslav,
December 25, 1845

Toronto, 1961

"We are Vampires, you and I. Dark, wounded creatures that feed upon eachother for strange needs. But we can never seperate"...

Just Another
By: Me

just another burden
just another pain
just another droplet
in a field of rain

just another heartache
just another blow
just another break-down
in the freezing cold

one more little smudge
i spilt it agian
made another mark
its just another stain

just another tear
just another cry
just another question
and the answer's, why?

just another scream
just another fight
just anothe blow-out
when the time is right

one more little rip
i cut it again
made another scar
its just another vein

just another gap
just another blade
just anothe stream
in the world i made

just another kid
just another fool
just another life
taken by school

one more little laugh
to those that cried
made another loser
commit...
just another suicide

I wrote this poem for my boy toy of 6 years, when I was in love with him:

"We are Vampires, you and I. Dark, wounded creatures that feed upon eachother for strange needs. But we can never seperate"...

It reminds me of the late Ian Curtis for some reason.

When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart
again (4)

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through
our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again (4)

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart
again (4)

Addiction

By: Me

An addict, no not me
It's my choice, not need
Today it's only two or three
My veins, the spike will bleed

Now, I feel no pain
Memories fade day to day
Chemicals rushing through my vein
Did I get high, yet today....

[MistressJennifer]

There is so much talent here!!!! We should start a punk band and make songs out of all of these.. Wait, I already did that....

Actually my boy toy liked my little poem about him. He usually hates everything. He used to yell at me when I told him I loved him. But now I don't love him anymore, so I don't tell him, so hah! hah!

I liked it better when I loved him. It was a lot sexier.... I think I need a new boy toy.

Our lips are sealed.

What are your qualifications for a boy toy? If you can specify a look, emotional type etc I might be able to order one up in NYC. I have a few friends there who have probably encountered every tragicomedy NYC has to offer.

Waters
These waters wash over me with great dignity,
Waters as clear and blue as my eyes could once see
Under these seas I lie still
Why have I been the one you must kill?
Red waters wash over, stained of my blood,
Over the shore these stains shall flood
I did not ask for this but my peace has been cast
It isn’t so bad to be dead at last.

Ending friendships
People die, and relationships end,
Taking away from you your best friend
Don’t you miss their smiling face
Wish you could feel their warm embrace
Waiting to die,
Only able to cry
From talking to them everyday
Now in their mind you slowly decay
To them you are nothing more
They don’t care you are dead on the floor
In your hand lies a knife,
They stand there laughing at how you have end your life.

(I have A LOT better ones but they are way too long!)

This is a tribute

Little Girl Lost
Thru the alleys of our youth we searched. Thru fields tainted with the blood of that tragic town. So young we were, then, not knowing what it was we were really searching for. The media descended like vultures, foreshadowing what would be found of you. A tragedy without dignity. A tragedy without end.

In the old cemetery they lay, flawed heroes destroyed by the tainted findings of their own paths. There was no moral to the story. It seems to me the more we searched, the more we lost. You had never left us. By your side, some of your searchers now rest for eternity.

It may be left for me, now, to tell the tales. The tales of a time and place like no other. A flow of tears I had never known before or since. Tales of happy children and abrupt goodbyes. The tales, most of all, were of happiness and overcoming. You deserved no less.

It was I who never stopped looking for you. I chased the phantom puppet of your despicable assailant. I heard you whisper for all who left as you did. I searched far and wide, PK. In the end, I could never quite find you.

Thru the alleys of our youth, I am reminded again of that time and place. Thru fields tainted with the blood of that tragic town; I bid remembrance to you, to Q, to K and to all that remains. We had such great times once, and that is all that is to be found now.

Sleep, Little Girl Lost. I must dim the last beacon of light and end my search.

wow poetry , I wrote some a while back and then stopped
but I still remember some
here goes

#1 #2 #3
you stupid cat old man in the sea forty fathoms
go catch a rat where could you be beneath the sea
the stores closed maybe you got eaten when I'm dead
and that is that by the great manitee that's where I'll be


#4
cement me in
and make it deep
another brick
from the heap
use me to build your structure high
use me to help you reach the sky
you put me low
just to show
what fate befalls
the bricks that know
hmmm a bit dated but I still like them

Twisted Fairytale
By:Me

my knight in shinging armour
rides upon a black horse
tarnished steel
a rusty sword
he takes the darkest course

my tower of stone it stands alone
as i fall through the rotten floor
i hear a scream
it asks for more
a tale of twisted scorn

beasts with wings
they fly the sky
their shadows hide the sun
at once there seen
the people flee
as fast as they can run

a fairytale so twisted
distorted and morose
that demons sing
and dance around
and make too many toasts

...........(about my x-fiance)
by me (camby savelle)

I invoke this.drowning in my velvet sea.
I chose you.in hopes you'd help me breath.
Maybe I’m too obsessive & over-protective.
Maybe I’m too-less-of-a-shadow-&-smile-neglective.
Its deeper in your eyes I should have looked.
A privileged chance I could have took.
So I say.so I pretend.so I FUCKING LIE (to myself).
So I lay.at the end.in a happy disguise.(I NEED HELP).
& sometimes I hear your seductive whispers in the air.
& sometimes I close my mind & picture you standing there.
& sometimes I cry with the lights off & hold your dress.
Wishing I could hold it all together.& just forget.
My vanished joy.I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
Ashley I’m sorry for us.that love wasn't enough.
(So this is it)
This is me.the little blue boy.with a broken heart.
(& This was then)
This was you.my abused angel.before our cracked lives fell apart.
& I'd wake for that scarlet sunrise once more.
I'd say “I LOVE YOU” when you walked barefoot on the shore.
Remember our wedding day? how perfect it was suppost to be.
Just us. staring with the nightsky.wishing it more then fantasy.
This is the last time I hate myself.for never letting go.
The fallen child of a past dream.losing your hold.
Now I’ll smile.even if it wasn't meant to be.
My destined conclusion of a story.sold so beautifully.

it is awsome I love the way you put your pain in to your writing

[Shadow]

I believe there's a place where the restless souls wander. Burdeend by the weight of their own sadness thy cannot enter heaven. And so thy wait, trapped between this world and the next, endlessly searching for a way to rid themselves of their pain in the hope that somehow, some day they will be reunited with the ones they love.

[franziska]

I'd like to turn this one, with a little bit of editing, into a song for my band... and, at some point, I'd like to write a HAPPY poem or song. Anyone else find that impossible or at least very hard?

Gossamer Wings

I fly on gossamer wings,
high above crowds
away from the cities,
away from everything

the only thing that can
bring me down is you,
but if you tear my wings
i'll never forgive you
because i put all my trust
all my hope, all my love
in your heart
and i can't stand to fall

so I fly on gossamer wings
away from everything
fragile like a spider's web
and distant like the sea

If I fall, it will be for you
will it be far enough for you
I don't know
I never know, I never will
Tell me when you want
wings of your own,
of mesh and lace and cloud
and I will give them
If you let me
if you let me

but now I fly on gossamer wings,
away from everything
fragile like a spider's web
and distant like the sea
I fly on gossamer wings
i know of the holes in lace
I know you can tear the mesh
But I'll let you fly with me

If you let me...

i cant write happy stuff ive pretty much sworn id never do it again because when i write happy stuff but then again i said the samr thing about writing acoustic stuff but as it turns out some of my best stuff is either accoustic or it started out as accoustic maybe you just need happy influences cause the thing that got me writing accoustic stuff was listening to to the alice in chains unplugged cd

By the way i really like that poem

[BloodyRomance]

When I attempt to write happy poems it just really gets me freaking pissed off!

[Mr Karl]

happy poem by me

last night I heard the peasants sing
'bout things that chime and things that ring
it seems that someone broke the clock
and smashed the peices with a rock

but know now that I am the king
I like my things that chime and ring
I'll take the money from your sock
I will get back my tick and tock

last night I heard the peasants wail
that all thier crops were smashed by hail
thier livestock all died from disease
thier children stung by killer bees

but know now that I am the king
and poverty my taxes bring
I try not to laugh at your hungry pleas
My food it comes from overseas

and now this king that has grown old
has lived a life that was fortold
by your peasant witch so long ago
it's all you wanted it's all you know


my very own happy poem, well it makes me happy

[morbid_lady]

these were my two favorite poems when i was little.

On the Ning Nang Nong

on the ning nang nong
where the cows go bong
and the monkeys all say boo
theres a nong nang ning
wheres the trees go ping
and the tea pots jibber jabber joo
on the nong ning nang
all the mice go clang
and you just cant catch em whent hey do
so its ning nang nong
cows go bong
nong nang ning
trees go ping
nong ning nang
the mice go clang
what a noisy place to belong
on the ning nang ning nang nong

Two Witches

there was a witch
the witch had an itch
the itch was so itchy it
gave her a twitch

another witch
admired the twitch
so she started twitching
though she had no itch

now both of htem twitch
so its hard to tell which
witch has the itch and
which witch has the twitch

[Pzychotic]

Depression
It covers me like a warm blanket

Forever close and tight

I know not how to shake it

My security in the night

It gives me inspiration

Lives inside my head

I try in desparation

It'll be with me until I am dead

I so want to break these chains

I live with the fear

This that cause my pains

I can't shed a tear

I live life, as I should

I know pain, fear and love

I would lose it if I could

Someone give me a shove

It's kind of long and stupid sorry!
Come with me my dearest girl,
Come with me into my cold dark world
The monsters creep here all night long
So come with me while we sing our song
In the dark of the night we stalk the living
We kill all night , that's our way of giving
We are doing you all a favor by sending you to your home
Down where the flames will make ashes of your bones
Don't sin little girl, don't be like me
You don't want to die like me, hanging by a rope from a tree
Come with me into the gates of hell
Where you can no longer hear that wretched church bell
Come with me into my cold dark world
So sinister,the purest skin shall be curled
Down we go, laughing all the way
Little girl you shouldn't obey, this will surely be the end of your day
Satan has come for you
Your life is done for you
Decaying slowly rotting to the bone
The pain so great you can't help but moan
The pain will never stop
For eternity you will drop
It's unbelievable
Simply inconceivable
You are mine now, a slave of death
You have breathed your very last breath
Diving into the flames of dawn
Follow me , now come along
Perish young one into your grave
Your the one I'm going to save
The flames lick you
Satan kisses you
Die little girl
Just give it a whirl
You might find it fun
To consume everyone
Come with me little angel into your grave
Now you be the one to be brave
Falling, falling into the hole
This is where you shall stay because your life I have stole
Dark, damp mudd to consume you
This is what I have done to you
Decaying slowly fading away
Rotting away right where you lay
You will be like me
Which should fill you with glee
You are no longer sane
But you still feel all the pain
Now your god will be Satan, pure evil he is
No little child you are one of his
From the pits of the grave flames rise
Taking you to your god you despise
Rising from the flames is Satan himself
Now that he has you, he has found his new wealth
A kiss on the cheek will send you to hell
No one can hear you, so don't bother to yell
Falling endlessly through time and space
Now you must believe that death has a face
Hell is a place with endless fears
A story well told by all your shed tears
The blood from your eyes drips on to the burnt ground
This is where your eternity has been found
Sinner sinner
I shall have you for dinner
You are the one that I seek
From your cuts blood shall leek
Gripping tight I pierce your skin
This is what you get for your sin
I want to lick your bones until they are dry
Come on, stop me..I'd like to see you try
Come with me my dearest girl,
Come with me into my cold dark world
Your now in hell, Satans lair
For your sin, it's only fair
Dream go to sleep and take a break
Just remember here you will never wake
We don't need the sun
To burn everyone
Here in hell you will stay
In the darkness you will lay
The only light is the flame
Which should fill you with all your shame
Worship me with great power
Do it now or it's you I will devoure
All these souls they are my heat
I'm the only one that cannot be beat
I shall throw you down
But down make a sound
You cannot beat me
You cannot defeat me
In my world you shall stay
Always here day after day
Nobody cares for you
No one will be there for you
You are dead now
Satan has kissed you now
I have taken away every real
Lives are simply so easy to steal
If I go in your mind you won't believe what I'd find
Insane you have become
Just like everyone
Never return to Earth
This is your new birth
Hell is filled with bitter illusions
Real or not , it's your conclusion.

a friend ofmine a zillion years ago (okay like 7) wrote this..
A Symbiotic Compilation of Post Apocalyptic Rhetoric



By Rev. Nebachadnezzar

Fried worms and cheese you ask me of me?I would not dream of killing thee.The sanctity of life exsists, though not a virtue on my list.

Purple monkeys fly by night, armed with spoons and dynomite.Scavengers of you and I, they beat us down from the sky.

Camels, clouds, and underwear... what are you doing under there?Zipcord Lemmings stole my cake...I need its power to awake.

Lightning has fermented me, come vegetate and you will see.Gravy, gravy everywhere! (Yet not a head upon my hair.)

Visit Bob and find your shoes.This is a game you'll never lose.

There's something else that you will see... five dollars cash do you owe me.

[Vitorro]

Since I didnt know of this thread when I posted the Ode to Death Poem, I guess I will share two others I wrote, the first is a poem, the second is a song I wrote

Rain Falls

Like a washing of the soul
From the dark clouds of My life
It cleanses the face of sorrow
It brings sorrow to the face
Lightning like a slap,
Thundering through the body like hate
The awakening it brings to Me
The Love, the sorrow, the hate it brings
The clashing of goodness and evil envelops all
The eternal rain of life

Rain Falls
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Play With Me

I come to you,
to feel your pain
to end the days
out in the rain
you came to me,,
no child of mine,
and turned your back
the very first time.
without a cause,
with out a clue,
I took the life
right out of you
the blood that fell
onto the ground
fills me up
bought you back around

it took no time for you to see
it took no time for you to be
mine forever
an eternity,
doll to play with
now play with me,

never moving,
never gone
mute forever
nothings wrong
Give Me pleasure
give you pain

now your lifeless
a lump of clay,
waiting for someone
to come and play
with your mind gone
you are mine
I have made you
you are blind
without remorse
there is no shame
but the end has
already came

it took no time for you to see
it took no time for you to be
mine forever
an eternity,
doll to play with
now play with me,

I can see you
you wont run
cause you need me
I am the One

enjoy

Mik
