Yeahs. Here you can post any poetry you find... okay/good/awesome/funny, etceterra.

Like mine, for instance. It's called 'The Masquerade of Life'. The meaning is that life sometimes is fake, but some things are forever.

Life is sometimes but a masquerade,
A lie, a deceit, and the cover-up fades,
But when something is undying,
Like an ember, per say
It shines forever,
Tomorrow and today

One doesn't fret or doubt,
If the fire will ever go out,
They simply believe it will stay,
Burning until there is nothing to burn,
Yet the fire stays that way,
Turning what isn't there to turn

As night falls, the ember is the light,
The beacon of hope, rendering my sight,
Alas, it shines,
Through night and through day,
An undying ember
Is there to stay
Never to burn out, never to fade
A light in the dark
A drop of the sun
To guide our way

[Moony~!]

*clappers* Beautiful Kei, lately I've been writing poems with less ryming.. O.O They sound terrible but oddly I'm attatched to them. *goes on a poem craze*

ALL OF THESE POEMS ARE COPYRIGHT MOON~! AKA~ LYDIA RUTH S*****

{All in All}

All in All
Time is at it's end
We aren't the same anymore
But I'm still me
And you're still you
Hence what else are you but a friend?
You're a /companion/
The bright morning star that keeps me going
You are the glimmer of hope
That no one else saw
You opened up what I truly am
And for that I thank you
Though life moves on
And we grow old
We remember the people that changed our lives
You are one of those people because...
You have smoothed my path
Brushed away the clouds of sadness
Brought lights of joy
And created tears of laughter
And for that you will remain in my heart forever

{True Happiness}

You want to fly?
Jump out the window.
You want a life?
Cry.
You want happiness?
You can’t have it.
No one knows what true happiness is.


Presents are nothing.
Our goals accomplished?
They are closer to being content.
Love is mild.
But hey, when it`s as magical as that.
You can`t help but think it`s the closest thing.

No one knows what happiness is.
No child of this age.
Danger lurks around every corner.
Kidnapping, theft, neighborhood shootings.
Gangs are a nono
And these days a walk in the park is almost a deathwish
Nowhere is safe
Fear threatens to trample even the brightest of hearts

People say racism is over?
No it`s not.
People hold onto the past.
Blacks, Whites, and others too

Why point out all these bad things about the world?
Because everyone knows it`s true
They just push it aside and move on
Now those people are gifted.
But not everyone can do that
Some people come to school
Pins, knives, and guns at hand

Some people aren`t as tough as others
So why can`t the tough ones out there
Help the ones who are desperate enough to end their own lives?
Depression overwhelms millions because of just a few simple words

No one knows true happiness
But can`t we try?
Can`t we come close?
Deaths surround us, and we don`t give a care
Cold hearted and self righteous
We don`t dare to help the homeless
The people in need
The orphans down the street

Life is miserable
And everyone must accept it
But eventually all of this must change
Take a look at all of the developement from the past
Is it necessarily good?
Life will move on but for years to come
Generations will have to dwell in the horid world

So why not help?
Our children, grandchildren, and far descendants
Help turn this world into a place of peace
It may just save the life of a loved one someday
Oh yes... yes it just may...

(That was a very Emo day for me o.O)

{Do You Remember?}

Do You Remember?
When it was...
Just you and me?
We were so happy...
All alone...
On that wide open prairie home...

Do you remember?
There were no roads
No stupid neighbors
For miles 'round...
The stars would shine
Not daunted true...
On that wide open prairie home...

The pools would glisten...
Becomin' the milky way...
The wind would whisper
Our secrets all day
Life was perfect...
On that wide open prairie home...

Now why can't we...
Go back...
To that wide open prairie home…
MY home…

{DOLFINZ!!!}

Flip & Flop
Jump and Dive
Blue or Gray
Their own language they say
Swim & Sail
Beep and Squeel
Fly through the air
Sweet as a pear
Smooth yet slimy
Wet & Weird
Quaint and queer
They`re strangely near
Listen closely...
Those things you hear...
Are the bottle nosed dolphins
My sweet dear


--NOT REALLY PART OF THE POEM--

And we say a chant!
DOLFINZ!
Lala-ula
DOLFINZ
Lala-ula!
Those are the dolphins
My sweet dear
Lalala
They`re right here!

{To Recieve What`s Mine}

Gone back in time
To recieve what`s mine
Wyoming before
Her great human infestation

The prairie lands
Golden and flat
Speckled
With flowers in bloom
Then they fold out
Revealing the strangest of pradise
A forest lay before me
Its majestic glory revealed

It slowly ascends
Up the heavens
Creating the snow capped hill
Mist all around
Barely a sound
Spoken in the silent air

I glance at the ground
To truly declare
I`ve returned to my love
My life now complete

My heart skips a beat
I take my last breath
My dying sight
My life`s true desire

I`ve gone back in time
To recieve what`s mine
The rockies will truly inspire

{They're So Truly Dazzling}

They're So Truly Dazzling
The way they resemble all;
The soft moist texture...
The most varied thing I recall
Carried softly by the wind
Nothing wanders farther, nor so sure
The way the sunlight glistens
Through their pale morning glore

The true destruction hidden
The darkness down beneath...
The way they suddenly change
From pleasant;
To deathly unique
The way they wisp through the wind
The farthest thing to be seen
Not dafted by the morning fog nor the evening fiend
The way they overpower..
The most accomplished of all
They block out the ultimate light
With no pity at all
Now reading this list of reasons...
You must think
What are these dazzling things?

And you shall be surprised
To hear my answer true


Why they're the common cloud
Is the answer from me to you

{Much Too Soon}

Much too soon
You were gone
You were found dead
And sadly much more

That fateful night came the call
To leave my friends
And to take a drastic fall

Sitting in that living room...
It was silent as could be
I waited to get in trouble
Maybe I could save myself and be free?
But no, what came was total shock
No grandfather hurt
No sickly illness

The lights were dull
And my father seemed about ready to cry
But alas he only let out a uncomforting sigh
Then he told me the news
And gave me solacing words

He told me I could cry
But I barely even heard
Too lost in that sorrowful daze
I barely remember a single phrase

I cried myself to sleep that night
Gasping for a single breath of air
But now I know you're with him
In heaven, need not despair

Though to my great dismay
I may never know
Why God took you that night
And never brought you home

{LONELY}

Lonely..
Life can be lonely
Striving on fear
When no one is near

As demonstrated, by many before
Compared to those who can't wait to meet their ends...
Life is merely folklore...

Lonely...
It sucks to be lonely!
In moments of trials
And moments of tears
Lonely... I'm glad I'm not lonely

For I am followed by loyal subjects
Surrounded by my Knights
My life is really a folklore story
If you compare it to others
And their lives

{WHAT IS THE MOON? (Random)}

Have You Ever Wondered…
What the moon really is?
How come each planet has more and more…
And yet, it’s only described as it’s name?
Don’t you think it’s strange that…
It rotates around the earth…
And some have said…
It reminds them of cheese?

Well, you see.
I have a hypothesis.
I think it’s a star blown by the wind…

Yeah yeah, I know.
There’s no wind in space!
Well, just as I don’t think ‘gravity’
Makes it go in circles
I don’t think wind isn’t in that large place!
All black and white, twinkling with stars.
Wouldn’t it make sense that the Moon…
Is really a star blown by the wind?

{JESUS CRUCIFIXION}

I sat at the foot
Of a cross that night
My only company
A weeping woman
I watched as guards
Poked and pried
They even asked
The most obvious of questions
Only to mock his reply
He drew his last breath
And noon was night
The deed was done
God’s own son
Died, killed, crucified

{IM INA FIX}

I...(<---pause) hate you more than an...Y(<--- higher)...thing
I... don't know what this is I feel
You... still love me more than an...Y...thing
Why...? Don't you hate {me}(<-- lower) too?

Lemme tell you…
Those hea'nly words cut me... TO... {pi-e-ces
I've gotta wonder why o why that's all you've-got… to say...
I’ve gotta wonder why o why you still look at me that way

I see your face and... my heart starts a'beatin
I see your smile... and-it brightens my day
My feelings... start-to MIX |O-o-oh|(<--- background singers)
Do I hate you, love you?
Can’t get my feelings straight
Baby, now I see it... I'm in-a fix... (repeat two times, first time higher pitch, second time lower)

{STARRY NIGHT (Random)}

I looked up at the starry night
And I saw your face up on the moon
And I couldn’t help but--- Wonder why…
Oh no it…
It ain’t no hilusination
It ain’t no illusion (Yeah..)
My friends keep tellin me
It’s one simple thing… Oh..
It’s your face imprinted on my mind
It’s your face imprinted in my sight
It’s your face imprinted on my whole system
Oh baby…
It’s your face imprinted on my mind
It’s your face imprinted in my sight
It’s your face imprinted on my whole system
Oh baby, It’s just one amazin thing…
It’s your lovely smile
Oooooooooooooooh,
I looked up at the starry night (It ain’t no hilusination)
And I saw your face up on the moon (It ain’t no illusion; Yeah..)
And I couldn’t help but--- (My friends keep tellin me)
Wonder why… (It’s one simple thing… Oh..)
It’s your lovely smiiile…

{THREE LITTLE GUESSES}

Three little Guesses... sat all day long.
Upon a tree singing a mere little song.
The melody was lovely, and their intentions were pure.
They wished to protect, to find their master's cure.
Their song went like this, word for word.
Listen and guess, my little bird.
But before you attempt, look at the price.
I doubt these three little Guesses will be very nice.

Our master looms up at the top
Of this very tree flippedy flop
Before seeing master
We wish to know
Your knowledge and skills
Of trickery and flow
We will give you three tries
One for each Guess, we tell no lies
We wish to know
Your luck too
Now guess who our master is
What you think better be true..
And if you are wrong
Here is the price
You will go bye bye!
Without any advice

Now I must say
I’d be a little scared
I were you, in your place
I’m some one you know
And I’m the master impared
You have three little guesses
To who I really am
If you aren’t right…
Well that’s not up to me
You really want advice?
Guess who I am sitting at the top of the tree

{GRASS}

Most don’t care
Most don’t wonder
Most don’t even take a glance
Let alone wish to share
What I’m going to tell you

For there is something that enters your sight
Nearly everyday
Something most don’t even notice
Let alone stand and ponder
Why is has such quiet beauty

It can grow tall, it can remain short
It can smile at you
Can even show a source of comfort
This thing can rest on hills
Flourish in basins
Maybe possibly even conquer death
For one day it’s gone
Then it has returned the next

This green sea
That conquers the fear of many
That you don’t even notice..
Is grass
For grass isn’t the average thing
It glitters in the moonlight
Beside the holy pool
It can reflect anyone’s personality
From sharp and spiky
To sweet and smooth
Grass isn’t your wannabe
But do you think grass wants to be you?

Grass is grass many say
Step, kill, crush, and eat
Maybe even glare
We wish to ignore the beauty of nature
To do what we want
Claiming OUR life is the one that’s unfair

Most don’t care
Most don’t wonder
Most don’t even take a glance
Let alone wish to share
The beauty of grass
Natures most wonderful flare

{Autumn}

The creek of the wooden floors
As the world approaches dawn
Manages to remind me
Of the owlish hoots
After dusk has gone

The silent reflective words
Tell the truth about the maker
Enough to make your belly churn
Enough to make your imagination overturn

As the autumn leaves sprinkle the trees outside with their brilliant splendor
The wisping wind chooses and different path
One that makes them a dangerous contender
For the majesty of the air
Is something that even the trees
Cannot think to compare

Autumn mornings
Autumn nights
Silhouettes of birds
Fleeing from the soon to come
Falling snow's bitter bites

Autumn mornings
Autumn nights
Their beauty can be seen
In the grace of the sun
Or in the glow of the city lights

{I Love You}

“I love you.”

Those three words
Left me breathless
Standing still alone as you walked away
But I knew you were still there
Metaphorically that is
The feel of your touch lingered on my skin
Your soft lips still rested on mine
In my mind-- at least

My confidence had suddenly increased
My life now had a meaning
You were there to comfort me
You were there to keep my heart at ease
You had the key to the secret chest
That held my feelings at bay
You held the power to crush me
You could do with me as your mind said you may

The many pieces you found me in
Were now as good as new
One whole being
I was together again, all thanks to you
But hidden beneath the fine finishing
There were cracks waiting to be pressed
There were past scars
Waiting to be put to the test

I met you again
In the same setting as that dreamy night
Those three words you spoke to me
The first two were sweet to my ears
I waited to hear you say it again
Those words that left me
With meaning, but all alone

I was disappointed
I heard those three words
But only they were different
One small word
Of very great importance, decided to change
I tried not to listen
To the warnings in my head
I thought I’d heard you wrong
I asked you to repeat them again
Your soft but honey voice still rings in my ear
It taunts my feelings, the illusion is clear
The superglue you’d used to mend me
Ever so ugly looking as it may have been, left
I had nothing, nothing to keep me here

But I know now that it was meaningless
I see now that that was all a big mistake
To entrust my life’s treasure to you
Once you said those words
You threw that chest out into the river
And in the surprise of the truth..
I broke into pieces
Thousands, millions, trillions more than before
The moment you’d said those words
I knew… You’d abandoned me

Don’t you dare try to return
Don’t you dare say you’re sorry
Because I know the truth
Because everytime you open your mouth
In my mind the same words seem to come out
The only thing you’re allowed to say
Are the words that broke this girl’s heart
The only thing you’re allowed to say
Still haunts my dreams to this day

Those three words…
“I love her.”

{Random}

Lonely… Life can be lonely
Without anyone—to tell about you~r life!
Lonely! Life is so looo~nely!
Without anyone---to tell about you~u!
200 years ago.. loneliness appeared in my life.
2000 years ago loneliness just plain appeared.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago loneliness
Didn’t exist.. it came in jealousy~y…
Ohohoh~!
Lonely! Life is so looo~nely! Eheheh~!
Lonely! Life is so looo~nely! Eheheh~!
You don’t have no one to tell the truth!
No one to tell a lie!

{Nameless}

Does he even know I’m there?
Does he even know I care?
Is this cold attitude a sign
Of the fact that I’m just an annoyance
Just another person that randomly says hello?

To him, I really wish to know, what I am.
He is, as you could say, everything to me
I’ve counted his words
All that he’s said..
It’s so low, is that okay?

Do I even have a chance?
There’re so many other girls
And so many of them after him
Liking him.. isn’t that special I know
But if he likes me back, that’s something isn’t it?

But truly, how am I special?
He’s abandoned me before.
Who says he won’t do it again?
Some men and women cling
Just like me, to past people they love
It’s a mystery whether he does

If he doesn’t care about me from out past times
What hope do I have?
Could I really possibly make him fall for me again?
I wasn’t ready to leave him.
But I think he was.

He’s said some things that’ve made me happy
And he’s said some things that’ve made me cry
Are they just empty words
All of them? The good.. and bad?
Is he just saying them to pacify my continually knocking voice?

So many questions
All because of one guy
Empty words or not, they affect me
Whether he knows I’m there or not
He still affects me
Whether he cares, whether he knows I care
Doesn’t matter anymore
I’m glued to this thought

Though I’m just about ready to give up
I can’t give up again
I’ve broken some one’s heart
Because of this disgusting drug of a guy
Would it really be right to turn back now?
I love him
I hate him
There isn’t much else to say
I wish to send this poem
But I’m too afraid
I believe I’m content with just sharing my feelings
But who can I trust?
And am I truly.. okay with just that?

Every time I see him
As he’s suspected.. it makes me sad
Because I ask these questions to myself
Whether the answer matters or not
Does he even know I’m here right now?
If so, why doesn’t he tell me stay
Or go away
Does he even know I care?
If so..
What I really need to know..
Is does he know why?

{Moon Quoteh--}

Why Do We Dream When Our Thoughts Mean Nothing?

Because in the eyes of a child, nothing is something. And that something is what makes the world the world.

{SERENETRAZ}

There once was a lady
Who looked like a star
She had a mere song
Sung all night long
One single twirl
Became her dance
Though it was majestic enough
To make her fellow planets prance

One single kiss
From her blood red lips
Guarunteed death and love
Her pearly white hair
Flew wildly; without a single care
And yet it awed
The most skeptical of all
Her ice blue eyes
Created a cool chill
For anyone who heard her cries
Then the sun would rise
The night would be done

Her song would stop
Her beauty not seen
Though every night
She returns
My love, my queen...
Serenetraz...
MY sea of gleaming stars

{Tainted Snow}

I miss your smiles
And the comforting hug of a friend
But now, what was your job is mine
What’s gone is gone and what’s here is here

I wish I could hear your energetic voice
Instead of your grief-stricken sobs
That man broke your heart
And in turn he also broke mine

Every droplet of water
That escapes your eye
Shreds my conscience to pieces..
And gives my mind a blow of reality

You have every right to act how you act
But he had no right to do what he did
My friend is lost
Another part of my family now as good as dead

He left you alone, to tend for yourself
And when it was obvious you needed him
He turned and ran
He took away the one thing you needed..
His love

If he thought it all was a game
Boy was he stupid
If he thought you’d be alright
Damn it all, he was wrong

The old you is gone
The new you is here
As your world turns to blackness
Only the snow remains
Only the snow that’s tainted by your tears..

{Tainted Roses}

Time has passed
I haven’t seen you for what seems ages
My world is dark and pointless

I look at your picture
On the pedestal
As if expecting you to come back to life

And there he is
The man, the cause of your death
Sitting there, one tear trickling down his face

The music of the organ sounds
And I walk like a zombie up the aisle
Approaching your pale peaceful looking body

He’s right behind me
Maybe I can wring his neck?
Yet he seems so sad and defeated

He has no woman by his side
What he’s wearing isn’t even the respectful attire
But the clothes you gave him that year

Tears swelling in my eyes
I don’t think I can make it
The roses are about to dry

I hear whispers from the pews
And some one gave me a gentle nudge
As if urging me on kindly

I set the roses right beside your picture
They were white
The kind you always liked

In the background I hear a wail of sadness
And it seemed to spread to me too
A tear escaped my eye
Though I was trying my best not to cry..

That droplet hit the roses
It was the snow’s turn to have a companion
Those white roses still sit there to this day
Those white roses and that snow..
Now tainted with my tears too

{Bell of Calling}

The bell of calling
Is it’s name
The name of the thing
That draws us to him

He holds out his hat
With his toothy little grin
Shouting the same line over and over
“Donate for Charity”

For every ring
Come many dollars
For every shout
Come a few cents more

It may not be the cause
But the bell of calling
Is the symbol of rising..
After falling

{Nameless}

{VERSE} Invisible hands grasp my throat
My heart is mixed with emotions
Nothing I say
Can undo what has happened
Nothing I can do
Can bring you back

{REFRAIN}Everything’s so unfamiliar
Without you by my side
A best and loyal friend
Gone.. forever

{VERSE}The stars seem to fall
Like tears on a face
And the sun seems to disappear
Like you did before me
All is a mystery
In this new world unknown

{REFRAIN}Everything’s so unfamiliar
Without you by my side
A best and loyal friend
Gone.. forever


{BRIDGE}All hope is lost
All motivation gone
The thing that gets me through the day
Isn’t here, no
Not anymore

{VERSE}I miss you more every minute
It multiplies by the second
I feel the emptiness growing inside me
I don’t think I can take much more
All I can do is wish you were here

{End}Everything’s so unfamiliar
Without you by my side
A best and loyal friend!
Best and loyal friend..
Gone..
Forever

{Nameless}

Mommy’s crying again
She won’t even tell me why
Haven’t seen papa for ages now
Mommy said he went bye bye

Up until now
He’s been the reason
He’s been the reason my mommy’s sad
But today we went to the Doctor
And today I saw my Dad

I don’t think Mommy realized he was there
But I think he heard what Doctor said
Daddy looked so angry today
Even angrier when Mommy started smoking again
Way back last May

Doctor said something about lungs and cancer
Mommy looked so shocked
And my Daddy looked so sacred..

Mommy said it’s all her fault
Her fault I’m going to die
I don’t understand at all
Really Mommy, I feel fine!

Xx~xX

Mommy and Daddy fought last night
I couldn’t hear what they said
When they were done they came and checked on me
Mommy gasped and took me out of bed

Now I’m in this place
It’s so scary and white
But Mommy and Daddy are here
Everything will be alright

Daddy tells me, as quiet as he can
To try my best to breathe
I’m trying to tell him that I can’t
It’s hard enough to see

I feel this pain in my chest
Everything but Mommy and Daddy disappears
Mommy let out a cry of sadness
And Daddy grabbed her hand
Then.. they were gone

Mommy never smoked again
She visits my grave every day
Second hand smoking killed me.
What about you, will you have your say?

[kei]

Oh jeeze. Was I honestly going to share this with you guys? xDD I found it in 'Gracie's Poem Notebook, '07-'08' xDD I was apparently really emo and thinking about cutting myself. I even wrote a meaning! xDD
Title:: By Myself
Meaning:: Even though you might feel like you're alone, there's always someone you can confide in.

As the moon lights the dance floor
I stand, waiting for your hand
But alas, it never comes
And I know it won't
For you're gone forever
And I'm left alone,
Like a lamb with its mother slain

I try to cease my excuses
And say you will return
But as I try
I seem to find
That my own physical pain
Makes up for yours

All throughout my life
I've been guided in ways
Those ways disapprove of my own
And the feeling is mutual
As I watch the blood flow
I wonder where my life has gone

What have I done with my friends?
Where did they go?
How could I shield my eyes from seeing this long?
How did I not realize that I'm not alone?
I can pour my feelings into their hearts
And they will accept it
For they are true and divine

Now, my friends
Don't follow in my footsteps
Go find your divine friends
And tell them if you're wrong
Confess your sins
And never wound yourself
For something that you can't predict

[Kisa-luff<3]

I wrote a poem once. I lost it though so instead here's my favorite poem of all time:

The Raven- Edgar Allan Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost Lenore -
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me - filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
`'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door -
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; -
This it is, and nothing more,'

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
`Sir,' said I, `or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you' - here I opened wide the door; -
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before
But the silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, `Lenore!'
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, `Lenore!'
Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
`Surely,' said I, `surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -
'Tis the wind and nothing more!'

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
`Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,' I said, `art sure no craven.
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door -
Bird or beast above the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as `Nevermore.'

But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered - not a feather then he fluttered -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have flown before -
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.'
Then the bird said, `Nevermore.'

Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore
Of "Never-nevermore."'

But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking `Nevermore.'

This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
`Wretch,' I cried, `thy God hath lent thee - by these angels he has sent thee
Respite - respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil! -
Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted -
On this home by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there balm in Gilead? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Prophet!' said I, `thing of evil! - prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God we both adore -
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore -
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

`Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
`Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!

Starlit Nights (Poem about warriors! xDDD)

---

A warrior so brave to fight,
Is lust still in his eyes?
Even in the dim dark of night,
Within his heart hatred lies.

The glimmering stars so far above,
The silver night to stalk,
The feather of a snow white,
Is prey as well as hawk.

Vengeance is thus only said,
To those cats who gaze down,
To the family that is dead,
Within their blood they drown.

Flashing claws of a fight,
Within a starlit night.

Werewolf Blood

---

Hunt of the night,
Sleep of the day,
A starry moon,
The sunshine wave.

With wolven eyes,
And human’s heart,
A werewolf’s blood,
A man to start.

Thy teeth and claw,
A traveling soul,
A heavy burden,
An outcast, rouge.

Paw steps in mud,
Hard rock and sand,
Long stretched days,
On grassy lands.

Few months go past,
Death draws me near,
My failing hope,
Hatred and fear.

My food is scarce,
Water all dry,
Werewolf fallen,
Soon to die.

War

---

Flight by night,
Sights unseen,
Mystic world,
Glades of green.

Fury risen,
Fight bestowed,
Swords clash,
And blood flows.

Light arise,
Dark revealed,
Demons divide,
And angels heal.

Griffins call,
Horses neigh,
Magic washes,
The blood away.

A call of triumph,
A thousand kings,
Call upon,
Dancing wings.

Proud heads high,
Scars all done,
The creatures love,
The realm they’ve won.

Veteran's Light

---

Gone into darkness with no hope or faith,
Staring blankly at my surroundings, and seeing no light.
My forever aching heart, and myself inside is lost,
What I needed the most was those I hold close and dear,
But they have left me alone in the darkness,
Where shall I go? Where shall I flee?

Lost all of my hopes, and my dreams as I flee,
And the thunder in my soul only darkens my faith,
The eyes all upon me staring out of darkness,
Their glimmering look, yet cold chilling stare is my only light,
Who are they to be; the ones I once held dear?
Among eyes of the night, I still feel lost.

Scrambling to find my soul that’s lost,
And from the ones who take my hope I flee,
And try to forget the ones I held dear,
They are who helped me lose my faith,
Though what do I see, deep in me a light?
Or is it too, gone into darkness?

My life once again faded into darkness,
I hold myself close because of the lost,
Did the ones I hold dear, crawl to the light?
Or was their wish to let me fight then flee?
My hope is for my heart to grow with faith,
And find those all I once held dear.

Is that them watching me, the ones I held dear,
They have clambered their way out of darkness,
And in heaven they stay along with my faith,
I am no longer scared, and no longer lost,
Once chased by the demons, I had to flee,
Though now they crumble beneath gods light.

My source of hope and soul is light,
So one day I will be with the ones I hold dear,
Though until then not I, but only demons will flee,
From my faith, and my hope, they run into darkness,
And as I once was, they will be forever lost
As I now stand tall on my pillar of faith.

To see those of the same lighted faith,
To hold those who are no longer lost, those so dear,
And to never again flee from darkness.

Mommy’s crying again
She won’t even tell me why
Haven’t seen papa for ages now
Mommy said he went bye bye

Up until now
He’s been the reason
He’s been the reason my mommy’s sad
But today we went to the Doctor
And today I saw my Dad

I don’t think Mommy realized he was there
But I think he heard what Doctor said
Daddy looked so angry today
Even angrier when Mommy started smoking again
Way back last May

Doctor said something about lungs and cancer
Mommy looked so shocked
And my Daddy looked so sacred..

Mommy said it’s all her fault
Her fault I’m going to die
I don’t understand at all
Really Mommy, I feel fine!

Xx~xX

Mommy and Daddy fought last night
I couldn’t hear what they said
When they were done they came and checked on me
Mommy gasped and took me out of bed

Now I’m in this place
It’s so scary and white
But Mommy and Daddy are here
Everything will be alright

Daddy tells me, as quiet as he can
To try my best to breathe
I’m trying to tell him that I can’t
It’s hard enough to see

I feel this pain in my chest
Everything but Mommy and Daddy disappears
Mommy let out a cry of sadness
And Daddy grabbed her hand
Then.. they were gone

Mommy never smoked again
She visits my grave every day
Second hand smoking killed me.
What about you, will you have your say?

One little star
All alone
Twinkling in the sky

One little bird
Searching for home
Even more lost than I

One small drop
And others follow
Pouring out like rain

One small word
Its feeling is hollow
Yet it leaves others
To feel its pain

One puny action
Can heal it all
Unknown by its patients

One puny clue
Creates a pall
That makes you dread a person's absence

More than one large fear
Too many to count
Take us away from here
Where it is possible over problems
One can surmount

[Moony~!]

A flash of light
And a ripple of waves
A reflection disturbed
By the start of flight

Leaving its nest
Leaving its home
Following paths laid before it
Following the roads of this quest

Lifting to the air
Higher and higher the bird reaches
To meet its goal
Of the hardships, it is unaware

Soar across the moon
Fly higher than the sun
See farther than can be seen
Be closer than one should be

The journey is coming to an end
The bird has reached the height of its ability
The wait now is for a fall
That way it may restart it all

Unafraid it now is
While many in this world are not
It came to seek a new beginning
Succeeding just that, to it, is winning

To you the goal may be different
To you this bird may seem pointless
To me this bird is the sign of life
To conquer all obstacles and strife

{{The Conformist}}

Down this path again
My footsteps aren’t the only ones
Indented into this soft mud
As I turn my head back
I see their terrified faces
And their warnings for me to stay away
But why?
When this path seems so fun

Drugs, alcohol, and sex
The three keys to a great life they say
And why should I listen to you?
The ones standing at the beginning of my path
Begging me to come back
But my friends tell me to come here
And I’ll fit in just fine

Ever since my first whiskey
I’ve been hooked
And tricked into doing many things
But I enjoyed it every time
My first girlfriend
Told me that we weren’t going out
I was just a sex partner
And that was alright

I’ve lost my virginity
To a male who I don’t even know
I’ve found myself in a stranger’s bed
Nearly every morning
It’s kind of depressing
Knowing they were right
And I look back again
To see if they’re still there

And so they stand
Still begging
Still calling
Their tears are causing the rain to fall
Washing away my footprints
And so I run back to them
Causing new
But these aren’t conformist’s
These are my own

Back into their arms I run
Safe and sound
Though I've made continuous mistakes
They still love me
Unconditionally
Although I'm
The Conformist.
