Purely Poetry

Hindsight

I'm confused
inthis uknown space
which at
first glance
looked better

Can't keep up
hate being
in the dust
may never learn
may never understand

Don't know how
my visions were shattered
like soapbubbles
landed too soon
no better

Dried up and exhausted
I lay in the ditch
gathering strength
to be beaten down
once again

Hoping it's the last time
you reach for the club
I streach
a shield of words
around me

Knowing now
how that last one stung
I'm driven
beyond caring

Shoved into oblivion
hey, we're all sorry
but it hardly
matters now

Tears are dust
one my face of marble
so white
I walk

Hating that
second chance
that brought
me back
to pain

Hindsight's 20/20
I should have left life then

hey.. juSt thoughT i'd pOst somE of my poetRy.. telL me whAt you thiNk?

Rigid Circle

Forever will my heart cease beating,
beating against my chest.
Silent does it sit

Torn

Rigid circle,
play your loops
Rigid circle scorn
scorn what is forgotten
Scorn what is remembered
scorn what is beguiled

Leave my hands to hold my soul from my lips
Leave them to scream inside my stomach
to retch and turn
Frothing that of which is undecided back into my head
A head of which is empty,
empty of my thoughts
That which is true
That which is grated between the teeth of them
Spat to the clouds, spout to thee

Laugh

Awaiting Death

Within her bed she rests,
Thorne roses crowning her head,
Their morbid resent withering.
Upon her brow,
A touch of death,
Slipping past her crimson lips,
Drawn back, parted, from pallid skin.
From her scalp,
Blood red hair sheds its tears,
Caressing hyacinth strands.
Her eyes,
Silvered emerald,
Stagnant orbs, vehemence truant.
Within her throat,
A single shrill cry,
A sordid detenu.
Her arms crossed upon her chest,
Against a frigid heart.
Her nape rendered incarnadine pools,
Her love awaiting her death song.

Crimson Sadness

Within my cage
Struggle against the bars
Within my mind
Searing pains of agony
Within my heart
Corrupting notions of happiness
All but a delusion
Delusion, in my soul
I drink from the fountain
Bathe in the cool waters
Cleanse my being
Frothing
Dancing
Putrid fallacy
Derive?
Fascist sounds of torture
Brave the seas
Battle the drowning pools of darkness
Flowing from the wounds
Crimson Sadnes

hey and welcome, that's some pretty deep stuff you got there, i like

Here's something i scribbled the other night while falling asleep.

The name on the pencil
The smell of the sheets
The warmth of the light
The taste of the lips
The shade of the eyes
THe bend of the arm
The limp in the fingers
The chips in the nails
The gouges in the skin
The arch of the back
The pain in the air
The hope in the mind
The hunger of your soul
The sweat in my palms
The wall of our shadows
Can never be satisfied.

Illusion

Your words,
Flowering petals, itinerantly windswept.
Caressing my cheek as they glide,
Streaking, brandishing me imprudent.
Your touch,
Warming winds, a flurry of inspirations.
Covering me in a consoling embrace,
Chaining, strapping me down.
Your love,
A rose amongst thorns, burgeoning alone.
Scintillating and pirouetting in my eyes,
Poisoning, leaving me ailing.
You,
My aspect of desire.
My one true love.
My only thought.
Brandishing me imprudent,
Strapping me down,
Leaving me ailing.
Illusion.

Muse

I am adrift within a mist,
The nonchalant embrace clasping my skin.
I reach for you,
Yet all I feel is darkness.
I covet your touch,
Your caress,
Your breath pooled with mine.
I hunger for you to embrace me,
Yet such a vastness prevails between us.
It guffaws at me,
Finds amusement in my yen.
I close my eyes,
Run the bitter blade athwart.
The warmth runs down,
Down into a spiral below me,
Invigorating me,
Yet heaving me down.
I ache for you,
Everything within me is for you.
My Muse.

Untitled?
A rose,
Glistening petals,
Flowering in the pale moonlight,
Dew soothingly caressing with each tender glide,
Growing within the nadir of my heart.
A gentle, loving sigh,
Amidst the dark and dreary.

Flowering in my heart
A warmth of my soul
A saccharine touch of my lips

Pallid fire,
Emerging in the depths of my heart.
Burning with a soft smolder of solidity,
Kindling below my soul,
Mellifluously glowing embers,
A gentle, loving comfort,
Amidst the dank and desolate.

Warm my heart
Touch my soul
Dance within me

A golden fruit,
Lynching from the tree,
Ripe with forgiveness,
Smoothly budding with sweet nectar.
A gentle, loving kiss,
Amidst the drained and damned.

A whisper upon the evening breeze,
The light cast within the shadows,
Gracefully enchanting,
As the sun sets,
The moon rises,
Glinting within the light,
I see your face,
Your form,
Shrouded by the dusk,
You dance within the depths of dreams,
Leap across the stars,
Twirl with the clouds.
Angel soft,
The light kiss of a reverie,
Flitting upon the winds,
Shape interchanging,
Unperceptible of time,
Flitting across my thoughts,
A breath upon the mists,
Caressing my body with each tender movement,
Each flutter of the wings,
Grace of the delusioned,
Imagination of the silent,
My spirit lifts,
Soars upon the sea,
Dives within each wave,
Each tumult of the ocean’s fury,
The light surrounds you,
Ethereal,
Shimmering,
Crisp upon the breeze,
The clouds surrounding,
Swarming like droplets of rain,
Dancing in the fires of disgrace,
Silent watchers,
Sitting in vigil,
Awaiting the return of the fallen,
To mend their broken souls.

I have no poem or song writing skills at all it is so annoying :mad:

lora · Post by **lora** » 5/4/2002, 5:29 pm

I need some help guys. I'm trying to find a poem.
It's by Edgar Allan Poe (I think :oops:

) and it's about a man who kills another man while he is sleeping. He ends up going crazy the next day because of the heartbeat or something? It's been a LONG time since I read it so it's foggy. If you can give me any help, I would be SO happy. I wish I could remember the title.
Damn.

Ahh, the old heart beating under the floorboards...

The Tell-tale Heart

lora · Post by **lora** » 5/4/2002, 5:33 pm

YES! Thank you so much!
I love that poem. I'm going to go find it.

No problem.

You know what's sad...? The only reason that I know that is because of a Simpson's episode! I would have known of the poem, but I may not have remembered the name...

Good ol' Simpsons

I no its not that good.. hehe but im gonna show it anywayz hehe- ( so when ya read it and it sucks.. dont be supprised!..hey.. im a young person! how much can ya expect? lol)

Lightened
He wakes up to dress and then he goes
Where to though, no one knows
He does not know life as a drift and fall;
Something that seems to have no meaning at all.
He does not understand the human mind.
And why some may be so un-kind.
Why do we fear and why do we hate
Are the questions he asks beyond our own fate
A life of guilt and a life of fear
Is different than the one that he sees clear.
For here he stands
As a one minded man. Free from the hand that holds us all down.
The old soul inside him is feeding his mind from memories left
From far behind.
Sometimes he ponders about how we all think
How could we follow these stupid lies. And not know
The truth here under our bold disguise.
Why shall we fight and who really does pray?
For it all comes down to one simple day.

Thanx fer readin!
