The reason I ask, is that I've seen a fair few people on Nightmist who write poetry, but it's never made much of. So, here's a thread to post your poetry and (hopefully) get positive feedback on your work..

I guess I've got to get the ball rolling then? Here's my favorate one I've ever written...

My Guardian Angel

Suicide,
My Guardian Angel.
Hold this rope as I fall,
Secure the knot and please
Don't let me go.

I'll hold this rose
Until we meet so close.
My protection from the dark,
My block for the light.
Grasp my life and squeeze.

I can't forget you're by my side..
My beautiful escape.
My peaceful enclosure.
Fall from pain.

I love you.
My sweet.
My suicide.


Meant to have some spacing, but I don't know how to get it to work, makes little difference.

So, what does everyone else have?

Y Hi Koo?

I hate you Haiku.
Why are you so hard to do?
Just leave me alone.

Edit: This was written by my friend in english class. Mr. Johnson gets full credit for this work of art. XD

Love Long Lost

Love long lost, never to love again, forever to be alone in this endless life of mine. Love found and lost every so often but so far a part from the last time, spaces getting greater inbetween. Endless life getting lonelier every passing day, long cold nights alone, no one to cuddle with to keep warm. Long lost I am to the world nothing but a lonely little anti-social, holding onto life only by a thread. Am I truly to never love again? Or is it just a lie made by the voices from within? To keep me from only form of happiness. Love long lost, never to be found again, forever to live in the darkness of it all.

Just something I was recently forced to write.

[Squee]

Wow...both those poems are so much more thought-provoking then the one I posted. XD

Great work, both of you!! ^__^

[alone]

That poems great Squee

And Mastah_Fluff, I liked the way thatw as written, something about it. But it was cool

[Hatchet Crew]

i just recently started writting poetry so i dont have much... but... here is one i got

*Save Me*

*Save me if you please
*Or leave me to die
*To die from this disease
*The disease the world has given to me

*Sumtime i'm happy
*Sumtimes i'm not
*Happy for all that i've got
*And unhappy for all that i'm not

*So save me please
*Before it gets to me
*I don't wanna be
*Whats becoming of me

[Stotic]

It may not be a poem, but I do a lot of writing. You can call it lyrics, but until they're in a song they are just words of expression to me.

Living as we rot. Showered with shadows of dreams devoured. Our souls descend into endless seas of sin. There's no turning back. No repenting, no remorse. Hate stricken creation. I realize in this world. There is not one truth cast into stone. Only lies cast into flames. It's time to burn. Burn alive. Burn at the stake. Our eyes crystal clear, our bodies frozen with fear, and there's nothing to save us now.

[Harky]

you all need puppies :D

(I can't read mastah_fluff's poem to see the theme because I'm using the white skin, and his font's white, which makes my eyes bleed, but he needs a puppy too)

[Zylia]

A nice little site to Archive your poetry/stories/whathaveyou is http://www.openfiction.com/

My collection happens to be here:
http://www.openficti...c275aaabcc7d76a

Most of it was written in what I like to call my "Pre-Nightmist Era"... which is now hitting 2 years ago.

[VampressMisty]

Fevered panting tormented ranting
And I surrender to your hot caress again
Dreamming enflamed whip
Caressing taut rope laced flesh
Each new touch bringing me a new song of pain
A distraction of intensity
To add to our lovers game
Wet hot fire blooms within the regions of my soul
Please I beg soft heartedly
As your tied teasing takes its toll

Care Not

Care not, love not. Go on with your life, continue to pass out and rock out. Care not, love not, continue to white out and black out with your killer vibes. Care not, love not, continue to flip out and rip out. Care not, love not, continue to beat out the nidjits and fidjits with your moves of incredible shine. Care and love as you live on and rock on.

Not so good, I worte it last night while listening to a Gorillaz song, I didn't know where to go with it and I put it in lime since my beige isn't so great for some people now.

Anyways most of my work is here now except for a few that I haven't put up there yet.

Besides posting on the last topic on this forum out of boredom, I recently wrote this great poem!

Disorder

Lost in a wasteland of solitude
Yet so many people around
They know and understand nothing
Soon to be under the ground

With lonliness comes despair
I feel this emotion so much
felling it around others
killing people in my clutch

With despair comes anger
killing people in my wake
ravaging and destroying the lands
let it stop for the worlds sake

Finally the anger has stopped
but insanity has come
madness and havoc reek my mind
it is killing everyone

All credit goes to me, my first real poem.

[Consumed]

i like the lot but alone's stuck out to me... like it

[Consumed]

The day that I found myself in this universe
I began to immerse
Im my mothers tears of joy
That came because of me her baby boy

When I first embarked upon this journey
I soon realized what was ultimate
That was power and money
Which made me irate
There are people that are great
That don’t get a chance the deserve
When people who don’t get a special curve

As I grow more mature
My life becomes harder to endure
More issues to deal with than I had seen before,
But I continued to explore
The world became more intense,
And the surroundings became more hardcore
Life is a test in a sense
A test that im going to take
And pass to make it through the heavenly gate

And as I await my fate
My mind is in a constantly in debate
The thoughts my head creates deviation
In a way that brings both love and hate
That form my minds foundation

When I take my final breath
I want you to think of it as a new start
Rather than my demise
Death isn’t meant to tear people apart
It is meant to create a new start
A better start


edit:wrote that in like an hour...while i was talkin on msn and it was my first poem so it could probly be alot better :/

Okay. So I know that this is supposed to be used to post poetry. And I've written my fair share of it, but it's pretty bad. I write short fiction, and I like to think that it's not terrible. A lot of it is pretty short, actually.

I figured I might as well ask if I could post a bit of it here. o_O

And if I can't, thats cool, and I understand. o_o

"Tears"

On the burning edge
of the crimson sky
Where flowers of evil
throw their shadows on the wings of angels
My soul lingers lost
in the darkness of my thoughts.

I would cry forever
but i ran out of tears
The sad thoughts remain
The tears that washed away my hope
make me drown in sorrow
because you will not be there tomorrow.

I rest my head
alone to sleep
I wish you could kiss me goodnight
Now I linger for eternal dreaming
but with my tears
i lost my dreams
and the hope for a better day.

"Forever More"

Kiss me,
banish the poison from my brain,
hold me,
bring the warmth to my heart again.
Touch me,
Reveal to me the light,
Love me,
Guide me to the sun so bright.
Embrace me,
Keep the darkness away,
Kill me,
Bring us together in heaven today.

"Memories"

Within my heart i keep my memories,
Memories of this perfect love,
This perfect love you gave to me,
eventho you knew i didn't want to be.

Within my soul i keep these memories,
Memories of that sad night,
That sad night god took you away from me,
eventho he knew i was the one that did not want to be.


"How I Feel"

Without you my lonely heart keeps bleeding.
It makes me pray for my meeting with the reaper.
He will take my soul away.
I don't want this life anyway

Every night i think about you.
I blame myself again and again.
My love is lost forever and i can't stand the pain.

In restless nights I weep.
Hoping for a new love some time.
I pray for someone who's love will be mine.

I miss you more then words can say.
Yet i can not dream of you at all.
maybe it's my past that caused my fall.

I don't understand this life i have been given.
Maybe God just wants to play with me.
But since i lost you, i lost my reason to be.

[jurian]

my personal fav

"You"


The look in your eyes
Changes the colour of my day
I can't believe it
From black when your angry
untill the brightest blue when you smile

The sun surrounds you with love
and the moon will never leave you alone
One word from your lips
Does miracles every time
it's unpredictable
sometimes you sound like thunder
and sometimes as a sunny season

No matter how hard it freezes
you'll never be frozen
As long as you're with me
I'll never be bored.

Because you,you are the sun and the moon for me,
you have the best of both
Mysterious and warm at the same time
and you do everything for me
you are free
free to leave but i hope you will stay with me.

you're low and high tide
you're so irresistable
you tell me what you think
a woman and a child
you're the wind and the silence
and you,
i hope you belong to me

And you, open the world for me
you are the sun and the rain on my skin
you are in everything for me
you make me happy
you hold me
make me free
you ares allways around
you make me a part of your bigger world
you are the better half of me
you...

Uh... this is a prologue to something larger. But this part of it can actually stand alone. So... Uh... o_o

Anatomy of a Ghost: Introduction

A small flashlight falls to the ground with a loud cracking sound, the sound of plastic breaking against freezing porcelain, followed by an absolute silence, save for the faint rhythmic creaking as his feet sway limply back and forth in a perfect arc.

The creaking of the wood support beam slows, and eventually comes to a stop as his feet stop moving.

It’s been half an hour, and I’m still staring up at his lifeless face, into those cold, empty eyes.

Behind me, the furnace starts up again, his body swaying slightly again, with that same faint creaking sound, barely audible over the hot air running through the open ventilation ducts.

The florescent lights above his head flicker back to life, shining through his thick blonde hair, giving his lifeless face the false appearance of a smile.

This white noise, the hum of the florescent lights, of hot air rushing through ventilation shafts, of rain pounding against the small, broken windows of the apartment, is the sound of a breaking heart.

~~

I dunno. If you liked it, or didn't think it was too terrible, you can find the rest of my writings here.

i wrote this in the train, it's far from my best

"Not easy"

I was born in a world of hate,
I'm living a life of pain,
I'm feeling nothing but shame.

My heart is empty and alone,
The feelings are gone,
This heart isn't all that strong.

I'm all alone in this world,
I have nobody to love, nobody to hold,
This life of mine is just without gold.

I'm a prisoner of my body,
My chains are made of pain,
I'll never be able to play lifes game.

There is no reason for me,
There is no reason to be,
It's not easy to be me.

Yheah, this is a thread I'm talkin' about, nice stuff ^^

I've recently started a poetry site for people to come together and share their works, arts, ect . . . similiar to all poetry and TPS (of coarse, much smaller community).

---- > Birth of Tragedy < ----

All my works are obviously posted there, but I'll put one here.

Inflicted Beauty

Castaway the beauty of these wetlands,
For inflicted truth will grieve sorrow.
Today’s amazement of the land,
Will be swept away with tomorrow.

Breathtaking sights that slowly fade,
Sinking with lost intent that once made,
A shallow heart consumed by greed,
Fall restless when anxiety feeds.

Isolated wonder breeds despair,
Impatience derived from fury,
Shocking cries are not found rare,
Enraged escape never to worry.

Wretched miracle around the corner,
Raving shrieks as if a mourner,
Uplifting hope will not be the catch
In the presence of ‘Old Scratch’.

A shocking tale without much error,
Will leave you with more than terror.
To learn to cherish your frantic health,
And not be lured to greed and wealth.

There's never a Happy Fuzzy Bunny's Poetry Club.

Good luck to you, however ;p

The orange glow soothes my soul, the falling of the snow makes everything seem alright. The orange glow brings me back to where I used to be and how things used to be, but it makes me feel like all is well within this world of mine. This orange glow entrances me and makes world around me seem good again. The orange glow and snow flowing makes everything seem so calm and peaceful once more. This orange glow that engulfs the city makes life seem good again, the snow blanketing the city makes everything seem safe and sound once again. This orange glow and snow flow soothes my body and soul.

I wrote this after going out drinking with some Juggalettes at a all ages bar, that was a mooseing awesome night..lol...teh orange glow rocks!

[Devotchka]

I cast a spell in silence
To those who's loss I mourned
And hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned..

These souls that bask in shades of light
Will soon learn revenge pays
As a cloud rises above them
Showering them with darker days...

So many are unaware
They do not understand
The power behind the magic
Until they touch the devil's hand...

The wind will scream their names
As I watch the full moon rise
Witnessing pain in dreams
Rejoicing in their demise...

I send a special blessing
From the bottom of my blackened heart
To all that dared to cross me
I'll tear their souls apart...

For those of you who know
I'm sure you will agree
That what you do to others
Comes back to you times three...

[jurian]

i wrote this today after a loooooong conversation with someone.

"give me your fear"

You say that your free
But your eyes say that your lonely
You say that your happy
But i'm not dreaming

Because the tone in your voice sais everything to me
And i feel exactly like you
So you can be honest
You still say that your great
But your voice starts to tremble

I know i can help you, you just have to ask me
We can help eachother
that's all that i ask from you

Put aside your fear
I knew it before,
Today is our day

Give me your fear
I'll give it back tomorrow
As long as i won't loose you
I will surely find my way with you

Look at me now, no don't say a word
it's ok to be silent
It's not easy now, but i know
that i can help you
It doesn't have to happen again
If you just stay with me for now
And i will show you,
the beauty of my smile

Give me the feeling
That i am not alone anymore
I will go with you
Because i will never let you go.

Give me your fear now
and i'll return hope to you
give me the night
and i will give you the sunrise
as long as you don't leave me
i will find my way with you.


edit: when i gave it to her it made her cry.

The April Epidemic

Sorrow strikes
like an April epidemic
"in like a lion, out like a lamb",

And when April showers
bring May flowers,
who will watch them blom?

And as the callas rot away,
how will I pay the Ferryman?

there are other things to write about than your own grief. also, allusion and free interpretation are far better tools for depth rather than simple similes.

just thought i'd let you kids know.

People should be able to write about whatever they feel.

Who are you to criticize the content of a persons heart, or the way the express it?
