I return yet again with more poems waiting to be typed up:
Desperation
Heart pumping wildly, out of control,
Thunder crashing all around, piercing the soul.
Feet thumping and stumbling, out of the flow,
Death all around me, nowhere to go.
The demons in human form begin to close in,
Their weapons are raised, about to begin.
The memories of my lost friends fresh in my mind,
They're blocking my way, an exit is what I must find.
A thump, a step back,
It seems that hope is what I lack.
Bit by bit the darkness claims my heart,
It seems that from this world I'm about to part.
A sad smile lingers on my face...
They come closer.
Is this truly my fate!?
All hope falls further away.
I have but one last resort...
My blade is held higher.
A slash, a dash, a trickle of blood,
I sign of all I ever "was" and "could".
A hand on my heart,
A light in the dark:
The sweet embrace of the Other World.
-
Very nice poem Flames, you have a knack for writing them, as I said in chat I love the warrior like subject matter
-
Thanks Tezz, I thought you might like it.
Adrenaline Rush
On the edge, heart pounding hard.
Nobody understands...
Breathing heavily, preparing myself.
A cool breeze on my forehead...
Danger, excitement, all things chaotic.
This is my life...
Limbs trembling, vision blurring,
I slowly take a step back...
A clap of thunder, a rush of wind!
One great leap is all it takes...
The rush, the energy,
It blasts throughout my blood.
My body does not fall, it hurtles!
Hurtles through cloud after cloud...
A smile brightens my face,
I am free.

An Eternal Bond
Every step we take,
All the moves we make:
We do so side by side,
Even if we push against the tide.
No matter how tough things get,
I'll never have reason to fret:
Together we'll make it through!
An Eternal Bond,
Between me and you.
No matter what happens we'll make it through,
Between us there are no lies,
None of my secrets can hide from your eyes...
We share a bond of friendship strong,
I know I can overcome anything, no matter how long!
Every problem, I've ever had,
Every solution, I'm so glad!
Every time I see you, I smile,
We can survive, mile after mile!
This bond we share, this debt I owe,
This friendship that shall never go...
My friend
-
A very nice poem indeed brother. Keep it up. ^.~

Questions...
Tick, tock, Time goes by.
I find myself asking "Why?"
A million questions on my mind,
So many answers I'll never find.
Why, who, what, where and when?
Are often seen words scribbled down by my pen.
Tick, tock, running out of time.
A million paths to take, each without a sign.
Confusion, emotions, so much pain,
All that I've lost and still have to gain.
Shock etched into my face,
Everything halts to a standstill pace.
Why?
-
idk flames, nice job tho. i have times like that too where it's quiet and peaceful and i'll ask ?'s and it seems no one can answer them. or i could have totaly missed what ure poem was about, if so sorry

Heart split in two
The human heart is a fragile thing,
From the lowest of the low, right up to a king:
More fragile and perfect than anything else in life,
But what happens when it is pierced with strife?
My heart lies in two pieces,
This is a fault of mine.
Suffocation, dark feelings,
Emotions haunting me for all time!
I split my heart into two pieces,
You can blame this on me.
My actions and attitude,
Why didn't I see!?
A shattered soul lies upon the ground,
Surrounded by a confused crowd.
An empty husk roams this world,
An eternity of agony unfurled.
-
More nice poems, I wish I had your inspiration
-
Very,... Emotional. :sniffle: I thought i was going to burst into tears, and now I don't want to go anywhere.. Nice job.

Lonely Road
Step by step I walk,
Never in the mood to talk.
Alone, I stay on this road full of fear,
Mile after mile, year after year.
A flame, a groan, a roar of pain,
And those once close to me stare in disdain...
I cry to the heavens as I die inside,
Holding a pain my heart can never bide!
These tears, they flow like the tide,
Yet they remain trapped within my insides...
"Why!?" I roar to the skies above,
As I loose grip of all love...
"Why must I ruin everything I care about?"
"Why must I scream and shout?"
"How many lifetimes will it take:"
"For me to reach my fate!?"
Stumbling down this lonely road,
Every sign of death showed.
Liquour, drugs, magic charms,
Nothing the doctors gave me kept me calm.
How? How could I be tranquil?
It's hard enough just to be thankful.
I've lost my love, lost my friends,
This nightmare, it shall never end!
One mistake becomes two,
I never knew what to do.
Yeah, I stepped outta my place,
Yeah, I have these mistakes I'm afraid to face.
Nay, things weren't meant to be this way,
Nay, everything was supposed to be okay...
Pitter patter, it begins to rain.
A crash of thunder, so much pain.
The water rises to my knees,
All I can do is cry and bleed.
Water as dark as the void called my heart,
This foul shadow hides in every part.
It's up to my neck now and I can barely breathe,
These heavy emotions, why won't they leave!?
I breathe my last breath,
Waiting for death,
Engulfed by my own emotion,
Tainted with blood and guilt like the foulest potion...
My husk lies here forever on this lonely road.
-
:sniffle: Awwh...
What can I say, dear brother? It's very beautiful, but I don't like the loneliness it's showing. How to put it?... Meh. Can't place my finger on it right now, but you'll know sooner or later.
-
Awe, flames.....

:D Here's one for the New Year!
The years rush by
Time's slipping away so fast,
No time for remembering the past.
These good times, they never last,
Our fate is sealed, our fortunes cast.
One, two and then a three,
All that we are and ever will be.
Four, five and then a six,
I swear Time leaves us just for kicks...!
Seven, eight, now we've reached nine,
Happy New Year; go out and shine!

^_^ Very cute. ~~

My life, my pain
This is the story of my life,
An existence the Reaper should have took with his scythe...
Have you ever felt a love so great it hurts you?
Have you ever felt so helpless, unsure what to do?
I'm tellin' ya my story, all that I can tell,
Of how everything became a frozen hell.
You better listen up, I'm only gonna say this once ya hear?
Open your heart, open your ears and come near:
When I'm gone, don't feel sad,
I gave up myself to make you glad.
I'm looking down at all you guys,
So just smile and wave back, don't cry.
Just be glad everytime you hear this song,
I'm singing it to you from where I belong.
I loved you more with every passing day,
That still hasn't changed, are you okay?
I worry about you every time I try and sleep,
I threw myself in way too deep...
And I ask you this,
As I wait for Death's cold kiss:
Have you ever loved someone so much it tore you inside?
Made you crazy no matter how much you tried?
You would destroy all tryin' to harm them in a flash,
But what happens when you're their source of pain, and towards you they lash?
When I'm gone, don't feel sad,
I gave up myself to make you glad,
I'm looking down at all you guys,
So just smile and wave back, don't cry.
Just be glad everytime you hear this song,
I'm singing it to you from where I belong.
This ain't ordinary love, that much I know,
A close bond between friends that may never go.
But that love isn't why I'm singing,
It's my love for one who I am missing.
My ceiling must be talking, because I swear I can hear her!
All I hear is "You got one chance to put this right with her."
"Now go out there and do your thing!"
Next thing I know I find myself starting to sing:
When I'm gone, don't feel no pain,
I went away so happiness you could gain.
I'm looking down at you from above,
So just smile and wave back, my love.
Just be glad everytime you hear this song,
I'm singing it to you from where I belong.
5 years have passed, and nothing's changed:
I'm still alone, jobless and in pain.
I'm looking for you every day and night,
Yet I never succeed even as I try with all my might...
It's raining now, it always has been,
Without you the sunshine will never be seen.
I think about you every waking moment,
You're even there in my dreams, filling me with torment!
I'm starting to write to you, did you get my last letter?
I don't where you are, but I hope for the better,
I don't care if I remain unloved,
I don't care if you give me a cold shove.
I just wanna see you again, that's all I ask,
Surely that's not too much of a hard task?
I'm in the city centre, standing raised above,
People suddenly stop and stare as I declare my love:
When I'm gone don't feel no pain,
I gave myself up so you can gain.
I'm looking down at you from above,
So just smile and wave back, my love.
Just be glad everytime you hear this song,
I'm singing it to you from where I belong.
I've lost count of how many years have passed,
All of the good things in my life never last.
I died a long time ago but my heart refuses to let me die,
It still hopes that someday we can look eye to eye.
Unable to live without you, my goddess,
Unable to die until I've cleaned up my mess.
Death's gettin' impatient, he can't wait,
So just spit at me already and seal my fate!
Yeah, why don't you just crush my life again?
That's what you wanted, yeah, back then...
Don't tell me you didn't have this planned out from the start,
You always made a plaything out of what I call my heart!
The planet's dying now piece by piece, they say.
I wanna say that I was sorry for thinking that way:
Yeah, I made my mistakes and blamed you, my love.
Yeah, I sunk to the lowest drugs instead of rise above.
I miss you more as the Earth below crumbles,
All this time I've been falling, it seems I fumbled.
I'm going to sleep here as the world is laid to rest,
If you wanna see me, try and hope for the best.
I'll be waitin' at our old spot, remember it well,
Because you'll be hearin' me singin', loud as a bell:
When I'm gone don't share my shame,
I wasted my life and I'm all to blame.
I'm waiting for you, my free dove,
So just smile and wave back, my eternal love.
Just rejoice as you hear this song,
Soon we'll be together where we belong...
(Finally finished!...I think...)

Pretty nice poem flames, very heartfelt
-
And now for one that doesn't rhyme! *Le gasp* (Be sure to check every so often as I add to a few poems)
Void of Memories, Sea of Tears
Falling, endlessly falling,
In this bitter sea.
Crying, always crying,
What has happened to me?
I can't remember how this began,
This drowning wasn't part of the plan.
Void of Memories...
Sea of Tears...
How much have I suffered after all these years?
How long have I been drowning in my fears?
I can't remember...anything at all.
This darkness engulfes my mind,
I'm trapped for all of time:
In this numb, eternal void...
I have cried...until I could cry no more.
This anguish just seeps out of me,
I'll bleed alone until I die:
Consumed by feral emotions...
Falling, just helplessly falling,
Swallowed whole by this sea.
Crying, with blood instead of tears,
If only I could flee...
I can't remember how this began,
This drowning wasn't part of the plan.
Void of Memories...
Sea of Tears...
How much have I suffered all these years?
How long have I been drowning in my fears?
-
wow... that song makes me want to start cutting again.... That was really sad. And your newest one just makes the feeling worse. o.0
-
The song is finally finished! (I think...)
I'm touched, saddened and slightly disturbed by how my poetry makes you feel Samantha.
-
Well, since you know me, and the story now, you can consider it a reminder of what can happen. I'll assume.

Overdrive
Three: blood rushing through my veins,
Two: Ready to reach out and attain,
One: A new level beyond our flow...
Iku ze iku ze iku ze, GO!
Can you go go go?
Even if you're against their flow:
Push on and hype yourself past the pain,
Kick things into Overdrive, it's time to gain!
Drei, zwei, eins DIVE,
Take things into Overdrive!
Trois, deux, un RUSH,
Even if they stare and make you blush!
Can you go go go?
Even if you're against their flow:
Push on and hype yourself past the pain,
Kick things into Overdrive, it's time to gain!
Iya-sa iya-sa, HERE WE GO,
Niya-ka niya-ka time to show!
Can you endure this heat?
Dash along to this beat!
Three: The thrill of the pace,
Two: Exhiliration etched into my face,
One: This is how we thrive...
Everyone, shout OVERDRIVE!
(...I have no idea what made me write this crazy poem/song. I can think of many things it could be about, but I'll leave it up to your imagination ^w^)
-
really nice. ~grins and glomps~
-
Wow... *feels an urge to want to make the music to go with it* Needs more be said?

"Them" Versus "Us"
It's a long path on which we stroll,
Our daily routine takes its toll.
Time just flies on by...
As uniqueness starts to die...!
(Here we go, here we go,
Rebels against the flow!)
All "they" ever do is lie,
All we want is to be free and fly,
They are the ones who let originality die,
We are the ones always aiming high!
(It's "them" against "us",
Stir up a fuss!)
Who are they!?
They are the system in which we're trapped...
They are the ones beyond political kidnaps!
Who are we!?
We are the rebels, without a cause...
We are the ones, rewriting the laws!
("Them" versus "Us" is how this goes,
A fight between the higher-ups and the low)
They build and they conquer like masterminds,
But if we strike together, they'll be in a bind:
It's time to rise up and attack...
...We're taking our lives back!
-
~sways in a trance and taps foot in rhythm~ nice beat, strong structure, I like.
-
As always, I really appreciate the comments. Void of Memories, Sea of Tears is now finished.
-
Very emotional, once again. It's great as always.

Everyone run for your lives! The apocalypse must be here because the following poem is actually somewhat positive! :shcoked:
Two steps at a time
On this rocky road called life,
There are mountains to climb full of strife.
Rise or fall,
You could lose it all.
Trip and stumble, face down on the ground,
A better way you have not found...
Pick yourself up and stand tall,
No matter how often or hard you fall.
Keep your head up and climb:
Two steps at a time.
No hesitation, no regret,
Remember my words, don't forget!
The mountain trail is harsh and cold,
There's no time to hesitate, just be bold.
Live life on the edge, forever running,
Just look at how much better you're becoming!
Don't look back at the ground below,
Just keep pushing forward and go.
Pick yourself up and stand tall,
Grit your teeth and endure each fall.
Go a little higher and climb:
Two steps at a time!
No hesitation, no regret,
Remember my words don't forget...
-
lol Yeah, here comes the apocalypse.
-
Very good poem my friend, its nice to see a bit of hope from time to time in poetry. I'm glad you were happy enough to write it.. or sick in the head whatever applies :)
-
That's not suggestive at all, Tezz..
-
That's not suggestive at all, Tezz..
Flames knows I'm joking :P Besides he'd have to be sick in the head... he talks to me after all hehe. Its a good poem regardless of what fuels it
-
lol. Alright. You pass [for now]
-
...New song...(I was quietly singing it as I wrote it)
Farewell Again...
Standing here, in the frosty breeze.
Trembling, nowhere near at ease.
The time has come, once again:
Suffering by my hands, so much pain...!
I'm so ashamed, at what I've become:
I could kill myself for being so dumb!
I never wanted to say goodbye,
Now that the time has come I can only cry...
This agony, I deserve it so.
I am saddened, to watch you go.
My mistakes, my eternal regret.
I can only ask that you don't forget:
"Remember me, for who I used to be.
Wipe away the monster that is me...
Live your life and don't look back,
Not even we both, start to crack.
We must go say goodbye and go our seperate ways,
No matter how much this darkens our days...!"
From the bottom, of my heart and soul, so true,
I hate myself for what I've, done to you.
These wounds I blindly made, they may never heal,
This despair-sorrow-guilt-and-self-hatred I feel:
They'll be with me for the rest of Time,
No matter what I do, or what obstacles I climb...
Fare thee well, fare thee well:
I'll be looking up at you from Hell...
Goodbyes were never my forte,
I'll take my leave now, if I may...
(Farewell again, my dearest friend in this world so big:
I'll pay for my crimes, in this grave that I dig...)
-
I wonder who that was meant for. Lovely regardless, and quite sad.
-
^ It's for one person in particular but could easily apply (sort of) to quite a few people.
Through the FireWind
When the darkness has claimed the land,
When freedom has been banned...
As the moon rises, out of the twilight,
He shall rush through the dead of the night!
Scorching sun, relentless rain,
He shall come despite the pain.
Wayward winds and bad blizzards strong:
Just sit and wait, he won't be long...
Light gleaming in his eyes,
He'll see past any lies.
Crushing the enemy for a noble cause,
Freedom will yet again be your's!
An unstopable warrior who knows no rest,
A relentless fire who can burn the best!
It's just another day for him, his job has just begun:
Through the FireWind he came, he fought, he won...!

I wrote this song quite a while ago now, but never had the chance to put it up...
Untitled
♪This eternal regret♪
♪I'll never forget♪
♪How I screwed up so badly♪
♪The pain I created, sadly♪
♪And the worst part of it is yet to come♪
♪I hurt someone I cared for, what have I done?♪
♪It's been several weeks but the pain is still there♪
♪My actions are unforgivable, my heart I'll tear...♪
♪I'll tear it up, I'll count to ten♪
♪It's only gonna be, shattered again♪
♪I'll sing this song in my blindness♪
♪I don't care who hears it or learns of my mess♪
♪I'll just say it so softly okay?♪
♪I'll hide this agony, for yet another day...!♪
♪Raw emotions inside of me♪
♪There is nowhere to flee!♪
♪Watch me make a drama outta nothing♪
♪As I randomly, sing♪
♪I'll be locked up without a fight♪
♪...for I am alone once more...tonight♪

An unusual wish...
A lot has happened, I'm sad to say,
And because of it I'm in pain today.
A bit of frustration, I was suddenly enraged,
Blind and ignorant, in my own selfishness I was caged.
I stirred up a storm, made things worse than they were,
And I ended up, upseting her.
I made a fatal mistake, one that's ruinin' my life,
I wish I could go back and undo this strife.
Hating myself and with good reason,
I'll isolate myself after comitting that treason.
Maybe I should move on and forget,
But I can't, I'm too full of regret,
Some say I should see her my foe,
Others say to ignore my memories and let go.
But I must be crazy 'cus I just can't do it!
I've got but one wish, that I'd like to submit;
Call it stupid or tell me I'm lying,
But this is what I wish for whenever I'm crying...!
"Just give her the life, she truly deserves,
Keep her smilin' and protected from the pervs.
Just let her be happy in all that she does,
I don't care what happens to me, as long as she is loved..."
My wish, my pains,
A person you'll never hear from again.
Yeah, just forget I ever existed,
Before I upset someone else and feel so twisted...
If someone is listening, please grant my wish;
Before I recieve, Death's morbid kiss...
-
awe, poor flames....

And now for something different:
Run Run, Little Warrior
Hey, look out down below,
This lil' guy is on the go.
On the horizon his eyes are set:
Can't stop, running yet!
Run Run, Little Warrior,
You can save the day!
Just keep on racing far ahead,
Don't look back or turn your head:
Dash forward to the scene,
Fight on and believe!
Through town after town,
Not once slowing down.
Mind set on his goal, so true:
This young fighter will save, me and you!
Run Run, Little Warrior,
Try and take a chance!
Dash and slash to the end,
Your special people, you will defend:
Just go on to their aid,
Fight on and believe!
(I say fight on and believe!
Go Go and Leave,
Run Run and meet,
With those energetic feet:
Travel the wide world to aid them if you must,
But promise me that you'll always keep our...trust)
-
Very nice one bro. I like it. ^.=.^

Uncertain Unrest
Lying down in the eternal night,
Forever without a welcome light:
Tossing and turning hour after hour,
Then motionless as I lose all power.
Suddenly consumed by my fears,
Unable to even shed my tears:
An endless storm of uncertainty,
A million worries consuming me!
(Oooh!)
Are you all gonna be okay?
Can you last but another day?
Too many questions, too little time,
Unable to go back and undo my crime.
Forever afraid, always unsure,
I have yet to find my cure:
Struggling against inner demons, strong,
Is this torturous void where I belong?
A shell made hollow by, sudden fears,
A husk formed over all these years:
Endless barrages of illogical worries,
There's not long left, I must hurry!
(Oooh!)
Are you all gonna be okay?
Can you last but another day?
Too many questions, too little time,
Unable to go back and undo my crime.
These shadows are al, I have ever known,
I should have seen that I'd always be alone:
Slowly rotting piece by piece, sadly,
If there was a way to end it, I'd do so gladly!
A rush of tears like the tide,
A sorrow I cannot ever bide:
This lifetime of fear and regret,
A milion and more things I'll never forget!
(Oooh!)
Are you all gonna be okay?
Can you last but another day?
Too many questions, too little time,
Unable to go back and undo my crime.
(Oooh!)
You shouldn't worry if I'm okay,
Just try and last to the next day.
Too many shames of mine for all of time,
Forever unable to undo...my crime.
<Complete!>

excellent poems, Flames.
I have to say the "My life, my pain" one is my favorite. :)
you're definitely way better than me.
-
even better than me.

excellent poems, Flames.
I have to say the "My life, my pain" one is my favorite. :)
you're definitely way better than me.
Why thank you, I appreciate the compliment. "My life, my pain" is probably the one poem/song I put the most work and effort into and I'd like to think it shows. :'(
even better than me.
Nah...Well maybe...But I doubt it.
Even better than me too...oh wait XD
In any case, "Uncertain Unrest" is finished now and I might just have a new poem soon...
-
oh! I like the sound of that!
-
Eh, I'm updating later than I would like but it's been hard for me to write anything at all lately. I shall get back to updating FireWind Chronicles and The Chronicles That Time Forgot (and Oneshot Collection too) eventually, just don't hold your breath.
Facing the Voices
It feels like an eternity since it began,
A lifetime in which I only turned away and ran.
Trapped in a cage yet still I try to flee,
Blinded, in confusion, unable to see!
I keep hearin' these voices, they're callin' my name:
I can't help but wonder if my life ain't some twisted game,
They keep callin' softly whilst others cry out in pain,
They are the ones I try to ignore in vain.
A confusion so great,
This agony caled fate:
Forever warping my dying mind...
As all hope leaves me behind!
I can't think anymore, I don't know what I'm here for;
I'm simply afraid, my body a husk on the floor...
I can't flee nor can I live this way,
It's been too long since I was even close to okay.
I'm losing my mind, or maybe it's already lost to the darkness...
Only thing I know is that I'm in a pitiful mess!
These voices I hear 'em everytime I sleep,
They're always taunting me whenever I weep,
I can't recognise them yet they still call for me,
I'm locked in my own emotions, without a key!
<More to come?>

Conflict then Silence
Another day, more drama unfolds,
The likes of which legend had not foretold.
Each moment that passes,
(from ashes to ashes)
I must do what I must.
(from dust to dust)
Sorrow, pity, anger, resentment,
Depression and bewilderment.
Arguements and tension, stress all the while:
Piece by piece the conflicts will pile.
I can never win, it's just another day...
Of trying but failing to make things okay.
A thousand mistakes,
Several acts of fate:
And it only ends worse than it begun...
What have we done?
One by one we can only fall,
It seems it's not the time to stand tall...
The smoke has cleared, there's only silence now,
I stare sadly and can only ask myself how?
How did it come to this, it ended so badly...
If I could fix this I'd do so gladly,
But the silence is there,
It hurts so much to care:
This silence more painful than any wound,
It seem sthat we are...doomed.
