| Hi!
I don't know if ther's already a thread about this, but I know you all are very creative and artistic, and I know some of you write poems.
Well, basicly her's where you post your poems (or someone else's) and hope your friends could give you comments about them.
I'll srart then. This is a poem I wrote a while ago and I really wanted to shear it with someone. I had to translate it from hebrew though, so it might not sound as good.
Self Portrait
--------------
You,
look in the miror
you see you didn't shave this morning, you
see the eyes
that refuses to open.
a dream is forgotten
something inside of you tells you
to look at you again.
a coulpe of hopes you once had,
drown with the teeth-brushing water
making it's way in the sewage's maze.
You stop watching.
after all, you
know what your face look like.
you know each wrinkle and each scar
and you can tell the story of
each one and one.
the thoughts are running within you
and you
shake them, wipe them, depart of them.
You are alive.
nothing more. |

| Yeah - wow. Some really great stuff here 
Well, and I've written a bit too. I've actually written quite many poems, but only a few are in English.
So here goes...
You Wake up one morning, it's quarter to noon
And suddenly realize - everything happens too soon
It always has, it always will
You've always known it, but still...
Then you think to yourself: "Why is everything wrong?
I thought I was supposed to be strong.
Supposed to be, yeah, that's just it,
'cause really I haven't, I have to admit.
And so you sit there and think and think and think
And you look through your glasses, which have always been pink,
And you don't understand it, you simply can't
'cause the truth isn't out there, the one you demand...
 So, it's not really a good one, I know, but I'd still like all your critics
P.S. I write better in my mother language, Estonian.

| I wrote this one while i had some spare time sitting in maths, its only a draft... took me like a minute, but as u will find out i had some inspiration sitting next to me... hope u like...its a short one
its so obvious
you sit there, next to me
you watch, and then i watch
but nothing happens...
You look at me
at the smae time i look at you,
i look into your eyes.
You look different, something has changed.
you're no longer the boy i fell in love with,
you are now the man and i still love you the same...

| Something I Have To Say
Smiles, kisses, feeling my heart race when you are next to me
A dark circle swallowing me whole
Is it what you wanted to give me?
If it is, I do not want it any more.
People have emotions way beyond you.
Look out past your house. I will tell you what you see
Look beyond the buildings and houses until you get to 412
Through the trees, above my porch
In the window, you will see
A woman with tears on her pillows holding her heart in her hand
I told you what the others did to me
And you promised and promised you wouldn’t
But if this is what love feels like you can take it back
I am not that kind of girl that believes in fairy tale endings
But
I am the stupid girl that believed that she could make a man like you love her
Don’t ever shed a tear thinking of me…. I will be fine
Without your sympathy
Hold your wife tight at night, and promise to never let go
You broke an innocent heart for hers.
This is what you and me only know
I prayed for your two girls last night
That when they grow up that they never fall in love
With a man like their daddy

| Thuds
She always thought she’d be ready.
She’d anticipated that.
The sleeping kids upstairs never suspected a thing,
Or so she thought.
They lay awake listening to the thud
Of harsh words on solid walls.
Words that could never be taken back,
No matter how much they wanted.
The clout didn’t make her cry,
It was his tough old words.
Words I hear that glaze my eyes.
She was standing near the microwave,
Backed into the corner,
My timid mouse.
She felt the sharp corner of the bench in her back.
Mouse had nowhere to run.
For the first and only time in her life,
She had to confront him.
He only wanted the truth,
That’s what he’ll tell me ten years later.
Later I lay in bed listening,
To other thuds in the house next door.
I almost want to whisper
Through the walls into them,
‘It’s not worth it.’
Her house is silent now.
His house is cold.
Our house is gone.

| To My Late Daughter
In our kitchen,
A vase sits on the table.
Red, blue, yellow, white.
Red, shiny, shiny walls,
Those walls, deep red,
Painfully smooth.
Blue, that whispering grey,
Full of secrets,
Offering no comfort.
Yellow,
Daffodil heart,
The days blunder on.
White, a funeral lily,
Crispness,
Snaps your heart in two.
You,
Smiling,
On a day like this.
Twelve months on,
Your small black box,
Fits snugly in the miserable day.

| I'm gonna try this out
write a little one
you can say what you think
when I'm entirely done
I like this rhyming thing
and I've got nothing to do
I guess I'll write another one
that would be number 2
I just took a shower
now I'm feeling fine
maybe I'll write another one
another silly little rhyme
this is enough nonsense
at least for a day or two
then I'll start writing
about important things too
I'll discuss the meaning of life
and death penalty as well
but for now I keep it simple
'cause I have to go in a while..
(hm.. well en while isn't too good  .. but I couldn't think of something better ) | | 0 @ 26-08-2004 09:45 RoosV | 58 posts
| ouch.. I feel really silly about my poem lol.. everybody has these complicated interesting great poems..  wow I think you can say there are some greatly talented ppl over here.. cool!!
| | 0 @ 26-08-2004 10:02 RoosV | 58 posts
| btw.. I just wrote another one.. it's less silly I think.. but I don't know if it makes any sense to any1 who doesn't know the situation..
yes I know..
please don't tell me
I already know.
I'm not that pretty
I'm not that smart
I'm not that cute
and I try too hard
I'm one big chaos
I'm often absurd
I'm lazy and boring
can I be cured?
once you told me
I helped you believe in yourself
back then I was happy
but now I know better
thank you for taking away my selfesteem.

| Crazy
I think I'm going crazy.
No words can perceive
The happiness which
Seldom resides in
Me
Here I am alone
Lying on my bed
Staring at the ceiling
Heart filled up with dread
What will come tomorrow?
Will hope arise anew
Shall I walk unaided?
Shall I destroy you?
Thinking of death
Makes me happier
Makes my feelings
Melt away
Makes me sit here longer
Keeps my conscience
At bay
I reach for my drawer
And open it,
Unsure
Of what I’m going to do
But the only thing I can think of
Is
You
I slowly give up to temptation
Reach for the knife
And take it out
Ready to take a life
Without a single doubt
I hold the knife within my hands
Caress the sharpened blade
Confess the sin I shall commit
As my conscience fades away
I step out of the shadow
Knife within my pocket
I see my victim in the water
Of the rushing stream
Prepare myself to slaughter
The one who made scream
I take the knife and plunge it
Into my own flesh
Pain gone, worries none
I am whole again | | 0 @ 31-08-2004 04:03 mamma_told_me | 9 posts
| My eyes widen and my jaw drops slightly
As my muscles relax and my mind clears,
Becomes my own once again.
Instantly my anger drains
And my gaze rests on nothing.
There is yet nothing to see.
Eventually it will all happen
And then my mind will spin. | | 0 @ 31-08-2004 04:03 mamma_told_me | 9 posts

It's weird to think we're still staring up at the same night sky.
I hate the way brown eyes fade to gray.
Drowing in a pool of crimson regret of the things that were never said:
I'm always fucking useless without you,
I'm always fucking useless.
So let's just call it a day, and hope we sleep forever
All alone in space and time:
Fighting for what was once ours but now long gone.
I know I'm ugly but you know:
The bags under my eyes don't help
I lay studying the ceiling until I forget your face
And reach the steady crack of my wrists
Or pace up and down my room
Collapse into the oh-so exhausted bed of my heart
Until I am left with a hole
Big enough to be buried in.

| BURNING AWAY PAIN
Water poors down on me burning every inch of my skin. and yet it is not hot enough i want more, i need more it isn't hot enough to burn my pain away, skin turning red burning more every second. pain inside expoldeing killing me slowly i'll drown in my misery, i try to scream for help, but no matter what i try nothin comes out. i reach for some one, but no one is there. so i turn the watter hotter trying to stunn the pain from hurting me anymore, i finally break down crying, the tears seem so cold black make-up runs down with each and every cold tear and yet nothing seem to help, the pain won't leave its here to stay...

| Numb - Aug30/04
it seems senseless / how quickly change comes / how fast we become to close or / too far apart / how one day can seem like forever / a forever that changes everything / a view on the world, on others, and on yourself / how something that continues for years / can be halted in a split second / how one event can change the sky to gray / at least in your eyes / though the world may say it is blue / it seems pointless / to end something after so many years / to make atempts at humour / and fight back the tears / its starting to feel normal / to be like this / to have no emotion where there should be plenty / to not be sad or angry or frustrated / but not wanting to laugh either / to just feel restless and empty and / sick to the stomach / its starting to feel good / to be this numb
please let me know wut u think | | 0 @ 07-09-2004 19:56 The_Crow_Reborn |

| Love
love is a disease that tears up the heart. romance is a pleauge that kills 4m the start. love is made rancid made tattered n torn. those who follow it. I look down at with scorn. an outbreak of pain. an epidemic of lies . so much hatred can fill up are skys.love takes friendships n tears them apart. love is made only 2 cause pain. love... thats whos to blame.......

your no good for me

| There once was a guy called Ignacio
Who was hot for a chick called Rosanna
Said he like a yank "get me a banana,
"I can no longer jerk off with my dick-io"
"Why not?" Said his friend,
"Cos it's starting to bend!
I've been pulling all night while i talk-io!"

| hey all i'm new here, but figured i would put something up here, i've been writing song lyrics for almost 8 years now, though not as frequently as i should be, and had some published in poetry anthologies, but okay here's one of my more recent ones... let me know what you think...
Fairy Tales-
I was skeptical at first
Never thought it would be
Someone like you
Loving someone like me
It was what they write
In fairy tales
Sweet embraces
Engulfing stares
And as unexpectedly as it came
It quickly dissappeared
And the way you left me...
Alone while my eyes teared
And so...
I used to believe in fairy tales
I used to believe in dreams
But it's times like these you see
That make it harder than it seems
I used to believe in Prince Charmings
And happy endings too,
But those things quickly faded
Since I still have not found you
So no more believing
No more hopes and dreams
I'm giving up on trying
It's just so much harder than it seems
Thought I'd finally gotten lucky
Found my very own prince
Then we went out one night
And haven't spoken since
The emotions welling up
Soaring like a balloon
Were shattered and destroyed
Deflated all too soon
I would have been good for you
Like you were good for me
But now we'll never know
Now you'll never see
It's your fault...
I no longer believe in fairy tales
No longer believe in dreams
Because it's times like these you see
that make it harder than it seems
I used to believe in Prince Charmings
And happy endings too
Now those things quickly faded
And I know they're not in you
So no more believing
No more hopes and dreams
I'm giving up on trying
It's just so much harder than it seems
**** thanks all for reading**** |
