letter to the sky:

i get sad every time i need you
i get mad every time i don't
i get angry for not have been able to tell you
but now i won't
but i just know i love you
no matter what you've donne
or what you haven't donne
i want you beside me
but i know it's helpless
to you my pretty beauty
that sleeps in heaven
for all eternity i'll live thinking of you
that god may help me to go and see you
that time seems so far way
but time passes by and soon it will be the day
till then farewell and wait for me
because i love you and as you i'll be
just another bird free.

donne in 10 min cause it's still hard to me to write in english but i'm getting better by the min...... i think........lol

 

Vicious, that poem is pretty damn sweet.Great job,I love it.

 

Thanks. Well your poem is alright to me. When you keep at it, your writing skills do grow, trust me. Besides, if you think your poem is so bad, then I ought to type up one of my old poems. You'll be sobbing from how bad it is...@_@;

Oh and the recent poem I just read from you...now that's just deep! I like it.^^ I like your poems too Vicious, especially the last one you wrote.

Here's another one from me.

Quicksand

How did I let myself get into this mess?
To become entrapped in all of this stress...

Slowly, I’m sinking in the quicksand of frustration,
Rapidly, depression makes a deep penetration...

Into my mind...
But still I find...

Some faith to reach for a helping hand,
To deliver me from the grip of the sinking sand...

Frustration...
I need liberation...
Because I feel like there’s no way out...
And I just wanna shout!

Still, I’m sinking...
But yet I’m thinking...
There must be some conclusion,
Amidst all of this confusion,

My hand is still reaching for a helping hand,
To deliver me from the grip of the sinking sand...

But at this point I begin to wonder,
As this quicksand of frustration keeps pulling me under...

Will my own problems eventually drown me?
Have I become my own worst enemy?

With all of the trauma I’ve been going through,
Things only get worse and I don’t know what to do!

One thing I do know...I want to be free...
But is there anyone who is willing to help me?

How I wish just to be free...
Is there anyone who is willing to help me?

Depressing, yes....but, it's my personal best since I was feeling kinda down when I wrote it.

 

OBSESSION

His name is unlike others
& His words keep me occupied,
The touch he gives
Send shivers up & down my spine.

His memory gets me
Lost in time,
and his embrace
Isn’t only mine.

The passion flows through my veins
& He makes my blood boil,
To feel him inside me
Makes it all worthwhile.

I'll share him,
because I know he must roam...
He will never keep just one
to make a home.

He makes me burn inside
Only for him,
Stimulating both my
body and my mind

His heart is out of reach,
his depth slice’s through ice
his tenderness creeps from beneath
and can only be seen by my eyes.

I long for his voice
Yearn for his touch,
His kiss alone
is my only crutch.

I've had a taste & now my hunger
it can’t be satisfied,
His soul is what I need now...
The chase becomes intensified.

His juices flowing through me,
He makes my thirst great...
I need more,
I let his passion consume me.

I kiss the night air
Always wishing him there,
Daydreams take me to him
Until the sunlight grows dim.

Despair in my heart
no word for days,
I wade in the river
Perturbed in a daze.

Head on my pillow
& Sighs of anguish,
To be near him
Is my only wish.

 

A First Impression

This is something I wrote on the bus from Dublin to Longford ...about a new friendship and its possibilities.


He spoke to me
and his voice gave me chills,
He made me laugh
and gave my heart a thrill.

The warmth of his embrace
and I felt my world collapse,
I'm falling for him fast
I hope his interest lasts.

The distance between us
though is far and wide
can only show if it will turn into a love
that withstands the test of time

If it happens that we
were meant to be,
I'd cross the ocean wide
to love him happily.

It's too soon to know
we've only just begun,
there's so much yet to learn
so much I want to know.

His memories of old
that made him what he is today,
the dreams he keeps for the future
and how he wants his life to be

What makes him laugh,
what makes him cry,
what one thing he wants out of life
before the day he dies.

The warmth of his kiss,
the feel of his caress,
the look on his face
when he lays down to rest.

I keep thoughts of him
close to my heart
though short the time we had,
the memories fill our time apart.

His eyes are so clear,
his heart has had much pain
I can see deep inside him
he needs time to love again.

For he is a man worth knowing and
and friend worth Having.
If friends forever we shall be,
I'd still consider myself quite lucky.

 

Thanks man, I really appreciate it...


Sounds of a Dying Conscience

What is it that you seek?
(All the secrets hidden in me...)
What is it that you need to find?
(All the ties that hold my past behind...)
Is there anything I can do?
(Yes...yes...let me through)
But what is it that you see in your heart?
(A brand new start)
How will you change your ways?
(Don't worry...inside ill always be the same...)
What of your soul?
(It means nothing...its gone cold...)
To become a machine?
(Something they always wanted me to be...)
What are you willing to let go?
(I don't know...)
What are you willing to let go?
(I don't know...)
Are you aware of pain?
(Yes, the one my familiy felt from my shame...)
So you let them down?
(Even let them drown...)
Filled with regret?
(you bet...)
Then why continue?
(I thought you knew...)
You learn better from your mistakes?
(Heh...thats all fake...)
Then tell me...what is real?
(All the pain I feel...)
What is real?
(Anything but my hopes...they're surreal...)
Im afraid i cant let you in...
(You have always been there for me...)
I still can't let you in...
(Advice you would always give me...)
I...can't let you in...
(You would always guide me...)
Not this time...
(Why?)
Not this time...
(I'm on my own?)
Yes...on your own.

 

Born

rebirth....a shadow cast upon people of life.
i am the night in all ways.
a shadow looming in the day.
across this world i make my way.

light, the ominious presence.
the vicious path i cannot take.
sleep through it...hope it will go away.
burn me from the inside...the cause of true pain.

fear. its caused by reason.
common sense is the real cause.
to stalk the night without a worry...
thats living blindly, and dieing in vain.

love is as love wants.
forever a mystery to me.
forever the only thing for this soul.
or as i lay broken and battered, blood soaking my wings, this darkness consuming, and this night causing me pain, love will always keep me sane.





Almost

ponder what i think is right,
lost in my own personal fight,
craving what i wish is true,
knowing that i have lost you.

restless days have kept me scard,
hardly willing, barely aware,
only your face keeps me alive,
like air, you let me thrive.

forever is as it once was,
a shadow amongst a thousand doves,
so lost, so forgotten, beauty surpassed,
the white of the bird covering it's mass.

yet without mass it is, a wrinkle in time
a cough in the wind, useless as this rhyme,
forever forbidden, as eden was once long ago,
and as the days of babylon have lost their glow.

so, sitting here, miserable, i cry.
take me now, for i will die!
no death sweeter then that of your making.
tis not a punishment when it's for you i'm taking.

goodbye eternity...



Always

the only way to love is to love you from afar...
for you are the image that paints my skies...
the stars that lights my nights...
the moon that keeps me company in the dark.

the only way to love is to love you anew...
as the sun spills new in the morning...
and the birds sing readily by noon
and the world is at peace when your near me.

the only way to love you is to love letting you go...
to be free like my skies, and my stars and my moon...
to sing like the birds perched on the balconies of this metropolis....
to kiss me one last time....to touch me one last time.

i will walk by your side....always.

 

One Winged Angel

Angel I can see your eyes,
And I can't help to wonder why there is so much doubt,
I see that you're missing your wing,
One winged angel...I'll help you rise.

Is there no innocence in this heart of yours? Why?
There was no other reason for you to fall from the sky,
But you came,
One winged angel...I'll help you reach the sky again.

Such impurities in your soul,
The warmth has gone cold,
And now it is gone,
One winged angel I will be your sun.

But you don't say a word,
Are you too weak?
Angel, I know you can speak.
Don't hide out on me,
As you glance at me so secretly .

I can't help you out.
And I wish I could,
But your silence won't send you above.

One winged angel,
Just cut off your remaining wing...
And you'll be...


Just Like Me

 

Great stuff Vicious^^

 

Thanks Alot....you have good stuff too by the way.



A.D.D. (American Dream Died)

Enough to make you scream,
These views on society,
The ways of this American Dream,
We carry on hypocricy.

Religion, Decency, Ethics, all have fallen,
The angels and demons waging war,
A new age is calling,
Progression can only go so far.

"At least we tried."
The real American slogan,
The reason why the American dream died,
The American dream died?
Yeah...it won't come back again.

Such atrocities...
The acts commited before,
With brutality...
Yet we wanted more.

Enough to make you scream,
These views on society,
The way of this American Dream,
We carry on hypocricy.

And I thought there was sacrifice,
For something good,
But we just wasted our lives,
For nothing true.

Its where sins are justice,
Where society is made,
This abnormal practice,
Adds more to the disgrace.

And I can't stand that theres no change.
We can't be like this forever,
Won't things go in thier place?

Oh, Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound?
When war is staring you in the face,
Countless men dying on the battle ground.

Enough to make you scream,
These views of society,
The way of this American Dream,
We carry on hyprocricy.

This American Dream Died...
But at least you tried!

 

A little intro before I start off. When I wrote this I had no concern of the rhyming in this I just wanted to get the emotion in it. So this will be a little different from anything I have posted in the past. Enjoy...

Emblem of Imperfection

A feeling so sublime,
Killing yet living in me,
Ive become abstracted,
My dark room has become my coffin,
Inanimate...
Motionless...
Iam without a heart now,
And my crape has gone to a different shade of black,
You not realize your mistake?
The way you inflicted your love,
All your disease,
I abhor from my disgrace,
Ive let you down,
And I cannot begin to think how many times I stood on your chest.
All those times you couldnt breathe,
My failure has become my aversion,
Yet the pleasure I had...
You gave me something that only my life can take away,
And I plighted that I should do the same,
To give you this celestial feeling,
As you have done to me.
But broken promises,
Have dragged down into the pits of my minds hell,
And once again Im reminded of my flaws,
It is an emblem of my imperfection,
Because of you,
It has become an emblem of my imperfection.

 

This one is a little short

It's not 30 minutes long, but if I don't win, that's okay.

Point of no Return

You've walked too far
You've arrived in a place
where havoc and mayhem rule all
what is that look on your face?
you're the one who took the fall
the one who tried to conquer this
and now your quest is all amiss
because this location
is in distortation
It's your fault, you know
There's no where to go
nowhere to hide
and all those evil feelings inside
will erupt in short time
and corruption will climb
to and even higher height
try with all your might
but it's too late
it is your fate
to be corrupted like one of us

there's many corruptions, you know
corruption by money, gambling it shows
that things aren't what they seem
that the diamond has lost its gleam
"i'm broke, i'm hungry!" people shout
and nobody's good enough to help out
the poor and the homeless are all ignored
while the rich watch tv, acting bored
and now you will become one of them
your light is starting to finally dim
your door shall soon close
and you will dose
in the flourescent sunlight, away from those
who have nothing left to treasure
while you sit there, having some pleasure
watching corruption with glee
and sitting next to me

-FIN-

Well, that's all I got. I hope I win!

 

ME
If I could be want you want me to be, would I be me?
Living a lie as if I could die, far from the sky I look into you eyes and see what you want me to be. I want to be me, but I want you to want me so we can just be like I see me. Do I change me to what you see or just stay the same old me?
If I see me and your not with me does that make me, me? A though in my head if I change me to what you see, then I will have you and you will have me and it will be just like what I see when I see me. If I don't change then you won't be with me, so what I see when I see me just won't be me.

I'm not very good at doing this, but I did give it a try.

 

wrote this for a girl i used to date...when she left for college this is what i wrote for her. i dont think its good...tell the truth i think all my poetry sucks ass so...anyway...

I took your hand and told you i loved you...
you nodded and said I love you too...
your hand slipped from mine as you walked away...
as you boarded that plane time seemed to slow down...
minutes seemed to creep by ever so slowly...
time stood still as i watched you fly away from me...
i found myself at home...everything just a blur...
the only thing that i still could remember...
was you telling me...you loved me...
and as life slowly began to run again...
all i can remember of that night...
is your loving words...and your kiss so divine...

i lay awake at night...wondering...
do you remember that night...
that night when i waited for you in the rain...
waiting...only to say i loved you...
do you remember when i held you close...
when i told you i would never let go...
do you remember that day in the park...
when we sat with our eyes to the sky...
playing with the clouds above...
do you remember the sunset that night...
how red the sky was...when i first kissed you...

emotions and thoughts all too strong for words...
everynight as sleepless as the one before...
everyday as empty as my heart...
everyevening as lonely as a single star...
my life is quiet...empty...lonely...sad...
everyday blurs into the next...
no significance to part them from eternity...
and all because your gone from me...
because my heart still yearns for your touch...
because my mind cries out for you...
because of all this...im standing here in front of you...
simply to say...I Love You.

 

It's pretty good. I was chasing my dog today because he ran off, and that gave me inspiration to write this:

BOOM! Goes the sound of the starting gun
as all the runners start to run
5 runners and me race the wind

One runner trips on his own shoe
and knocks down another runner, too
now 3 runners and me race the wind

Some weird runner goes on another bend
thinking it's a shortcut to the end
now 2 runners and me race the wind

The red-haired runner slips
and me he almost trips
now a runner and me race the wind

the runner has to stop
he's tired, now i'm on top
now only I race the wind

I hear a howl, then falling rain
the wind's catching up again
I run faster, going to win
and cross the finish line, the race is fin
I won a race against the wind
-*-
FIN
-*-
So, how'd you like it? It's kinda corny, I know, but oh well! It's kinda cool, at least.

 

No Wonder

Bread,Bed
Cold, Mold
Throw em...wha? No wonder I can't write a poem.

 

I wrote this for an English assignment after the weekend that my girlfriend and I went to see "The Phantom of the Opera" at the movie theaters.

Pain of a Phatom

When she was young, her voice so new
I gave her my hopes and my music too.
Long nights I taught her, and then I knew
The people would come to her in slew
and in the Dark my passion grew.

I left her roses, black ribbon lined
and then felt pain as the door douth grind.
He sought her out, her soul to find
and with his words and song so kind
This boy, he tore me from her mind.

So on the stage we'll take our cues
And one last time, my love I'll muse
but in my lair, if she refuse
I'll lynch her love and we both shall lose
so in the dark she'll have to choose.


Please, feel free to post any comments or reputations. They would be very much appreciated.

 

I place upon you this crown,
Yet your love only slows me down.
My minds made up, I am done.
The prize I sought was already won.

You're someone elses, not close to me.
You're someone elses, I cannot see.
You taint me with your want,
I can't just live for fun...

I'm not around for you now,
I can't take the abuse now.
Your lips mouth the words,
And all in all, It hurts...

Goodbye my love, Enjoy him while you can.
I won't wait for you, I said never to that...
Goodbye my love, I'll miss you everyday.
And when we meet again, I'll scorn you in every way.

 

I'm lost, someone please help me.
Dreaming a sinful dream
Wondering about the pain I'm feeling
Wandering about in an endless maze
I wanna feel complete
I wanna feel the joys in life

Hating the world with an eternal passion
Each step leading to a fate of sorrow
I call out for aid, but no one came knocking at my door
I saw death with his scythe
The murderous look in his eyes

I saw an Angel from high above
With my last breathe, I took everything in
I was lost, but now I'm found
I found my place, within Hell

 

Some pretty good poems here. Everyone has their own style of writing.

Here's a poem that I wrote that I know took waaay more than thirty minutes (in fact, it took a whole week!)

Read on...

Watchin’

Why does it feel,
like everybody's watchin' me?
Has my life become,
some show,
for everyone to see?
Watchin'
where I spit,
Watchin'
who I'm with,
Watchin'
where I go,
Stay with my flow...

One day,
I'm walking,
down the street.
Surprise, surprise,
guess who,
I meet...
An old friend I had,
from way back then.
When I asked,
“How’s life?”
She said the troubles,
just won’t end!

“I’m being crowned the hometown slut,
which I’m not…

“Due to the friends I keep,
rewards to reap!”

“I’ve got myself a reputation…
I could drop the friends,
and put behind this situation.”

So she sings…

Why does it feel,
like everybody's watchin' me?
Has my life become,
some show,
for everyone to see?
Watchin’
all my trends,
Watchin’
all my friends,
Watchin'
where I spit,
Watchin'
who I'm with,
Watchin'
where I go,
Stay with my flow...

A man openly expressed,
his rage,
To a woman,
to whom he was engaged.
She was caught,
with someone else,
and must face her shame.
And it isn’t the first time,
she was caught,
in her twisted game…

She said…
“This goes to show,
you won’t,
let things go!”

He said…
“This happened all before,
I can’t take it anymore!”
She pays the price,
for her crime.
But he wonders,
if she’ll change,
in due time…

So they sing…

Why does it feel,
like everybody's watchin' me?
Has my life become,
some show,
for everyone to see?
Watchin’
my disputes,
Watchin’
like it’s news,
Watchin’
all my trends,
Watchin’
all my friends,
Watchin'
where I spit,
Watchin'
who I'm with,
Watchin'
where I go,
Stay with my flow...

Watchin’
every move,
Watchin’
every groove,
Every
choice I make,
Every
last mistake…
It’s like
I have no peace,
It’s like
a bad disease.
People
watchin’ me,
Just
let me be!
Watchin’
where I spit,
Watchin'
who I'm with,
My life
is like some show,
Here ends
my flow...
