isshinryu5toforever Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I don't know how many on this forum write poetry. We have a literature topic now, so why not have a poetry one as well. If you want to post your own poetry or discuss some feel free to put it up. If am asking other to bear their soul through their writing I may as well begin as not to be hypocritical. You're All Alone Look at the people on the street. They've all got somewhere to go, Someone special to meet, And I sit here all alone. You see no lines in my face, But my age in my eyes, they stare off into space, As my throat lets out soft sighs. I slowly sip my drink, I look into the bottom of the glass. I feel my heart slowly sink. Lonliness makes another pass. I let my mind start to roam, To thoughts that there's no place like home. All Too Lucid How did you fall in love with me? I can see you're the one, I feel your warmth beside my body. I see your beautiful silhouette created by the setting of the sun, I can feel the soft tenderness of your lips, They caress my cheek as I awake. I see the graceful curve of your hips, And the soft lines in the sheets they make. You have beautifully long flowing hair, It shimmers in the sun, Your love is around me everywhere, From you I will never need to run. But isn't this an evil twist, For you my dear do not exist.

Cmon Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Ill have only written one: When the Light Fails. When the light fails, The journey across, The bridge passing, From old to new. Darkness falls, And all hope flees. Vengefulness influences The mind to condemn. The old left scorned And bitter. The new occupied, With the uncertainty, Of living in, Forgiveness, love, And harmony. Or existing with hatred, Hostility and pain Left with no purpose But to pursue revenge. Yet love remains, Withstanding the, Resentment the, Journey bestows. Love, the guiding Light Assures the journey, Is a Success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbelt_girl15 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Those were great poems isshinryu5 Here's one of mine. Gently shines the sun On this day bright and warm Watching friends play Everything seems norm Yet far,far away In a land harsh and dry Our brave courageous soldiers Do battle,fight and die. Not only for our country Do they do this thing But for each Iraqi's freedom And so the people may sing Of liberty and justice That brought down their dictator king. Three cheers for coalition troops Saddam is now in jail He'll never,ever rule again His riegn as tyrant's failed. And though the war's not over We can rest a bit at ease Cuz we know we fight For what is right; Freedom and liberty. Not one of our soldiers Died in vain they made Iraqs Dream come true But we must remember that Freedom of this world will fade Away with death, 'tis very true. For Freedom of this world Offers nothing in Gods 'ternal land So now Iraqi's need Grace from Christs hand. This freedom from the Lord Bests all freedom on the world Releasing us from sins death grip Making us children of the Lord. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, a spirit of power, and of self-discipline.2 Timothy 1:7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Two tubby Angels with big fat wings; they cant see so they run into things. It is kind of short, but I like it. It is better to burn out than to fade out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Nice poem and message, greenbeltgirl_15. And now for some Japanese flavoring... The winter wind blows, Birds announce the new morning, Time to train again. For the sake of future growth, the sacrifice of my time.

isshinryu5toforever Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 The rain comes in spring, With it the cherries blossom, This brings my heart joy. Questions Every couple stares at me sardonically Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one alone. They run after moments of fleeting sophomorically, While I seek for love I can own. I miss being able to look into your eyes. They seem to smile softly when you look up at me. I don't want to say our goodbyes, Unless youhear my departing plea. I'll wait for you as long as it takes, Even if you make me wait for months, I'll follow my foolish heart to mistakes. Let's just go out again once. Why do you make me lose my mind? And why is love so unkind? If you haven't noticed I like to write in sonnet form a lot. Just the rhyme scheme though, I don't stick to any beat rules like iambic pantameter.

HumanTyphoon Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Life's End As we sit looking into the sky, With the swift river flowing, Ready to say our last good-byes, Knowing it's time for us to be going, Life's End.... It gives off a grasping fragrance, Leaving behind memories of reminsence, The hands of time are already bent forward, And these chimes are set upon the chord, Life's End.... A journey that we must all take, We can only endure for so long, Yet waiting for something we cannot unmake, To go home to where we belong, Life's End.... To where we become free, And where joy spreads further than the sea, A land under the golden sunshine, To our final destination called paradise. Life's end. If you take a crooked path and have to go through a cliff. Either hope there is a bridge, or learn to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotokanKid Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 World's shortest poem; called Fleas: Adam had'em "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
