This is a poem that I wrote the other day. Some of it I would say relates to me and some of it doesn't. This is also my first poem I ever wrote, so its not that good. I uselly write short stories.

 

 

When I was Young

 

Tell me a story when I was young

When I didn't care about life

When I felt so free

 

Tell me a story when I was young

Did you love playing with me?

Was it fun for you as it was for me?

 

Tell me a story when I was young

Was I as small as the say?

Did dad love me anyways?

 

Tell me a story when I was young

When you embraced me in your arms

Oh how they felt so warm

 

Tell me a story when I was young

Do you miss me now that I am gone?

Do you sing our song?

 

This is our time to say goodbye

So please don't cry

I'm safe here with my heavenly father

 

So please don't cry

And say goodbye

 

That's pretty dang good!!! It's so sad too:( Keep up the good work!!!

holaaa! some more stuff, which would actually be something i mentioned that influenced that last thing i posted on here. it's one of the few things that i've tried to rhyme and it actually turned out well.

 

Bad Handshakes

 

Falling arms on sidewalk streets

Selling sins in palms

Passing corpses closed in sheets

Healing wounds with psalms

 

Failing hearts will still forgive

But collapsed lungs won't take

And blood from donors never sticks

But some things you can't shake

 

I know your breath, i know your blood

Now toast to life, and drink to love

 

Fixed eyes fall on darker skies

Where clouds burn shades of blue

Among the brighter stars, to seize

A shimmer of the duller hue

 

 

The shading of your skin; it pales

Against the deepest cold

The flames to fill the shallow wounds,

The caverns of your soul

 

And while hands held onto Sweet Syringe

All nerves and fingers shake

The cold caress of sidewalk streets

Marks meeting palms and eyes as fakes

 

I know your breath, i know your blood

Now toast to life, and drink to love

 

Gasping now, the earth gapes wide

to swallow flesh and light

Snatch breath and hope from all without

Stole all mistakes and ended plight

 

When gears turn wheels and oiled cogs

And corpses stretch for burning Sun

The speeding belt burns down the heels

They shine mechanic, every one

 

I know your breath, i know your blood

Now toast to life, and drink to love

 

Reaching for the sea, you turn

to Heaven, plea your prayer!

For drier words have never been

Spoken in this thinnest of air

 

And orchestrated, every curse -

Confessed and then disguised -

Strikes up the March of daily dawn

As souls fall down and ashes rise

^ That's really really REALLY good :)

 

Something i wrote a few nights ago.... it's not really good though.

 

(Broken) Memory Lane

 

You slip a goodbye note under the door

but i've read it many times through your

eyes before

 

I've loved you once but that's faded away

long ago we've took our trip down (broken)

memory lane with the melodys of goodbyes

running through our minds

 

We're kissing stars hoping they'll help

us find the right words to say when we

watch this end

 

We slept through the good and lived

through the bad

 

The sun hides behind the clouds like it

has something to say as we take our last

trip down (broken) memory lane

 

We're kissing stars hoping they'll help

us find the right words to say when we

watch this end

 

You slip a goodbye note under the door

but i've read it many times through your

eyes before

EDITT

 

I added a lot of stuff to it basically from the chorus on.

 

Nuclear Bombs and Blonde Highlights

 

I sit here in the middle of the night

Continuously running my fingers through my hair

I just can't seem to figure it out

Trying to assume what my life's about

And i drink in the midnight air

Thinking of nuclear bombs and blonde highlights

But i try not to think of the future

I like to live in the past

Where everything has already happened

And i dont have to worry about job interviews, car insurance, or love

Most of all love

That's the only thing wrong with the past

For me, love never seems to last

 

[Chorus]

Like the cologne i wear

This bad taste will eventually fade away

But for now i just want to sit here

Run my fingers through my hair

And not think about what will happen next

Just be ignorant to the fact

Everyone will stab my back

 

I'll sit here outside alone

It's daylight now

Wont be long until a storm of people come

I still wont face the present

Ill let my mind wander and be absent

Thinking of a beautiful wind and suntouched roofs

And how a fire could take it all away

Oh how i wish the flames would consume me

 

[Chorus]

 

Ill sit here and listen to the shouts and screams

That storm of people is on its way

People will ask me questions

Why do you write in that ridiculous notebook

I guess it's to remind me of every chance i took

To remind myself how much i fucked up

So i live in the past

Thats my reason

^ That has to be my favorite that you've posted on here. :D

 

Yeah so i wrote another one haha. So Here it is.

 

Let go

 

I'm watching our memorises wash

away as the tide moves in

 

We're running out of time with

letting go and saying goodbye

 

Our Mistakes keep playing

like a bad movie we can't escape

 

Just say goodbye and let go of

this all it's too late to say we're

sorry watch our memories wash away

i think it's time to let go before we take

this road once more

 

The happiness we had drifted away

as the wind came in and took it from

us

 

We expect more then we can take

and it shouldn't stay this way

 

Just say goodbye and let go of

this all it's too late to say we're

sorry watch our memories wash away

i think it's time to let go before we take

this road once more

 

I'm watching our memorises wash

away as the tide moves in

I wrote a new one not to long ago. =]

 

Cross my heart

 

I'll cross my heart and hope to die

I'll say i'm sorry one more time

 

Leaving with this regret in my head

Isn't where i want the road to end

but i wont say a thing 'cause this is

how it should be

 

I'll cross my heart and hope to die

I'll watch my breath hit the winter air

so light walking down a distance road

with "I'm sorry" written in the stars above

 

I'm holding on to what i can time is

running out like the last bit of sand

in an hour glass a thousand apologies

can be said but it's too late for that

 

Leaving with this regret in my head

Isn't where i want the road to end

but i wont say a thing 'cause this is

how it should be

 

I'll cross my heart and hope to die

I'll say i'm sorry one more time

excelent work to all of you guys.

 

heres one of mine:

 

The Gardener

 

Your questioning eyes are sad.

 

They seek to know my meaning as the moon would fathom the sea.

 

I have bared my life before your eyesfrom end to end, with nothing hidden or held back.

 

That is why you know me not. If it were only a gem, I could break it into a hundred pieces and string them into a chain to put onto your neck.

 

If it were only a flower, round, small, and sweet, I could pluck it from its stem and set it in your hair.

 

But it is a heart, my beloved.

 

Where are its shores and its bottom?

 

You know not the limits of this kingdom, still you are its queen.

 

If it were only a moment of pleasure it would flower in an easy smile, and you can see it and read it in a moment.

 

If it were merely a pain, it would melt in limpid tears, reflecting its inmost secret without a word.

 

But it is love, my beloved.

 

Its pleasure and pain are boundless and endless its wants and wealth. It is as near to you as your life, but you never wholly know it.

Awesome stuff guys. Especially you Smith! lol. ASians do exist.

Poem, Song and Song

 

The Cuban Once Said

 

These past endevours have taught me a lot

 

Climbing up the pyramid, damn these sides are steep

 

The bricks move closer creating a solid foundation

 

A foundation for life, the gaps still like cracks

 

 

 

Your pictures remind me, of this deep feeling in my heart

 

All those times that I wished, this was true, all was true

 

But what can I say? If I haven't even loved or lost

 

Dear John, Im sorry, but did you even know where to start?

 

 

 

Flicking this nickel into my grave, Bet on heads consequences paid

 

It's the best of men that fall, the hardest of all, but this is the life I lead

 

Extinguishing this cartridge, wondering what I really hit

 

Shooting one's foot, no guarantees to save this face

 

 

 

All these good intentions, that came out black and white

 

This light blinds me, as I try to replicate these thoughts

 

Pulling into this parking lot, I'd be honest about this lie

 

But the smoke is only cabbage; A hypocrisy id hope would die

 

 

 

Im lost inside your eyes, the same movie comes to mind

 

A radio's high pitched scream, like Sirens in the light

 

If I bought this record player, would these songs play without a beat?

 

Or would they be shattered, as these bombs hit the beach

 

 

 

A family I once had, I wish I could be with again

 

Theres no substitute for her, only a new horizon

 

But this horizon, has overtones of uncertainty

 

A certainty to last, for longer than the journey.

 

 

 

If only it could be different, but it's always just the same

 

Wish I never looked at your pictures, oh my what a dame

 

Thinking about the time I first saw you, this heavy feeling in my heart

 

Would I take it back? In a heartbeat, to save me from this grace

 

 

 

Lucky Strikes

 

 

 

You left me wondering, when the next time will be

 

To exchange fake smiles or pretend to be happy

 

If only the ratio of all our thoughts exchanged

 

Could be in my favor, these fortunes will fade

 

 

 

When will you realize that I really care

 

Would you give a fuck? If I was even there

 

 

 

You left me hanging, in this space today

 

So close so far, but still miles away

 

To hold you for that moment, the last song to ring

 

Would mean so much to me, if it wasn't a dream

 

 

 

When will you realize that I really cared

 

Did you give a fuck? When I was actually there

 

 

 

Here we stand, bright hallways so wide

 

Will you walk right by? In the corner of your eye

 

Here we stand, naked to the truth

 

I'll walk right by, In the corner of your eye

 

 

 

Finally im in the place where I can ask

 

But I could never only feel that way

 

Its easy to forget within the confines of this room

 

But im plastered with regrets when I say goodbye

 

If I can even say goodbye

 

 

 

Constants and Changes

 

 

 

7 days have passed, and all I want is to see you smile again

 

A smile that lights the room, like fireworks in this cold monday sky

 

I hate to see you cry, your tears drop from such honest eyes (such honest eyes)

 

I'd do anything to be there for you, you don't deserve this, you don't deserve this at all

 

 

 

You wish upon a star, wishing for a miracle

 

You hope he looks up high, But im wishing you were here with me.

 

This road will never end,

 

 

 

Another 7 days have passed, These empty bottles don't change a thing

 

Hes so far away, but im right here hoping for better days

 

These days will come, as time goes on, Things will be good again

 

Let me be your knight, to sweep you of your feet and take you home

 

 

 

You wish upon a star, wishing for a miracle

 

I hope you look up high, cause ill be there with you

 

These better days have come, better days have come

 

 

 

These new beginnings have come for you and i

 

I hope that you could see me, for what I really am

 

So scared ill never see you, again from the last time

 

I think I really love you, im so caught up in your eyes

 

Im really gonna miss you, I'd love to change your mind

 

 

 

I wish upon a star, Wishing for a miracle

 

I hope that you could stay, Don't give up on this

 

Cause ill be waiting for you

 

At the end of this tunnel, at the end of this tunnel just for you

 

Peace

Ren

Weeee...okay!

 

Haha.

 

This comes with an explanation...

 

I wrote this for a school magazine. It deals with a pretty touchy subject (which I won't give away cos it's basically the whole point of the story) and I've yet to find out if it's been accepted into the magazine for publishing.

 

Everything in this is fictional, I don't know anybody who has gone through this, and any similarities are concidential. Ya know..like in movie warnings. Haha. Anyways, here we go..

 

 

 

Uncontrollable

 

She knew what she was doing was wrong. She knew it better than most people twice her age, but there was no other choice. Her frail, seventeen year old body held more knowledge than many twice her age. She knew she wouldn’t be able to excuse her way out of this anymore.

 

Life had thrown her a curve-ball, and she was reacting in the only way she knew how. She was running away from it.

 

She sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time that day and fidgeted in the hard metal chair. Hospitals had never agreed with her. The cold sterile hallways and the lingering stench of sickness hung in the air like an aura of warning to all those who dared enter.

 

She chuckled softly to herself, her own laughter somehow alien, and she thought of how different her life had become since it all began.

 

She was a pretty girl, but a little on the plain side. Her features were soft and her snub nose got her nowhere with the male population. Her thick auburn hair was never shiny enough, her teeth were never sparkly enough, and her eyes never quite shone bright enough. The story of her life.

 

She’d been a straight-A student, the pride of most of her teachers, and the object of her parent’s constant adoration. As dependable as a checkered tile on the floor, she never quite wandered beyond her own little circle of friends, and she wondered now if things might have turned out differently if she had.

 

She felt her stomach rumble and instinctively glanced towards the clock in the corner of the waiting room. Five more minutes to go.

 

Her conscience fought a losing battle against her mind but she knew it was too late to turn back even if she wanted to. She had to do it. She couldn’t bear the thought of her parents’ faces if she told them. Told them what their perfect little angel had gone and done. She’d worked too hard to get where she was and she wasn’t ready to give it up. Not even for something this big.

 

Before this, she’d led a pretty normal life. School, homework, and an occasional outing with friends. Her life had been good. Her future was clear and full of prospects, hers for the taking, and she knew she had a chance of getting into any university she wanted. Life was just waiting for her, beyond the school doors, but it wasn’t going to be able to wait for her much longer.

 

She’d already planned out her life, confident that she would achieve things beyond her imagination. A master’s degree in Art and a minor in English Lit. by the time she was 24, a steady job that made her happy at the age of 28, and a handsome husband by the time she was 32. Funny how life always catches you off guard even when you try to grab it by the reins.

 

’Ms. Wilkins?’

 

The nurse’s voice pulled her mind away from its muddled thoughts and she struggled to straighten herself from her previously lethargic state on the chair. She turned to face the middle-aged nurse standing near the entrance way into the waiting room, wondering if her time had come.

 

The nurse nodded a pitying look on her wrinkled features and waited for her to stand and make her way across the deserted room before leading the way down a maze of white halls.

 

Her white sneakers squeaked on the newly polished floor, causing the undisturbed silence to shatter. Her hair hung limply in front of her face as she followed the nurse robotically, her mind beginning to wander, as it often tended to do.

 

She’d gone to the park. To gather her thoughts and just be alone. Away from the stress of school and away from the high expectations her parents put upon her. It’d been a pretty day. The sky was clear and she’d even managed to secure a spot on a bench, just watching people come and go. This was the way she liked it. She loved to watch people, to wonder where they were going and why they were wearing what they were wearing. She wondered if any of them ever stopped to think about their lives, ever stopped to watch other people hail a taxi and then realise their life was meaningless. Probably not she concluded.

 

She knew she thought too much. She constantly analyzed her life, wondering if she’d ever be free of anybody’s expectations, if she’d ever be able to think for herself. Her questions would never be answered. Not until she was lying on her death bed. She knew that, and she accepted it. This was the way her life was meant to be.

 

Then it happened.

 

She couldn’t quite remember how, and she couldn’t quite remember when. Her mind seemed to refuse to recount the past few weeks of her life, as if afraid she’d break if she was ever exposed to it, and she was fine with that. She knew she’d been a complete wreck. Her friends had noticed, and even her teachers were beginning to get suspicious, but what finally led her to crack were her parents. They’d questioned, begged, even threatened, just for a mere clue of what was happening to their daughter. But all she could do was sit and stare. She knew she had to do it. This was all she had.

 

So as the nurse led her from hall to hall, and finally into a room, announcing that the doctor would be with her shortly, she numbed her thoughts and climbed onto the hard bed.

 

She’d never even find out if it was a girl or a boy.

I hope it gets accepted..

It was really meaningful..

Great work :D

Here's a poem I wrote about 2 days ago....

 

Quiet On The Set

 

You start the dialouge.

The plot unfolds nicely,

at first.

Then we both seem to forget our lines.

Silence fills the air.

I wish I knew what to say.

And I find myself wondering what your thinking.

Are you as nervous as I am?

Are you thinking about me also?

 

My heart's been broken.

Shattered and ripped apart.

It's been stitched back together in hope of finding love.

By believing, my heart's taken quite a few swings.

 

Many have came and gone.

Trying out for the part,

But not making the cut.

You auditioned and fit the part.

I know little about you,

and catch myself wanting to know more.

You make me nervous.

Which isn't a feeling I'm too use to
