~A true Lie~

No special rhythm, no special rhyme
lifes a game, so decieving
depression never leaving
a bling eye seeing.

Live to die, die to live?
tears of sorrow
my heart is hollow
theres no tomorrow.

My mind is blurred, I don't know why
just let me unwind
lost in my mind
my love is blind.

No reason for worry, nor pain, or fury.
Gold plated confusion
a silver illusion
copper fusion.

A lost soul found a dry tear falling.

Suicide Bliss

He’s gone…

Her tears are never ending,
She takes a deadly drink,
She is lost in confusion,
Couldn’t live a life of loneliness.

“I will not stay here and wait, I will stand at heavens gate.”

The darkness creeps up,
Her mind weakens,
Her vision is blurred.

“I will not stare into the eyes of the Devil, I will not let him take my soul.”

Tears of regret fall down her face
But they came too late,
Her blood is running cold.

“I will not hold my head down low and cry, I will hold it high to the sky.”

Her body loses all strength,
She collapse to the floor,
Everything in her sight is slowly
Turning to night.

“I know my end is near, But I will breathe in calmly,
Every last living breath, as into the night, my mind goes somberly.

Her body takes its last breath,
Her heart stops it’s beat.

The dawn of morning’s daylight,
Beauty in it’s ecstasy.

A sunrise lovelier than pride,
With fire in it’s heart.

Time dangerously going by,
Like a King’s mastery in rein.

A billion colors gliding in the wind,
The air carrying their shine.

The Sun sets.

Devilry :P

He whispers in my ear
While sitting upon my shoulder
The truth of deception
While deviously deceiving me

Through the night
He lurks my mind
Laughing loudly
Lingering around

Circling frustration
From delusional dreams
A burst of madness
Jumps into my veins

He is a breeder of fire
An army of leaders
Insatiable without a cure
He is my soul

Damnation is near
Run away, run away, come here.

The Answer Asked

05 December 2005


To find peace
and know you were the answer
To understand at last
the welcome mat was at your door

This poet neither discarded or unwanted
that was never an outcome to doubt
Where wisdom was worth of her hand
separated by separation to link

Not in denial of another day break
where she was standing near the shore
A lake of division no longer deserted
because inside there was a place to find

Her passion of unique destination
not to be confused with lack of desire
Peace at last to ponder in mystique lost
and know you were the answer asked


“Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.”
Jude 1: 2 KJV

a poet who cares

The truth is write for yourself and don't gave a damn about anyone else
or care for another like crazy - and express that in ways of being selfish
because you as the 'poet' are the master of your own words

New Zealand poet and master of self
- ROFL


I do not write poems - I play with words - write bad grammar and destroy the English
language - and do not care about rules of what a poem is meant or not meant to be - you
get out of one of my words - not the meaning - but the feeling of reading it - start at the
top - read to the bottom and then ponder over the first thought that comes into you mind -
do not try the think what I was thinking about - relate to what you are made to think about
as a result - and how you feel inside - happy, sad, confused - upset -
just take it as it comes

Words of a Poet

05 December 2005


The days are early
the nights are sweet
When without you
there was a void to full

Where was kindness
does that remain true
Or do I look to her eyes
and say “I love you”

When I do not know what love is
and some things are impossible to dream
My Ontarian heart was but cold
to that of seasons current to feel

My world has no snow
except high upon mountain peaks
My love has but one reason
only I do not know how to love you back

Great stuff posted here....I am enjoying the read!

Monster

Instead of blood, poison pulses through his veins
Callous, uncaring monster
Venemous
Toxic
Vile
Knowledge of this spawns an evil smile
Wild
Wanton
Wicked
Wreking havoc wherever he goes
Taking pleasure from other people's woe's
Chaos
Frenetic
A jumbled mess
Just from looking, who would guess
The devil incarnate, disguised as a lover
What a terrible shock when he blew his cover
Waging a war with your sanity at stake
He spews some more hatred, how much can you take
In a single moment, in the blink of an eye
Your whole life changed - he had to die!

The Simple Things

I miss all the simple little things
the simple joys and pleasures that life brings
the phone calls at noon to just say hi
the quiet moments together to pass the time by
sitting close under the night sky
holding each other....hmm, oh my
I miss the times when we just walked
all the nights that we stayed up late and talked
I miss the times we disagree
these times that make us free
I miss tickle fights and makin fun
these things told me that we were one
rainy days, sitting on the deck
sandcastles and puzzles...somthing to wreck
I miss the drives to who knows where
spending time together without a care
I miss waking up and kissing you
watching you do the things you do
stealing the blankets back too
coming to me when you are blue
I miss the touch of your hand upon my face
sharing our home, our life, our space
to share a life there must be two
now these things are very few
I miss these things that made me see
that man and woman where meant to be
I will find the one for me
and she will also see
that simple things will set us free

Untouchable and knight you two guys are awesome..keep up the good work


The moon was full
and the stars were out
sparkling and bright
As we stood on the mountain
looking at what we accomplished
realising there was no
need for fear or fright

We climbed that mountain
from the valley below
The treacherous rocks
falling beneath our feet
still we keep climbing
not willing to give
into the temptation
of defeat

So has our love been
its many pitfalls and
rocky terrain
still we kept climbing
moved by the notion
of what was ahead
at the end of our
journey only the heavens
and bright stars would remain

Where do we go from here
the answer we both know
we conquered a mountain
by reaching it's peak
it's time to grab the clouds
and soar together in matrimony

foil in my teeth makes me shiver
as does alcohol in my liver
or flies upon my meal
but one thing that makes me laugh
is watching dogs eat toffee

Above the screams(Kind of an of an unusual write for me)
Posted: 12/5/2005 2:28:31 PM
Aliskat, I absolutely loved "Above the screams"... almost made me cry.

Isn't it great when you create something that is far from your norm? When it just flows and becomes this completely new invention? Such a rush! : )

Eh, yeah, it is a bit distracting from school, this forum has definitely become addicting... I wish I had time to read everyone's work! Have a nice night : )

The profound poet

Poetry is the ability
To provoke feelings

Like a drug or potion
It brings emotions

Good, bad, or ugly
You will see what your minds eye wants to see
From the ability or emotion
of the poet

shinyknight, I especially liked the poem in which you had the double-spacing (for the content, not for the spacing, necessarily, just did not know how else to differentiate it from the other poems) :)

A Hand from A Far

06 December 2005


How untouchable was she
in her place of Langley
Where opinions were
what no one asked

And to share was all she knew
of a dedication in heart all to British Columbia
Her Canadian home of this universe she grew

North of Washington in the USA
and not far from White Rock
On this path from
Vancouver to Chilliwack
Both there and back

A warm smile - a pretty face
Where age was to grace
This untouchable girl
who had reached out
For was she really untouchable
for that remained in doubt

The Dawning of a New Day


Did you ever see the sun rise
in the morning over the mountaintops?
a sight to behold, siganaling a new day
a chance to begin again and start off
fresh, The storms of yesterday only a
forgotten memory left in the cold

Did you ever see the flowers
bloom in the spring?
sewn by the seeds of yesterdays
frost implanted in the ground
rising up again to spring beauty
where yesterday there was
darkness and decay

Did you ever see the ocean in the morning
waves calmly splashing to shore?
soothing the soul with peace and tranquilness
where yesterday it's fierce waves
and powerful winds, made you cower
in fearfullness

Did you ever have a love that made you
whole and complete?, where everyday was
a new day, a love like this will last for an eternity
yesterday's sorrow will perish in defeat
