| a poem for someone
Posted: 3/28/2009 3:38:09 AM | ok i know im not know around here...and i posted a few other poems under another I.D....smokepanther...this is a bit of lighter poetry from me...for those who think
ALL goths are just dark and gloomy
.............this was written for someone who wishes to remain obscure............
just so you all know...if any of you care...this poem was written for one of my stripper friends...im reading it to her tommarrow...i dont care to hear any negative comments...i know these girls quite well and i know more about them than any "show me your tits" guy ever will...these girls are quite special and more than perfect...and they trust and respect me for not being a "typical" guy so...whatever...here it is
i held an angel last friday night
a vision of beauty and sweet delight
her touch on my cheek so soft and warm
as i held her close safe there in my arms
she smiled at me and i saw in her eyes
something so perfect i wanted to cry
i held her tighter and wished it could be
that this perfect creature belonged to me
ill never forget how she made me feel
like she cared about me and made it seem real
i feel so alone now i cant see her face
or smell her perfume in this cold empty place
i cant wait to see her again soon someday
but until then ill wait here my heart cold and grey
no one ive held before has felt so good and right
now everyday i think of her and i dream of her everynight
i know shes just a fantasy of what dreams will never be
but i love her still and always will for what she means to me
see? ....goths do have a lighter side if only one would stop long enough to get to know us... i hope some of you enjoyed this | |

Posted: 3/28/2009 5:09:27 PM | ...i read this poem to my friend today...she got a bit misty eyed, hugged me, kissed my cheek and said it was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her...i told her she had saved me when i was feeling down and that i do, and will always love her
....its all true...im so happy for her when i see her on stage and all the $ bills sitting on the tip rail...i know her and i are just friends...but if ever a time comes when she finds herself alone. i would make her mine in a heartbeat and set her free to be whatever she wanted to be ...i would never bind this angels wings, not even to keep her close to me
i have found perfection...it really isnt that hard to find when you understand that "perfection" dosent have to mean "without flaw"...but rather "with flaws that i accept and understand"
peace | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 1:37:42 PM | | thank you shadwgrrl...its the same in a lot of poetry forums and i usualy avoid them for the fact that i know my writings are not to everyones taste...but i get really annoyed when 80 or so people read and no one has a damn thing to say to someone who is in effect sharing a bit of thier soul...i mean hell dont kiss up to someone if one dosent like thier poetry...but people should atleast thank eachother for sharing...as you did | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 9:44:53 PM | G'Day gothguy,
I read your poem, thought it could have been better if you had spent a bit more time to rhyme.
As to being disappointed ... I didn't see any kudos from you to me with (in my opinion) gothic effort last year under 'poems from downunder - sunnyside up' ...
Some people write stuff they call poems that don't rhyme; if you out do them, they mostly don't like it and rather than 'step up to the plate' nad have acrack at it, ignore you, it's just their way of capitulating (giving in / up) ... | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 4:10:45 AM | ...grrrr...well POF ate my first reply so i'll see if i can re create it...
i would...kiss you that is... if you were but closer to me "kissme"...lol ...you seem to be quite lovely...not that this is all that matters...but people fool themselves thinking "looks" dont matter at all...... B.S.!!! ...i'll admit i have a certain attraction for strippers...but its not because they take off thier clothes...its more because they aren't afraid of thier sexuality...i have seen the bullshit these girls have to put up with to earn a living...it makes me ashamed to call myself a man at times...i have offered free rides home to the girls because i know that sometimes they only make $20 in a night and i'll buy them dinner too ...often for this i get free "lap" dances... i really wouldent care one way or another but i admire the fact that some "strippers" arent ALL about the bucks...i guess what im getting at is...im sure someone in your area will pull his head out of his ass and realize your a lovely girl who deserves a great guy and he will step up to be the guy you want and perhaps need...i hope he does so soon...no real woman should have to wait to be "resqued" from the bland, boring world of manlyness ...for myself ?...i am playing a song right now...the smiths..."how soon is now"...and this line ...is what i hear most clearly..."when you say it's gonna happen now, when exactly do you mean, ...see i've already waited too long, and all my hope is gone"...hang in there kissme youy seem worth all one could offer...

Posted: 4/1/2009 4:23:19 AM | | i did rhyme...but perhaps more than that... i bared my soul...sometimes rhymes cant convey the feelings of a soul torn into scattered pieces and left to rot and be shredded by the passage of time and emotion...in this instance i ask the readers to understand that ...perhaps...what they are reading...isnt a "poem"...in the true sence of the word...but perhaps a glimpse into anothers soul...in any event...i thank you for posting any comment...it reassures me that someone...is reading | |

....................................
nightmare
alone again
the screaming whispers of what might have been assult my ears
but in the dark i only hear the sounds of my falling tears
wanting needing longing
so cold and lost the tattered remains of my soul searches for a dream
a faded memory
a simple sensation of holding another close
the feeling of being accepted for what i am
the knowledge that i am needed for who i am
the dream that someone finaly feels for me what i have wanted for so long
my heart hangs cold and still by a few worn threads the remains of hope
wanting only to see a sweet angels face looking at me from within my arms with a beautiful loving smile
instead all i see is the ravening corpse of black solitude reaching for me with fangs dripping crimson despair
at night i feel those fangs decend apon me
ripping at my soul tearing away a lil more of what hope remains
everynight i lie helpless and unloved
at the mercy of what ever nightmare may come to feast on me
so often now i think about just how end would feel
i wonder if i have the strength to end the pain
i wonder if anyone would really care if i wasnt here tomarrow
or if they would even know im gone
i know the things it would take for this damage to repair
a gentle touch a sweet embrace a loving kiss apon my face
so often i have dreamt off this of finding sweet loves grace
but now i know the dream is lost never to be replaced
so empty now torn from inside
i wander through this place
all that i can call my own are the tears apon my face
so many people toss aside the things that i hold dear
i wish that they could live my life to feel the things i feel
we use eachother as we will
we choose not not to see the scars we inflict on those we love
and were taught its just the way it has always been
taught that love only brings pain and sacrafice no gain
so once again i wish that i could make the people see
try to love and understand
try to be what were supposed to be
and maybe then ill find my dream in someone i have seen
or maybe my darkness will consume me at last and end all of my pain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"how many times"
how many times can i die inside from sweetly razored words
how many times can i fall this way and my screams still go unheard
how many reasons can give to you to explain my need for your love
how many times will you sacrafice me to lift yourself above
why is it my love that you cant see these scars you inflict apon my skin
why is it my love that you dont see how much you hurt me within
why is it my love that i keep coming back to surrender myself to your sin
why is it my love that i dont seem care when you hurt me again and again
theres only one reason that i do what i do
theres only one reason and its i love you
theres only one reason that wont be denied
theres only one answer i keep locked inside
i love you sweet girl though you dont understand
i love you sweet girl my hearts in your hands
i love you sweet girl so hurt me again
i love you sweet girl as im dying within
theres only one thing that i hope you'll see
theres only one thing that i wished i could be
as i lay here dying my heart torn in two
as i lay here dying my thoughts only of you
i love you sweet girl so pure and so true
i only wish that you had loved me
the way that i loved you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"broken little girl"
tattered shreads of just one soul remain to watch the light
fading into blackness now your life within my sight
a perfect tear and one last kiss your soul to set alight
the wounds you set apon your flesh still haunt me everynight
a distant look my eyes beheld an angel scarred and torn
yet prideful in her state of disgrace aloof and and all alone
i loved you then and always will your scars and wounds within
and even now i love you still drenched in your crimson sin
your heart you kept away from me your love locked deep inside
safe from all the ones who hurt you with thier lies and foolish pride
and still i wanted nothing more than time spent with you my love
forever soon well have my love i say through my tears from above
the days and nights and thoughts we shared together were bittersweet and brief
i tried to prove my love for you with gentle words to heal your pain and grief
and always when i spoke of my love for you you would turn away and say
"i cant return the gift you give" "my love would bring you pain"
then last night i heard you whisper as i lay here half asleep
"i love you baby, i understand now why you loved so deep
my prince you brought me out of darkness my love i know you'll keep
so now i must complete my life i must away to sleep"
waking in our bed alone a beam light i seek coming from the bathroom light just above the sink
a moments stride and once inside i crumble to my knees and everything i though i was has taken flight from me
you lie before me still and pale your sable hair aswirl a crimsom pool beneath you spreads my broken little girl
a scream of grief and trembling hands i lift you from the floor your eyes flicker as you whisper " i'll love you forevermore "
stillness claims you in my arms i'm sinking as you bleed a simple note in your right hand compells me to read
"you my love are my own life and perfect in your heart i couldent bear to taint your soul and so we must apart to hurt you now would kill me love and that i cant endure forgive me love my perfect love so perfect and so pure"
i bend to kiss your cooling lips i'm cold and dead inside
but only for a little while i'll soon be at your side
a moment then i pause to think i promised to love you i promised forever a promise i swore to keep
my love i want to be with you and one day love. i will. but until then i'll live with my grief and my pain and love you, my broken little girl
ok heres a few of what i have stashed...hope you enjoy and understand them...and i hope you enjoy reading | |

| a poem for someone
Posted: 4/1/2009 6:56:18 AM | .........."a bitter cold"..........
a bitter coldness on my skin
the bitter coldness seeps within
chilling bone and flesh and skin
no warmth of life so death begins
a bitter coldness spreads inside
the bitter cold of life denied
no love no hope no strength no pride
is left to me now that i've died
a bitter coldness binds my heart
the bitter coldness sets me apart
from pagan virtue from christian lust
what does it matter when you're dust
a bitter coldness is all thats left
the bitter cold leaves life bereft
just like the corpse you left behind
with wounds of love and selfish pride
a bitter man stands here alone
the bitter man mere flesh and bone
a gaping hole chest torn apart
the gift i gave my soul and heart
you did this, i bleed inside
you did this, i cannot love
you did this, you made me die
you did this, i cannot care
you did this, im not alive
you did this, i dont know why
you did this, behind your smile
you did this, knowing all the while
you did this, your love was poison
you did this, you cold hearted selfish little ****
you did this, i should have seen
you did this, i didnt notice
you did this, i hate you
you did this, i hate myself more
you did this, i still love you
i love you, god help me, i do
..........
.........."dreams"..........
turning stones in barren fields
looking for heaven or a lost respite
calling out names only the wind will hear
stumbling blind beyond the light
in stark desire a lonesome need
like an autum tree from a lone lost seed
surrounded by the dark and solitary night
my soul cries tears of blood but no one see's
a bitter coldness radiates from the mass of humanity
that passes all around my soul
the silence hides my broken voice
or is it ignored by ignorance or choice
the crowded streets are just a game
the poisoned souls use to pass the time
the thoughtless animated puppets i see
jerked by strings through broken dreams
they dont understand what its like to be me
or perhaps they just dont care to see
if ever i could make them see
the life they use so carelessly
is more than a simple gift from above
its not about how much you make
or the fancy car you drive
its not about the parties
or the workday push and shove
its about the magik of caring its about love
the feeling in a tender touch
the things we miss so much
the things we do for just because
its all this and more than any one could tell
its what i need to climb from this hell
alone at night i feel the pain
i cry alone again and again
and i wish with all my heart
to be with someone set apart
from this place of broken dreams
to be wrapped within a loving embrace
and to whisper the things my soul would say
if only one would hear if only one would stay
im waiting and longing that maybe someday
one might stop and listen to what i want say
and that maybe they will love me
for the person that i will be
and not judge me for it i hope someday to see
all the things i missed so long standing next to me
looking at me with love in thier eyes
..........
.........."who i need"..........
as melting daylight leaves my sight, the world turns pale and grey, then giving way to blackest night, the darkness i embrace
within the velvet arms of the night, no one can see my face, no one can see my broken dreams, to many too replace
and all the wounds ive ever had, on soul or heart or skin, are all thats left of who i was, im dying from within
the darkness hides the tears i cry, though no one is here to see, no one cares that in the dark, i wait alone and bleed
so many wounds so deep and raw that time could never heal and no one close who gives a **** about anything i feel
so every night, when darknes falls and wraps me in its arms, alone again im safe within, from those who wish me harm
theres no one here to lie to me, like so many others did, no one here to break my heart, and let me bleed within
the wounds i carry on my soul will never fade away, unless perhaps theres someone still, that i might meet someday
someone who is still so sweet not scarred and torn by life someone who will love me as i am and hold me everynight
theres a chance id like to hope this angel still exists.i just hope she finds me soon ive lost the will to live

Posted: 4/1/2009 6:32:27 PM | The shadows are beckoning
They permeate my sanctity
And wash away my sanity
I'm lost in a moment of reverie
An interlude of nirvana
It overwhelms my existence
The blackened angel hovers
She whispers my name
Gesturing me to deviate
But i elude her mindful gaze
My essence merely staggers
I cease my retrospection
I elude her claws at my back
My legs growing weaker
I nearly collapse in exhaustion
My fight seems trivial
My mind growing dimmer
The shadows are closer now
The mist encompasses my legs
I struggle to prevail against it
But seemingly do i crumble
The cessation of my lifeblood deafens
As my last breath do i finally gasp
My essence is absent; it was all in vain | |
