you got words? edited to say: calling all poets

[GroundZero]

looking for good original poetry!
no old or stole stuff


The shadow of a soul in the flickering light
My existence burns down around me
If be such as Heaven, I'm burning in Hell
If no such exists, eternal strife is my damnation
I can not break free; I am doomed to this world
Banished, exiled from peace, love and hope
Be it what you call it; life or survival
I am here for the game let us play it

 

[GroundZero]

Walking through so green and lush,
glisting, glisting they continue to fall,
from the foilage,not very tall,
The air is moist, there is no breeze, a wall of white,
a glimpse of light through the tree's
A brook so clear I am near ,
This is love, beauty, peace
I lie down on the soft ground,
the gentle flow of life running through my hand,
One can only feel we must make a stand
I feel I should not be here,
as they glisten and begin to fall
Molding me with this place I have never been,
full of warmth we are,
we are life,
as they close

doomed

I once gave a lady,
The love of my heart.
Unkowing.......
It was doomed from the start.

Sincere she sounded,
As my love resounded.
How was I to know ,
That her love was unfounded?

My head pounds
My heart aches, it breaks
I seek the day
I see you face to face


good night

Shadow Poetry has a good message board that being said, heres a poem I recently wrote :

the quiet ache that builds in my soul
like a grey rain drop falling from the blue sky
onto the soft earth torn open for sowing

and the beating of the sun as it lifts the moisture
back into the sky, cycling between love and hope
and the genesis of a new life buried, growing

 

[GroundZero]

The Rose
Like a tear from a saddened eye,
The dew slides down her crimson cheek
A lover weeps for the dying of the moon,
A sweetheart laughs for the birth of the sun
Stark and lonely throughout the snows,
Come spring again, we hail the rose.

 

[MeanMeosh]

all things happen for a purpose
leading up to one moment
that will never be revealed.

red rage rocks against the triage
bringing resonance down
down violet treasons, softly, terribly

rising red dawn, blue moon melting
paint from the sky down
down into cloudy eyes, softly, terribly

roaring rods of pain
wrenching red hope down
down my sinking heart, softly, terribly

The Paper, the Pen and the Poem

Here it comes again....
It must be done.
I can no longer fight the sensation
As the thoughts drizzle in by the thousands.
Each idea empties its soul unto the altar-
Naked, a sacrifice to the Gods
They roam from the intellect
Pouring themselves into a mess of scattered promises.
Hours take only minutes-
Emotion sees no time
No boundaries or laws.
It's just me,
Disguised, perhaps,
By the fear of rejection
Or devotion
It all depends on the interpreter.
The composer reads the work
A million times,
Only to see each flaw magnified.
The rejected debris cast aside-
Merely to commence an encore.
Then suddenly,
Without warning-
An inspiration
Each word a passion
Sensibly-
And finally coming to the realization-
The paper, the pen, the poem
And the poet
Become one.
Forever.

concoct maladies incurable
contagious, commensurable
even the most durable
are rendered uninsureable

biography or the parable
of doctor the terrible
not stylish, yet wearable
situation unbearable

modem initializing specify a port and parity
behold the server which cannot be breached it's such a rarity
attack till black yet leave it all intact - the hacker's verity
I type on any keyboard with the utmost of dexterity

contact your optical carrier
tearing through any barrier
in your secure area
like the war but scarier
moving fast like a harrier
electronic malaria
impairing you,
doctor digital invoke hysteria

unstoppable
see me if it's possible
doctor paradoxical
burning my sounds with pirate soft by Roxio

The Nothing:

I am the nothing
nothing at all
You dont have to catch me
Ive nowhere to fall

my body has crumbled
my spirit has failed
my thoughts have all faded
my skin become pale

Please dont cry
tears dont become you
please dont try
theres nothing more that you can do

this is all my own doing
this is all my fault
this is my payment
for every battle Ive fought

My body is empty
my spirit, for naught
I was thinking of something
but I think I forgot

please dont cry
those tears arent meant for me
please dont try
I see your eyes are open, why can you not see?

I know why you stand near, I know you dont care
I can tell by the way that you stand in the air
You open your mouth, but you cant find the words
my feelings dont matter, Im not even there.

I am the nothing
nothing at all
you dont have to catch me
Ive nowhere to fall

WHAT DO YOU SEE

You watch it turn, Yet don't see it move.
As if a record, Needle stuck in a groove.
You know it has slid- If only a mite.
With careful eyes watching Through the days light.
Your eyes getting weary; Though brain remains tight.
You'll see it move- If it takes another night.
Suspicion suppressed, Mind rambling on-
You know time's going, But where has it gone?
For all your days which time doth bequeath,
Not daring the chance for time to cheat.
Then on a day, body shallow and weak
Concentrating so hard,
You don't hear the priest speak.
In your final second At the end of some week,
You see what you saw. Was it what you had seeked?
The passage of time is to us all;
Not the ticking of clocks, Nor hands moving on a wall.
It is the perception of time That is precious to thee.
For the perception of time is what you decree.
And a question in closing...........
Coming from me. In your perception of time,
Just what did you see? ....................................
Only the immediate future? ....................................
Or perhaps, ....................................
the future to be?

Worthing:

A dream of a memory of another mans life
this is how I see myself, screaming in the night
yelling at the darkness, telling it to leave
just to see the darkness has become a part of me
Please bring your light, on me let it shine
make the darkness run, find the goodness deep inside
Im dont mean to sound pathetic, I just want to make you see
Your heart is better than mine could ever hope to be
Ive done nothing to deserve you, Ive done nothing at all
Who sent you here to save me, to pick me up after I fall
I suprised myself by smiling for no reason today
till I realized it was you who made the darkness go away
and made that dream of a memory into something more
and made me live the life that I could never live before

One more, then I go to bed.

Somewhat Smile:

I almost smiled.
Not one of those empty smiles.
One that sits upon your face
and takes away your sorrow.
But it didnt last
long enough to reach my face
it left before my lips could move
Oh well, maybe Ill try again tomorrow

 

[GroundZero]

Sometimes I think Heaven's falling.
Sometimes I hear the devil calling.
He plays his song
Where I don't belong.
As rage consumes my world of bliss,
Help me Lord, how do I resist?
Without my soul I do not exist,
I hear the serpent start to hiss.
I know very little for am I weak,
The Lord's guidance is what I seek.
As wisdom defeats those who just nod,
and wisdom only comes with the fear of God.
Hence I say, I will not conform,
I will not give in or be part of the "norm."
I feel there is someplace I need to go,
It isn't Hell; That I know.
