A personal post after reading interesting lyric post

dead end, not sure what u meant, but from last post I gathered u dont really like what we doing here.

what I meant with dead ends, it can be powerful when used right.
 
I've been writing poetry/lyrics since I was 11. Here's one that I used to play with one of my bands....

Psychosis

Sacrifice sanity to the flames
A helpless hunger for the game
I understand all your confusion
Happiness is an illusion

Resolute penance for your hate
A foreign inability to relate
I will accept your confusion
Happiness is only an illusion

I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know
I don’t need to know
What you think about me

Lost forever in delusion
Don’t lie to yourself, love is an illusion
Blinded now to the pain
Alone and listless once again

Left yourself to your own devices
Counted back to thoughtless sacrifices
I understand all your confusion
Reality is just an illusion

I don’t want to know
I don’t want to know
I don’t need to know
What you think about me

Forget all the words used to spite
Forget your ideas of wrong and right
Forget the regrets embedded in your brain
But never forget the pain

Sacrifice sanity to the flames
A helpless hunger for the game
I understand all your confusion
Everything you see is an illusion
 
Well...Hi there :)
I'm new, and I decided to grace this topic with my first post...

Melancholy
Melancholy in the air
Thoughts flying by
As teardrops from the sky
Too fragile to catch
Whither as soon as you touch them
Death and life
Joined together in this morose place
The flowers
The grass
The trees
And even the humans captured within
They all die
Even though at the same time
They get stronger
Their lives at full strength
When their life ends
Dramatic place
Full of whispers
Full of cries
Silent laughs hide in the bushes
Echoes of children twirl around
Yet the rain never seems to go
The sun never ceases to shine
Leaves as though old paperwork
Float on winds the park never felt
An empty space
Meant for something
But it never came
No
It never came


Grey
I stand on the docks of my mind
Saying goodbye to someone I never met
Feeling sad and left alone
I can see the figure on an imaginary boat
Waving, smiling, kind of happy
Still don’t know who you are
Strange, joyful reflection of mine
I watch as the grey waves cover you
Feel a twinge of guilt
Because I’m the one to let you go
Sometime soon I will collect the pieces of you
Here, on my rocky beaches
Small body battered and broken
Nothing left of the small figure
Waving, smiling
At least you were happy
I sigh
There goes the last part of me
I turn around
Now there’s nothing left but grey shades
I disappear in the nowheres of my mind
 
Hi Scarlet,

Welcome and nice poems!
Here's one of mine:

Dear loved ones...
------------------

I heard someone died today
Didn’t know what to do
Or even what to say
I just looked at all their faces
And saw the joy in life slip away

They go and look
For one last time
Trying to see if it’s real
Or that it’s just a bad dream
Hoping that what is, is not what it seems

What has happened to my joy?
Guess it died long ago
When I saw him lying there
That’s why I won’t look
Cause I’m afraid to die some more....
 
Shattered
----------

Helpless in your arms
Impossible to stay
Please forgive me
Never wanted it this way

I try to touch your lovely face
You turn away and cry
Questions leaping from your eyes

Why couldn’t you just turn away and run
As you should’ve then
When you had the chance

I only bring pain to those I know
With my words I bring dreams
Only to shatter them later...
 
Nice poems!
I wrote more than fifty poems, but not in English...
Here is one I wrote in English some time ago..I'm not so satisfied with it, but anyways...

An aspen-tree deprived of its foliage
I lost you even before knowing you
The veil of mourning I wear
On my widowed soul
In solitude I dwell
My tower high, untouchable.
Dim light over the hill
Magic sounds of crystal whispers
Come from far away.
I can see all the people
Dancing when the day breaks.
I can’t belong
My prison, my shelter
Forbidden gates beyond.
To taint my spirit
My fear.
I drink shadows of twilight.
The gore of my slain dreams
Stains the floor
Black with flies.
 
China Crisis

I feel like Im lost in China
I feel like Im lost in China
I feel like Im lost in China
But Ive never been there
Ive never been there

From the valleys and the coalmines close to home
Tainted by the reality Im so alone
My little funhouse, my sister is distant
Get on well with Gran

Deep in the forest not far from home
Tainted by the thoughtlessness of one, just one
My little funhouse, my petal, my torment
Get on better with nature and things

Im lost in Wales
And this is where I will die
