Poetry

i loved that "on the toilet i sit"-poem. what a delightful a piece of art:D
@vultureculture: well i never REALLY tried writing in german, BECAUSE it is my mothertongue. german tends to sounding very pathetic...
@malveaux: yep. that brown thingie is me. Why do you ask?
 
@Terria: Well, just out of curiosity ;).

@VultureCulture: I find it difficult to express myself in Italian, when I write poetry. It's an extremely rich language, and you have to master it very well to write decent poetry.
Not that I think that my english poetry is anything particular, but I find it easier to use that language. It's very melodic.
 
Reddish

Wandering under the stars
Enraptured by the sky
Absentmindedly roaming on
indifferent going astray
But suddenly I realize
That my horizon darkens
A reddish tint imbues my eyes
And embarrassed I harken

A red shimmering cloud appears
And just as I it wanders
Blackening my earth with its tears
Tearing the ground asunder
The cloud now dances cross my skies
Its sight just leaves me paralized
Thus gazing at the cloud I see
That its shadow’s imbrueing me

I was waiting for the sun
Instead this cloud has risen
Awaken now I try to run
Alas my sight does misten
The throat rapidly fills with blood
That’s pouring forth in a red flood
Hailstones perforate my neck
While the red sun shines on my back

this was my first attempt at writing anything and it's oh so pathetically written (and embarassed i HARKEN!!! my god... .:tickled: ) but i had just become fifteen so i don't give a fuck how bad it is cause i am not responsible :)

@malveaux: but as i am in the dark i can see the light. nice one ;)
 
Thank you, Terria :).
Lol, if I had to pick up my favorite among your poems, I wouldn't be able to choose, they're all splendid, included that last one!

*Ahem*

Like shrouds of brittling light,
Like shards of shimmering glass,
Like stars that show the path
My feelings wander in the air.
A feeble breeze’s enough to scatter
My senses into the night.
Used to call my anchor the love I felt,
I couldn’t see it deep into my heart:
This path is made with the sand of my time,
I can’t see it’s end in the dark, still
I can hear the sound of a waterfall,
Oblivious of where it comes from.

That's one of my first effort at writing poetry in english...

Dispersed, immersed like a molecule
among a dozen leaves, lost and stolen
in a world that had become indifferent to me.
I feel the waterfall, I smell its vibrant splash
upon the hardest things.
I am the air that wanders,
I am the one who had been shattered a thousand fold
upon a dirty floor, the forgotten floor
upon which I had taken the time to reflect up to you
what stars I suffered and held within me.
You're oblivious, but I've begged you to listen,
Now I drift towards a marked place on the horizon,
where I might become a permanent fixture.
 
Deep

deep
beneath
I hide

descend
downwards
submerge

Into the innermost
Cause I am too weak for them tempests bleak
Up above

torn
bent
broken

I’m gone and so is the world
At least it’s peaceful down here
No one to need and so there’s nothing to feel
Nothing

This is my refuge this is my shelter and I will never leave
Cause down here I’m in peace
No one not to talk to and no one to bother and no one to need
there’s nothing to feel

away
dissolve
release

be gone
stumble
falter

still there’s a yearning for the
surface above but there’s not enough
hope in me

this is my retreat this is my sanctuary
my kingdom underneath
and although I would need the warmth of another
I know I’ll never leave
I’m afraid that I’m to weak


to return to the depressing stuff. it's not too easy to write this depressive blabla without becoming pathetic (like in there's not enough hope in me *cry*) but still it's a wonderful way of letting it out, especially so if you sing these words in front of a watching crowd... yehaaaaaaa
btw, welcome evil! we are (VEEERY slowly) getting more and more. nice :)
 
Cardinal Sin

Stained by your colors
Painting pictures of you in my mind
Counting nocturnal hours
Ardent desire red light in my eyes

Born in to darkness
Never able to see the light
The sinful caress of the dawn
Forever exults ethereal might

This obscene embrace of beauty
Like a cold chill down my spine
Your blood devours the ink on my paper
I am a hollow shape in the dark empty of life

I mourn your tears
I mourn my madness
I mourn the paleness of your skin
I mourn the pulsing veins behind your veil of sadness
As I commit the Cardinal Sin

You are my shrine of pain
I visit every night
You are the poison in my veins
I can not live without

The night closes down on me like a cage
Inside the beast awakes full of rage
My teeth pierce your skin
I know that I am wrong
My weakness is that I am so strong
 
Cold over me
Moving shadows,
Just other twisted shades,
Fine ashes cover all,
A mist of needles.
Let those ghosts dance
As if that’s all the life left
Silken leaves fall burnt
Like in autumn,
And the spider’s web
Like a curtain falls
Where there’s no after,
Deeply forgotten,
Time forever still
Here in the unending dusk
Of this place in my soul.
 
Cool thread - why dint i think of it?!:err:

@terria -i love ur poems
@trou-peur - nice ode to shitting - and i'll be more than grateful if u could have a go at translating my poems to french - ma francais c'est tres merde!! english is so bland...

having said that... here goes......

Corriders of Angels in this new place that has let me breathe and forget my ills and loneliness

Angels lazing around me now
Looking for a soul to hold
Warm lips to caress their icy own
And frivolus in their games
Angels swathed in sunlight
And their touch could heal a thousand wounds

But all this is too good for me
I remember my hurt, and in part the cause,
To have been blinded and taught never to trust an Angel

ok heres another one i just saw in my book, i wrote it last this time last year - so its kinda appropriate...


It came to that time of year again,
When it comes to remembering the birth of that son,
In our minds,
Maybe he was never born at all
It did not snow that night and yet it feels so special somehow,
Like it does right now.
A sheerness coating everything,
All the world's decay,
Sent down from Heaven.
And it sparkles against all the hurt of me,
That's all still here, in here somewhere. Somehow.
Temporarily forgotten.
And as flakes fall down,
In spells of Heavenly dancing,
Angel dust, scattered.
I am lying here wondering,
Will it all be gone by sunrise?
Vanished.
Forsake me and only be with me as a memory?
Like so many other things.
If you look and listen closely,
You could feel the Angels near above,
Marvelling at the Earth with its Heavenly guise.
And I wonder if my Angel saviour has been sent down in this graceful spectacle,
The snow to cushion his landing,
So to come to me and save ME from falling.
Anymore.
To come to me in my dreams or perhaps maybe, just maybe,
In this waking world of muted nightmares

Finis Mundi

Goodbye
You sad and beautiful something
the feast is over now
and all the guests are forced to leave
but I can’t help smiling
cause I know that this is not the end

But a joyous masquerade
Like a wonderful dream
It seemed to me
It’s over now
Everything’s gone
So is everyone

for an instant only it seemed to me
as if the world had already died
but then I felt, weak and somewhat far away
a little motion left
some movements of air

i turn my back to your world
and crying like a child i drift away
i dance the world away
among my dragons weeping still
but happy

There’s a new world waiting for me
Strange but beautiful
Waiting to be discovered
to brilliantly shine

a new world to get lost in and something else to yearn for
something else to feel, something else to strive for
a new world waiting for me and something else to die for

goodbye


this one is sort of in progress but who cares (well, i do but i don't give a fuck)
@grandeurofmelancholy: thanks. *blush*
@malveaux: as i said, peu á peu we are expanding our business. which is wonderful to see. life sucks today. but i love you all.

''The Black Rose

A drop is hanging from a petal

The rain is pouring down
And the rose withers in sorrow
Washing away it's life
Cleansing itself for the sadness

The red rose is turning black


A tear is falling from a petal

The drops are becoming a burden
And the petals are yielding
Bending down for what awaits
Sinking towards the ground

The black rose is turning to dust ''
 
she has been here for almost two years
the dead flower
she dances, barely audible
when the wind reaches through the opened window
currents of air, tender ghostly fingers
a partner for her dance

the dead flower
has turned a deep violet
and her hands are pale, slightly yellow
and brittle to the touch
thus only the sylphs
can carress her

the dead flower
is a piece of memory
an entry in some unwritten diary
the faint echo of the last beat
of a long since silent heart

the dead flower
is a piece of prophecy
foretelling a future past
in autumn's colours
and on dustcolured semptember mornings
she is singing a dirge

the dead flower
is all that is left of that day
and as she slowly disapears
as all things of beauty do
that day will fade as well....
 
i LOVE this thread. makes me smile happily a lot every time i see it. grrrrrr. perhaps this will be the third (THE THIRD) page of it, would be great if this all went on and on...


Renew Anew


A truce, peace
Something to lay down in
Hope, or silence
Something to cling on to
React, revile
Recovering internally
Restrict, remind
Resting...

My skin may feel the cracks again
I won’t believe
The rents beneath my feet they speak to me
Of ruptures past and such to come
I won’t believe in them
i will deny

I’m glad to know that my eyes lie to me constantly
I won’t believe them

It’s not that i have stopped the bleeding
I just took the stream and painted it in colours of beauty

Any burden unbearable
I will deny
No limbs, no motion left
I will deny
My path a million times divided
And still I will deny
I will go on
I will deny it all
Everything and everyone
deny

who cares about the truth in a lie - if it bears solace
why should i mind the faintness of my smile – if it creates another one

come my dragons
let‘s dance this world away
 
they have spat on me
torn flesh from my bones
and light from my soul
all out of love
and beauty in dreams of a distant savior
have I recalled these days in serenity?

I offer blood to stones of guilt
and reap their harvest
from this soil of mine
NOTHING SHALL STAND
ALL BROUGHT TO END
and these things too will bloom
will rise in colours bold
draped in golden shine
when summer comes
be tranquill child, be brave

none is mine as much as pain is
and I am not your eye
lest it burns in anger
forgiveness is a weakness that I cannot afford
and onto doom shall they be delivered
pain alone can grow from pain
and pain on pain on pain is piled
in a haven of souls grown cold
hide the hurt in a heart so wild

I linger not
and from the ashes I burst
a flame long kindled
on fiery wings, a phoenix to the sky
to take and leave no dream alive
and saturate with blood
their mansions in the sun
these too are like me
are too alike to know
and notice they are merely children
tiny specs of colour in the rain......

they fade to soon
innocence in genocide
I am their doom
flowers in the autumn sun
I'll tear their petals off
I love them as I love my life
I hate them as they hate my life
I know my place among them
I have no place among them
their spirits are needed too
spirits they have none
above them I am not
I must be great and full of anger
and yet not be as they are
I am what they have made of me
and thus non the better
I must be a hero!
I must be a hero!


this poem is subject to change without notice.
 
Time is a cold petal
Motionless
In an unending dance
Across the freezed air.
It falls, and falls, and falls





I'm happy to know that you're enjoying this thread. I wasn't expecting so much enthusiasm. I feel really honored...
 
HEY! we can't let this wonderful thread disappear! i see it as my duty to keep it up there for at least some weeks so POST YOUR WORKS GODDAMMIT!!! :D i know, i know, it takes time to write it, i am also already searching for older stuff i put anywhere in my desk, but we mustn't let it die.


Sentient

You didnt even notice
Did you?
Nevermind
It doesn’t matter
Cause you don’t understand

With every day and every taken breath
I‘ll bow my back for you
Bending it until it breaks
it simply doesn’t matter

For every sunbeam i receive
I want to thank you with another day
Another week
Another life

But with every lie
With every smile i cannot see
With every neglecting me
With every little pain
I want to leave you dying
I want to see you starve
Until you recognize me again

It doesn‘t matter
And it never will
This fire never scorched you
So you can’t understand

Get gone
:mad:
