poems and poetic thoughts....

False Ideas:

Soul mates, born to bind
Soul mates, born to meet
Lovers, made to be
Walks away, drifts away
Time is evil, a crook
Kills love, kills innocence
Years pass by, soul mates reunite
Love rebirths, time is beaten
Love, exists to overcome

 

Great work essi and sonali. Keep 'em coming.

 

Misty Mirror

A dark scrawny face stared at me.
Scathed by sins, burdened by crimes,
paralyzed by fear, wrinkled by age,
staring at me with wondrous gaze.

The face had no sorrow, only shame,
having played life like a game.
All pleasures once belonged to the face,
but was only left with utter disgrace.

I saw repentance in its eyes,
and that couldn’t be hidden by disguise.
It wanted to live life all over again,
but had nothing left but pain.

The mist began to clear
out of my mind’s mirror.
Realization was like thunder in the sky.
I fell to my knees, and began to cry.

 

great job maverick

:thompsup:

 

thnx sonali, glad u liked it.

 

Nice one... I love the first stanza...

An Uneasy Night

A wail I heard unto the night
Thunderous shriek, a chilling bite
Whose doom is it, I wonder here
"Not mine, nor thine, oh husband dear
Sleep now tight and be not thee so afraid
Some things at night art better left unsaid.
Lest evil come unbidden from the evil woods
Lest evil come and taint all those that once were good."
And yet I wonder as I count my sheep
It might be a newborn babe's gentle weep
And yet I know I am but mistaken
In my guilty thoughts I am still unshaken
The stranger - he comes, he draws ever nearer
To me, a pawn, a mere standard bearer.
The dawn I greet with my bloodshot eyes
The day, she greets me to my own demise.

 

Amazing poems:shock: If only i could write half as well.....................

 

Well... unless u write, u wont get better.

Thanks venus, how about contributing yourself?

 

Good job essi, but one thing. Lest should always be followed by "should". Apart from that its very good, like all of ur other stuff.

 

Well, I usually throw grammar out of the window while writing a poem... I just don't bother... But i'll keep in mind... thanks..

 

Here's another one...

Lost Faith

I have lost my faith,
spewing hatred outta every breath,
a crusader for a cause,
murdering everyone who’s not one of us.

Kill the man, rape the woman,
don’t spare anyone.
Maybe I’ll repent later,
contemplating this senseless massacre.

I have lost my faith,
spewing hatred outta every breath,
My mind is not my own,
compassion to me is so unknown.

We wanted to create heaven,
but we created hell instead,
Houses and pyres burning,
oh, what price have I paid ?

There, I saw a child in the ruins,
the blood on its face washed by tears.
I couldn’t help but try,
I knew I’d break down and cry.

Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!
screamed the child’s eyes.
The only thing I had to do,
the only thing I could do
was turn back and go home.

 

Nice... sounds more like a heavy metal song's lyrics...

 

Good job maveric! I liked it.

Hey, one thing mods. Do we still have to post our lyrics in this thread? Can't we make individual threads in the forum? Easier to browse that way.And that would also make the forum look much more complete.

 

We were just about to make the announcement, tejas... This thread is closed, and until further notice please post individual threads for your poems.
