and he screamed from the bottom of the sea
god let me live
the people of the city are drowneding in sin
and i rose above the masses and i tapped into the power stream
the rocks became radio trees
kelly the metrohead scott knot and me
the sun the son
the one the one
my center of gravity is off by one degree

[Tar-Ancalime]

I hated him,
but I didn't know why.
He was different,
my mommy told me so.
She said that men like him,
didn't belong with us,
in our society.
At a young age,
i was taught,
to hate and reject,
but never understand.
Then the time came,
when schools joined,
and races intermixed,
Hate and violence reigned supreme,
understanding was never achieved.
Until one day the titans came,
the 1971 team,
a team that thrived on pefection,
a team that taught us understanding.
Ever since that fateful team,
i've never hated another man,
I've always tried to understand.

it's not that good, is it?

[7doubles]

well i tripped to sin city on a mountain laural dream
gaining power from the flower and the power plants
vissions turn to nightmares turn to lucid dreams
you got to go with the flow or go down with the undertow
the wave is hi, so high
kiss the sky
wave good bye
good buy

independent, truly free
witnes glory
inner peace

the warmth will set you free
you're swimming in a violin
floating on the wind.......breeze

i am a soul in exile
i wander through the worlds
seeking a place among the people
but i am a soul in exile
doomed to forever wander
without friend companion or home
homeless in my exile
companionless in my quest
friendless in my search
it is my blessing and my curse
i am a soul in exile
lost in my torment


Ka la namae Lumina, ka la dorie Velegra.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Dew drops fall on the summer grass,
a foggy haze is covering the land.
and shells rip across a battle torn land.
Great fir trees stand proud,
the brook nearby sings a clear, soft song,
and men fight each other to death in defense of their fatherland.
Queen Anne's lace and daisies face an amber colored sun,
butterflies float on the gentle breeze,
and smoke bombs suffocate any man who breathes.
Carnage and blood,
savegry and gore,
can kill a man's life,
but cannot destroy the goodness of nature.

Lying Elsewhere

I think I'll sleep
or maybe no
I'm cold, but warmth lies elsewhere
In sleep I lie
but comfort, no
The pleasure, it betrayed me
Life, it twist
Some good, Some bad
Take heart, you luck will find you.
In the End
The good does come
And rest, it will come finally.

*claps* Wonderful, Elb! Very powerful, in my opinion. I like it :)

[Elbereth]

My one regret

...I thought I saw the glimmer
of something in your eyes...
...I thought I felt the passion
I saw through the games and lies...
...I felt your soul and saw the man
I wanted to be with...
...Never really knowing if you
felt the same within...

...Beyond all the fears and all my doubts
I let you in my heart...
...I gave you all my hopes, my soul
I gave you my most sacred trust...

...I should have seen it coming
I should have known you'd break my heart...
...I should have kept you far away
I should have known right from the start...
...You were not the one for me
You were not the man I dreamed to be with...
...But your faults were things
I thought I could forgive...

...Now I'm left lonely
You left me empty wanting more...
...Lost in a maze of unrequited love
A battered, hardened core...
...Carrying no resembelance
to the girl I used to be...
...Forever vanished in memories lost
of love naivety.

keep it
give it
take it
leave it
mold it
hold it
crush it
or controll it

the power dances around us
trails of light flow within
the energy wave rises
reality sets in

can you smell the burning would
the end can be mistunderstood

the mystery and the science are all around us
they're crying death and life in pain
the voices of the people are getting stronger
growing, to one, chant, join, to one thought

i am
the people
i am
the power
togather as one we shall rise to glory
togather we are power
and as our rythem flowes like streams into a great river
so shall the streets flood with man
upheavle
up evil

eternal darkness comforts me
endless night is my plee
join us now hear our cry
Ka la namae Lumina,
Ka la dorie Velegra
come with us destroy the Light,
come with us save the Night

[Tar-Ancalime]

My future uncertian,
my past unknown,
my soul so confused,
But within all the tiresome confusion one thing i know,
my heart soley belongs to you.

I am doomed to wander,
the earth forever,
cursed by the god's,
to never stop walking.
But to think of you is a glimpse of heaven,
and leaving you was hell.

I left you,
i wanted freedom,
so lost i am now,
without your bondage.
Now i've lost you,
I cannot find you any loner.

I am wounded,
hurt and very much afraid,
I long for you but you i cannot find

[ReadWryt]

Through the years
I've passed the test of time
the chaos and the rhyme have all but gone.

And so it seems
the summer turns to fall
the season's silent call to move along.

In my books
the flowers I have pressed
were only of the best that I could spy.

Like friends remembered
the petals stain each page
in memory of the age that they defy.

I recall your faces
friends of days gone by
I'm glad we never really said goodbye.
And though it's true
we may never meet again
my love can never end
the feelings that my heart cannot deny

And so I write
what I could not say before
whatever be in store
I know we never really say
Goodbye.

For Toby Halfler 1947-2002

little bird flying high, flying free
little dove of peace and love, come with me come with me
join in a new fomation
reasemble consentraition
fool

i guess that's what's wrong
with my sole

to tranquiliz my ghost
in order to restrain
all i loath

forgive me
i love you
but i don't love me

life is the true measure of time

The Unforgiving Natural Habitat

I sat beside a big old stone
to see the sea's wide net
a couple seconds later
both the stone and I were wet

I walked among the forest eaves
to dry my soaking clothes
But how that branch fell on my head
I think I'll never know

Grumbling, off to get some peace
I slinked into a cave
There was no way I might have known
the bears had had a rave

Now fuming, wet and and much in pain
I limped towards my house
I flinched at every little sound
then scampered like a mouse

But now, surrounded by four walls
and feeling very snug
I sigh and do not realize
the warthog on the rug

[7doubles]

here comes the hour
with all its might and glory
the fianal chapter
end of story

closed, calm, fealing strong
grow, know, let it go
unleash the fear and missery
set your anger free

or......die i i i i i. .....die

when we fist met, i knew i had to have you
and i still feel the same, i'm stuck on you

i'm stuck on you, you're stuck on me
let's come togather and scream
let's come togather
let's come togather
and scream.........
would you, would you, please
you know you want to want me

i think what i love in you is what i hate in me
only, time will tell
what will or will not be
but when you're stuck on love
it's like being hooked on a drug

[Tar-Ancalime]

The tragedy of Mr. Gatsby,
is a love story,
with the saddest ending.
A man obsessed with a woman,
who was so far away.
A man who became wealthy,
to win the womans heart.
He risked his reputation,
already tainted with rumor.
So he could see the woman he loved,
in the merry summer months.

A woman he so loved,
a woman who he couldn't love,
for so long he waited to have this womans hand,
but alas when he had the chance,
the relationship was pronounced impossible.

Then he passed away,
by a man shaken with loss and terror,
shot him in his pool.

We mourn him now today,
the man who saw no impossibilities,
the greatest man,
named mr. Gatsby

[Tar-Ancalime]

Screaming,
shouting,
to be heard,
above the cries,
of the common mob.
Dominating,
striving,
to rule the earth,
and make a mark on society.
Sinking,
drowning,
in the midst of chaos,
in the midst of daily life

[Tar-Ancalime]

The tension is building,
the waters are rising,
I feel war is near begining.
We stare into space,
ignoring the facts,
to hold on to our relationship,
to hold on to that last strand of barbed wire.
The hatred is growing,
it has been for weeks,
denying is illogical,
admiting will bring pain.

[7doubles]

rock and roll thats the wave babe,
lose control with rock and roll
roll with the punches, stick to your ground
don't let the leaches drag you down
don't let emotions push you around
flow with the movement, of the sound

the wave is moving on
we're lost beneath the wave
lost beneath
lost beneath
drownding in decay

i'm swimming on the rim of sin
and i feal, ok
i feal ok

[Tar-Ancalime]

Meet me for this one last time,
by the shore,
on the cliff walk.
There we'll stroll along the path,
staring at the pristine night sea.
Then we'll look for shells near the shore,
under the moonlight sky.
enchantingly we'll meander along,
breathing the fresh sea air.
So please i beg,
meet me there,
so i'll remember you when i'm gone
and far away from here.
Before i leave this night of goodbyes,
you'll say that you love me and not to go west.
You'll look at me with eyes so pleading,
begging me to stay.
I'll stare at your eyes,
and mine will tear.
Than i'll fall in your embrace,
for hours i'll stand,
leaning on your chest.
Then the dawn will come,
We would've fallen asleep
lying on the beach,
wrapped in eachothers embrace.
Before i depart you kiss me,
a kiss so breathtaking i almost faint.
I look at you and i'll cry and give you a goodbye kiss
and i'll walk away and not try to look back.
But you didn't come,
and i'm long gone

[7doubles]

well thats the damnest ting i ever seen
she walks on the sand like golden beams
her hair flows freer the sea
i just hope she comes to me
we'll run in the sun
but only if she choses i'm the one
so i'll just meet her half way as she comes
and maby strike up, a conversation

[Tar-Ancalime]

I hold to thee,
an oath,
my promise,
to one day return.
And fall in love with you again.
I just need some space right now,
i really need to breathe.
your suffocating grip is far too tight for me.
what you want is so demanding,
what you want i cannot give.
I need to see the world,
and gain my very breath back

[7doubles]

hot dog, the broom whip
toe to puddle, swoon
flash back pons, elament cocoon
fillaments fiberous, flexable envierment
diabolic ballence, attention focus direct

[Lantarion]

7doubles, you didn't answer me before: do you write lyrics for songs, or do you just listen to the radio too much? :)
How do you like this, is the rhyming OK? Please tell me, I'd like some feedback. Otherwise I won't know if my poetry stinks, or if I'm getting better. :)

Peace and Quiet
The hooves that beat upon my path
display my road, its aftermath
With panicked mind but steadfast heart
I head straight on, accept my part

The clouds upon my restless mind
gnaw silently on all they find
I try my best to just ignore
the growing madness I abhor

I used to be a humble man
who knew just where his morals stand
But then I saw reality
and saw what no one else could see

And now I seek for solaced thought
that might be far too dearly bought
But still no price can be too high
for sanity, and peace of mind

[Tar-Ancalime]

ponty your poems always rock!!!

[Tar-Ancalime]

drifting through time,
on a golden dragon,
flying unto the days of old.
Seeing the sights
i've so longed to see,
meeting the people,
seldom seen.

[7doubles]

i am a step above you
i'm comeing down to love you
can you hear the sound
i'm falling to the ground
the earth, my birth, i'm bound elaments of lite and sound

i lost it

pont, yes most are or will become lyrics i have to steal from my own work to refine it so it gets repetative but perfection knows no pain, some day some day. hold on. yes your song was near perfect except in lyngth. dont worry, i forgot the end of this song while i was writing it and it was great! i sang it but forgot 80% of it before i wrote it chances are it's lost forever in the time pool. but ya your song was is a hit
:p

[Elbereth]

A Heart Screams Out

There is no hope
where I must lie
Beneath this heavy load

My heart is heavy
My soul's resigned
So many miles left untold

In sleep, no peace
Beneath these dreams
A heart screams out...no more!

And all is silence
Lost in our time
But peace escapes us all...

[Tar-Ancalime]

my home is here,
with you alone,
among your papers and books,
and with your handsome face.
My heart belongs here with yours,
dwelling in exquistite tenderness,
underneath a starry sky,
content with life as it is.
Seeing you helps faith arise,
within my soul so troubled,
i am showed the grace i lost in my troubled youth,
and gained when i came to reside with your angelic face

[Lorien]

Hey all. Moi first attempt at poetry! Just tell me what you all think.

UNTITLED

Oft into the starry night I seek
To look into the void so bleak
And the Heavens which we keep
The ultimate divinity where we meet.

Beyond the hold which keeps us sane
Dwell the ones who have no name
So in accepting the bestowed the pain
We all accept also the same.

Gazing in the starry empty sky
I wish to you I could fly
I'm in no position to vie
That is the empty void of mine.


P.S. If any of you can think of a good title for this poem please let me know.

[Lorien]

Here's another one.

Cries

Oh Mother, mother you've come back
Are you still the same?
'Oh Daughter, daughter the sun's lacked
You're called a different name.'

Oh Mother, mother hold me close
Until I say good night
Oh Mother, mother no one knows
About this deathly light.

'Oh Daughter, daughter I'll love you
For all forsaken days
Oh Daughter, daughter hug me too
By beauty I'm amazed.'

Oh Mother, mother don't go there
For you will ne'er return
Oh Mother, mother don't you stare
And then just let me burn.

'Oh Daughter, daughter heed me dear
For I am more than ash
Oh Daughter, daughter am I clear?
Please do not feel abashed.'

Oh Mother, mother save me now
Before I fall too deep
Oh Mother, mother tell me how
I can avoid this sleep.

'Oh Daughter, daughter how can I
When I fall deep myself?
Oh Daughter, daughter I will try
You tiny, little elf.'

Oh Mother, mother make me new
For I cannot carve stone
Oh Mother, mother tell me true
You won't leave me alone.

'Oh Daughter, daughter stay with me
Do not go far away
Oh Daughter, daughter believe me
You're the one who must stay.'

Oh Mother, mother you're mine now
But life you were not shown.
'Oh Daughter, daughter you'll allow
Only your mind has grown.'

[Tar-Ancalime]

"You're love is all i need"

I don't need your money,
nor your lavish gifts,
all i need is you,
no more no less.
If you give me all the jewels in the crown,
I could care much less,
as long as i have you with me,
there is nothing for me to regret.
So give me what i need,
give me your love,
and give me yourself.
I don't need you to travel the world,
to impress me with your means and bravery,
all I need to see,
is to see you respecting me,
and loving me so tenderly

[Smokey]

I wrote this for a writing class.

I won't write a poem I refuse
Wouldn't even know the words to use
Ooops...Never mind.

That was it.

[Tar-Ancalime]

It’s been days since I’ve gone,
Weary days and nights so long,
You were lost and alone,
And I was wrong to leave you hanging’,
You told me I’d regret,
The minute I stepped outside that door,
And you were right,
Oh you were right.

Chorus:
If you call me,
I will come to you,
For I know,
That I do love you,
If you are lost just simply yell my name and I’ll be there for you,
I will be there for you always

Underneath starless skies,
I’ll wait my time,
To hear your sweet voice,
To call me home.
When I hear that serenade,
I’ll come sprinting through the land,
Just to see your sweet face.
And live happily in the end.

You may stumble through the darkest nights,
You may fall from the grace of light,
But I will raise you up,
Above the bluebirds,
Soaring high,
I will lift your heartbroken soul,
Lift it up,
All you have to do is call my name.

Chorus

If you call me,
Oh if you call me,
I will come to,
I will come to me-et you,
For I know,
Oh yes I truly know,
When you get lost,
If you ever get lost,
Just call my name,
And I guarantee
I will run to you,
Oh I will be there for you.
Always for you

Chorus (but slower)

[Lantarion]

Tar, great stuff!
And BS, welcome to the forum; great stuff from you too, I like the way you rhyme. It's probably because it's a lot like my own. :p Just kidding. Welcome anyway.

Guidelines of Zen
Throw your sword upon the ground
feel your heart so soundly pound
Do not fight your growing might
for now your powers will ignite

Masters of the humble art
do not need a tool to start
Use your palms, your arms, your feet
and taste the juice of light so sweet

Trusting one's philosophy
is the path to mastery
Do not feel the solid world
remember all your might unfurled

Let your instincts bind your thoughts
think not, till the battle's fought
When you stand beneath the sky
then hear your greed and pride both die

[Lorien]

Is BS me Pontifex? And is it my overextended imagination or does *everyone* seem know about the SB/BS thing?

UNTITLED

Running to lose life,
Running to cry;
Flying over the seas,
Flying under the stars;
Burning of vanity,
Burning of pain;
Love could you save me
Again?

Cursing the past full of dust,
Cursing the endless world;
Hope is not there anymore,
Hope is destroyed;
You run to escape trial,
You run in vain;
Love could I trust you
Again?

Against the sand I lay,
Against the dark sun;
Looking at the hourglass,
Looking into the past;
Crying for your destiny's denial,
Crying for death;
Love could you kill me
For good,
Not again?

P.S. I really need to get some titles for them don't I?

[Tar-Ancalime]

I don't think it's neccseary for titles

[Luna]

the sunset melts into twilight
that mellow gold fading to blue

and in my head thoughts far and away
recall the sweetness of youth.

in the dimness of those days
I can almost remember
how it felt to be free

and to run through the tall grass
with the wind at my feet
the sound of my own heartbeat
like a song in my ears

to run untouched by the cool weight
of years like winter's shadow
over the heart....
to run through the honey gold
of summer's warmth....

I recall these memories
as twilight at last fades,
and carry them with me
into the night.

[Tar-Ancalime]

This house is haunted,
with phantoms and ghosts,
phantoms and ghosts of you.

Your somber song is whispered throghout the white washed walls,
and blown through the graceful lace curtains,
your presence is ever-vigilant to haunt my being.

vodoo does not scare you away,
cause i tried it and I still feel your presence,
a priest cannot evict your devilish cry,
though god may be on his side.
Like the plauge,
you do not leave

[arisen pheonix]

a figure lurking in shadow
lips mumble something on a wind
daemon
he haunts dreams and stalks nightmares
he brings pain and anguish
daemon
if my freind is there then i do not fear
he will not let him near
daemon
his wich scouts the day planting dreams
and burnig joy away


daemon the demon
by me

wat u think? has he been in your nightmares?

[Lantarion]

As I lay dying here
upon the endless burning sand
Beside me all my dreams and hopes
shattered by the winds of fate

As I lay dying here
upon the cold, hard stone
Beside me all my fears and doubts
all washed away by storm

As I lay dying here
upon the gnawing snow
All my thoughts and great ideas
strewn on the ground by frost

As I lay dying here
awaiting destiny
I see all of my shattered mind
and smile with life's last utterance

[Tar-Ancalime]

Lies tear us brutally apart,
sending us to our own Hell,
We tear into eachothers flesh,
a statement of a relationship gone bad.

Our spilled blood,
equal on both sides,
is witness to our spewed hatred.
From dirty tricks to awful fights.

But after the smoke has cleared,
the blood is washed from the walls,
we act like humans again,
and talk out our many differences

[arisen pheonix]

i once had a dream
of majesty and power
i thought of it hour after hour
the years go by
here i am today
a shadow haunted by a dream
a dream that became a night mare
a night mare tha became a torture
a torture that made tme wat i am
i am a monster
the creature of the dream
and now that i am wat i am
all i hav to show for years of striving
is mauled flesh a tortured mind
a broken spirit and a forlorn soul

[Lorien]

17 Seconds

17 seconds of compassion
17 seconds of faith
17 seconds to remember love is the energy behind which all is created
17 seconds to remember all that is good
17 seconds of radiance
17 seconds to forget all your hurt and pain
17 seconds of peace
17 seconds to trust you again
17 seconds to send a prayer up
17 seconds is all you really need

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This one's more of a song rather than a poem but I thought I'd post it anyway.

i see it in your lonely eyes
they passion pay to stay
reeling in forgotten times
the ? eats away
a million years of certain fears
and i'm trembling at the touch
fighting word not not asking for
it overwhelms me, way too much

must i really love you?
must i really love you?
take the blame and cry the shame
must i really love you?
must i really love you?
take the blame and cry the shame

the matter with poison words
held a message next to me
emptiness plays the forgotten fool
lover missing thee
a million years of broken tears
and i'm trembling at the touch
of a forgotten man with crying plans
it overwhelms me, way too much

must i really love you?
must i really love you?
take the blame and cry the shame
must i really love you?
must i really love you?
take the blame and cry the shame

must i really love you?
must i really love you?
take the blame and cry the shame
must i really love you?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again more of a song than a poem.

candy came calling, candy came calling with love
candy came calling, candy came calling with love

so bring your troubles and your next of kin
bring your trinkets and the box they're in
bring some secrets and a vinegar wine
bring your mississippi mind

when candy comes calling, candy comes calling for love
when candy comes calling, candy comes calling so in love

so bring your pistols and a buckshot horse
bring your vandals and a history course
bring some enamel and a sawed-off smile
bring your tulips and your flowers
chrysanthemums and guile

when candy comes calling for love
when candy comes calling so in love

say it ain't so kid, say it ain't so
no matter what you've done, kid
it's everyone you know
stealing in the shadows

so bring your sanskrit and a hounddog hell
leave your bell
forget your pride and a mystery tale
just bring a piece of luck
and raise a loving cup

when candy comes calling for love
when candy comes calling for love

when candy comes i'm alive

[Kementari]

Nice poems Lorien :)


This is a poem that Ulairi wanted me to post. If he never is unbanned, heres somthing we can remember him by.....

As soon as I logged on,
On that wonderful day,
My breathed seemed to have gone,
As it had been taken away.

I started to post,
And after a time,
I seemed to always like to boast,
Committing the crime.

The crime of pride,
Is not slowly paced,
And I should have come to hide,
As my name became defaced.

Then the realization came to me,
After I had been banned that drear day,
That I had just been able to see,
What I had just thrown away.

I should’ve been more sensible,
And I realized that human decency was more than an act,
It was a principle,
And that was sure fact.

I would like to apologize,
To all those I’ve hurt,
And again I apologize,
If the sincerity of this apology seems somewhat inert.

Ulairi.

[Adrastea]

Great Poem Ulairi!!


Emotions rushing inside of me
like a fast flowing river,
but then the river parts in two
Which way do you take,
the road of Love
or the road of loneliness

[Tar-Ancalime]

Behold these conspirators three,
most proudly their daggers they bear,
soaked in blood of an ambitious man,
in a time so troubled by war and ominous decay.
Behold they cry,"Long live the Republic.",
to the mob on the via sacra,
tragic pride in a system long since decayed,
to honor tradition they commited this act,
to save a long dead democracy.
Behold these conspirators Three,
Brutus, Cassius, and Casca,
who proudly bore their bloodstained daggers,
into Caesars Chest.

Behold Marcus Antonious,
His noble tounge speaking so eloquently,
close friend of Caesars,
He tells us he comes to bury the great Caesar, not to praise him.
He tells us the men who killed his good friend are all honorable men.
Behold Marcus Antonius,
calling the masses,
standing by the funeral pyre,
burning a bright orange red

[niteshade]

Actually come to think of it... Its a really short piece that almost counts as a prose....

His breath is an icy fatal blast. he is never stayed by a kind word or hand. Violance and malice are as brothers.
Yet for all his pomp and all his grace he is never allowed to do as he would. he must ever reap his sorrowfull bounty. We are the grain, and we demand harvest. Death can never be free.

[7doubles]

sometimes i get by
just sit back and enjoy the ride


sometimes it takes too long
othertimes its much too strong
living on the edge, till the pain is gone

so when i sing my songs
i don't care if i'm right or if i'm wrong
what can't kill me, only makes me strong

if i feel empty inside
i know when to stay and when to hide
when to run and when to fight

and i can show you why
it hurts so bad to say, goodbye
when no one hears, you cry

wouldn't it be nice
to never have to pay the price
and face your fears, just like Jesus Crist

"under core" [not finished]

[arisen pheonix]

when day turns into night and
night turns into shadow
when all is lost and none are left
i stand alone upon the cliff
looking into the endless sea of time
i see times of long forgotten happiness
and the all too vivid battles
times of broken dreams and unkept promises
times when the night was and the shadow
ran in fear in fear of us long ago
but we died in wars long ended
now we are shadow now we kill
we are shadows we are death and
we are coming

[Celebnaurwen]

Well, I used to be able to whip up a poem on the spot...see if time has rusted my wits. Here goes, I guess! :D
A great, majestic city
So proud, their banners flew
With love of peace and knowledge
The Numenor I knew.
Their days were bright and splendid
But darkness held no fear
For nights were deep and lovely
In that place I loved so dear.
Their children sang in gladness
In the streets, without a care
And I, like all the Eldar
Was always welcome there.
Their wealth and knowledge, boundless
They begrudged it not to share
With others of their kindred
Who wished to tarry there.
The kings in all their splendor
Were kindly, bold, and great
And not a man of Numenor
Would rant and rail at fate.
With reverance for the Valar
And love for the old ways
The city ever prospered
But oh, so short their days.
I will not speak of Sauron
Nor the greedy quest for gain
Nor of fire and ruin
Or the many that were slain.
I will not turn to that lament
Though all is sad, and true
But rather sing in longing
Of the Numenor I knew.

[Lantarion]

Shipwreck
Beneath the swirling waves there lies
the fear of seven hundred eyes
Just how they lost their mortal lives
the Sea-god only can disguise

[Tar-Ancalime]

pontifex, as always your poems rock...that one was superb!!

Longfully I look back,
at your face so sad,
I want to leave you,
my freedom's at stake,
I'd rather stay,
My happiness is in question.
But I told you i'd leave,
I can't turn back now,
you don't have to follow me,
I'd rather you not.

[Lorien]

Firewall

you ask me why
i'll tell you die
my head is full of lies
and i am beyond high

you don't know just what i'm waiting for
acid burns my skull as blind as snow
black oblivion drags me ever towards
i dream tomorrow till tomorrow is nevermore

voices tell me strike the match
and burn it all to hell
voices tell me i could watch
if i promise not to tell

you don't know just where i want to go
the cross won't save you from your fallen soul

drive slow motion firewall
candy apple fuse
emotions are unattached
as demons are amused

family spins the circle
nerves are growing cold
shotgun to the temple
nausea down below
no more talking backwards
or fists to the heart
black light tries to capture
one more superstar

no more lines to cross
no more lines i'm lost
no more lines i'm lost

you don't know just where i want to go
acid burns a hole right through my soul
black oblivion my long lost friend
lord forgive me for i have sinned

This is a song that I wrote.

Four Leaf Clover

i've tried turning you over and over
but you're never gonna be my four leaf clover

i've slept on it again and again
and i gotta tell you that you're just a has-been

i've made, i've made up my
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, made up my mind
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, made up my mind

i don't wanna see your smiling face
'cause you're comin' in last in the great love race

you can touch me, kiss me, do what you will
'cause i swallowed a handful of sleep-alone pills

i've made, i've made up my
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, made up my mind
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, made up my mind

take my hand and i'll show you the way
to the end of the light where you're going to stay
you're going to stay

there's a place in my heart and i want you to know
that it's empty and hollow, but i think you should go
yeah
i think you should go
and i was thinkin'

i've made, i've made up my
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, made up my mind
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, i've made up my
i've made, made up my mind

[7doubles]

i'm in so much pain
i got nohing left to gain
and i think i'm falling apart

from the top of my brain
to the bottom of my hart
yes i think i'm falling apart

sometimes you know you got to take it slow
sometimes it breaks your bones
and then at first when you think it can't get worst
thats when it all comes down

can you hear the deafening silence
does it owerwhelm your mind
does it make you want to scream, ya
or does make you want to cry

wave sweaping away
sweaping the day
sweaping decay
sweaping your mind
sweaping the time
sweaping up all, you lose or you find
sweaping the nite
sweaping the light
the wave sweaping up death is sweaping up life

i'm not apart of the wave
i'v never been one to hang with the in crowd
stay, stay away
revert to your virtues
now no one can hurt you, and make your father proud
proud
so proud
pride leads to violence
and screams turn to silence
so you can sleep comfortly void of reality
take, it away
there's no room for relegion in this world of science
no princepal stands up to time in defience
(energy forms at the base in a pateren
men are all just the mass of the atom)
don't break your faith
let you who've decided be just devided
to ballence out kindness from sin
give no more empathy on those who will hinder the, those who reside in the pit
"alone" [unfinished]

[arisen pheonix]

the hush of death
the echo of silent fear
the roar of silence
i have heard it all
and it laughs in my face
taking freinds and family
and leaving me
leaving me to rot
in despair and
watch them die

[7doubles]

oh misty
misty mountain
my true love calls to me
in the summer, in the forest
on the mountain, in the streets
misty mountain moonshine
misty mountain dreams
misty mountain music
for the misty mountain deep
you'll be lost and never found
inside a week
you'll grow old an join mountain
befor you reach the peak
the misty mountains can't be beat

Pontifex your last poem was really, really, really, really, great!
I loved it!

[Luna]

There was a time, when the world was new
the morning sun gently dried the grass of its dew
the night's breeze softly faded
through swirls of mist as waterfalls cascaded
the World was new, Eden lost and found
the air was sweet and life sprung unbidden
from an unspoiled ground
In this land so like a dream
a young Goddess walked, hair like ebony;
skin like cream
eyes of emerald fire, lips to shame the crimson
of the rose
animals bowed at her passing,
flowers sprang to bloom at her toes...
her song brought beauty everywhere
she brought magic, all that was good and fair.

but Time rent her song ,
Darkness stole into the world...right became wrong
shadows flitted the forests and they became savage
Man's feet set upon the earth, to spoil..raze..ravage
the Goddess began to fade away,
but she is not completely gone...
as the Nightbird sings...in its voice the echo of her song.
When morning breaks and the dew is warmed by the sun
through fields of lavender a young Goddess still runs.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Heaven is not a specific place,
found on a gigantic,galactic road map,
not is it a physical place,
that can be identified by landmarks,
it is a mental home, a refuge,
to protect you when your body dies,
for heaven is how we percieve it to be alone.

[7doubles]

the hevens of god are three
one base at hell burns free
terestrial tellestial cellestial life
one time
one trip to hell
one life
one word to spell
WHY
i don't know
i never claimbed to have all the answers
its a funny thing when you relise
no one here gets out alive
survive its a joke, from death you cant hide

hide
or fight
oh, no
i'm dieing
but at least i'm trying
oooo no
i'm peeken now
i'm freaking out
out above myself

[arisen pheonix]

a ring of death and fear
can you feel the end so near
to die today tomorrow or the next

[Luna]

let the Night come on.
let the moon rise
in the sky
and the creatures come forth.

Owl and Crow and Bat.
Mine the power to call them.
I wait, in the
silver smear of moonlight,
wait to see
the reflections of eyes
in the shadows.

A wolf's eyes...seem to see....
everywhere.
I speak,

"Garou! Come to me!"

and I kneel,
to embrace this creature

its breath,
its tongue,
its teeth....
at my neck.

It is not
my place to fear.

Oh for the love of pete. N.H. im not that dumb please dont give me that "higher then thou" reparte'. Obviously newbies who have no friends are looked down on when they give an opinion. Or maby its my abrasive additude. Well mabye if I where not considerd an omega wolf at the very bottom of the pack then I would not be this way. I must ahead of time apologise, but it really should'nt matter, no one will take any notice of this anyway. I really have to learn to keep my big mouth shut and stop offering opinions.

Spirits flowed freely,
in flooded speakeasy's,
women shed corsests,
killing conformity.
Mob violence raged,
in all US cities,
the music sped up,
to fit the day's youth.
Necking and petting,
were the customs of love,
dancing and drinking,
must-haves of courting.
Illeagally enjoying,
the outlawed brew,
in jazz halls and speakeasys,
In the thriving era of hightimes,
the 1920's

When the road you are trudging seems uphill
Whe funds are low and debts are high
Whe you want to smile but have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't quit

Once I did,
gaze unto the heavens,
to see the starlight skies,
and thier I saw a crooked star,
and wanted to go up and fix it.
First I climbed a ladder,
and used a pool net,
but that didn't work,
I needed to get a longer handle.
Then I tried to blow it into place,
by firing an automatic weapon,l
I just got a head ache.
Then I gave up
looked upon the heavens again,
and saw that star was straight

Alas, how did those sistes of the fates,
wind my destiny so tragically,

grows by another,
and dies with one too.

I found this poem. Very inspiring actually. By Patience Strong:

Happiness

Do not think that happiness resides in just what you possess
Seek that happiness within
And every morning will begin
With thoughts of joy and gratitude
Cultivate the attitude
That life is sweet and life is good
If God's great laws are understood
Do not say you cannot see
The glimpses of divinity
Behind the drab and commonplace
You feel the everlasting grace
But only with your inner sight
Can you percerve this hidden light
This aura, making dull things shine
With splendour from a source benign
In the crowds that throng the street
A radiant face you seldom meet
So ranked they are with lines of care
A sunny counterance is rare...
The world with all its sham and show
Can't tell you what you long to know
The key word that will heal and bless...
The secret of true happiness

[Tar-Ancalime]

One life to live,
one life alone,
in peace and prosperity,
happy at heart.
One life to love,
to enjoy every minute,
to be loved and in love,
to never look back.
One life to dream,
the oceans and moons,
in far away lands,
in dreams come alive.
One life to dance,
to the songs of rejoicing,
to voice that life is a joy,
and life is journey,
for granted one cannot take.
One life to be,
perfectly happy,
to love to be loved
to live without hurt or regret

Prison
Dripping, dripping
the cold dark cell
Drops of blood in my private hell
Slipping, slipping
I fall to the ground
I've tripped on my pride and I've broken my crown

Sleeping, sleeping
perchance to dream
wishing life would be more than it seems
Weeping, weeping
over reality
My only solace is insanity

away from the light

living on the run

The Warning
A ancient pact, sworn long ago
by knights and brothers great
Did bind them till their dying breath
and govern yet their fate

A band of knights, eight told in all
vowed far too wrathfully
For by their loth and angered words
they died beyond the Sea

They marched against an Evil
even they could not withstand
But still their valour lives and breathes
as bones upon the sand

This was, as you can see, inspired by the Oath of Fëanor.

laugh and play, away like fools

spin out of controll
unwind, enjoy the show
you know
it's crazy to go

The Hope of a Cynic

Splendid is the heart
when innocense reigns
when every hope seems bright
when a dream first takes life
when a day seems fresh and new
when all your efforts brings a reward
when little things bring so much delight
when every person you meet is good and nice
when you find a love so true
Splendid indeed is that heart

Constantly

I'm constantly on the edge
One wrong word, one wrong move
Can send me over the railings behind the hedges
Ain't there anything that can't behoove

Constantly on a short fuse
Yelling is becoming a bad use
Conquencenses can be mild
Some can be severe if you're wild

Constantly bursting through the door
Falling down and banging on the floor
Screaming at yourself in the mirror
Use your voice to hear thyself roar

Constantly crying myself to sleep
Drowning myself in bottomless pit deep
Destroying my dignity, my pride
Got nothing left to do, gonna just ride

~By Juanita Soto (GaladrielQueen)

[7doubles]

ride on
into the misty mountains
ride on
into the starry sky
don't ever let them
make you cry
this is the time to
this is the time to
get high
and leave the world behind
you don't allways need someone
someone
to hide
and lay all of your proublems on
deep inside
can keep your pride
does it make you sick
does it make you lie

stop
let go
move with the flow
the wave
the wave
can save
or it can pull you down
the wave
the sound
don't let it drag you down
your choice
no voice
can ever, bring you down

I face the pain,
the harsh needle pricked sensation,

Yelling and screaming is normal,
sneering and joking an unfortunate fact of life.

faerie ring, beware!
once inside
then never come out
faintly hear fiddles
in the air
celebration begins
under the earth
faerie mounds
and old oak roots
dancing round
and round the fire
the mirth of the
eternal reel;
once inside
oh how you'll dance
til the cold hands of
death you'll feel
and the faeries laugh
and dance and sing
they know it's too late
to escape the Ring.

Etchings, tiny marks inscribed on our unconsciousness
Memory, a tool that will find all the brightness inside
Speech, a way to express the most simple of secrets
Silence, what way is better to describe infinity?

[Ciryaher]

Roused from sleep I saw them dancing
'Round a fire, fey they seemed
With faery voices in the wind
My eyes could not believe what seen

Long did they dance about
Careless of the human in their midst
Until--as the tune made a change--
The Faery King came to me

With his robe of the finest silk
And a crown with a shining gem
He bowed to me, and spoke
In a voice unable to be ignored:

You are weary and surely tired,
But if you would come and dance a jig
We would be most glad of it
For Faery and Man come together rare

And I looked at him in wondering eyes
Not daring to speak a feeble word,
Rose I did from my rest to stand
Dropping the bottle from my hand

Though they came but to my knee
They moved with a tireless rhythm
Far into the night--on unwavering
We sang and danced to the Stars

On one foot first, then the other;
Leap into the air with a shout;
Land and tumble to your feet;
Spin about with a hand in the air

Hold the hand nearest you;
Stop and then start once more;
That is but part of the dance
To me which they taught

And when the rays of sunlight came
Beating down upon my weary brow
The faeries were no more: vanished
But I shall always remember
The night
I danced with the faeries

[GaladrielQueen]

wow ciry... Its so touching; ur gooooood

[Tar-Ancalime]

There he stood,
like an elven lord proud,
and graceful as a swan.
I was taken by his stare,
and felt near fainting.
When I began to colapse,
he stopped me from falling,
and offered me his hand.
Wooed by this moments certain charm,
I quite obvioulsy accepted.
Than he took my other,
and cleverly pulled me toward him,
radiating, intoxicating,
every moment he pulled me closer,
every moment my guard fell down.

[7doubles]

we didn't know the way
our efforts were all dead and hopeless
along came man clad in gray
with teeth that were so black and broken
his smile brought on a change
and his laughter told words that never been spoken
out loud, and so loud
proud
he was so proud
we couldn't run if we tried
the sounds were of some kind of hipnotise
over and over
again

this is the end of line

Underneath your skin you are a treasure to explore
the depths I cannot ignore

give me one night,
to be yours,
give me one moment,
to find my arms around yours,
give me that second
to treasure all that lies within,
give it to me straight.

I guess your here,
how can I wait,
you tell me patience,
I yell for a quickend pace.
the conflict arousing,
of denying souls,
I can't wait anymore for that critical moment to pop up.

Give me that night
I want it straight,
no more avoiding,
just heading for the door,
Give me it tonight,
I want it straight,
no more avoiding,
just passion faced

When rainbows mingle with the breeze
and lights dance quickly with the grass
You'll wonder whether waking mind

As all the trees and countless boughs

And the leaves of all those countless boughs
arrange the sky's perfect array

When I took that disastrous turn,
into the den of thieves,
I saw a most peciular sight,

I was so shocked,
I ran and jumped,
than I hit the door,
and never ever went out the theives den's door

Curriculum Vitae
A light shines through the open door
and casts its shadows on the floor
A sight I'd never seen before
which opened all my mind

For when that light hath met one's eyes
it helps them further realize
The gift of life which swiftly flies
and leaves the past behind

But then that light goes on its way
and vanishes, to my dismay
And I must follow all the way
to make sure I'm alive

[derastia]

Pain is a famillar thing,
With which to sheild
Oneself against the Night

[Luna]

Thankyou
Lantarion your poem flows through the mind like music...you should write a song
here is a work in progress:



i feel madness within,
fraying the edges of my mind,
like razor-sharp rats' teeth.

what can I do? where can I go?

go where madness takes me,
and somewhere beyond
out behind the rainbows
and in back of the sun,

to really see with open eyes
the hypocrisy of it all
that pride goeth before a fall
and pretty is meaningless!

...without spirit.

[7doubles]

my old girlfriend never shows
how the wind blows through her holy cloths
how her hair mingles with the breaze
in the forest light it blends with the trees

but the more you love that sweet girl above
the more you'll hate yourself
the more you fall into her soft inbraise
the further you fall from grace
when she lets you down

"helpless"
.......thanks luna.........

[Tar-Ancalime]

Feel the hate,
it surges forth,
feel the fear,
of what lurks ahed,
feel the pain,
that loniness brings,
feel the sorrow,
of death on the range.

It is a virus,
quickspreading,
infecting,
the good hearts who've been ravaged by loniness,
and gives them false comfort in the evil within

[Ciryaher]

The candle's burning softly,
And I'm sitting here alone
Staring at your picture--
Dreaming of my home..

It's been so long, my dear,
Since I last wrote to you
The road's been long and hard
And my heart is with longing

I'm dreaming of your face--
It's all that's in my mind;
Even as I sit here, wishing
On me your light would fall

I'll be in your arms soon;
And when the sun sets
On the days we are close,
We can be at last at ease

[Tar-Ancalime]

The Epoch of Twilight


Mien of night foretold,
Bearing news of lithesome sphere,
O yonder in the silver night;
And happily wearing a face of distaste.
Standing in the shadow rain,
Looking through the window pain.

Look! Yonder, look!
Her eyes be of a spectrum untold!
Looketh she of the twilight eyes.

And the crimson blasted thus forth,
In a rage of love and despair.
Look how the sky clouds;
Sky clouds with red flame!
And the despair echoes of black.

O yonder it lurks,
Amongst the mien of night foretold,
Amongst the clouds of crimson berth;
Amongst the emerald jewels wavering;
Amongst the fey of her forest.

How might she be?

(for those of you wondering, it's supposed to be pain and not pane)

[morning star]

Someday Pontifex, you'll be one of the greatest poets in the world!
Your last poem was soooooo good!

[morning star]

My stupid moment for the day.
Lantarion not Pontifex.

[7doubles]

no i don't know what i am
what it means to be a man
i'm a user
and i'm too confused to understand

i've grown so tired
and i'm sinking
slipping away into
a new way
all of my dreams
gone away

who am i to
stand and judge you
who am i to
put you down


"slow talk"

[Tar-Ancalime]

This night,
this time,
I won't fight back,
I won't resist,
my strength has left.
I've been fighting for months,
to resist your charm,
to block it out,
of my ordinary life.
Yet your persistince only increased,
and your comments more appealing,
and resisting your childish charms,
became an uphill battle.

Now I'm here,
please take me,
hold me in your tender embrace,
for so long my heart has been fantisizing,
the night that has finally come.
I found to fight the charm you have,
is a usless thing to fight,
for your heart is made of gold,
and mine will no longer be stone.

[Lantarion]

*baffled expression* Wow, uh.. thanks, Morning Star! :)

Excerpt
My own house doesn't feel safe anymore
for I do not know what Fate has in store
I fear for my life, and a knock at the door
a message from all of those things I abhor

I don't know why, but this is the case
I fear the unknown, that which has no face
A creature, a spirit that all will erase
and crush all my soul with a terror-wrought mace

Now they draw near, I hear their fowl call
their bony, dead hands bang on sanity's wall
I fear that my life will be gone ere I fall
that if I don't run I shall made be a thrall

I run, yes I run; these monsters I flee
away to the ocean, away to the Sea
Now what are my options, oh how do I feel?
how can I run from the creatures in me?

My death is approaching, my life will end soon
my immortal soul will be evil's new boon
I can but run where no creature can follow
and so my life ends, in hope and in sorrow

Sir Aftercore commited suicide on April 19th, 1012. It is said that a few days before his death he lost his mind and began hallucinating; apparently he was fleeing from an invisible menace. All that was left of his earthly posessions were destroyed when the Vikings attacked his village several weeks later; all but his strange little diary, with only five entries..

amazing...Lantarion (though you'll always be Ponitfex in my mind, lol)





Do not forget me
(the Prisoner)

For I
am always here.

You
gathering together
in laughter

I
am on the outside
in silence

Easy to forget
But

I am always here.

[7doubles]

do you relise, i am strong
tell the virgins, come along
people,people, what went wrong
now i'm blown away, by this song

seems like you know, what a hartbrake can tell you.
what you seek to find, is right, and no further then your mind
no one said life isn't tough, tough enough to down you
but when you fall pull up from the dive or it's suicide

and a broken hart is a cold hart
never again
and once it's broke it never mends
never again
you will never let it happen again
singin
stop, please
does anybody feel the breaze
never let it ever happen again

"breaze"

[Tar-Ancalime]

She: My love my life where have you been?
He:Right in front of thee, waiting in line.
She: Was I blind, my vision but gone?
He: No just not looking at me.
She: Was I deaf, why did I not hear your call?
He: I was yelling for you, but were you listening?
She: No, my distractions were men of cruel types. I should've seen you those days long ago.
He: No need to blame, no need to complain. No need to apoligize. It's really alright.
She:My heart is now ready. My mind is made up.I want you, that is all that I need.
He: Lady, lover, for know you how long I've wanted to hear that?
She: Only too well my lover my friend

[Narya]

For You Are Not Mine

I will see you go
and feel my heart ache again
tomorrow you may return
but only for awhile
for you are not mine
and your love belongs to her
but share this moment with me again
for I don't mind being alone
if you will only love me for a day
but your eyes are far in the horizon
and you long to be in her arms
though I cry a river everyday of my life
for you are not mine
and I will long for your touch
I will learn to accept the truth
for in me you see only a dawn
but in her you see your sunrise
and daylight is in her arms
yes something in me understands
knowing the depth of your choice
but somewhere in my mind I wished
that your choice was different
for you are not mine
and I will be chained in this doom
never will I see again
happiness in solitude
do I turn around and watch you go
and pretend that I do not love you?

[Lantarion]

Aldanya, also called The Epic
Before the hand of Man was known
when all the land was overgrown
Ere wrought was rock and hewed was stone
and kings sat on the golden throne
Before the era of the Proud
there stood a tree wihtin the ground
Its knowledge, great nobility
laid great a spell of sleep on me

I slept, and many moons there waned
the earth with curséd blood was stained
Kingdoms rose, then were no more
no memory left of times before
The world was changed, and laid to waste
all beauty (save my tree) erased
And just as I awoke from dreams
the Hallowed Folk appeared to me

With them the world was made once more
to greatness that was lord before
The leaves sang songs of whispered hush
and waves beat calmly on the shore

The grass was fragrant, long and green
the mirrored stars in pools were seen
The forests bloomed and reigned again
and Nature once again was Queen

And after many wholesome times
my life is wan, and in these rhymes
Recorded are the words of truth
which live, 'till End of Worlds arrive

[Tar-Ancalime]

There I sat,
underneath a fading willow tree,
as it neared the end of summer.
The air was loosing its carefree scent,
the wind was becoming harsh and cold,
nature was signaling to all,
the lazy days are gone.
I sat and waited out the days of summmer,
till the last bloom of the fair summer flower fades

[7doubles]

its more of the same
but i can't complain
you win or you lose
it's yesterdays news
ya
down on street
where the corner boys meet
they're killing time
cus they're all getting high
ya
no one thinks
in the blink of eye
you're running down shatows
on the back roads you fly
you're caught in my headlights
like a deer out on the road
with your face in the mirror
your mind will expload
ya ya
fool, fool, fool, fool, yaa
oh....alright

moven slow with the undertow
wake me up when it's time to go
make my bed and fix my head
travel on the path of the greatful dead

[Tar-Ancalime]

Deep 7!

We are lost,
inside a labyrinth,
unable to find the path,
that gives us a home,
wandering along,
meeting dead ends.
We complain about everything,
but in the end nothing is done,
so it has all been in vain.
The fight to the finish,
is done before it even begins.
No longer striving toward salvation,
but dying of sin and sadness,
drowning in the consequences,
of our own human fault.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Howz the poem???

[7doubles]

helerskelter, Tar:p

[Elbereth]

Lying in a state of suspension...
A lost soul in the mist...
Blinded by a false hope...
anxiety persist...

Grappling for sanity...
the world spins out of control...
Closing doors and broken promises...
keeping us from our goal

Anger follows hopelessness...
Hunger eats us all...
Sadness fills the hallway...
Emotion's sudden fall.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Cries of falsehood ring the air,
blaspheming the innocent,
scheming with sound.
Cries of peace from blood bathed lips,
mocking the harmony of life,
conspiring with a demons delight.
Cries of life with abundant grace,
from the subtle glair of Hells own gate,
tricking so many to join the club.
Cries of Love from a tender kiss,
falsley implanted to steal loves bliss,
with tender embraces and life stealing licks.
Cries of Enchantment,
of the devils snare,
telling us all to be wary of the light that will guide us home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've been noticing the lack of commentation on the works of most poets (exclucing ex-ponti and 7) Let me say y'all sound great

[Narya]

Hummingbird

hum for me, as sweetly as you have last night
make me fall from the heavens and fill you
for am I not your star, and you my ocean?
I kiss your lips and make you cry with delight
for my passion will engulf you with bliss

Let me make you mine, hummingbird
let my breasts be the oasis that you crave
make me shout from the mountaintop
and make the night envious of our love

Hummingbird, hum for me sweetly!

[Samwise_hero]

i wrote this poem but i'm not sure if it's ok, i mean i've never really written any good poems before but a couple of people have said they like it. Should i post it?:confused:

[Narya]

I don't see any reason why you shouldn't Sam. I am intrigued already.:D

[Eomer Dinmention]

OK well this is my first time, I am not good at writing poetry.
But i this is how i feel these days. Though it might sound Cheesy

At night in my dreams.
I thought you were the perfect girl
But I now have realized
That I have no chance in the world

For in my mind, there’s always two.
One thinks that It could happen
The other faces reality,
And says I can never be with you.

Though my heart goes through pain,
I can’t stand to see you with that guy
He cheated on you last time,
And I think to myself Why?

Why would a girl like you
go out with a guy like him?
You can do so much better,
If you inside yourself within.

Not only will you see and learn
But you’ll find a guy who’s right
And though I know It won’t happen ,
It could be me, It might

Though I must face reality,
And help myself to see,
That there will never be,
A chance between you and me.

So now I will live my life,
Trying to get over you,
Though I know one day I will,
You wounded me, and it’ll stay there still.

[7doubles]

cool Eomer!

[Lantarion]

Go ahead and post it Sam! I'm sure it isn't bad, and even if it was it wouldn't matter at al: everybody here posts **** stuff as well as good stuff (except for me, I'm the best writer ever to be born upon this earth, so..).. :D :D

Tyrant in Denial
On this side the birds are chirping
On that side the skies are black
On this side the grass is growing
Don't tell me what I know I lack

On this side the wall is tidy
On that side the stone is cracked
On this side the streets are perfect
Here the roots and boughs are hacked

On this side the springs are merry
On this side the water reeks
On this side the trees are golden
We die until you rightly speak

On my side the world is perfect
On your side the world is fake
On my side you may not wander!
Your curse only you can break

Silence! I am Lord and Master!
Is delusion all that wholesome?!
Silence! I am Lord and Master!
I should think it gets quite lonesome

He has gone, but evil lingers
licking all with poisoned fingers
Now we have to start all over
heal the trees, and grow the clover

[Ciryaher]

Well! Aren't we modest, Lanty? Well you've got reason to have a big head about it ;)

Good poetry, all! Remember that as long as you're speaking from yourself, and how you feel, your poetry has substance and is therefore admirable! Don't be afraid to post! :)

[7doubles]

oh, sometimes
she cries
sweet teardrops down from her eyes
now, she's smileing
bring me sunshine
come back day take away the night
and, she is mine
some of the time
nothing to do
but get high


yo've got to be
the one
only some of us are numb

you are my reason
i want you to come

i want you to know
i don't want to go

"bisket cakes"

[Tar-Ancalime]

This last embrace,
is long-withstanding,
never fades,
from mortal mem'ry.
Haunting me,
till death is on me,
haunting me,
to come back to you.
A curse it is,
to keep me coming,
back into the hell,
which I always try to leave.
Do not give me the goodbye hug,
for it is full of pain,
full of regret

[Lantarion]

The Path
As you tread down that dusty road
and watch the Sun go by
Lay off your back that heavy load
and watch the spinning sky

When once, a long long time before
you wondered where to go
You searched your heart, down to its core
but still you didn't know

Towards the mountains, climbing high
or in the forest cool
Upon a field of golden rye
or by a dim-lit pool

But if you think, you'll realize
it really doesn't matter
As long as all your paths are wise
and your visions do not shatter

So walk on down that dusty path
towards the hills beyond
Go not in sorrow, hate or wrath
but joy, and spirits fond

[Samwise_hero]

Well here goes, it doesn't really have anything to do with LOTR but i'll write it anyway. By the way i just copyrighted it LoL!

A Poem To God

You came to me when I was lost,
And showed me you way.
You were my lamp and path when I stumbled through my days.
You never lost sight of me,
Eventhough I lost sight of you.
You never let me flee,
Even when I abused you.
You loved me when I thought I was unwanted
And nursed me when i was sick.
You held me close when I was crying
And made me laugh even though times were thick.
You watched me as I grew in you,
You saved me when I fell.
You carried me through the rough times,
And walked with me right past hell.
Lord you never left me once,
Even as I strayed to the side.
You always gave me everything I needed,
You never let me die.
You'v always been my friend and father,
Lord you've been the best.
I just want to thankyou now,
And praise you lord,
Because I am blessed.

What do you think of it. Please tell.:)

[Lantarion]

I think the story is very touching and nice; and although the rythm is a bit unharmonic, it still gives you a sense of what the point is. :) Pretty good, I think.

The Call
When on the Sea a wind there blew
and swept the golden shores
A breeze there wafted through the earth
and quivered in the moores

The forests, tall and far away
felt in their boughs a voice
A song that sang of open fields
and of unhindered choice

The hills and mountains, large and great
felt in their flanks a chill
Not cold like ice or warm like snow:
it all their caves would fill

It 'round the townsfolk gently sailed
and filled their lungs with bliss
And seemed to say, with clear, kind voice:
"Just think of all you'd miss!"

But this time they just stayed in place
the people, woods and hills
They thought it better if they would just
tend their unceasing mills

But in another place and time
where all the lands are bare
This wind will come and wake the earth
and it will settle there

[Samwise_hero]

Was my poem ok for a first try?

[Tar-Ancalime]

excellent Samwisehero!

This little band of gold,
simple, pure and evil,
is no more than a relic of,
the demons that haunt within us,
the curruption,
the greed,
the power and lust,
The demons of the human mind,
come in many forms,
but they reside in the soul,
deep under feelings,
burried in time.

[Narya]

So I went back in

I saw a light at the end of the tunnel
finally an end to this endless loneliness
there was a hand that tried to reach out
and I held on as long as I can

But then he shook me free,
and I slid down once more
but before I hit the ground
he reached out again, and held on

But something else pulls him back
something more precious than I
so he let me go with a sigh I fell
and went back in and wait again.

[Ciryaher]

Mighty as the ocean wide,
Ardelion stood upon the rise
Waiting for an earthly guide
To bring him to the Wise

But Ardelion was watching
When he should have stood
His own plans he was botching;
All went awry that was good

Rising when it was far too late;
And his mind was lost within--
For the haunting voices of Fate
No guardian angel came to him

Ardelion wandered lost for long
The sands of time bore him down
No longer was Ardelion's spirit strong
And upon his face was ever a frown

But while he faltered upon a path
Through a black and hopeless storm
His eyes beheld a wondrous bath
Of endless shape and form

Wading into the soothing waters
He found all that he had lost
His loving wife and two young daughters
For his journey of glory was a cost

But with glory lost and joy refound
Ardelion made himself a humble vow
Never let the wind his heart confound;
Let his soul sail upon the carven prow

[Lantarion]

End of Excellence
I remember when it snowed one night:
the alabaster boughs
Were glistening in the evening glow
the trees like carven prow

At night, when all the world was sloth
and under blankets white
I was disturbed from dreams of thought
by noises in the night

I rose, and listened carefully
the sound had fled away
But still I rose on frozen feet
to colour visions gray

The window, blurred with razor-shards
which tiptoed through the air
Was lit by flakes a-wavering
they fell and nestled there

They flowed with grace and perfect form
resounding in the eve
No noise, the silence quivering
they lay on heaven's sleeve

I sat beside the window sill
I sat and watched with awe
For nothing filled me with such fear
than heaven's gaping maw

But words were too inadequate
my tears unflattering
I fell to rest by nature's face
the curtains fluttering

diveriting from the common trail,
where man may most oft tred,

[Eomer Dinmention]

Why must life be so hard,
Everywhere I see,
People are all happy
But why isn’t it like that for me

Nothing makes me happy
Nothing makes me glad,
All that I know is
That my life is really bad.

I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to feel,
My heart is in pain,
Will it ever be healed?

Do I feel happy?
Do I feel depressed?
Can I make up my mind?
How to get out of this mess.

Life’s not worth living anymore,
Theres nothing for me to do,
I have nothing to live for,
All this because you

I liked you for so long,
As if it was a huge crush,
Every time I would see you,
I would feel a sudden Rush.

A rush of happiness,
A rush of excitement,
As you were the one,
Who would make me feel as if I had won.

Though I saw you with another guy,
My life and everything else just froze
It hurt me deep inside,
My anger and hatred for u rose.

I want to get over you,
So I tried to ignore you,
Used the silent treatment,
And tried to be rude to you.


But none of that worked,
You were still on my mind,
You were there when I looked,
From the others you shined.

The more I ignored you,
I started to miss you,
I can’t live without you,
And I can’t live with you.

I know I have no chance,
And that is why I want you out,
To get this whole thing over with,
With out any doubt.

To move on with my life,
And to find out,
What my whole life,
Here Is all about.

So why aren’t you gone yet.
Get out of my head,
I know I’ll regret this,
I wish I was dead.

[Tar-Ancalime]

Now I now what it all meant,
my eternal happinesss,
the charmed life i lived,

The purest of love
Two souls become one
Bound by a light
That shines brighter
Than all the stars above
Strong enough to withstand
The worst of evils
No one can break it
It is ever lasting
Eternal
The way the sun
Rises and sets
Upon each new day
This love will grow
Brighter and stronger
As time passes
It will forever bind
Two souls as one


That's something I wrote for the love of my life. ;)

One rainy day,
I sat inside and watched it fall,
unto the ground outside,
with desire I looked at the steady falling,
wishing I could be outside,
to help pass my endless time,
and the amountless hours that fill the day

[7doubles]

i opened up my hand
and gave up again
god is calling me

and its bitter sweet
destiny
life is just a dream
reality
god is calling me

and i never had
it quite so bad
but at least i'm happy
because, god is calling me

winter comes,
the old Norseman with his battle axe---
so quickly it's almost a surprise;
how soon the seasons change.

winter comes as death presses in,
I can feel it all around me
like a presence.

thanks luna. i'v had serious writers block lately.

[Lantarion]

Thank you Morning Star.

Difference
His presense undetectable
his song a work of art
The trees a-swaying catch his tune
and melt the coldest heart

A quiver runs among the woods
and eyes are turned to him
And ears are pricked as he begins
to chant his voiceless whim

And night, when dusk curls all around
but leaves are rippling still
The carven horn shines on the soul
and guides the feathered quill

When dawn is near, and night departs
the land is fresh and wet
The oaks a-gleaming sleep still on
for them the stage is set

But when the winds change well-known course
and unexpectedly
They turn away, and hurry on
and leave the grass ungreen

This is supposed to be a metaphorical poem; I won't tell you them, but the title might give you a hint towards many of them.

[Kementari]

Um.. this is the first poem ive ever writen that wasn't a sort of fairy-tale saga. Ive had terrible writers block for like 8 months but i think im starting to get over it, slowly... Im really inspired by how some of you people write without worrying to much about rhyming or syllables and putting your feelings into what you write...i stink at it, but aw well. BTW warning: don't read this if you don't like to read stupid, deep and/or mushy poems..... :D

'How do you do what you do to me?' [unfinnished]

I’m so scared
All my life
Anyone who I dared to trust
Have betrayed and lied to me
All my life
I’ve been so terrified

When your with me
You make me forget what’s happened
The words you say
Free my mind and heal my heart


The soft tones of your voice will soothe my pain
The warmth of your touch will make me feel safe again..

I’m so afriad
My love
That if we stayed together
It would all end the same way
My love
I’m still frightened

Don’t leave me
Just hold me a little while longer

No one could do what you do to me

[Dengen-Goroth]

Kem, that was beautiful. Masterful work indeed:) Here's a small little thing I wrote just now, because of the spontaneousness, don't laugh to much:)

Had the sun not risen,
I would have thought naught.
Had the moon not set,
I would have bemoaned naught.
Had hope been like to pain,
I would have been pained naught.
Had Pain been like to mirth,
I would have been glad naught.
Had you not risen,
I would have been naught.
Had your dawn not come,
Forfeit is my soul.

[Kementari]

Lol!!!! j/k im not laughing at your poem, it was very pretty and nicely writen (like everything you write, Dengen :) ) im laughing cause you said something nice about what i wrote :eek:

[Lantarion]

Wow, Dengen, masterful stuff! :eek:
And I thought your poem was really touching, Kem. Not bad at all for a first of such kind!

By Sun, Star and Moon
I feel the air which I respire
cold and hard my bare attire
Bright and holy my golden face
yet at night my voice is called a liar

A shard among a sea of glass
a single, twinkling blade of white grass
A sign of goodness, hope and life
a shining jewel in a deep blue mass

The sky around is cold and dark

Come to me! Do not give up hope,
