This is probably a bad idea XD Point is, I wanna start a topic about...something. Ok, let's start

 

 

The Downed

 

Who would have known

It would come to this.

Although it's shown.

But you, I wont miss.

 

I wont cry

and I wont die

I'll just fabricate

that same lie.

 

Doesn't sound like me.

I'm stripped of glee.

Just a shell

Of my inner -rhymes with shell-.

 

But now I'm great

And I can hate

Who and what,

And everything I want.

 

I love to hate

Everything you are.

Because you hate,

everyone and all.

 

What you say and what you are

is everything you can't discard.

For if you do, you wont be you.

You wont be me.

You wont be anything at all.

 

Ok who's next? Do multiple at once, that's what the cool kids do, unlike me __-__

 

(The next one will be nicer, I promise) XD

Well, I bought a rose for kaitlin today.

However, something made me feel dismay.

 

I had to write a message, on the spot.

Which made me nervous, quite a lot!

 

What to write? I did not know.

I couldn't leave it blank, dont'cha know?

 

So there I was, no clue what to write,

And this uncanny feeling of fright!

 

What if I put down something silly,

or sounds extremely stupid?

 

I hope valentines day leave me saying,

"I think you missed my target, cupid."

 

And by the way, that isn't the message I gave to Kaitlin. >.<

Not really. However, before you ask, here it is:

"Hey. I'm sorry I've kept this from you, but I kinda have a crush on you. Hope you take this well. ^.^

The worst part about the situation (or it might turn out to be the best ;D) Is that she is in my class directly after she gets the rose.

(and horatio, I made a typo in my poem above. Please change it to how I made it in this last set of quotes)

Yay, this is Ich...new and permanent sn XD

 

Anywho, next one's for Paz, but I need to fix it a little because it was written for....well, another reason. But it serves its purpose now more than ever.

Something Unreal

 

You're the inspiration for the things I do,

you're the reason I pull myself through.

Day by day, in and out,

you're everything I can't go on without.

 

I thrive when we're together

and I die when we're apart,

and then I grow an ugly "spot"

deep inside my heart.

 

I feel so cold; I feel so dark.

I only care for your remark.

But when you're here,

so close and dear,

that "spot" seems so unreal.

 

I know of some mistakes you've made,

but that's all in the past.

I love you the way you are today.

 

I don't care what the others say,

of what and how you are.

I love you the way you are.

 

To me, you're more than just another girl.

You're the closest thing I've ever seen to a miracle.

These will be my last words,

now I await the ones you hold

[Horatio]

Beautiful!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!!

Fantastic!

Beautiful poem.

[social_outcast]

Even though

I'm consumed

I see myself

Falling

Falling

And I know I

Need help

but I keep

Stalling

Stalling

So collapse

And let the pain

Wash it all away

Replacing

Replacing

The emotional

Hateful, sickening

Ache that I

Live

Live

with, but

Not for long

This newfound

Pain

Pain

Feels so good

And yet

It's so bad

It hurts me

It hurts me

It hurts me

and

Controlls me

[Horatio]

Social Outcast, I am sorry you are hurting. Your poem is superb and full of expression.

Yes. Arkcher made a specific topic about it. I had already asked HampsterKing about it and then Arkcher brought it up.

[Kep]

so, I'm attempting to branch back out into multiple threads. XD I thought I'd share a poem of my own, something I wrote last April.

 

---

 

There is a boy on the edge of the bed

when the girl wakes up dreaming,

What are you doing here?

I let myself in.

Oh.

I have always wanted to do this.

 

There is a kiss on the edge of the bed,

And a boy with different hair and eyes and skin and body.

Me too.

Tell me a story.

Once upon a September,

Yes?

I looked across a crowed room

and saw your face-

for but a moment-

and violins played,

and I knew that you would be everything I need.

It sounds like a beautiful love story.

It wasn't.

Why not?

Your heart was not in it,

and if you ever looked at me,

it was not worth the turmoils of love.

I looked.

But you were beautiful to me.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And you are all I see.

 

There is an apology on the edge of the bed,

And a boy with different hair and eyes and face and soul.

Beauty is in your eyes.

I never even saw you looking.

I can't take my eyes off of you.

You only love my compassion.

It is true that I am lonely.

How often do you count your chickens?

As often as the moon shines in your eyes.

My eyes do not stray long from the sun.

But when they do, I will turn of the lights of the-

 

There is a flicker at the edge of the bed,

And a new voice, new face with dark empty eyes.

-universe, and therin shall lie the answer.

In terms of what?

It is always in terms of x.

Could it ever be in terms of me?

I suppose it could be in terms of y.

You could measure my intrigue.

I would measure it in megahertz.

But you would not know where to start.

Don't know you?

No.

It starts with a kiss.

Oh.

I have always wanted to do this.

 

There is a kiss on the edge of the bed,

And a boy with different hair and eyes and skin and body.

Me too.

Tell me a story.

Once upon a September,

Yes?

I looked across a crowed room

and saw your face-

for but a moment-

and violins played,

and I knew that you would be everything I need.

It sounds like a beautiful love story.

It wasn't.

Why not?

Your heart was not in it,

and if you ever looked at me,

it was not worth the turmoils of love.

I looked.

But you were beautiful to me.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And you are all I see.

 

There is an apology on the edge of the bed,

And a boy with different hair and eyes and face and soul.

Beauty is in your eyes.

I never even saw you looking.

I can't take my eyes off of you.

You only love my compassion.

It is true that I am lonely.

How often do you count your chickens?

As often as the moon shines in your eyes.

My eyes do not stray long from the sun.

But when they do, I will turn of the lights of the-

 

There is a flicker at the edge of the bed,

And a new voice, new face with dark empty eyes.

-universe, and therin shall lie the answer.

In terms of what?

It is always in terms of x.

Could it ever be in terms of me?

I suppose it could be in terms of y.

You could measure my intrigue.

I would measure it in megahertz.

But you would not know where to start.

Don't know you?

No.

It starts with a kiss.

How terrific. You have such creative talent. Thanks for submitting your poem.

[Cheesus]

so, I'm attempting to branch back out into multiple threads. XD I thought I'd share a poem of my own, something I wrote last April.

here, have another one. written during a break at work (I was a stock market analyst specialising in on-balance volume. there are some allusions to the stock market in there, that I don't know if anyone other than horatio might get, but that's okay, they're not necessary to the understanding of the poem.)

Cold coffee in the mornings,

and I can't concentrate at work.

My thoughts are not ready for

on-balance volume

when I am so preoccupied

with recent memories of you.

 

all I can think about

is how boys always lie

and claim they felt nothing,

the whole time,

"I only meant it a little bit."

"I only said it to humor you."

"I never loved you, I swear."

"I never meant to hurt you."

when words have been said,

and actions made,

that say,

"I look at you,

and all my worries float away,

and you are my escape from reality,

and, at the same time, you are my

reality, made so much better."

"I want you near me."

"I love you."

"You glow. It's beautiful."

in volumes beyond decibal measurement.

 

The worst is

"I never meant to hurt you."

Because it is like an appology,

without ever bothering to say the words,

"I'm so sorry, now."

And it fails to realise

that it never matters if you meant it or not,

because it still hurts,

and it will continue to hurt,

beyond the realm

where appologies make things better.

Even if I never say it,

(and I never, never will),

Even if I never tell you that

it's hurting inside,

somewhere I can't find,

it will still be there,

long after you are gone.

 

I am tired of feeling this way,

beautiful lovesick disaster

caught in downside exhaustion.

And I don't want to fall in l____ again,

if they only keep on telling me,

 

"It was never real,"

 

 

When it was as real to me,

 

as this cold cup of coffee.

[Horatio]

a bit scrappy, if I do say so myself. Written last May.

At night, she dreams of cellists

from the land immortalized by Bartok,

with touseled hair,

and liquid brown eyes.

Bilingual and beautiful,

he confides in her, secrets

she can barely remember

by the time she wakes.

Every night, she'll give everything,

anything for his love.

She gives the retinas

with which she sees the world,

her ventricles,

each finger,

every part inside her

that sings whenever she hears Brahms,

and the lungs that can't breathe

whenever Heifetz plays Sibelius.

Her dream lover is an extension of her being.

and there is no pain

quite like being cleaved in two,

when he tells her that she chose

an instrument with too few strings.

 

So, by day, she dreams of pianists,

from the land of her ancestors

and immortalized by Chopin.

The kind of Prince Charming

that won't let her cry, and the

stability of a love

without complications-

a sedative for the delicate procedure

of putting her back together again.

 

 

 

She dreams of dreamless sleep.

watching as laughter fades

the starts gleam grinning down

teasing a childish mind

come play with us, they resound

come fly where pain is gone

come jump and laugh and play

come, make a wondrous mess

you can go home any day

we promise you'll have fun

we promise you'll want more

we promise what only we can keep

too bad our promises are forevermore

 

yay peer pressure vacuum!

*rises from dead* yep _-_ Let's start off easy, eh?

 

-Awful/Sweet-

 

Not a place to call my own

Not even a home

Cold and alone

All I wanted was a real home

 

Don't assume anything

Especially in the spring

The reality will set you straight

In the season of renewing

 

Of everything said

None of it I will disregard

It'll be with me to the end

Just realized...I'm no closer than a dummy.

 

 

 

Cruddy ending, I know. But it serves a purpose, as silly as it seems >.>
