Ok so I used to write poems, kinda a lot. I've been going back over them lately and I wanted to share them with people. Get some feedback type bejiggety. Soo...anything would be nice :)


Another Fine Mess
Just a piece of trash
Another fine mess
And I am here by the way
For you I'd give anything
If that is the way you feel
Sometimes with you I wonder
Who wants to be safe?
In vain we cry for help
But the voices don’t hear us
And that's when we need it most
Just as you turn your back
All hope fades into the shadows
And I know you don’t care
That I hold myself to ransom
A shred I remain



Art-ificial
That's right
Turn around so you don't
Have to face me anymore
Don't have to feel my eyes
Burning through your flesh
Melting away the core

The city central of your mind
Comes crashing down now
The lights will smash here
Bombs will explode there
I decided you aren't
Deserving of anything

Structure a response to this
You can't and I will laugh
Analyze every little detail
You can about me to find
It doesn't make any sense
Do you understand now?

You aren't supposed to know
I erased you hours ago
So no longer do you matter
Realise that I don't want
Don't need anything from you
Because of who you are


Beauty Foil
This blackwall hitch strung into my back
Got me hooked with the book read line
The soliloquy was undoubtedly impressive
I couldn't imagine time better spent
Than being here conversing with myself

This seems senseless but I can't stop
I am intrigued by where you lead me
Where vacancy is a good personality trait
The day is saved by the metal brigade
Put out the fire of my ugly friend cotton

You are beauty foil
Lost amongst a bed of weeds
Shine through a crowd
Unwrap to find the truth
Are you coated or real?


Disorder
Slender spikes of elegant pain
Puncturing my self worth and gain
Left for nothing here now there
I'm fractured defeated everywhere
Time is for killing

Practicing my funeral face
Error watch this space
Reverse into forwards gear
Search within an empty fear
Overlook the obvious fatality
Never mind the abnormality
Always remember to forget
Let me be a sillhouette
I shall be mine and hers
Take whichever you prefer
You can't handle us either way


Exhaling Suicide
Turn around to find everyone despised her
Even the alphabet soup refuses to talk
The television remains switched off
Remote control hid itself

An odd silence echoes through the hallway
Black rain outside showering her angst
Ripping up the innocent clouds
No more fluffy exterior

A gallery of smashed plates lay at her feet
Reasons escape her weakened grasp
Defences come crashing down
A single tear rolls


Feel Nothing Anymore
I can feel the tears burning the back of my eyes
Stabbing with needles trying to break free
There is nothing left of me here anymore

I can feel my heartbeat weakening quickly
The race is over and I have lost
Leaving a dirty trail of sadness behind

I can feel the clouds pushing over my head
Surrounding me in it's darkness
As the light slowly fades away

I can feel this hurt as it runs through my body
Violently breaking all it touches
Relishing in the total destruction

I can feel myself giving in to this finally
After fighting it away for so long
Seems like such a waste

I can feel nothing anymore


Granted for Taken
Granted for taken
Greed by the swallowed
Injustice of smell
Shell out hollowed

Remains up broken
Heals that don't scar
Spoken never words
Ok from being far

Situation the understanding
Help a little needing
Myself again by here
Hating the feeding

Reminded I am constantly
Hearing of sick
Memories by wounded
Pain the lick

...Late it's too now


Home of the Stoner
I got her off her innocent face
Tipped her back up and sat her down
Got to keep her wider than awake
Porcelain glorified ecstacy drowned

We went fishing for reality
Dipping in the fashion of the skinny
On a field trip to fatality
Persuit of a liquid filled tinny

Grasping for the fiction
Laughing in line for the punch
Paper plate to feed my addiction
Losing me, using me, call it a hunch

Fuel my lust for illusion
Beckon her track back on side
Daily dosage of sheer confusion
Wide unblinkered vision eyed

I think it's about time I went home


Incision
Disect me
With your words
With your assumptions
With the cruelest grace
One cannot mistake
You know your way around
The 'I'm a whore' dictionary


Matchstick Boy and Petrol Girl
The little matchstick boy
Was in love
With the little petrol girl

She made him feel all hot and bothered
How very sweet
He made her melt with his gaze

He wanted to do something about this attraction
Inside of him
She wanted exactly the same thing

He told her that he loved her
Awaiting an answer
She said she loved him too

Sparks went off inside him
Oh not good
Her face went from happy to terrified

He was set alight by these feelings
No no no
She was covered in the flames

He was so sorry, he couldn't stop
How awfully sad
She was burnt to a crisp...so was he

And that was the end of their flaming romance


Seize the Night
See me here
With piercing glare
Blue remnants of soul
Of death within

This is living
By the lucent moon
Torchlight battlefield
War wages on

Show your teeth
Take what is ours
Give reason for hate
Keep the fight

Seize the night


Sirens and Silence
Listen now to the
Sirens and silence
Of graceful loser
The third
Drawn with four
Eyes instead of
None

An empty crowd
Sirens and silence
To those who don't
Perform well
Under pressures
Weighty and
False

Tiresome child
Sirens and silence
Carry on screaming
Lungs are
Bloodwork cogs
Feeling the
Falling

Relatively unstyled
Sirens and silence
Needless Leader
Anti-idol
Lack the
Standard


Twisted Tales
Circle round the roses
Striking many poses
Sneeze away disease
We all spiral down
Crashing to the ground

The tale of the fairy twists

Spout the words of sixpence
A sack full of rye
Four point two blackbirds look you in the eye
And when the stare ends
The birds begin to laugh
Isn't this a prissy swish along a broken path

The tale of the fairy twists

Jack and Jill
Upon a grill
Because they can't behave
Jack got drunk
Jill a senseless punk
So destined they are for bakedom

The tale of the fairy twists

Monday's child is off her face
Tuesday's child lacks class and grace
Wednesday's child suffers emo woe
Thursday's child is desperate to go
Friday's child has drugs for giving
Saturday's child finds it hard just living
But the child that is born on the last day
Acursed of all, for he is gay

The tale of the fairy twists


Unhinged Nirvana
Sugar cube eyes
Solvent tongue
Cheaply wrapped
Lavishly undone

Comfort in yellow
Glamorous by midnight
Acid spat words
Rude turned polite

Mutiny of sound
Charged negativity
House for thought
Lack of creativity


Unorthodox Fragmentation
And it's then after much explaining
I stop as slowly I am crumbling
Falling into the depths of my sea
The sea of unorthodox fragmentation

I am travelling the long distance
A path which leads only to nowhere
My feet are bare the soles are torn
The ground consists of broken glass

The blazing heat is unbearable here
It uncaringly scorches my bare skin
Wraps around my neck pushing harshly
Knowing full well that I will surrender

My vision becomes blurred and distorted
Stumbling forwards into an unknown fate
My soul comes to a close, it's end
A euphoric annihilation has taken it's place


Volitaire
Vivace commandment
Suicide pistol
In my face
Life a la fata morgana
A martyr to an unknown cause
Cipher the non existant
Capture the stolidity
Lock it away
Volitaire and seamless
Labyrinth of solitude
A pillar of the dillusionary
Standing on the edge
Line of sanity
Kicking it up
In form of dust
It's meaningless to me now

Take me to river lethe
Let me forget
Let me die

I love Granted for Taken. Quite clever. They are all awesome and I envy your way with words.

Love Me?

I still can't believe you used the word 'Soliloquay' in a poem. Wow. And you know I love them all....very impressed, lover. <3 I love the twisted fairytales, but my favourite it still the Matchstick Boy and Petrol Girl. :D

Twisted Tales and Disorder have to be my favorites, dear. But wow, I haven't read some of your poems in the longest while. I remember long ago when you first showed them to me and I recall Matchstick Boy and Petrol Girl! :) Good times, I think you're a wonderfully talented poet hun. I can't wait to read more. ^.^

Heh thanks guys :) Makes me all happy and stuff. I was such a depressed little person, I guess it shows huh. Oh well, it's actually easier to write that stuff - even if I don't feel that way I can write it. Like this poem I wrote just now. I'm also gonna post some lyrics of mine too, cause I can hehe.


Decease
Won't make it to death
Life consumes me
Pulsating debris
Another reluctant breath

Sweetly grant decay
Acquire my flesh
A pain refreshed
Depression on display

De
Cease


From Herself
One thousand glimpses of heaven
Sweet surprise in your eyes
Glowing hoop of purity and grace
Placed instead over your head

Life can't save her
Love can't save her
Nobody can save her
From herself

Unlimited faith and loyalty
Held together with pieces of leather
Harmproof fence errected around
Protecting the unsuspecting

Life can't save her
Love can't save her
Nobody can save her
From herself

Switch the light back on for now
Hallucinate that I'm sedate
Pretend I can be something I'm not
Assume I'll consume every word

Life can't save her
Love can't save her
Nobody can save her
From herself

Fortune twisted dash of vanilla
Come to proclaim you own my flame
Forget everything you were before
Neglect the future's perfect

Life can't save her
Love can't save her
Nobody can save her
From herself


Opposing Thrill
Delivering fate
From a parcel bag
Hand it over
Give it to them now
One foul blow at a time
One after another
After another

Take your fortune
Gamble for more
Relish in the greed
That will be
Your end
Another life broken
Out of order

Opposing thrill
Lose your head
Carry on snorting
Until you're dead

Rendered senseless
A numbing blur
Never certain of
What is right
What is left
But a hollowed
Shell of residence

Turn it around
Regather normality
Heave it back up
Spilling out
Spinning in
All that remains
Destruction complete

Opposing thrill
Lose your head
Carry on snorting
Until you're dead



Red Petals
The red petals dance atop
Markings in cool hard stone
Stained leaves hover daintily
Above your autumnal throne

The found amongst the lost
Ghosts between the living
Leave before your time is due
Convince me I'm forgiving

Red petals to save your grace
Red petals for green to replace

Rise up again with the sun
Illuminate the irreplaceable
Lead to places back in time
Connecting to dots untraceable

Hazy days with silver arrival
Hiding beneath the shade
By all accounts non existant
Void and null nearing decade

Red petals to save your grace
Red petals for green to replace

Death isn't the end
Because I won't forget



Self Destruct
I'm a drama queen
Tunnel vision teen
The one causing a scene
My angst I scream
Caffeine machine

Full frontal obscenity
A loss of identity
I have the audacity
Whatever I want to be
Not afraid of being me

I'm a deceiver
Peer pressure believer
Untruth conceiver
Always pick neither
Carbon dioxide breather

Highly-strung fatality
Without a personality
Longing for immortality
Technically an abnormality
Stuck in this unreality

I'm a rebel distortion
Of the biggest proportion
The partial abortion
Best kind of contortion
Doubled over extortion

I'm a perfect error
An unearthly terror
Revealing to your horror
The non-reflective mirror
There's simply nothing rarer

Anti-social disaster
Coated in thick plaster
Got to be moving faster
Deadly serious blaster
My mind is my only master

I'm the one you love to despise
Hidden well beneath this disguise
Decisions made and choice unwise
Long goodbyes as someone close dies
For the one who secretly cries



Taking Me Over
It's taking me over
It's taking me over again

The story changes
But the ending is the same
I live through this pain
And then do it again

And I can't stop
What I already started
And I can't stay
When I already departed

It's taking me over
It's taking me over again

Play me something beautiful
Like the strings of my heart
Rip me into pieces
And then claim it was art

Paint me in shades of black
Cover over my light
I will not shine anymore
Whether it be day or night

It's taking me over
It's taking me over again

Love Me?

And I love these songs. Particularly Red Petals and Taking Me Over. Not sure why, but those two seemed to stick out in my mind the most. I want to be able to manipulate words like this...my attempts are extremely pathetic and thus will not be shown to the public.

Thanking you, although yeah - my poems aren't great either. I guess I just like sharing them. You should posts yours so that I can marvel at how awesome they are!

Love Me?

HAHAHAHAHA....trust me when I say you don't want to see them.
