[REVENGE]

This is Lindsey (NG, NirvanaGirl) for those wondering. I decided I needed a name change. Since I can no longer edit my other poetry thread, I've decided to make a new one, since I just can't seem to stop writing poetry. Hope you enjoy.

Love Is Where We Burn
Warm thoughts
Have drifted off
Where have they gone
Those lovely times
They've sunk away
Into the fog
Surrounding thy skin
And thy mind
Let it breathe
Then let it die.

[Makarov]

Wasn't much a fan of this one. I tend to like your stories more.

[Poetic]

Lindsey! Do you want to start Tears back up?
:D

[REVENGE]

Yeah, sure. ;] I missed it.

[Freebee93]

Yeah tears i coming again!

Also great poem lindsey.

[Poetic]

Yeah, sure. ;] I missed it.
Yah! I skimmed everyone's stuff, and I think I know who to let in. I'll ask you in Fishy's.
:D

[Heat 4eva]

Welcome back Lindsey/NG/REVENGE or whatever else you're going by now. Nice to see you're still writing =D

Why don't you edit all of your other pieces into the first post of this thread, it'd be a shame to just leave it to rot in the old thread.

Keep writing girl =D

[REVENGE]

I may consider linking them all to this thread, but sadly I have to attain 15 posts first.

Storm
The story within the rain
Makes me smile every time
That which hits thy face
Is only a simple gesture
But beauty all the same
Round the world it travels
To give peace and prosperity
To break the fog away
That covers our outer shell of human skin
To make us realize that the touch of the water
On our faces
Means that we're alive
Whether we truly believe it or not.

[REVENGE]

Whispers Of The Night
Let the whisper
Travel soundly
From thy lips
Let it be free
Let it carress those who heed it
Let it bring fear to those who hear it
The evil whisper of thy path
The chosen mark upon thy skin
The owner's way to end the pain
The owner's passion wasted away
The whisper silently turns to dust
And sprinkles upon yonder tombstone
The one it's owner now rests in
The choice it was trying to warn you of
The desperation ceased in it's way
It rests with it's owner now
Dust on a rock
That signifies nothing more than dirt
To those who look upon it
With ignorant eyes of red.

[Makarov]

Poetry is hard, so I give you credit.

Off Topic: Poe, one of my spelling words was onomatopoeia. So you were in my classroom thoughts. Feel <3

[kogeck]

Those are great works of art. I'm trying to become a better poet and I'm jealous of you. ;)

[REVENGE]

Thank you. :]

You have no reason to be jealous of me - you're poetry is wonderful. Also, I find it's easier to be a better poet when I'm not really paying attention to what I'm typing. I just sort of type my train of thought, and call it a poem. See if that works for you. :] (It might not, there's always the off chance I'm merely insane.)

[Poetic]

LinZ! I has a smexy idea. We could hold a writin contest, and the winner would...get a smexy avatar. It could boost momentum for Tears. You in?
:D

Mkay, I'll make the thread, and the avvy. You, RFS (maybe), and I will judge.

[REVENGE]

Give Me Reckless Reason
Sweet release
Please find me here in my space
This small opening in my heart that's me
Nothing but the fear that I'll cease to be
That I'll become nothing more than a hollow shell
I don't want to loose the flame
That burns within my soul
Don't let it stop burning the skin
Don't let it quit fueling my sin
I need the heat within myself
To keep my sanity fresh
Someone wrench my hair from it's roots
Give me a reason to scream and cry
Give me any reason to be sad
Give me a point to this mindless fog
Let me be free with the pain
Lift the fog away from my sight
Give the pain a purpose by telling me you love me
Make it worth my while
Pull me away from the glass wall
Where I pound my fists daily
Just waiting for that thin barrier to break
Waiting to be sent over the edge
Waiting to be thrown out of my seat
Waiting to give way and lunge from the cliff
Waiting to die.

[REVENGE]

Faith
Faith is standing on the edge
Looking back at those who harmed her
She spreads rice grains and rose petals in her wake
Smiling weakly, she spreads her flightless wings
Though the pressure of following souls unbalances her footing
She doesn't fall over the edge, into the mist of agony and suicide
Instead of falling into the abyss of madness
She instead makes a notch in the back of her mind
A notch to signify every pain delt to her
A notch to signify every tear she cried
So that she may deal with it another day
In a better place and time
When her life is more at ease
And the storm has settled at sea
Faith is the one that you scream at when your anger cannot subside
Faith is the one you harm with your words that better yourself and no one else
Faith is the one that takes it all in, and has no one to cling to
She stands strong in the midst of the shrieking wind
Refusing to bend or break against the force surrounding her
Faith is the one that will be left standing when the war has been waged
Faith is the one that will be stronger, while those that tortured her
Will be nothing but hollow shells that once were full
She will remain still until her wings grow
And then she will merely fly away.

[Dannyboy]

^^ That is probably the deepest of your works I have read.^^

I'm glad you're still writing these, and although I'm late on the voting, good luck on that contest. :)

[REVENGE]

Preach
The sermon he preaches is hollow and empty
The followers nod in his wake
Everything lies in the shadow of wrath
Waiting to be cast away
What can you do but believe in a God
That takes all your loved ones away
What can you do but preach about nothing
Your words hollow, empty, and fake
Nothing you say can make me comply
And nothing you say will catch on
Nothing you do will take the control
And nothing you do will satisfy
You long for your power, your hate and your greed
Yet you stand at the alter and preach
Like a doll whose face was long forgotten
Like a doll who has rotted away
Stand at the alter and preach about nothing
I will hear nothing you say.

Thank you, I'm glad you've enjoyed them.

[REVENGE]

I'm fully aware this is not my best - but I felt the need to post it regardless.

Remembrance
Forever we can scream alone
Remembering the fate of those
Who cried within the flames and ashes
Forever we can be lost for words
Floating in the morbid serenity of what was left behind
The name of that day will make your skin rise
Make it boil and chill with the threat of demise
You will recall the flames of that date
The ashes and pillars of smoke that rose in the wake
In the wake of those who died alone
In the wake of those who now are gone
In the wake of the tears shed
9/11
Remembrance

[REVENGE]

Shadows
Everything slumbers here
Nothing shall wake here
For nothing lives here
We shall all die here
The hands of the weary
Pale and discolored
Grasp at your skin here
The lie shall be told here
Here in this hell, now
You will lose all here
The lie of the living
That all looks of gold
Do not have faith there
For you must stay here
We will take great care
Of that which you keep
Please you shall rest here
You shall not wake here
For you must die here
Here in this hell.

[REVENGE]

Moment Of Escape
The candles of past lives flicker in the wake of soft breath
Singing softly of their secrets
Loved ones left behind light them silently
Tears escaping their eyes as if from a prison
This place of dreams causes uncomfort
You long to leave
This is not a place that you feel safe within
This is a church of lost souls
You're one of the [b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b][b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b][b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b][b][color=red]- PLEASE REPORT ME FOR SWEARING!!! -[/color][/b]ed
You can't escape your demons
These people hold cleanliness
You hold nothing in empty hands
The door of this morbid place opens
But as you run for escape
Someone roughly grabs your shoulder
"No. Stay a while. Watch the candles."

[REVENGE]

Fault Of Conscience

I breathe in
Excitement
Fascination
The sky is raining pieces of my soul
And this is all it knows

I exhale
Smiling
My conscious breathing
The sky is raining pieces of my soul
And this is all it knows

I close my eyes
Pseudo thoughts disclosed
Friendly facade gone
The sky is raining pieces of my soul
And this is all it knows

I fall down
Heart hung up
Lungs strained
The sky is raining pieces of my soul
And this is all it knows

I'm falling away now
Six feet under
Hands cold
It's raining pieces of my soul
And this is all it will ever know.

Good, but is the third line meant to be fascination?

Any chance of something that isn't related to death? :P

And probably not. x)

It's ok. 5/10 because everything you write makes me feel like I'm emo.

P.S. No offense, but your avatars scare me.:O I don't have to see horror movies anymore.

I wouldn't mind something happy, but it is good, well written poetry.

Thank you for the rating - but, do you really know what you're saying when you refer to feeling "emo"? Poetry is a very emotional medium, and as far as I'm concerned, if I make you feel "emo" then I'm doing it correctly.

I don't choose my avatars to please others, I choose them according to my own liking. If they offend you, you could always simply avoid my postings.

That's not the emotion I'm talking about you silly willy.

By emotion I mean-Anger, Sorrow, Hilarity (+10 Vocab Points), or Wonder.

Much Too Late

Advice from a foreign candle
Burning dark and steady
Telling you of pseudo morals
Long forgotten thoughts of far away
Teachings of a lost land
You're forever in debt
Forever lost and scarred
Broken hymen of the royals
Tears falling, staining
Let the metal rip away the living flesh
So that it may breathe no more
Take the life you formed in moans
Smiling, let it die
What do you care,
False masque of death?
You only walk away
The bone a'breaking
Girls a'screaming
Eyes a'bleeding
Nothing matters here
For this is only a dream
You'll awake one day,
At least this is your final hope
Maybe you'll land in a field of orchids
Where they eat at your flesh and laugh steadily
They'll eat away at you along with the guilt
You remember, don't you?
Oh yes.
The noose you placed about the neck
Of the unborn child
You knew you would bare it
Yet you did not heal, nor care, nor stop
You placed the noose around its neck
Pulled the cord tightly
Relishing the soft nonexistant snap
Advice from a foreign candle
It will burn on in the night
Wax running and drying,
Then melting again
Trying to help you understand
The forgotten moral of your sins
The wax will dry upon your skin
Tighting like the noose until your skin breaks
Blood, it flows
You understand now, don't you?
But it's much too late for that...

[Freebee93]

I love that one LinZee keep it up.

[REVENGE]

Catching Daylight
The darkness fades away to light
Giving birth to new hope and life
The fire slowly comforts
Rather than burns
The healed,
I catch my breath at every sound,
The footsteps of souls echo
And the shadows smile instead of glare
As I press my lips gently against the snow
Your shadow is all that I need,
Stitch us once more to our souls
For they've lost their way,
They've gone astray from us
Thinking that they knew the way
To the salvation less spoken of,
But won't you take my failing hand
And use it to catch the falling daylight
The snow
The rain
The beauty of another day spent with you?

[Frozen Angel]

Lindseyyy, you're my idol!!!

[REVENGE]

Lindseyyy, you're my idol!!!

Ahw, thanks dear. :] That made me smile.

[Frozen Angel]

Ahw, thanks dear. :] That made me smile.

^^

Cool, another rare, momentary smile. Pity there wasn't a camera there...

[WHOA dude.]

Including the emotion "God this stuff is crap"?

I wouldn't mind something happy, but it is good, well written poetry.

Yes, something that would be happy would be nice. You can't live your life depressed, I'm *not* afraid.

[Frozen Angel]

Yes, something that would be happy would be nice. You can't live your life depressed, I'm *not* afraid.

It's the style. There's nothing wrong in depressing writing but I guess different people just have differing opinions. Since Lindsey is more comfortable writing such pieces, she should continue pursuing her talent in that area and I think her writing is beautiful. But anyway, I would say it would not be a problem for her to write a not-so-depressing piece of writing for a change to suit your taste. She's such a great writer lol.

Keep it up, REVENGE!!!

[REVENGE]

The History & Future Of Mankind
Don't ever underestimate the power of opinion,
The power of someone's driving insanity
Can change millions of lives and alter the course of time,
I could stab everyone in the back and laugh,
I could take a gun and hold it to someone's head
Asking them if they believed in God,
I could tear your mind to shreds
Using only false words and a few music notes,
I could dig in deep with the nails of tradition
And force you to believe what I'm afraid to believe in alone,
I could fool you into killing those you loved without mind
Or question, you'd be unable to think for yourself any longer,
I could lead the nation into revolution
To change the face of government & society,
I could lead the world into mass genocide
& they'd only smile with empty eyes,
I could kill all the f---ing unborn children of the world,
I could threaten with nuclear weapons
& tear families apart through fear,
I could kill all those who aren't perfect in my eyes
And lead nations into the Holocaust,
I could see your face in the reflection of a generation
Wondering what you can do to fix what I've created,
I could play God and strive to know everything
& then end the world in fire and ice,
We could play follow the leader
& you could do as I do not consciously seeing the result of your actions,
I could smile in the light reflected from the dying flames
That would symbolize the loss of all humanity's existence,
I could make them cry at night and bleed for a cause they don't believe in,
I could be exactly like you.

[Frozen Angel]

Haunting and chilling.
Another quality piece of poetry.

[Dannyboy]

I like your new poem, it can really hit home to the readers. Glad to see you're still writing. :)

[REVENGE]

Bliss

If stars could weep
They'd scream your name aloud
To share it with the world
And then let the rain pour down in sheets

Let me hold your face
And wipe the rain away
We'll listen to the melody of thunder
And forget the broken past

If I should die
Let it be in your arms
Where you'll smile down upon me
And the fear will melt away.

[Dannyboy]

Aww, this poem made me smile and feel a little sad at the same time. :)
