Last line is ouch. Nice.







Wouldst thou trade away
A world of endless day

And delve into the deepest night
to soar above the skies?

The blight? The endless white
seas of marred bliss?

Rapture unending?
Perfect silence?

The night is very cold.  

[Dathu]

"Quiet Plea"

I see my home and loves divided

on one thing that can not be decided

so million will simply fall and lie dead

seas of crimson for myth and lore.

Am I safe in a foreign crowd

with a mind ashamed to be this proud

for one would not dare say aloud

what those millions had died for?

The sun has risen, a time for wake

knowled has become fruit and cake

clear descisions one can make

please see it, I do implore.

Just wrote it to contribute.

Nice....I like how the lyrics flow....it goes with the title well.

Why Ouch?

I like your poem as well. It is very interesting and abstract in a good way.

 

[DivideByZero14]

Glowing

the light flowed through his every cell
it's bright as day, it's loud as a yell
yet no one sees its gossamer strands
reaching out like grasping hands

they find an ear, they slip right in
searching for a good way in
inside, they look not for chatter
not for an idiot's constant patter

they look for an underfed bulb of doubt
festering, not ready to sprout
they clean it up, they give it food
take it out of its dark seclude

Suddenly, I begin to doubt
What my life's been all about
I worship nothing true or real
My painted fantasies start to peel

And it is then I truly see
The pure light splaying off of me.
It spreads to others, carries the word;
My true message shall be heard.

The light I wrangle, that I control,
Is nothing less than all my soul.
To the stupid and uncouth,
It will ferry all the truth.

and i'm glowing



'Twas a spur of the moment thing; constructive criticism is much appreciated. My inspiration was the way Neo saw the world after he'd been blinded (in Revolutions).

addseale2,
I liked this poem. It captures a lot, yet is very short, and the frequent question marks emphasize the fact that only the last line is a statement.

Dathu,
I love the contrast between the two worlds--I hope one day we can see the sun rising like that.

Sanguvixen,
I'm pretty sure that addseale2 is referring to the last line of your "My Fantasy and Your Fantasy": "Go fix yourself theistic worm." That line is quite an ouch.

Beautiful poem! heart heart heart

 

[Sanguvixen]

"Go fix yourself theistic worm" is meant to be a challange to those who are intent on converting others. It is just that part where I throw down a challange to the opposition.

They are bold enough to walk up to a person's home after being told not come back again. They are bold enough to go over to other countries and stirr up trouble. They are bold enough to lie, and manipulate in order to get followers.

Are they bold enough to fix themselves?

I keep looking at it and realize how strong of a line is. It would make a nice banner maybe...just those words. At the same time...some people might find it offensive. I don't know...

Strong? Yes. Offensive? Yes. Awesome? Even more so. I don't think it needs to be changed; it's got the perfect sentiment.

Yay! Someone likes it!

I haven't written anything in forever, but I guess I could put old stuff up. Don't really want to though.
I like very different styles of poetry, although I still know I'm not as well versed (pardon the pun) on the subject as I could be.

"Lost and Found."

How that I came here

as yet is unknown.

A path hard beaten

from winds that have blown.

Did I come here to see

the trick to the show?

I felt just like lightning

with a straightening blow.

Surrounded by riddles

with the answer in sight.

It shines like a needle

in a hay stack of night.

You are now forced! Co'mont! Or face my fury! mrgreen

Sanguvixen, that first poem is just so beautiful heart

I like the other one, too.

DivideByZero14, I love 'Glowing'- it really has meaning, because it's based on physical things- love the description of 'gossamer'

Sorry to disappoint, but edits don't really help unless they actually add content. Divide's edit just pretty much acknowledged it was spam.
Things like that aren't so bad though. It's when people reply to discussions with emoticons. o.x

@Dathu- xD Can I just say everyone's awesome?
