Thread: write a poem that expresses your thoughts and feelings

Thank you Amedee!

i see galaxies,
i see galaxies in the room,
in every door i open,
in every passing moon,
i see galaxies in my coffee,
i see galaxies in my food,
but in the face of civilization,
all i see is flesh... and the power it holds.

My twin brother lost his dog yesterday. He rescued her from abusive owners while she was still too small to be away from her mom. They both suffered from anxiety and were incomplete when they were seperated. She was 6 years old and her name was Daisy.

When tomorrow starts without me,
And you feel the distance apart,
And the day is cold and the wind blows free,
I'll still be safe within your heart.
The days went by too soon,
And every one was the best,
Now, in the warmth of my noon,
I have found my rest.
For once, I'm not here to ease your strife,
So remember when tomorrow shines,
You cannot have me your whole life,
But I loved you every moment of mine.

A good day
A bad day
Which to choose
I'd rather have a good day
But perhaps a day could be both
A good day makes me realize the possibilities
A bad day however distracts me
I choose good days
........
They say I take things too personally
And I am learning to not take things so
Its hard cause I care too much
But now I've got to let matters go
This new perspective should make things easier
I surely hope

The tide recedes to reveal a sand castle,
It begins to grow, ascending its reach above the clouds.
The wet sand once formless, now towers above the sky.

All that was can be seen, all that is can be felt.
The tides swell and begin to melt the sand castle to nothing.
It returns to the deep, leaving no remains.

the sound inside his head was the ringing in his ears,
a long trek forward,
dreams die in handfuls,
is this a cruel joke?
move on said the echoes of a thought,
trees ablaze on windy storms,
crows cry, critters hide,
the pain will swallow whole,
at further reaches came the pull,
the ringing in his ears,
the ringing melts, the ringing grows,
silence moves in shadows of a doubt,
leading him, his fight to live,
to earth and skies unknown,
to certainty alone.

Maybe the reason I don't remember often
Nightmarescapes abide
Next time I find myself feeling powerful within
I'll change the darkness into something beautiful
The monsters I face
Will turn into beautiful creatures
When I face up to my fears
Within tonight's dreams

Lucid or dazed dreaming or awake
Today tonight I will stand up and face my demons
My life is at stake
I will cajole I will lure what ever it takes
Resolve ,passion for life compelling me to fight
This pessimistic feeling that's pushing me into an abyss
I won't go down I will wake up to a new day where sunshine
Will fill my eyes will elevate my spirit I will be free again
I will see flowers anywhere and everywhere
White pink blue
That's the colors I want to wake up to
I wll leave the black the grey in that abyss where
I was leaving everyday
How could I have missed the singing of the birds
The laughs of children the dawn of a beautiful sunny day
I'm a born again
I will smile I will Danse my feet will be so light
That I would compete birds in the sky!
I will triumph I will just be carefree audacious me!

Fuck people who make me feel inferior
I have a life to live
I can't smile at you?
What's your deal?
You know what I don't care about certain people anymore
I've got a life to live without the people who make me feel inferior

They prey on gullible minds like mine
Time and time again I fall for them
They're greedy bastards!
I've learned my lesson for the last time
And they're going to learn something
Not to think they can trick me again!

ONEiROER ,feeling inferior feeling superior
There's nothing to gain
Leave it for people who are so vain
You must be on the road for fame
You fooled they can't hide their pain
Make them suffer make a name
ONEiROER don't play their games
Keep your head up don't fall for them
Don't let them fool you or trick you again!

When your thoughts are so loud
And they over power your mind
Don't take things to the heart anymore
There comes a time when being too nice dosn't work anymore
Brave up and tell people how it is
For your sake

I really liked that Amedee thank you!

I'm tired of acting up
I'm tired of saying I'm okay when all I feel is pain
My heart is so heavy I can feel it weeping inside of me
I can't show my pain I will have to explain...
They look deep in my eyes searching probing am I still their savior
I'm not allowed to cry ,they only want to see me smile
I wait for them to leave I drop to my knees
I shout I cry all my tears
Try to find a smile for another day that's what they desire
My heartache my misery it's not for them to see
Have I ? Forgotten to cook a meal?
Have I ? Forgotten to mend a shirt?
Forgotten a birthday what a shame!
And above all have I forgotten to smile!
Am I allowed to say it has been a long day!

All my friends are at dead ends,
I shout to them,
“Get up, get out and join me for a journey!”
Nonchalantly they gaze, watching passing days.
You climb mountains with your mind and fingers,
But your body never came close.
To leave the physical sphere and to live in that world,
That world of light and pixels.
To me, the grass is greener here,
But the fence is so high, how could they even know?

A little annoyed at how my friends have lost their sense of adventure they just game or get drunk and don't want to do anything new. Oh well, life moves on aye ^_^

"You climb mountains with your mind and fingers,
But your body never came close" <--- this is actually a quote that I really like. It's from shia labeoufs 'just do it' video

This night I wander with no direction.
Perhaps I’ll find myself amongst
Familiar scenery and a meaningless conversation,
Enjoying my halcyon days.
Or perhaps in the lap of the unexpected,
I’ll venture to the stars.


I was just thinking about a quote I heard, "familiar scenery and a meaningless conversation" and it seemed like such a nice thing . As I decided to write a poem around it I was thinking about my dreams last night, and I liked how amazing things can happen so unexpectedly

why do they fight
they care about themselves
love is meant to be more
dreams die
but are reborn
peace in this world is dying
its up to us to bring peace
back to life

With my heart is all busted, this curse took it's toll.
The horrible dream continues but, I've no control.
Why do you care how I feel! Have you had a dream where your face peeled?
I'm invisible and that were I shell stay, so, now just go away. Have you ever been stalked? I didn't think so!! So please do not mock.

The ocean of creation sends up a foamy spray
setting in motion a miriad of sparkling galaxies to play
A stream of thoughts like bubbles bloated from euphoria come streaming from my mind
pulsing, blending, scattered following their brothers and sisters and infinite others of their kind
while inside all is quiet, all is still
Sitting naked a top a lowly hill
I look surveying all around
The wakeful the restless and the lost and found
The clouds above are whipped by a dark brooding storm of perilous emotions
unperturbed and crawing softly, birds furtively nest ignoring such comotions
while below under my tree all is quiet, all is humble, all is well
like the sea of time through eternity below the swell

Beautiful and haunting imagery!

Thank you, I am touched by your kind words, fellow poet

I am a ghost
cause no one responds
when i need them
this ghost
is going to show the world
what he can do
on his own

I keep falling asleep
but I never wake up.
Sometimes I wonder
why that is and I
come to the conclusion
that it's nicer to sleep.

I'm sitting on the beach
I hear the sound of the waves inviting me
To become part of this mesmerizing sea
I plunge into the water forgetting who I'm
And who I want to be
I let myself float the waves caressing my body
Engulfing me into a state of lethargie
Oblivion of the world and all evil entities
I'm one with the sea I'm in heaven I feel humble
Pure joy real extasie!
I look up at the sky and all is blue all is beautiful
They're welcoming me comforting me I'm no intruder
I'm part of this grandiose creation
Purity and beauty surrounding me
I won't go back to the beach!
I will float forever I will let the waves take control
Of my body and my soul !
