Thread: I guess I should show some poems

Fresh out of the kitchen. This girl has me NUTS

I feel I could fight an army
Before noon then do my laundry
Climb to Heaven by late evening
And bring you back the key to eden

I think I could slay a dragon
with bare hands then jump a canyon
Take a dive, explore the seas
Hold my breath with greatest ease

I bet I could ride a comet
As easy as I write this sonnet
Aim it so it hits the moon
To ignite the twilight skies of june

For you could I save the planet?
Get the damsel, beat the bandit?
Jump a plane without a chute
Survive my sky to ground commute?

For you could I stop all war?
Reign in peace forever more?
Stand up for all the hopeless men?
And call the evil ones my friends?

With you I could go to space
All I'd need is your embrace
And I'd fly off to find new worlds
If you called yourself my girl

With you I can face my fate
Handle all placed on my plate
You are the best I ever saw
With you my problems seem so small

But without you I am nothing
I cant go on without your blessing
I cant be who I was before
I've dropped the past and locked the door

I wouldn't even have a name
This one wouldn't fill my shame
I'm far too proud to ever let it
Now that you looked at me and said it

Verse 1
When this life is over can I try it again
Erase my mistakes and crawl into some new skin
And then maybe next time I'd know how to begin
Know not to wobble and know not to sin
And I would know the difference between real and pretend
Maybe then I'd know who's really my friend

Chorus

And I had schemes and dreams and even Kings on my side
It wouldn't hold the gold unfolded, molded and dried
Could someone talk to God and drop me off a reply?
I wasn't dealt the help I felt would weld down my life

Verse 2

I wish I knew the rules but I screwed everything up
Tried to roll my way through life but then I got stuck
The wheel was spinning but the hamster was drunk
By the time I realized I had already sunk
My face was vacant when I watched the mountain erupt
I guess sometimes you need little bit more than luck

Chorus

Verse 3

I wish that they made indestructable strings
So I could tie them around just a couple of things
I wish someone would give me some special keys
That would unlock the door that could make time freeze
I wish someone would give me some magic beans
So I could climb the distance between you and me

I love your stuff..you have a way with words.
Please keep posting!

This one isn't done yet cause I still need a chorus. I like it thought because I'm not just writing to write, every single line is connected to a specific memory.

What's yours

You get long walks out in the cold when selfish drivers fill the road
You get all of the words with Y in Spanish that you don't say right
You get the residue the jetplanes leave that line the sky with silver strings
You get every single thing you've said, it's all recycled through my head

(chorus would go here)

You get dough that's fried into a ring, draped in glaze and stuffed with cream
You get small mistakes that take us to all the places great to view
You get nuget, caramel, chocolate bars so please give them my top regards
You get rainbows that I don't ascend and the world that's over them

You get a guy that's in a hole so deep he can't climb out but won't retreat
You get a mind that wears you like a glove and a heart that can't let go of love
You get everything I think about that causes me to scream aloud
You get every single dream I've had that makes my mornings feel so bad

Someone else should tell me what they think.

I really like your poetry, very unique and not what ive seen or am acostom to. The flow is great, and the wording for your third post is a bit off.. but thats just me probably.

This was such a complicated poem I just did it in free verse. it's not finished yet, either. In fact, nothing I write is ever finished. If I find some more in my computer I'll add them, too.

If we are the experiencers
Then is the experience just space and energy held in place by chemistry
Is life created randomly through a cosmic happening
When separate things act solidly through something called biology?

If a butterfly can make a violent sky half a world away
Because the currents it creates began to fluxuate
And a hundred dozen cousins help to operate
The oxygen as it begins to flow itself
Becoming strung together consciousness
Then are there a billion little variables unknown to the narrators
Working underneath the scene to make everything we see
Transforming tears to tidal waves and smiles into new-born babes?

If one day a tree can cave over deceased in the forest
But nobody's come around there that day to record it
Except for the ground that it found to absorb it
And the shrubs and the bugs who've all come to explore it
Then maybe the experience can take the reigns they call chaos
So a billion little variables unknown to the narractors
Can work together as an army filling life with harmony

If we are nothing but a coupling in a melody
In a giant song that takes so long it's called eternity
Then a tree will look just like a tree until there's no one there to see
A million billion subtleties that give us everything we need
And sometimes even what we dream

And then somehow it blows it, when we notice for a moment
The universe might have a mind and a plan laid out of some kind
And we know we're in its company when we feel this thing we call beauty

- Also this -

I wrote this poem to make you happy
Because I decided that's all I care about
When you're ecstatic to your bones
I feel it doubly so

I hope that this can make you happy
Cause I decided I can't stand it when your down
When there's displeasure in your soul
I feel it doubly so

And I always feel so god damned happy
Whenever we're together and you laugh out loud
So laugh for reasons that you don't know
I feel it doubly so

And let the little things be at peace
Because I always know when you're upset now
And when something's not in your control
I feel it doubly so

And don't get caught in tragic gravity
Where air feels like it can make you drown
Or I would have to follow you below
And feel it doubly so

Have how ever many people that you need
Use me in any way that you can dream how
Maybe some day you'll need me alone
I'll love you doubly so

And this:

If you


If you sell pieces of your humanity

Pass them off as your currency

And rap them up for the black market

While the world sulks in a crude casket


If your fame is airborne on blazing wings

Rocketed out to space leaving smoke rings

That linger on to masticate the ozone

While you live up and above all alone


If you make people tremble in fear

Of losing their families and all they hold dear

Enslaving villages with the army of Nike

And with your axe try to strike at their psyche


If you breed death in your giant factories

While sitting down and sipping Peach daiquiris

Acting like you never did nothing wrong

Paying your parrots to keep singing that song


If you regret nothing and enjoy every ounce

Of pain you have caused so you can trounce

Then remember this one sole simple line

You are an enemy of mine

And this:

For Tomorrow


Heaven is a struggle

A drop of your blood hitting pavement

A cramp from your shoulders burden

Its when, for a lifetime, you bite your lip

You try to ignore the pain, to keep going

You hold onto your hope

You keep your fist up

While torment haunts your every turn


Heaven is a place

A solitary grave in Nowhere

A giant globe on your back

Its when, for eternity, you are a pedestal

Even your corpse holds the position

You keep it mounted

Without your endurance

It would fall to the ground and shatter


Heaven is a sunset

Over a golden woods

From eyes of your children

They watch their precious, thriving forest

Where the birds sing and the rivers dance

Where life breathes through the very lips

That holds your kiss

Divine Fall


Every line was checked and doubled

Every hook pulled and tightened

My equipment will cause no trouble

And yet I am severely frightened

My bodys tension is not subtle

And my heart beat quickly heightens

I only hope I have the mettle

I only hope my nerve wont lighten


Eyes of mine watch the shadows

Graze upon the black abyss

Oh you sweet and gorgeous tableau

Oh you vixen, lay your kiss

May all my crude, blackened blood flow

May all my sounds be one queer hiss

May my true prideful spirit glow

And write its name upon Deaths list


Dive for treasure or for meaning

Fly for one last piece of hope

Dive forever and without reason

Fly so that I may float

Master fear and conquer treason

Of my bodys quaking coat

Lose the shackles, gain true freedom

Until the tension takes the rope


Not for now and never more

I will not end this at Ballade

It is my future I deplore

Oh Sir Time please send your nod

And freeze this place forevermore

Before my rope begins to prod

Please do not let me see the floor

Right now Im busy touching God
