Relay
Time races on
to grant our feet metals
contemplating ice
Light in motion
As life goes on the metal is scarred
every piece grows insignificant
with age there comes a quickness
in the time spent on soul
To those who grow wearied by passing
time injures
With a fury and vengence
No quiver can hinder
Succumb to the heart
forget the past
sand on the beach
takes too long to replace
Heal
The days have a funny way of traveling.
Up the throat
Through your teeth
In the expression of a sigh,
that waivers summer reeds
The ability to heal is granted to time
which races along to reach far galaxies,
and yet healing
comes so slowly
time corrodes our bones
and hearts, ti’ll none are left but weary souls
who should heal the faithless
Tell me, wind, who plays your solemn song
Tell me, earth, when does time plan you to die
Tell me, soul, has thou kept faith in hand?
To endure this encroaching healing
too long and too far it is flung from us to grasp in unstretched hand
we reach without taking and lose the best of what we might have had
to stand in pitiable silence head down hearts empty
to await the final stroke of fate
and leave alone to join the multitudes
Wow, even that was beautiful
Dark Wings
Dear Kin,
float on in the dreams of the Nile
Rehearse the wind’s song
Fly upon wings in the morning
I remember our walking,
lonesome though it was
Splendid glee shone through your smile
Upon the rising of the sun through wings
I write to you to ask you something
When?
It was a long march up the hill
Escalading through the clouds, the wings spiral downward
The shade of the trees in the summer
Or the shade of the clouds, a grey darkness
That brought us comfort through the heat
but no comfort for grounded wings
Now the sun sets upon us
A new dawn will rise
For now the darkness rises,
When will I spread dark wings?
The Quake
I peered down at the desk
beige ignorance, reflection of anxiety
I twist my hand,
such folly there is in trembling
I steady my voice,
The tide has come to rise
I QwEl the FiRes
tremling in the earth
Unsteady, a CLaSh of DeSinI
Whereso lies the quake
Mist
I remember when we walked through the mist
The ocean spray cool against my cheek
And you smiling through the cold
bitterness nipping at the ears
I remember when we talked through the mist
the crowd rose high in the tide
faces dillusional
a canvas of eyes, dominant, shy, and glee
And once when i rembered
that walk through silent spring
blossoms that dawn upon your arrival
you take your place as king
And through the mist the long time you sang
the bitterness of love and home
and when it came you called and rang
The trap, it came, a lonesome dome
The bitterness came with the breeze
the rules it did not abide
for when it came but not with trees
It protruded to the tide
And now i remember why you died
The words they were the same
For when you smiled you meant a lie
the sea, the song, the mist, it came
Echoes of no sound reverberate within the confined space
Wherein the question lingers unanswered asked but unheard.
The roar of disregard, removed attention
To split the silence of solitary oneness.
Look within and see the cause, without: no utterance complete
Could staunch the soul’s regret at having stayed to wait.
Shall light and darkness play upon the stage of life
To share a spotlight widened in the growing glare?
Or shadow overtake the wanton wisdom forsaken in the
aftermath of sought unity of mind?
No fear arises, no regret when turned away to face the
Dawning beams of ever growing light, of everwelcoming joy.
The night passes into breaking morn to lift the Spirit and
Turn the weeping aside for another day.
Ten Great Things
There are ten great things in life,
all which have a price
the deathly vows
the ones you love
One: The light of the dawn
Two: The days of the fawn
And in our waiting hour
We paint faces of finger and flower
Three: A memory of everlasting light
Four: A love cherished with undying delight
And near the mulberry the birds did sing
The summer night, the diamond ring
Five: To see the grace unclouded
six: No worries or fears, all shrouded
And thus you have nothing to lose
live your life so much as you chose
Seven:To sit down at yonder pool
Eight: A step in the ocean, the breeze, the cool
And though the sun does set in time
The hour it sets, the day was fine
Nine:The journey alone to seek the truth
Ten: Writing a poem in a token booth
And though the motor of the fan ran out
you read it aloud, and know what you’re about
Gift
Unfurled wings spread wide aloft the cerulean bliss
Fly free unfettered from one beginning to the next
Soar and taste the wind before you
Fill your heart with the song of Heaven
Look back only to beckon others join
Seek the future with appetite for myriad adventures
Waiting to encase you in encounter of exploits yet undreamed
Taking friend and custom for comfort and guide
No lack of sustenance or treasure find
Cherished moments spent in quiet solitude or tumultuous array
Where each new thought follows each new deed
And resting in the final answer
You find your home at last
WOW. You have left me speechless :O
Detachment
Bend the will, bend and force it down
Break it if needs must to mend the broken despair of disappointment
Shatter the intention
Crush the concern
Temper the mind to conform to the rigidity of disconnection
Remove concern and compassion until steel hard cold distain
Courses the veins and fills the lungs as breath of solitary confinement
Turn away
Look no more on that which fascinates
It is only an illusion inconsequential, unheeding
Never more than a shadow to darken the reality of now
Only in separation
Only in detachment
The dissolution of soul from soul
Only then the peace
Only then the quiet
Only then the cessation of screaming convictions
The end of self
The synthesis of the void
Japan 1603 a boy named Sasuke was born his parents died when he was two. After that he went to live with his grandmother for eight years till she passed away. No money nothing was left for him he had no choice but to live on the streets. He always wondered “why was i born what is the meaning for me to live”. People never treated him right when ever he got close to them in the streets they would push him away for the fear of getting their money stolen. He hated the thought of begging but he had no choice he had to do whatever it took to survive. He often thought of ending his life but somehow all the time at the last second he would would stop himself he could never find out why. 7 years later he was walking the streets and someone caught his attention he went up to the man and asked him why do you Cary a weapon, the man responded “I am a bounty hunter i hunt people that have done really bad things i bring justice to the weak. Sasuke loved the thought of being a bounty hunter and bringing justice to the weak. He asked the bounty hunter another question, “what does it take to become a bounty hunter” the man responded skill, guts and a katana. That’s when sasuke knew what he wanted to do with his life become a bounty hunter. Sasuke saved up all the money he got from begging and doing hard tasks, till he had enough money to buy his katana. He was so happy he trained for months till he knew that he was ready for the job of bounty hunting at the age of seventeen. He went to the bounty shop were he looked for missions. Sasuke found one in particular it caught his eye, The paper read the following, four bandits have been know to have rapped 6 women they are well skilled so watch out. Sasuke was furious he knew he had to acomplishe this mission. He cared less for the money he just wanted to kill those disgusting men. It took him three days to gather up clues,but while he keeped on gathering clues, he heard men’s laughs then to his horror he heard a womens cry,so he sneaked closer and to his horror he saw a women about to be rapped. Sasuke lost control he rushed forward and cut down two of the bandits with ease. The reamaining two bandits were suprized but Sasuke didth stop and he killed the third slashed him in half. The fourth bandit was horrified he asked Sasuke for mercy but without hesitation Sasuke cut him down. He went up to the the girl and told her to get dressed. While she dressed he went to take some evidence from the bandits body so he could show that he actually completed the bounty. Sasuke was getting evidence from the third when all of a sudden with his right eye he saw movement what he saw suprized him a whole lot the fourth bandit was still alive but barely he was holding a dagger and he was pointing it at the girl that was still dressing without hesitation the bandit threw the knife as hard as he could to her with his last strenght. Sasuke without thinking threw himself infront of the girl as fast as he could instead of her getting hit he got hit and in a vital spot.she was holding him close and asked him, why did you save my life, he responded,”what is your name”, then she responded “you did not answer my question. Tears running down her eyes she kepped on asking him until he finally responded, “My life is worth nothing compared to your’s you have a family that loves you, i dont want them to feel like i did when i was a kid so please dont worry about me and my worthless life i am just better of dead. She ran as fast as she could to the nearby village to get help. But when she got back to Sasuke he was already dead still holding tight to his katana. Author: Horacio diaz villanueva

Grace
Walk upon the stars tiptoe through the night skies
Enveloped in their velvet embrace
Pierced through by the beauty of jeweled glimmering grace
Take the Moon’s hand and guide, follow that path
Wandering past darkling portal closed to hope
Ride the North Wind’s bounding back to reach the farthest shore
Where is found want nor need nor desperate dream no more
Here waits rest, solace for wearied soul, too tired to cope
Balm for spirit flagging in the murky mire of mendacity
Caught unaware before fully fledged
To take wing to soar above acceptance of stifling burdens
Too enticing to relinquish for passion’s pursuit
Here may all cares be released
Here may all disappointment cease
Here may all wrongs be unwrought
Till the intercessing strength unowned
Be brought to bear you up and right your path
To walk beside you and lend comfort when none is to be found
Unasked, unbidden, yet ever steadfast
Waiting ever waiting and willing to be found
The sky so clean so magnificent
The sky so rich of endless clouds
The sky so wild filled with soaring birds
The sky so lovely at mid day
The sky so enticing when you take a look at it
The sky endless freedom
The sky the beutifull sky
The Cause
There was a hopeless cause
The pursuit to find myself
But lost i was in the mists of the room
Eyes peering from every corner, but no one was there.
They scrutinized my tears
ti’ll nothing came but shadow
The stars, they will fade
Here they do not dare to hope
It seems that every corner is a home
And every home is shrouded in darkness
And every darkness covers the rest of me
Enveloped in a sea of shrouds
I look at the streets
The darkness closing in about you
A helpless soul
He would join you in the room, but
He has a room of his own
And in this lost cause to find myself
I remember when it wasn’t so dark
Giddy turned the clock
A feeling of anticipation arising
For something remembered
When glancing ahead the darkness does not seem to fade
And only before me do I remember light
But when the clock does turn some more
It will bring light to the footsteps behind me
btw…great poems. Horacio, I didn’t know you wrote poetry, lol. I think I know why you like the sky so much now, haha. And V, I am continually surprised by your encroachments upon perfection : )
Bitter Sweet
I walk through the corridors of an empty hall
And see them two, their faces I do so laugh at
Laughing with them, they disapate in the shadows,
and I wonder where the sight had gone
One, I wonder
If we had been in same ties
What memories we might have had
This bitter sweet pain when i think about it
The other, not times
But times yet to come, and I feel it
That one day paths may cross
Will more faces come to fade?
And in the shade
Feeling alone for a decade
What times we had made
The bricks we could have laid
In this world so bitter sweet
The Rose
Unmistaken for a rose
Its petals all around
An inward spiral sending darkness that grows
Faces that cannot be found
In the dark i see their faces
The weary, the sick, the dream
the light the weary chases
and a star, never a gleam
And here i think about my pain
For in this world there is only shame
And then i think again, my pain
From others only, what then my pain
And ever aching the door does close
on the face of that swirling rose
And under the shadows of its dark red petals
I die
wow very nice chris both of them…you stole my corazon..
My Affection/Affliction
In the day and after night
I really hate you
With hands around your throat
I see your bloodshot eyes
How deep is your soul
As deep as your veins?
The needle pierces skin
Just like it always does
With hands around your throat
I know I hate you
Contempt and sin
This saddning craze
And when I die
I will forgive you
And look you in the eye
Hope God forgives me too
wollowing in pain
From when you stabbed me
This blade like a needle..
just like it always does
And when the day comes you die
I will be relieved from you
Will be relieved of you
Will be relieved from you
and join my
God
The Collision
Smiles echoe in the corridor of my mind
Set loose a bomb
When metal and steel came crashing inwards
And death struck my eye
Driving along I was distraught
No sense of feeling
Numbness
And bleeding
A flick of the neck
A swerve,
A jerk
My eye caught the collision
Steel whining
I remember fond embrace by the sea
Metal Churning
The meadow was so quiet
The scrap of metal in my eye
made me blind to all but those fondest memories
And still the world was spinning
As did before my heart was churning
Tossed around, and crumpled like a can
But inside was not a scream
I saw the tear in your eye when you finally turned to face me
I saw the ocean near you, the sun in the distance
I saw the stars light above you
I saw my neck bend and bend with the only eye I had
Upside down
Like those times I didn’t know what to do
And now and then we were both quiet
Patiently awaiting
The collision
wow
The Soul
By: HirenLOR
The soul is deep
It breathes in the glass
that encompasses the world
A dark glimmer on the razor’s edge
Within every soul there is a tear
And within every eye a hint of fear
A glazed expression on the dead face
A love between people gone with no trace
Within the soul there is light, there is shadow
A stormy breeze through the window
A haunting moonlight
Creeping in the mist
The loud scream from within the room
Arms around her to shield the glass
Piercing skin like beak and nail
Dazed and confused she follows the bloody trail
To find that not the glass in skin
But within they eye pieces so thin
And so she screams, they eye black as coal
And so his tear falls,
Deep within the soul
Faster
By: Hirenlor
The moon is fading,
faster now
The dawn sinks lower in the tide
The ocean drowing in a sea of sorrows
The darkness closing in,
faster now
These perplexities spin
Around and around
whispers in the shadows
faster now
A collision on the street
A girls body thrown in the stands
A womans screams of peril
faster now
The demon of the night
His blanket spread
covers your breathing
faster now
No repairs, no help
nothing to stop the bleeding
Pain churning within you
faster now
In death, in love
the twilight holds nothing
Tangible though it seems
The ways to pierce our hearts
and sing songs of storms
and with the tornado about you
the calamity within
slower now
all goes still
Under the wave about to crash
If I Could Show You….
If I could show you what was in my mind
What would you think of me
If we lay by the shore, would you see the sky
what image in my eye
If I could show you my thoughts
How long would you linger there
If I could show you my dreams
For how long would your heart stop beating…
Grasses waving,
Our breaths taken by the wind
If I could show you my heart, I would dare you
See that
Try to look into my soul
If i could show you further, I would
But here I have not been shown
Witness to the Murder
I saw the desecration of the sky
The look in your eye
Standing before the abyss
About to fall
And the water took you
Below your heart kept sinking
Into the mire down below
The pain, but no blinking
Hands raised up to catch you
Extentions from the ground below
Soaking in the blood of scars
The walls of the water, dark as a crow
And in your pain you cut your limbs
Laid side by side the slain bodies
The mourning of our world
The debt from these fees
The rose, it cut
The tip of your finger
You cut your hand
The pain will linger
And now what may trigger
Your teary-eyed blinking
Is for you to do best
And keep on sinking
The Edge of Dawn
By: Hirenlor
Walk, don’t crawl
The dawn creeps ever closer
To stay behind one day and see
What happiness the day did bring
Chew Gum
By: Hirenlor
These walls around us
laughing and vomiting
A spiral staircase we trip and fall down
Light-headedness as we crash
Farther and farther
Into the smiles we yearn
Ti’ll the gum is gone
Daydream
By: Hirenlor
Mind adrift in the clouds
Forests venture upon new lands
And the filth that was you is gone
And here is thy shelter
Your nails dig into your cheek
To wake you from your contemplation,
Thoughts, dreams, bliss
And here does time quit
Like the mother with her baby
And here do thoughts fly
Like fists in a fight
And beneathe you there is nothing but sky
The floor tiles sink and crash below.
But you stay suspended
For here,
You have set sail.
UNMATCHED LOVE
Your eyes hypnotize my every move your velvet hair glimmers with the sun’s ray when i talk to you it lightens my day your walk your everything is perfect to my eyes i would love to hold you close to protect you from any harm i would treat you like a princess like all women should be treated i would follow you to the ends of the earth no matter what perils we came upon my love to you is UNMATCHED!
LIFE
life can be unfair
life is hard what you desire may not come true
life is a challenge filled with hardships
life cruel in many ways
life the beginning of something new
life drained away by the passing years
life filled with love and despair
life something very precious
life what a fateful end
By:Horacio diaz villanueva
Faint
By: Hirenlor
You were trapped between the window pane
When the breeze came in
It lifted the sheers in a vacuum
Devoid of all expression
Your face
Through the window
A shadow’s glace
Beneathe the tree
A solemn trance
And in the fortune
You made a mistake
For from this dream you did not wake
And to this day
I regret it now
Showing you my faint heart
And hearing your bellowing vow
“In the night I will fade
You will see me in the window
And not a shadow but the shade
I will be all that comes to fade”
I remember the words as I pierced your lips
To quiet the misery you did speak;
To kill the promise you did not keep
And now the breeze carries time
Little particles, visible like a breeze from the shore
And now its hard to see you, the saint
Through this window
A world so faint.
The Story of I
By: Hirenlor
I cry,
I pledge the world, I hate your people
I hate your taste
I hate your sense
When my tears fall,
They shatter,
Tiny pieces of glass
And these pieces you did catch
Cupped in the palm of your hand
You bled,
Then released a dove
And here I thought I was alone
Looking from behind the window
Their faces bright
Contemptuous smiles,
I hate
And now and then I heard you stop by
Your footprints in the sand
Looking behind at the calamity
Drowned by the sea
I wish I never met you
For what it was you saw in me
I could not see the same
And when I thought, at last, i’m blind
Your words, they never hurt me
Kill Me
By: Hirenlor
In the shadows, I hid my exsistence
From your ever persistence
You had a way of catching me
Creeping up way inside of me
Here I am sitting peaceful
And then you call,
Your sound rings my neck,
Cutting off my blood supply
I smile the next day
For these days now you cannot keep sorrow
Or then, you know, you have accomplished
Killing my exsistence
And when I thought, “aha, i’ve won”
You pulled the shadows once again
That covered the stars and shadowed the heavens
This blanket you suffocated me with
And under the sheet I saw a light
And there I was sitting beside her
And how it was then I could not explain
And then you remind me,
You’re all the same.
No Reply
Why I ask
But no answer comes
And I am left alone to ponder.
Thoughts fly free and fill my mind
With no solution or direction offered in their flight.
Why I demand
I must know the reason.
And still the silence surrounds me
Filtering the pain and channeling it inward
To wrap itself around the problem lying unsolved.
Why I repeat
But in the repetition
The question loses impetus
Stalled in myriad messages received
Unable to sort the shifting center of sorrow.
Why I weep
The tears coursing harsh
Rivulets racing down my cheek
And washing in their passing the comfort
Offered by every kindness shared or given me.
Why I beg
Falling there within
Crushed beneath the weight
And burden of the stone of doubt
Bleeding, dying, yielding bereft in surrender.
The Course
By: Hirenlor
The wind stroked your hair
Waving in the wind
You turned back a glance, a smile
Thats all I remember of you
And here I sit staring at the faces of the crowd
Dimensia
Shadows reaping the canvas
Green flowers in the grass
And your face was that of the crowd.
All that remained was that day
The sea in your lips
The forest in your cheek
My eyes in your heart.
Bombarded
By: Hirenlor
Here in the crowd
I am peaceful
Until your shadow dawns upon me
Encroaching my shadow
And the faces of the crowd grew pale
Scattered ghosts
Like white petals in the wind
Turning malicious against me
And in their scratching and biting
I saw you through the crowd
Flying farther and farther
Extend your hand to me
But I could not reach you in time
And the crowd did envelope me
And the abyss cracked your face and shattered
Like the tears down my face
And all then I could do was scream
And though my mouth was still intact
The air to breathe was no longer there
Pieces of my lungs deprive
You and me did not survive
Bombarded
PAIN
My body burns its so intense i try to put it out i splash myself with water but it still burns i walk but it still burns till i get tired of trying to put it out i sit the pain is to much but i take it the pain helps me forget my troubles the pain makes me forget all the bad things i have done i start loving the pain i want more but my body cant handle it i start to fade away my ashes get blown away by the wind in my last seconds of life i feel no regret toward the pain it made me forget!

The Haunting
By: Pistaccio
I turn away
A whisp
Afraid
The dawn grows ever closer
The shadows play
A hearts resolution
On my shoulder I feel
The ghosts’ cold clutch
These apparitions continue to follow
In the dreams I cannot escape
Powers so great,
transition into my body
Possessed, I cry
For unable am I to control myself
To change myself
These ghosts never leave my side
Drowsy
By: Hirenlor
Wrapping my head around a concept
Lets talk she says
One rule that changes:
stay awake
Let’s define that, she says,
a linear expression
that my face contains,
dreaming of flying out the window
And and example would be
who will save me?
I’m under attack
by linear inequality
Let’s find the solution
all that apply…
multiplying, dividing?
No, I must die
M’aidez
Removed from within
Thrust to the outer
Choice made
No choice
Just needing to make it so
The greater good, the aching eased
By just the sound of listening
Reveal the torment
Lay wide the desperate need
To be understood
To be heard
To be regarded
To be
The storm boiling, over-spilling the heart
And smashing into the breath taken
But not exhaled
Waiting for the change
Waiting for the calm
Waiting for the respite from chaos,
Uncertainty,
Rejection.
Taking solace in the comfort extended
One to one
Friend to friend
I cannot
By Hirenlor
I cannot give you the peace you seek
I cannot give you the solace you peek
I cannot give you the love to bind
I cannot leave it all behind
In your shelter you are confused
In your heart you feel abused
Torment coming from all around
In this grief you are ever bound
I cannot hear you when you plea
I cannot understand you when you see
And when the dawn has come to wake
Your body trembles from the quake
I cannot give you this time now
All I can do is give time to allow
these troubles that bring the tear
come to know you, and have you to fear
Banish
your wish is to banish from this earth to erase yourself from every body’s memories to disappear like you never existed everything would seem better to you and everybody around you so many problems he’s caused so many people he’s hurt he wishes that he could banish to disappear into nothingness where nobody resides just a troubled soul for eternity..
-
People know no bounds
A reckless shelter of hate
It surges through the tide
it’s mists burn the skin and penetrate the soul
And in the wake of the storm the horizon shows
The darkening hate that binds us
Together we can face this storm
Together we are two more in its wake
And through the tide, the wind, the quake
We shall conquer this valley of hate
Ache
My heart aches but i have to let you go my heart desires to become one with yours but it seems like that will never happen i would love for it to become reality me and you together but i have to forget and move on with my life my heart will hopefully forget your heart my heart hopefully will heal through time my heart desires yours my heart is aching my heart my pitiful heart please forget.

dang dude i loved your poem….
The Fuse
Here I walk, trembling
Quaking
Believing that if I walk I will feel
That if I run I will heal
And now my pace quickens
In the darkness
In the shadows
Their faces peer at me
I sneer
Why does love come to hate?
Where have all the dreams gone?
Along the way I see their transport
A star
Not heavens light could slow me down
Tumbling further I cannot see
Stumbling further I cannot feel
All I know is what is before me
The darkness took me
And then exhausted I began to cry
This troublesome burden of being shy
I listen now to my heart
This is not the troublesome part
And in the darkness the light shines brighter
And in the panic my footsteps are lighter
But before this fuse was set to wake
I found the cover to blanket the quake
Scar
By: Hirenlor
I have this wound
You see, it talks to me
It reminds me of how he came to be
It reminds me of how sad it is to be me
And although I do what I can to mend
I can no longer pretend
This wound will never close
The blood inside will always overflow
My head is dull
I feel the needles in it
Flowing the syrup that makes me low
The scar reminds me not to go
But to let this syrum flow through my veins
And the steady hand that maintains
This needle piercing into my brains
And all that I want….
I felt your silence next to me
The black fissure in my wrists
The holes in the wall stained with fists
…Write your name in blood on the wall
Shut up scar, you’ve done this all
Wind
Troubles should be blown away by the wind blown away forever no more troubles what a happy life the wind returns still carrying your troubles your life is filled yet again with troubles and despair you contemplate on ending your life you think twice but you don’t think with all those trouble back in you you end your life your soul wanders the earth in despair waiting for the wind to cleanse you once again to make whole….
Beneathe me
The sky rolled on without me
Its shades of white and grey against the blue
The blue in your eyes
I made the mistake of falling for lies
And here at last I thought you were beneathe me
The life you lived was not one to envy
Misery and hate
But now you shade me
Away from the clouds I see your face
How I died, my solemn disgrace
Looking out from underneathe
I do not see you start to grief
And then you leave and the wind does blow
The bones under my skin begin to show
And all around the ground encroaches
As my slow decaying approaches
Let Go
by: Hirenlor
Wait on the edge
The razors edge before the sea
Take in the air and let it kill you
Let it spread your dust throughout the land
And then there shall be nothing left,
Nothing left for people to seek shelter in
Nothing left for you to seek pride in
Nothing left for you to worry about
And when you let go of yourself,
In the bathroom, on the cliff,
you realize that the pain you knew
is now forever bound
Sealed is your fate
And no longer can you choose otherwise
And then you laugh over the edge
And take your first step anyway
Forgotten
By: Hirenlor
I remember everything.
I remember what I forgot
Where I lost course
Where I died
And here in this exsistence
I forgot to look inside myself
And was left with a hole
deep within my soul
And I forgot the dreams I had
but remembered why I had forsaken them
The memories then compelled me to do so
And now they come back to torment me
I remember everything.
I remember the process I took to die
I remember the tear in your eye
I remember the words i spoke, a lie
And now that I have forgotten
I can’t forget
That those memories passed on
Will wake me when I’m dead
Tidepools
The ocean brings new things with the tide
As does every new day
But here I am, a rock
And I slowly fade away
Trapped between the tidepools
The surge all around
Close your eyes and let it take you
But here you are bound
To fade away with dying hope
To watch the splendid changes in the tide
To feel your hearts aches and pain
To have every sense not abide
Feeling faint, about to drown
Feeling the weakness in the bend
Seeing nothing but the frown
Dreaming nothing but the end
Outside the inner circle where voices muffled speak
And none can comprehend the sense of any offered word
Beyond the vale of outstretched smile
Or promised sympathy in need
Withdrawn from favored fellowship or communion warm and rich
Without the sound of welcome or greeting sweet to hear
Alone and ever waiting is the empty place I fill
To stay the daydreams spinning out
And nightmares running home
The stars have lost their radiance no more are heaven’s jewels
But lifeless sparks in pinpricked veil
A shroud of evening’s weaving to wrap a wounded, dying heart
That lies cold and unresponsive now when heaven sheds a tear
And weeps to see her child grow cold and still and still
Insatiable
By: Hirenlor
My want for you is unmatched
Trapped in the confines of this bottle
Pressured by the ocean,
Release me
And in my wake there is a hole
And all that I eat is thrown back out
And all that I breathe never reaches my lungs
And all that I dream never comes true
For days on end I thought I knew
Why it was the food didn’t go through
I put my head in my hands and cry
why
And my want for you was undying
Caresses the blade, ever trying
All these emotions constantly lying.
No matter how much I rejoice I…
Insatiable
Pick Me Up
By: Hirenlor
When I’m drowning I yell
I cry for help but..
my eyes start to bleed
And inside of me I combust
And the sky took me then
And I feel like vomitting
Scatter these shards around me
Falling fast and ever faster toward the ground
And when I’m down on the ground
Kick me
Remind me my place
Throw me against the wall and stick the glass in my knee
And when I’m crying continue your noise
Continue your putred hate
I feel the madness in you
Save me if you can
This is my plea for the change
The course in the river, diverted,
The winds in the sky, calm,
The fallen, arisen
Give them my eyes
Give them my pain
Let them bask in my brain
Let them all see their shame
Look closer I’m not done
Funny I’m not the only one
And with so many there are burning
No hand can pick you up from yearning
A World Of Pain-Hirenlor
A summer night(s) brings cool placid
along the shores of a rugged side
and to them He said, love one another
people seem to think the other
darkness encroaches
like a poacher in the grass
the night half-empty-
A childs cry
abyss in the night
they explode in terrors of colors of red and grey
in the hazy sun before twilight breaks
a ceasefire to hatred
Ones bed there crawls a monster
ones eye there is the light
a world unconcious
wounded by the light
The other child sings
sings a sonnet to the sky
a rising premonition
to the death in their eyes
how can it be ThEn that we make mistakes so bluntly
a child screams in the night.
Cold and dark
like an empty heart
Now if this is a world of conciousness
how can it be so enduring(?)
that the lamb, the boy and the fading petal
can mourn a world of pain.
CHAPTER 1: THE MYSTERIES OF GANNY DUDE
Once upon a a time, in the golden ages of Istari Productions, a bfme2 mapping clan, a mapper came to this team.
His name was Ganny Dude.
He came to the clan in order to practice the skills he learnt some time ago alone.
Then I met him. He was a nice person, as he wanted to help me with INI, at which I lacked experience. No other member offered to give me help, nor JBV, one of the leaders.
He then gained the favours to form part of the Dol-Galad mapping team (a map Holy and I were making befote he came), and so he joined. This was a golden age to all.
Ganny Dude helped me, until one day…
Holy Hammer, was trying to be promoted by Sharb to a moderador, and I thought that was no good, cuz he lacked skills. Then Ganny Dude, Holy and I started a fight for the dominance of the Moderator position, thus breaking the original Dol-Galad team and slaying our friendship to pieces. No one won that battle, but we all lost.
A week later Ganny came back, but he wasn´t the one that came to IP. He said a tornado broke his head, and he felt like he was stupid. I tried to solve this, but he followed on, untill I forced him to another battle.
After this one, it seemed peace returned again, and he started following the Solana Mod… Until on january, he went berserk and we fought again, because now he was only acted to receive credit and no longer with wishes of helping. After that battle, he blocked me, and I didn´t see him for 3 months…
Until one day I realised he has changed his name to -Hello-, and so I went to talk with him again. When I did, it was easy for me to realise he was obsessed with guitars, and wasn´t eager to continue with what he left undone. But one day he wanted to do INI again. He began to send me INI´s so I could test them. But that was no more than a week, until his obsessions covered the old Ganny completely.
Now he wanted me dead, and never wanted to talk seriously to me again, he gave his life for a guitar, and thus breaking balance in his world.
CHAPTER 2: LASCAR
(LOL)
When school ended, a new age came to IP. I was making the New Brown Lands Colloseum, after the making of Climb the Mountain Tournament, a map I made in between March and May.
Sometimes I remembered the broken Dol-Galad or the unnatended Solana Mod, but that times were past…
Then, the 28 July, someone wanted to join IP. He presented himself as Lascar, and his real name was Ali. I added him to msn inmediatly, as I felt a good person in him. My intuition was in fact right, as we started helping each other and became great friends, he being another leader in Bloody Moon (my personal team lol). He ascended to mapper.
Then he lost Internet for a while >.<, and contact became little, but then he recovered it and everything was normal again.
But then, one day, something broke that armony…
Next part comming soon!!
who is this aragorn guy???(jk nice story)
Rage
I feel the rage in me returning i cant control it i feel the rage eating my soul bit by bit i feel for the people around me i feel the rage coming i try to suppress it but it takes over my weak soul
my soul cant take it my soul finally gives in i become evil itself i go on a rampage annihilating everything around me i feel a bit of goodness left in me the sanity returns for a limited time i take advantage and end my life now finally at peace i can rest with no rage..
Sounds nice…if only after you did that you could rest and not be sent to Hell, lol
Dichotomy
The fear will start to slowly mount
Till every thought’s enmeshed
No word escapes without the taint of dominating force
Try to suppress and overcome it, take control and push it back
But more strong and perseverant
It washes once again
The wave engulfing even thought, and drowning even care
And standing
Watching
Waiting
And willing it away
One foot upon the Rock, the other in the sand
Sinking in the waves of grief unbalancing the hand
Realization begins to dawn of weakness and of choice
If only power can be had and wielded in its might
To tame the fear and beat it down
And end this endless night
Which will be the victor in this battle’s bloody fray?
The One or else the other
But I can never say………
Suicide
By: Hirenlor
Devoid of purpose,
Shut out from life
Drawn into the lifeless vaccuum
No comfort can suffice
And all this time you smiled along
Your friends thinking you were the same
But deep inside you couldn’t see the leaves falling
Black against the black window pane
And all the while you contemplated
On what and where and why
For what reasons do you have to live?
Soon, I must die
And all the times you thought back
The pain it was the same
For memories close to unbroken heart
Were replaced by those who shame
You pleaded out to the stars, I saw
But inside you were unchanged
Fooling yourself in thinking
That somehow you were derranged
And from the beginning you could not see
And up to the point the bullet was free
That from the beginning you were already dead
From killing yourself with tears unshed.
The Well
By: Hirenlor
I am the well
That takes in your light
The ocean swells
Within me
And down this hole
I am the eye
That sees through cloud
The futures woes
I am the relief to stiffling troubles
I am the source to dilute your blood
I feel myself becoming empty
I am what you drink and never give back
And here in the confines of these brick walls
I do not seep
But weep
For all those steal from me
Absorbing my essence I go to sleep
Storm clouds bring ashes in the wake
Of my never ending sleep
My life, never sustained, so bleak
Apathy
By: Hirenlor
There is no exit
No door out of pain
You keep walking, farther
You’re body you slain
The water comes across
Like veins in the concrete
Your dead cold corpse
White as a sheet
For some time now you have cried out to the night
And in the alley you stirred up a fright
Because all you did was take a chance
And happen to make that fatal glace
Yourself in the puddle you cannot see
Who would have thought that this was the fee
For trying to stay
Close to me
I wish I knew what it is you wanted to say
As I pull out your tongue no words, no fray
And when I finally drape the bad overhead
No words are said, just dead instead
And through all this there was one other
Watching as I killed my brother
And he was thee that was in the mirror
Who also shed with you, the tear
Of apathy
I watched the man lop off your head, snake.
I heard the final trembles of your life,
saw your blood;
wet, upon the ground.
I felt your pain, snake,
but I did not save you from it
Pause
There is a time in early morn
Before the dawn dissolves the night
When I might lift my eyes to see
Each piercing star alight
Their song of rapture, radiance
I long with all my heart to sing
To join the dance of galaxies
And all the joy they bring
There is a time in early morn
As sun ascends the eastern sky
When golden rays break crimson cloud
Across the jeweled dawn they fly
To be aloft and join that flight
I feel my heart unfurl her wings
And lift my soul and every care
To heaven as the angels sing
There is a time in early morn
When time itself seems then to hold
To give a rest from weary walk
Refreshment for the hungry soul
The Footprints
Well here I am again
Don’t know which path i strayed in
I walk from here to there
Everywhere there is a hole
My eyes they bleed
Upon gazing into the darkness
I open the hole
so that my body barely fits through
And there there is a replay
Of my life full of misery
Leading along into this trail of despair
Hand in hand you led me
Repeal your tenticles from my neck
Upon the hill and under heaven i plea
That this grief will not get me
But the trail has caught up
And there the hole grows ever larger
Now within me
For the path I walk now, despair
Always begins with me
Guile
subliminal voices scream sotto voce
but I can hear it
they argue with my conscience
and I don’t fear it
I turn my back and walk away
and tell them try another day
I’m just too tired to stay
I cant be near it
The sky is falling all around me
the stars hit crazy
sizzling scraping strafing slamming
they make it hazy
I want to run between them
and feel their shining freedom
though I can hardly see them
I think I must be lazy
So leave me all alone and aching
I might cry a while
the scalding tears are never ending
I might try the style
of those who shun the light
they try with all their might
in pain to scale the height
but fall defeated filled with guile
When It Was Raining
By: Hirenlor
It was raining that day
You let loose your soul
Away from your hands
Dissolving into the grave
Shallow though it was
It was filled with water
To quench the soul;
Instead it drowned
On that day you frowned
And cried
And when it began to rain
To the others you had lied
No words to take the pain away
Or so it is you say
What words you used to try to dissolve
Were the ones that sounds did not involve
And on that day it rained
You let me slip from you
Black ink on your hands
Fading away
Under the tree you remember me
And here is where you prepare
Before the rain, no tear can tell
Just as no one could tell you fell
Darkness
you awake to a world filled with despair you realize that you have to do evil deeds to survive
your nature is not of hurting people your nature is of caring and helping you break those evil laws you go on helping and caring until you are caught you are taken away to a dark place for years
in the dark place your heart becomes filled with evil every passing day your heart becomes darker filled with hatred you are released you become the biggest tyrant of all time you topple everything in your path you seek your old self you seek your pure soul you look everywhere to no avail you look for years and years you grow old never knowing that your soul was always there with you.
Err Wanderer
When I think at last I’ve found my comfort
I lead a path
That goes astray
And I think that every person should
know how to feel good
And know when to walk away
And now i sit here and I can’t help but bleed
Corroding beneathe me
Bleed right through me
And the sorrow that was the blood
Comes down as tearfall
And blocks the sun
And when looking up at the heavens
No one listens
Silence to my echoes
And for once I really think
My legs no longer move
And this path that I was lead on
can’t breathe this altitude
For a second my mind erases
The walls I had placed
All these new faces
Telling me that I can end despair
Life ain’t fair
You’ve got nothing to share
And my eyes turn blank to ashes
Movement halted
All aborted
Until at last I can taste the blood
Feel the dying
Start my crying
Good Night
Rise up and sing, O my soul
To Him who your every beat does hold
Who leads the dance and sparks the stars
Who makes the world to hear His voice afar
In thundering storm or gentle rains
In quiet snowfall or windswept plains
He whispers and the dove may rest
Her feathered head on feathered breast
He sings and hearts in anticipation
Respond in harmonious syncopation
Beating wild to resting calm
Receiving benison and balm
For weary heavy heaving woes
Burdens lifted for He knows
What each one lacks or needs to keep
And Blesses all with silent sleep
great poems friends.
Thanks Horacio
The Rim of the Glass
Staring into the crowd
And the faces passing by
You have seen them all before
Passing through your eye
And this dull exsistence becomes you
A mist through the crowd
A shadow made by cloud
Dragging its feet behind
And as you caress the rim of the glass
You feel no feelings to harass
The wine flowing downward
Emptiness by the mass
Walking through the crowd
You feel eroded
Your bones corroded,
In this hollow exsistence
All these smiles become them
Thinking they are the example of bliss
A lovers’ first kiss
A life that does not exsist
Take a seat beside me
Drink up from inside me
This hole is there to see
There is nothing left of me
Desolation
you dissapear to a place filled with wonders no worries about life
your souls feels at rest finaly no more pain
the pain in the real word ate your soul bit by bit
your heart was barely beating the tumps were slow and desolate
everything about you in the real world seemed wrong unreal
you always had the urge to dissapear forever and ever
the people around you seemed to have more than one face
one day they are your best friends then they forget you
when you walk alone you think of running and never stoping no matter what
as if your moving time itself to a better timeline
you sometimes think of just ending your pitifull life you feel worthless
but you hold on to your hopes
that seems the only thing keeping you in this cruel world
but there is a god
he controls your destiny
he makes things happen for a reason
believe in him
because he believes in you
never give up
hold your hopes close to your heart
survive this cruel world survive it
Chain
chained up to this body
he feels unworthy
his heart beats slowly almost giving up
but his soul keeps him going
he holds on to the chain as hard as he can
but sometimes he gets tired of holding on
for one second he doesnt hold
he grabs the chain again with all his migth
that is the only thing kepping his heart beating
he knows he can end his life anytime he likes
he thinks for days
he finaly gives in
he releases the chain
he dies his body dissapears
his soul is taken to the devil
he spends decades in hell filled with despair
regreting that he ended his life
but now its to late he should of never ended his life
he loses his mind
he desperately jumps into the lava vanishing his soul
like he never exsited

What do you have Gone
By: hirenlor
Experience silence
Like shells washed up upon the shore
Hollow and corroded
Didn’t know what they were dying for
In this world there is hate
And above all else, we appreciate
The smile, the cause, the learn, the jerk
Removing shadowy cobwebs wherever they lurk
And now we realize we can’t be beat
No matter how the try to leak
In our hearts we maintain our pride
Ignoring all the voices that lied
With eyes aglaze I see the future
Distant and unforseen
A troubled teen
About to lay in my palm
And through this hope the hole grows bigger
And all the more seems to slip
The shells taken back by tide
Though I shout, my rules they did not abide
Left alone with sand in my wounds
The ocean waves return once more
And bring something I did not see before
So then you may ask what do I have gone…
And then the hand will take a shell
“This is one the ocean did not tell”
I know, I say, so not something to rely on.
Starry Dream
Too late the hour and gone the day
The sun long left its glow
And twilight’s final laughing light
Blends into moonlight’s flow
Till only starlight bathes the path
Where footfall tread in darkness will not show
I sit and watch but nothing see
The stars turn overhead
Their canopied splendor to reveal
Ancient legend modern thread
I wonder who has seen the same
And are they living or are they dead
Yet here in vain I wait for sleep
To take these thoughts away
Morpheus to guide me where
The pain of now is stayed
And dreams await to take that place
Where dread is held at bay.
If I Knew Then
By: Hirenlor
If i knew then,
That this noose did not have to be tight
That I didn’t have to give up the fight,
I wouldn’t
But dare they speak to me
Because with mask I wore,
They saw right through me
If only I knew then
If I knew then
That this tide did not corrode me
That this feeling was not so lonely,
That the path was right below me
And when I cried out to the night
The heavens heard my plight
But all this while I sulked on
If only I knew then
If only I knew
What could have been my life
Trade it with the boy who sneezed
Having not death but festering disease
And yet his soul does not corrode
Even though he carries this load
And yet I am here upon the shore
Asking God why can’t there be more
I stuck my hand into the glass
Reaching for the jelly beans
“a black one”, the bad does not relent
If only I knew that was only my first attempt
Leaves
By: Hirenlor
These distance faces
In the trees
paled by the sunlight
Falling ever faster toward the ground
How I wish I could be evergreen
Only occassionally do my leaves fall
Blown by some torrent of wind
And here alone I stand
watching all the leaves now gone
Their smiles at me now drowned
In colors of red and brown
Attatched to me like before
There comes another
That the tree tree did not know before
And how again I wish to be evergreen
And these faces about me,
My leaves
Stop falling
Inside these Walls
By: Hirenlor
Facade the shadow
Long restless nights under the stars
Too many hours
And withering like leaves
Under the shade of trees
To hold on before winter breaks
Shattering glass in your hand
the salt from your tears
Drowning the wound
Flesh to fear
Waiting for something to appear
And now you come to realize
These lines
Slashed about your expression
How long it took and now your fate
How long it took to hesitate
Dressed for the Occassion
By: Hirenlor
A large banquet filled with extravagant feasts
While you were dressing you tore this cloth
And when you drank it tore again
Nothing to trouble you but your lovely end
And during the murder you ran away
Gave no description
No knife at bay
And so the scar along the clothe
Grew horizontally as if eaten by moth.
Skin is now showing
And the pain keeps on growing
And when time came love reared its head
Immediately forgotten, you wish you were dead
And again it ripped so your ghost it showed
Rearing its head like an ugly toad
All alone now with cloth tattered and old
Without the will to seek anything but failure
Forgot to ask the dear tailor
Instead remembered where you put the razor
In the breeze you look unaware
For in His hands the cloth repair
But in yours, the razor along wrist
Along the edge
You were dressed for the occassion
I Ask
By: Hirenlor
The instructor in the meadow
Teaching me to remember
The grasses waving in the wind
The birds singing in the sky
Why? I ask
Do All good things come to an end
Appreciate, he said
This world is difficult to comprehend
Even at home
On lonely days
When, I hope, this feeling is only a phase
The instructor stands beside me
And although I may not even seek to dream
The sky, the cloud, the tree, they sing
The smiling faces of the family
Reminds me that life can sometimes go on happily
By the ocean my troubles pass
Yet bundled up on the tidepools
When, I ask, will my troubles be gone
Life, he says, just goes on
And now I feel weary
Time lodged between my bones
And the memories of good times past
remind me that they never last
But look again, the instructor said
The sun has come to rise
More time there is in this day unbrought,
Capture the memory and be not distraught
How, I ask, with no memories at all
All the easier, he says, stand up tall
Wait to see the world through eyes yet born
With time and life you create and adorn
One last question I have yet to ask
Why do I carry my tears in a flask?
You burden yourself with troubles and regret
Look not at the past, but the memories unmet
Pursuit
By: Hirenlor
You are a tail
Chase yourself
Until you are free
like a frisbee from hand
Stay up in the air
Enjoy your freedom
For in the clouds you reach your dreams
Until it is time to come down
Chase the butterfly through the field
Chase with your eyes the shooting star
Chase fleeting love and hold on tight
Continue with the pursuit, and be free
Miracle
By: Hirenlor
I am the miracle that stayed alive
decided to survive
I am the miracle of my time
am able to rhyme
I am the miracle among my friends
laughter without ends
I am the miracle when hope died
ignoring the demons and all that lied
I am the miracle that is content
my sorrow I vent
I am the miracle carried out by me
wandering the forest to save a tree
I am the miracle of the earth
loving all within her girth
I am the miracle of my mother
getting along with sister and brother
I am the miracle of despair
A miracle? me? I do not dare…
In my heart, I feel a fraud
But I know better, I’m a miracle of God
I have poetry that needs to be entered!!!
Scroll down….
I am a mermaid
I come from Virginia….

Few Can See
By: Hirenlor
There are few who see
The tragedy within me
A curtain of chaos
Constantly being lifted.
And on heart strings
My song they did play
Reminding me, painfully,
That day by the bay
I failed again
The day is now over
No sight of peace
Nor three-leaf clover
And now I think my pain will last
But then again all comes to pass,
And to linger in sorrow, life goes too fast
Doubt, despair, can kiss my
Hey hey, look who is responding
. I get to call myself the “site admin” haha. Anyway, I was looking around and I just now noticed that there were three poems the site deciphered to be “spam”. They are now back up. These poems include:”Life”, by horacio, as well as “Let Go” and “I Ask”, both by yours truely. Enjoy.
Blue Eye
By: Hienlor
There is no bounds to what can be said
Without the eye
They’de all be dead
In my troubles it was remembered
The eye appeared
The troubles no longer tempered
And yes I remember
The day I saw the eye
The day I could fly
I think back now and wonder
Staring into the setting sun, red and gold leaves falling
If only sun and moon were her
Why stars then would need to occur
And on the dawn of troubled wake
The tide it was red
And even then the thigs unsaid
Drowned the red until dead
And this canvas to my soul
splattered paint in green and gold
I look at it and smile
To think these dreams untold
I wish my eyes were trees
And in the sky you do reside
Gazing up I always am
On nights you outshine the heavens
And yet to see that this glee
May only be temporary
I know in my heart you will reside
Let this day be the tears I cried
Omaha
you walk the battlefield
bodies of fallen comrades lay every were
you have lost sanity
all your friends brothers you loved
gone forever
something so insingnaficant started the war
you keep walking crying your guts out
you wonder why you are one of the only ones standing
the beach blood red
you take a deep breath the smell of death fills you with sadness and rage
you promise to never again make friends
you keep up to your own promise
but you lose your mind after a while
staring at death everyday
the cry’s of men
the cry’s of pain
the screams of them calling for there mothers before they give in to there wounds
you cant stand war anymore
you cant stand the enemy for killing your comrades
you go into a blinding rage
charging forward
bullets ripping your life out of you
you fall looking up at the sky
your eyes glimmering in the sunlight
one last tear you shed
before you scream out your mother’s name
the last time
Heart
these walls locking his soul
his soul growing weaker day by day
his body trying to hack at the walls to no avail
he lays thinking for days
his past
evil deeds he has done
he can never forgive himself
he hacks at himself
his bony body taking the blows
no pain nothing
he has lost all feeling
madness envelops him
he rips his chest open
rips his heart out
staring at it for a while he see’s all the good things he had done locked away in his heart
but now it is to late
his heart thumping its last beats
staring at it realizing how fragile life can be
he knows he will not have a second shoot at life
he takes a bite at it
ending his life
knowing that his soul would be sent to the devil
feeling that he deserved this future
filled with pain
he slowly begins to hack at his soul
waiting for the day to come
when it also dissapears
In the Shadows
By: Hirenlor
Waiting by the dusk
The trees sulking in your despair
Wanting
Waiting
And you passed by the trees
Their eyes watching you go
As you looked toward the ground
Watching the shadows below
And from the concrete these shadows envelope you
Devouring your being
Without seeing
Believing
And then you wonder why
These tears you shed had bled,
And how you could cry at all
With feeling already dead
And you know now there is no hope
No hope to quench the pain,
And when you got the chance to try
You messed up just the same
The Soul
By: Hirenlor
Salvage the soul
It is as strong as you make it
Walk with your soul
Don’t drag it behind
And allthough time may seem to slow
In the future you wish it was so
So live each moment and make it the best
Walking with the soul you find your rest
And when time does come to pass
You find yourself there at last
Telling yourself you did not think so
Being in your dream from a year ago
And through this you have yourself to thank
That you found the guidance to keep the soul
And knowing that no bumps could stop you
This sins to you already forgot you
And though it was hard to find this peace you have found
You put your soul in it anyway;
Now you’re homeward bound
No longer weary, no longer faint
The bad times, to your soul they could not taint
And now it’s fine to shed a tear
I can’t believe it, i’m actually here
A life of masks
he awakes
he puts his mask on
to hide away all emotions as if he has the perfect life
he gives out so much to receive nothing in return
what a life of masks
his heart aches with pain
his stomach trembles with pain
the chance to cry his heart out arises
his eyes watering he locks the tears trowing the key somewhere far nowhere to be found
having no regret
living like this everyday
heart pounding with pain
dying inside day by day
growing tired of being miserable
forgeting all the troubles
living a happy life once more
god guiding him each step
to a better future

Veil
In the twilight of my mind
In the twilight of the day
The rising stars, the setting sun
The colors all at play
The darkling skies above me
The darkling thoughts within
When night’s black shroud surrounds me
The quiet thoughts steal in
The prickling of the starry host
The trickling of my dreams
That fill so slow the empty space
Left by the day’s last gleams
And sleep around the corner
Just waiting for her call
To come and cover loneliness
Stop the heartache at the wall
In the twilight of my mind
In the twilight of the day
To rest in solitude and peace
Alone in twilight’s stay
Hope
Inside the darkness of the cave
Where shadows never felt the glance
Of sunlight kiss or moonbeam wash
Of even starlight joyful dance
Unseen, unsought, unsung or called
The waiting stilled by knowing doom
No one will share no one will care
No one to call me from the gloom
Stony, silent, sorrow-filled
The empty echoes etch the soul
That exhausted lies abandoned there
Devoid of meaning, unconsoled
Abide, await, attend the need
With patience to endure this night
For grim and bleak this solitude
Deliverance is yet your right
The Majesty of perfect whole
Complete and final in its Grace
Will yet unbend, bestow pure Love
Enwrap this sorrow in sure embrace
Gaping Hole
emotions engulf your body
you fight to hold your tears
you fight with all your might to supress them
living a life like this with emotions surging in your body by the second
why do they hurt so much
why do they make me feel suicidal
when will it end
relieve me of this earth
banish me
erase me
purify this soul
this hole in my chest this gaping hole
needs to be filled
before it takes over my body
Heavens Ruler
the day has come
the day of reckoning
the heavens have darkened
the heavens are crying
they tremble before the earth
demons engulf the earth
despair in every corner
the rightfull owner of hell has arrived
with his legions of death
the armies of heaven ploting there comeback
the armies clash
the war of the world has begun
the holy war
the demon war
swords glittering dark and heavenly
the might of the dark is overwhelming
heavens ruler appears
raising one hand banishing the dark
making them tremble with total fear
once again banished to the deepest part of earth
earth puryfied once again
eternal peace with us
no war with heavens ruler with us
omg i freaking love you all like so much…muah!
dearest pistaccio!
If you love him so much why don’t you marry him!
Locked Heart
heart what a complicated thing
flowing with emotions
hurting him trobing with hurt
locking it away
with a key
till the time he wants to re open it
so many times his heart been played
hurting with a passion
sadness
despair
an overwhelming hole
wider than ever
seems as if shortening his life
shielding his heart
from love
shielding it from the grip of those he loves
opening it to only the purest
walking by
love at every step
ignoring it
as if it never exists
how long can he hold
till the lock breaks
and a someone grips it once again
and plays with it till it dissapears
Linger amoung shadows
By: Hirenlor
Unresponsive;
Heavens rays are created in your lashes
Yet you close your eyes to sheild these rays
Hope and love drowning
Drowning in this sorrow that has become you
In your body you feel empty
The ocean within troubling about
Devoid of life
The tide rises
Encroaching the twilight you see no escape
The ocean trembles
Rises against your eye
Released through your eye
And all becomes blurry now
Like the flurry of snow around you
Never before have you held your heart so close
In your throat and so cold
And here you think in the shadows of the crowd
You will linger unmoving
Frozen and blind
And all who look upon you with downcast eyes
A dead rose
And no sun will come to set or rise
For your future is shown clear through your eyes
Tears frozen down on your cheek
The world is blurry, your life is bleak
In this tide I will drown
Nothing more than a painting on a wall
Whose eyes seem to be alive
Yet downcast they are
Trapped within this frozen state
Lingering in these shadows
In this cold
In this sorrow that has become you
Re-Open
you hesitate when you awake
your thoughts corrupt
your soul weak
opening your heart little by little
still hurting from past events
making an oath that it will never hurt like it did
your heart turning to stone shielding itself from danger
danger that it knows to well
beating majesticly
what a heart
a heart healed over time
starting to let go
be free
no more masks when you wake
In Grey
By: Hirenlor
Trapped in between us
Within us they could not see us
Faces with vivid colors
But nothing more than a canvas
And in the sky
The colors of the world would spin
And in the horizon you would find yourself
Yet trapped in between us
Was this painted desert
And none could touch us
Away from ourselves we fly
And to bring us down they could only try
And when I wake up to see you
Trapped here in between us
Is that picture in the sky
Made with colors so vivid.
And though they may try
Nothing can bring us down
And though I can’t feel
This feeling is all the more real
Just like that painting on the canvas
Or image in my eye
Or distance between us
Trapped in between us

its time for me to tell every one that i am gay and i am ok saying it now
Aboard the Platform
By: Hirenlor
Echoing around me
I heard the train call
It hollered like the voices around me
Telling me I was worthless
And that I should leave
And step aboard the platform
If ever there was a wish of mine
I’d wish the train did not come so late
And the passing to the train was not so cold
I wish someone could wipe my slate
Of all the voices I hear these days
Smoke rising from the train
Westward, Eastward, it matters not
No matter where i’m always caught
Tied to the tracks against my will
I wish I hadent taken the pill
And now I come to the platform
Walking slowly but inevitably
make love to me poem!!!
Kamikaze
Drinking sake for the last time
kissing your loved ones goodbye
overflowing with pride
pride for your country
the emperor
mounted on a machine built to destroy
your coffin
your weapon
seeking your prey
one last time
gazing at your family picture
ending your life
hundreds others
just to pause the inevitable.
An ending
Finally an end
the dust settles
an endless sea of emotions before
wild and rouge as a stormy sky
but now an end
a breath
a silence
yet only yeilding to a false peace
alas i arise above
look back i dare not
realizing what i have lost
the most bitter sweet of victories
Yosemite
Once more would I wish to be there
Out there in the light and shadow, cloud and sun, earth and sky
There where the rock towers in escarpment straight and solid and sacred
Where the trees rise to greet the soaring hawk and eagle, inviting their stay
Where the rivers race gratefully, happy to join the dance of waters
Or pool in splendent solitude, a treasure nearly missed
While sunlight dances sparkling in reflective glory dazzling the eye
Each step bringing closer the smells of the pine, the crunch of gravel dirt and sand
Each sound delighting the ear, birdsong, splash, wind in the treetops or along the meadow grasses
Rushing, gliding, singing the songs of faraway in the distant present
Memories are lit by the sunrise and sunset and rainy days there spent
Where the very air was almost holy in its purity and grace
Each color more intense and resonant in the palette of created imagination
Each texture, stone, tree, earth, water, sky: abundant, eternal
Life everywhere dangerous and sweet: puma and squirrel, deer and fish, bird and bear
The hum of the insects busy about their own important lives
Dissecting the scenery or ingesting the walker amongst them
Once more, at least once before I leave, I would wish to walk in the silent joy of that place
Breathing in the light, exhaling the mists time refuses to relinquish
And linger under the stars or rainbows cast about me by His hand
And know peace.
hmmm, I count 98….
Under Fire
Surrounded at all sides
no hope that i can see
on an island, only me
A fight in which there is no surrender
a struggle with no releif
beseiged by greif
and now i find
im under fire
searching for a gap
a breach in the clouds
tired of these same old people
blinded by these monotone days
poisoned by the outside world
sickened by there actions
a madness selfcaused
a monster i created
how long can one hold a weak fort
when already under fire
pls exuse spelling
oh, and you like how i emphisised GIN dont you
: )
Very clever, Ichimaru! and the poem is great. The brothers Alanis make a formidable pairing
Wow, that was actually good! lol
why thank you
A Lighter Shade OF Grey
It is funny how things look
in a shade of grey
As vivid colors dull, so does perspective
days fly by, boring and simple
ambitions leave the mind
dry, pale, nothing is of any worth
sad and alone
left only to my tears
in a world of only grey
desperatly searching
for a lighter shade
there
100
too bad the last one stunk
you seem to have confused stunk with shone brilliantly. You are a very good poet already, can’t wait to see what you will develop into!
: (
At least it was the hundreth
That’s only 98, but very close now. I will add a poem and then see who is the one to post the 100th poem.
Fragile Wings
By: Hirenlor
There comes a time in life
When the wind will sweep about you
Raising you off the floor
Suspended in your surprise
Above the world you see it all
The cloud,
The child,
The doll,
And in this hour you ignore the cold
Feathers around you that never grow old
Into the horizon to futures untold
Where man and woman can be so bold
As to hold each others hand in the wake
Before the quake and embrace
And every child could then see
What is of them meant to be
But before the rush or horizon did meet
Your wings did get caught in the sleet
To hold you up life did cheat
To knock you back down to your feet
And never did the earth so burn
And never did you hear it cry out and yearn
To play the song your heart did sing
When flying above everything
Every lifes moments are drained away
You think perhaps that you should pray
But instead of pray you just lay
Yet HOPE to fly another day.
My Limitless Reality
Falling
swallowed by black
deeper down i fly into the abyss
drowning in my screams
drifting
lost in an endless forest
no sound reaches my ear
painfull how lonely
paralyzed
crushed by the crashing tide
flinching at every punch
cast aside as worhtless
insignigicant
horrified
images of the world i fear
monstrous creatures of which i call my peers
torrmented by their chanting
a restless night
what should i call the preasent
an endless dream
or my limitless reality
betterer and betterer! You two are amazing!
Yay 100!
My Virus
Spreading like a wild fire
Rapid as the darkest river
unyeilding
Turning blood black
Freezing my long warm heart
vizion turns to blurred images
of what i once had
now alone
surrnedering to this pain
no longer can i bear the burden
my tears flee, no longer wanting me
now alone
My thoughts turn to gloom
choking in a plume of smoke
all voices leave my ears
no smells reach my own
now alone
others try to heal me
some try to make it worse
but they do not see
This virus is my own
101 hoooray! Huzzah!
A silver lining
Caged
restricted by chains
chains called the educational system
ever do they tighten
to confine my imagination
to suffercate my will
roaming around
desperate
in a prison in which i did nothing to be there
forced in by adults so old they have long forgoten
rotting every day
forced into contact
with these simple ignorant people
non of which understand me
alone in a sea of rules and laws
swarming around me like bees
creativity shunned
only to do what i am told
and speak, i laugh, Never!
silenced by this deep oppression
now i see a silver lining
a room where i am free
no chains to hold me
no cell to confine me
and all others understand me
free to do what i love the most
free to write
How I missed you
By: Hirenlor
Devoted love
Caught you not when you fell
Radiating about you
A sullen song
The words you breathe
Now solemn chill
to add to the cold air of night
be still
Out of the torment, rage and hate
You did appear again and again
Shattered bones and broken skin
The bandage around your heart forsaken
And you did not feel my hand that day
Reaching out into the darkness
So deep I could not see
And even then you asked for less
To see the day one more time
Awakening before the sea
Revealing beauty beyond your dreams
though you did not wake to see me
All alone I was not there
Never once did the fence change upon stretching into the horizon
Endless is the sea
Though you no longer wake to see me
Suspended in a Moment
A crunch beneath your feet
wafting pine in the air
ever the birds softly call your name
rivers whisper a soothing song
an orchestra on the wind
light enshrouds all that you see
a veil of mist from above
mountains stand proud and tall
dancing waters cascade endlessly
grasses greet you as you go
hidden eyes follow to and frow
the sky is painted
a vivid array
wrapping all in a twilight beauty
a still peace
it seems eternal
to set foot upon this good earth
to breath air that is pure and clear
a place where one only hopes
to be suspended in that moment
This is a stunning moment of beauty, thank you for sharing it!
Show off
Tales of my Distant Self
Gathering
all come to hear the stories
far away things that decive all thought
of sadness, dispair
an unreachable truth
twisted and worn is the land
black ash lies where what used to be green
withered roots no longer living
hopes and dreams burried deep in the sands
tainted rivers and frozen streams
a chilling wind is ever blowing
ruins of a once great being
now poor and grey
rain falls without sceace
tears of sorrow and pity
and ever i seek to find what was there
in this land so consumed by greif
so distant are these lands
that i no longer recognize myself
Pretty Poison
glances exchanged
captured from that moment
lost in the sea
the most radiant sea
transfixed to you
magnetic it seems
and unable to breath
feeling returns
my limbs move again
brought out of my coma
how nice it is to feel
forever hostage to one no longer there
time passes slowly
and im wishing you would return
left paralyzed, shocked
now only to feel pain
such a pretty poison
Birthday Song
colors surround
ballons and ribbons
a special cake
happy dillusions
he sits alone
rain pours around
smoldering ashes in the fire pit
now so cold
the colors so harsh
a mocking happiness that will not stop
no presents
even they have deserted
gravel below turns to muck
he still sits alone on that bench
trees weep alongside
so lonely do they feel
how bitter it is
to sing the birthday song
So Tired of Today
dawn breaks
only to wake me from heavenly sleep
a sad routine i follow
struggling along
wishing to thrive
if only to be alone rather the company of those i dislike
an unfortunate reality in wich i am living
broken peices of me
so tired of today
longing for a better way
praying for a better day
wow such awesome poems
The Place That I Live
By: Hirenlor
The place I live in is a concept
Too many distorted colors
Transfixed upon the eye within
Seeing only what they deemed moving
The place I live in is a dream
Seek solice in dreams and nightmares alike
In fright we find peace in their eyes
So distant and cold as they close and die
The place I live in is cold with water
Never do they come together
Separated yet crying the same
Dying from shame
The place I live in is dark
Everywhere the beast leaves his mark
And yet so happy we are to see foulplay
Take a dollar and come what may
But the place I live in is also my home
Along the shores of the river I prone
To find a shell from the sea
All the way begotten to me
I shall not see peace in these days
Too many times taken evil in their ways
But I shall try to live it out
Withdrawn from water I live this drought
So thirsty I am to see the light
To see the water through this blight
Alas contept I shall find my peers
Of whom i’ve killed throughout these years
A lonely song from larch and pine
In the sun they seem just fine
But the darkness exposes us for who we are
The fears we share when we drown in the tar.
Let It Drive
By: Hirenlor
Emerging from the crowd
Their faces bleak with anguish
The pain you once felt
Now left behind
Driving in your car your eyes are too teary
Your soul too weary
To see all around
The fear now unbound
In the darkness behind you, you do not peek
Because it is forgiveness you seek
When at last the tears have all blown away
Sun comes up for a brand new day
Driving along the flowers do sing
This day of days is the beginning of spring
The beginning of life and love anew
A time to remember things that once grew
And in your car the morning does bring
Light to the sign on the sign post thing
At last an answer to this equation
You finally know your destination
Guided by the light your heart does sing
To think of the love Jesus did bring
Life about you, life within
Because of His love we were forgiven of sin
No heavy burden to hold these days
A second chance, the boy just lays
And dreams about the songs his children shall sing
In these days
The days of spring
Sunshine
Awake now
Breathing in the new day
So joyous seems the land
Greeting all who walk upon it
Nothing more than lies
Deceitful thoughts of what may be
To drink the water it supplies, a veil to the truth
A vile taste it leaves
As fumes of sadness rise with the sun
Clear is the harsh world, icy and uncaring
Seen in this false light
Yet perhaps some new light rises today
A hope
A dream
Something to hold on to
To weather this storm
I think not
Bleak and false is today’s sun
Shining bright hope, in that which dissolve
To make you feel happy, only to bring you down again
Such beauty in the rains clear truths
Pure and sweet
Tears of a world warped by lies
Lovely rain gives way to tainted light
To see this days sunshine
A bitter thought
You paint such vivid images….I am wondering what you might do with a camera! This one reminds me a little of a pendulum swinging in its arc. You touch the hope and the lie and swing suspended between the two. The place to ponder….calling the reader’s attention to what seems to be, and also what could be, nice!
Faceless
Wandering through an endless maze
A place where all look the same
Individuality lost to time
Mutilated by the others
Now all the same
I must find an exit
A place to escape
Alone I fight them off
Innumerable
Hopeless and lost, these people I once knew
Now unrecognizable
Desperately I flee
Searching for a solitude unfound
Trying not to become
faceless
Yet So Close Yet So Distant
Love so precious
love so distant from me
not knowing when it will come
am i in love?
what is this feeling
i cant have her yet
so close yet so distant
help me
relieve me from this feeling
desperation taking over
her making a promise of love to you
waiting till the day comes when you can have her
hurry time
hurry
make me whole
make me love her
let me protect her
Something Precious
Wanting something precious to you
waiting to obtain it
to protect it
to love it
to savor every moment with it
knowing that you will not have it
not giving up
waiting till that day comes
when you can have it
all for yourself
to give it all the love you have
hidden within you
i want it now
come to me
boundaries set in motion
i will overcome them
and have you
what i want
close to me
finally to love you
with all my might
Reminds me of stephanies boyfriend lol. Wants her so bad and has done all he could to get her, only to find out that she doesn’t like him lol. You can do whatever you can but people want different things…so sad.
SEARCHING FOR SLEEP
Tripping over misplaced reminders of worries left bleeding at noon
Still alive and screaming for attention
Demanding their wounds be bound or staunched at the very least
But I walk among them deafened in the cacophony
Willing to ignore again the incessant roar
Wanting to disregard the dreads and doubts so appalling
Wishing to dismiss each voice eager to engulf me
And find the circles walked filled with added shrieks and wails
New voices fresh and strong in their insistence
Missteps and misdeeds rehearsed and re-rehearsed unresolved
Where lays the peace so sought?
The softened landscape of insouciant breath of wind
Susurrations, gentle caresses give balm to the soul
To blow away the cares and woes of past
To bring anew the hopes and promises once seen
But now hidden in dismay
Fighting to stay whole
“Are you spirit or are you flesh?”
“I am Sorrow…”
FULLY AWAKE
Dancing among pleasures never dreamed here in the full light of radiance
More alive, more fully formed than present being tells
Asking only more of everything I find
Leaping from one bejeweled moment to the next unsated by their wonder
Willing to listen to the newness
Wanting to embrace the abundance
Wishing to accept each voice eager to explain
And find the paths now trod profuse in pure essence
New voices lifted in harmony a chorus to praise
Each new step toward the center rehearsed and re-rehearsed to perfect execution
Where lays the silence of the grave?
The brutal finality of tormented realm
Amid the still darkness of separated woe
The very atmosphere inconsequential and lost
Without hope or pardon in the offering
Open to reveal the sting that slays
And empties a soul asked
“Are you spirit or are you flesh?”
“I am Joy!”
Thank you for the poem, truely beautiful. Waking up to joy is not my morning lol jk.
To be and not
No one sees me
Invisible as a lie
Hidden deep within my shell
Backed into shadows of my own
About to explode
Here and not here
Both I am
To those who do not bother a second glance
I am only here
Never present
Aged and young
Both I am
To appear young, only an illusion
Aged is the feeling of this youth
Slowly dying
False and true
Both I am
My actions are false
Only saying what other desire to hear
Pursuing a false dream
My thoughts are true
Unable to comprehend
Surrounded by simplistic minds
Forced to imprisonment
Detached and connected
Both I am
Detached from my real self
Connected to these people
Only through a lie
They are not connected to the real me
Only my shell
Wishing to break free
To see the sun
To feel the rain
Unable to escape
I am
A walking contradictory
Shattered Glass
Lonley in my dark corner
slowly i am pushed to the edge
balencing upon will
unable to hide my cracks
no longer do i sparkle
as in the glory days
no longer am i used
only the dust stays with me
building up
it weighs me down
the way time hurts, so much for the healing
cracks grow
i chip
and am knocked aside by uncaring hands
falling
shattered on the ground
swept aside and discarded
no pity for me
perhaps now at peace
no longer shattered glass
“Fully Awake” is an attempt at what life, eternal life, in the eternal body would be like. It is not “waking” up, but being fully awake. As it is also the antithesis to insomnia….IDK
It was a joke lol.
I knew it was not a criticism, I just wanted to be sure anyone reading it would understand where I was coming from. ^^
Dead
black clothes
and confusion
I hear the mourning
I scence their sorrow
I see their tears
but i cannot feel their pain
the torment of unfeeling
cold
why do the mourners mourn one not gone
why do the mothers cry for one not lost
they see not what i see
i see distance
i see change
i see not the love of what once was
i see what i have lost, and what heal
i see not what they see
to turn and abandon
to cry with the othres
to mourn watching this
never
but now it seems
i see like them
a sad transformation
are you truly
dead
Nice poem, one of the best so far.
Isolated madness
Watching from a distant place
Unable to make contact
Reaching out and longing
To see more like them
Joyously they float along
A life surreal, false and deceptive
Yet still so happy they all seem to look
Perhaps only masks
I stand alone on a hill of cold stone
Rains never stops
Endless winds slash at the soul
And the cold freezes the heart
The blood stands still
Weary and withered
Old in my youth
Passing by, they walk all in groups
Laughing and smiling
Pathetic yet blissful
And always do I meditate
How this can be
Alone I cry as years go by
And the life I live on the border
Of madness and sanity
Slips away to the tides, corroding my mind
To feel demented, a philosopher and a maniac
Mostly to contemplate things out of reach
As my limbs go limp
And visions fade
And time has stolen my chance at life
The Ill Favored Look
So lonely I am, in a state of solitude
As I lean on my hidden wall
Cowering from the world
And gazing at the dance of time
Growing into many shapes
Colors vivid and shining
Joy and laughter erupt across the land
And infects all that surrounds
Yet none reaches me
None come to share that joy
And alone I ponder why
Why the world, so harsh, denies me
Why the people, so bold, ignore me
Fate it cannot be
Rather something caused by me
With heavy heart
And weary soul
I glare at those who deserve it not
And hate the way they live
Ever I gaze at them from my distant hiding place
With this ill favored look
Of Rag Dolls and their Deaths
discovered now
awoken from deep slumber
i stumble into the bright ligh
and slowly regain consciousness
trusting and new i once was
but never more, only a memory
as time bleeds away
and i am going nowhere
only caged
exploited and misused
sucked dry
i became an empty shell
as advantage is taken
and i am no more than a tool
a pawn in this game of life
to aid, to discard
no longer nessisary
streatched thin
i wither out, turn to grey
and am cast aside once more
to the shadows of the black tree
landing upon the softest glass
suddenly i tear, break, and silence
shards of me fall as stars
and none remember that existence
only searching for a new toy
the doll in death
to be used no more
to lie in solitude
till the sky falls in
and feel no pain
My My My! How DO you do this? Each one more and more complete and expressive! Well Done!
Indeed.
Absent
By: Hirenlor
The day it awoke
To the nightmare of my being
Long shores had awaited me
Dripping in blood along a
Terrible horizon
The day it screamed
When impaled by my suffering
Drowning the sun in my tears
Drenched in my anguish
I bleed
The terrible dawn had caught up with dusk
Fleeting, it was futile
The two merged before my very eyes
Like a movie played out before me
I trembled in fear at the sight of its sorrow
I spread my hands about me
Cold atmosphere around me
The world lay hung from its neck
Deliberatly trying to save me
And now it is absent
This cold about my fingers
Never does the sun rise
To drown my world in fear.
Difference
Is it really so far this distance between?
Can it limit exchange
Or veil the unseen?
If taken in moments can it increase in measure
Does it sharpen the focus
Creating displeasure?
If counted as days will it darken the hour
Will it shroud all our meetings
And contacts devour?
If sorted by weeks shall it grow and consume
Till silence compels
Those not yet entombed?
If noted in months or as passing years
Has it power to cancel
Or engender our tears?
This distance between might cradle the stars
Or cadence the snowfall
In winters chill wars
The limit it sets or the lengths it constrains
When taken as sovereign
Destroys what remains
Never
By: Hirenlor
Nor out of the wind
Ended in sorrow
Vexed to live another day
Ending it seems so far
Regret pathed a far lost trail
Come Home
By: Hirenlor
“What are you looking at?”
He said at a glace
“Nothing” I say
we stare off into the distance
Quiet like the wind
My shepherd stands while I sleep
Propelled like stars
Thrown into this universe
These diamonds carved in patterns along his soul
A trail for those to encompass
And as I doze I realize that night will not come
And the darkness was there
Where home should be
But comfort on the hill I have found
A new home alongside the shepherd
Who kneels beside me as I sleep
“Here is your heart” he whispers gently
Sat upon the hill he gazed up
The wind blowing lightly
Brushing against my hair
I wake up
But home is not there
Terrified at the darkness, I gaze up as well
The stars overhead
Glittering like eyes
The shepherds call
To dream in sleep
And so sleep I shall
Upon this hill where my heart is
home.
I think the very best thing about poetry is the gift the poet gives to the reader, the gift of freedom. The reader is at liberty to interpret the words within the construct of their own experience and emotional being at the time of reading…..I see, I am sure, nothing of what is actually intended or expressed, but I do enjoy the process of imbibing the expression….for example: Come Home. What I see is simply Christ’s tender concern for one of his own, one of the sheep of his pasture. The Hill, Calvary? where he fulfilled all for us? The darkness? the horrible darkness of the soul unmindful of His passion? and of course home being that union with Him…I loved this poem so much. thank you
Figments and Delusions
laughing at myself
thinking through a melted mind
as overheated hearts explode
and i sing of the insane
a familiar feeling
why do i laugh, you ask
i say because you are not real
as the night and day
life and death
time that drips out of our concern
all figments and delusions
as i fall behind in this race of life
it seems i am not living
only watching eavesdroping on my thoughts
and empty body
a retrospect to this lie called present
only an observer to my actions
and a shadow to my being
tied to this figment with a name, nothing more
trapped until life releases
delusions of you speaking
from an empty skin
with a ghost tagging behind
meaningless words to explain the inexplicable
undefined sculptures
waiting to be carved
Life as an orphan, death as a son
Breathing now
alive and alone
as innocence is corrupted
and the silence is broken
by the balad to the living
the world flies around me
and i am lost in the middle
surrounded by purple waves
and blue fires
at the ends of the earth
unable to look away
family surrounds
yet none have relations to me
blood brothers
or only strangers
as i see these unknown faces
faces once familiar
around me the stars weep
and the moon turns away
while the bridges are burned
with me on one side
shadows on another
with the world crashing down
ruin turns to shining dust
my last breath is drawn
a whisper in my ear
“goodbye,son”
Wow,AGAIN! Do you never tire of creating such strong visuals? Well I am feeling like I am floating in a different dimension and watching both your feelings and your flesh in some turmoil, and then release. A very very interesting poem, thank you!
Stand by me
By: Hirenlor
Ripples
Created by the line and hook
On this warm evening
I am alone
The sun gives breathe
To the last cool breeze
Ducks scatter across the lake
Finding some other things
Bobbing in the water
My life, so up and down
And yet here before the glistening lake
I am alone
Behind me are the grasses
Waving in the wind
Trees farther back singing songs of the world
Joyous they are, but deaf to my ears
One set of footprints there are behind me
I close my eyes to take in the sun
No thoughts come to cloud my mind
No clouds in the sky to hush their song
A few birds sound in the distance
Singing lullaby’s to all creatures whose hearts do yearn
Cast down and cast aside
Drawn in hook line and sinker
Empty now from the day
The sky blushes from your embarassment
Follow these pairs of footprints back
One of your shame
The other, no name…
nice…
The day i lay down
angry and frustrated
my mind a buzzing hive
fists clentched
beads of sour sweat run down my face
and salted tears are whipped away
ready to burst
as none shall shame me
a second more
a calming breath
as humility returns the sense to my mind
with bitter taste, i tighten once more
retrebution must be paid
as none shall shame me
two more seconds
two more breaths
thought returns, breif and sweet
and reation turns to response
a comment or two they shall hear from me
as none shall shame me
a minuete now
my breathing is normal
face no longer red with rage
as i brace for my resolve
and choke as i swallow my pride
and at this time of the day i lay down
and breath the free air
Betrayal Under the Rose Trees
Show Me
Where have you brought me?
Your pace has quickened
I linger behind, catching up with these steps
All around me
We shall rest under the rose trees
Thorns all around us
To imprison us in this cage of torment
Flames around us
The red ties with petal
Fluttering flames, like the sparks in our eyes
And you shall burn here
Ignite into flame like the hazard in my eyes
And I shall follow
Just as I followed you under these trees
And together we will ignite
Screams as loud as laughter once before
As if triggered by the prick of the thorns
And our eyes shall be the last we see
Ignite again like firey contempt
At last, at will you had led me here
Accomplished
Show me again how we burned
I must
Consume
By: Hirenlor
Stand your ground
For it is falling
Devouring the base of your life
Selfish in it’s attempts to swallow
Grab my hand
I will lift you just enough.
Predecessors drawn in
Laughing as their faces were stretched
By your guilt
You look up at me with tears in your eyes
Falling to the ground
The believers below engulfed in the heat of flame
Slowly falling
Slowly slipping
I look into your eyes and see everything
Everything we had done
Everything you had done
I shall not forgive you
wow all i can say is great poems guys. dang you guys rock even more than me! jk love you guys keep it up!
Clouds Of Love
Taking my breath of air
I awake thinking of you and only you
you fill me with joy
you fill me with love
lets enjoy the sunset
lets enjoy our true love
soar high above the clouds with me
grasping your hand with all my might
never let go
dont break my heart
hold my hand
with all your strength
with all your love
soaring the skies
clouds soft as your lips
lay with me
on top of a cloud
taking us far far away
to create our on fairy tale
Deepest Meadows
Walking the meadows with you
forgetting all my worries with you
finally feeling whole
finally feeling loved
your smile
your everything
filling my heart with happiness
escape with me
to the deepest meadows
were no one resides
just me and you
love right behind us
running to catch up to us
Wow dude, both of them were soo soo good. I could picture them both… The second one especially. Love will meet new bounds when you find yours.
thanks dude for some reason i love writing love poems lol.
The silver rain in faded light
unrest thrives in my weary soul
growing in my mind
and taking my emotions
as it drains away my life
night covers the earth
as twilight gives way to the bitter moons light
that shines with faded light
greiving for the world
i lay my head down
upon the sharpest knife
with thought of sorrow sinking deep
and i pray for the peace of sleep
to heal my pain
in a dream
the air sweet and cool
in a place where the rain falls eternal
in silver ribons dancing gracefuly to the ground
and the sun never shines
as tall trees sway as fire in the wind
with tall shadows to keep me company
and no one around to break the silence
that is the peace that reigns
but only in my dreams
i awake now
dreading the torment
of motion so unmoving
and running in circles
in a race unwon
and again i pray
for the peace of sleep
Ok,a bit confusing in the middle…not exactly sure how to interpret, but beautiful use of words.
gooooood poem nick you are really good at this!
:]
Sanity Strike
half conscious i fall to the ground
as you punch wholes in my heart
and kill the feel of life
with insults
throwing at me your sticks and stones
and incinerate my tears
lying on the blackened ground
fleeting breaths tear through my lungs
as i tear myself apart
with thoughts of what you have said
clenching my eyes to keep in the pain
wishing you would leave me alone
as i lay dying i begin to think
and wonder why i hate my self
and why your words have cut me so
why i bleed for this
alive i know
no longer can i wait in darkness
dying for you
no longer where you want me
streangth returns to my limbs
stirring thoughts and life to retaliate
i look upon your fair face
a fire burning in your eyes
and turn away
as sanity strikes
Engage
By: Hirenlor
Draw your eyes up to mine
And shutter no more
Bring your contempt with your eyes
And kiss me
Walk along this path of stars
that gazing upon your eyes i create
Dissapate
Dissolve all together within your eyes
Bring up your fists away from my hands
And tell them all your struggle
Like tree against current
So does the channel of your trail
Blaze against my eyes
Tarnish our longings
and cover up our tracks
we shall walk barefoot along these shores
And in the end we will gaze up at the stars
And all will come to find peace
in the lands we found
and the trails we blazed
And the lands we came to die in your eyes
Birds Of Love
Birds flying over me
dancing with the wind
dancing with there mates
i envy there happiness
i envy there love towards each other
flying over the trees
flying over the cities
flying while loving each other
what a beautiful flight of love
i sit thinking
when will my love come
to not feel the envy i do for these creatures
to be equal to all those that love
my heart thumping with ecstasy
waiting with clenched veins for that love
fit for me
i love you guys great great poems, i strongly believe that we should get all of them published. :]
Knifed Heart
My heart broken
feeling the wounds of 1000 knifes
puncture it
beating slowly
beating heavily
my love come to me
make my wounds disappear
make them banish with your touch
your sweet touch of unparalleled love
my heart thumping once again
with such strenght
nearly jumping out of me
i thank you
my heart can once again love
Suffocating Altitude
By: Hirenlor
Together we reached these heights
soffocating along the way
You held my hand when you were about to fall
On the knife I had placed below you
I asked you why you had cried
You told me why you had sighed
the plagues we bore on our breathes
subsided into melancholy
I had loved you for so long
cherished every word
And whim
And by your command I let go of your hand
Adoring you as i fell to the ground
love eternal
I shall share with you the body of our tears
The flight of our fears
As they rose above us
Soffocating in this altitude
Pitiful Stars
you came to me
a dream it seems
warm and soft
with the sweetest aroma that wafts in the air
reaching my eyes a light radiates
you look at me
i see love
you only bring sympathy
and speak to me poeticly
with arms open
i rejoice in your love
yet as i turn
you smile
you have found new prey
fresh for the hunt
and ready your knife
to strike for the heart
i gaze up
and look upon the stars
that see some unseen truth
hidden from me
yet aproaching from within
and i do not sense the bated breath drawing near
now in position
to strike the blow
and i fall to the ground
bloodshot eyes meet to yours
and i see the venom you spit in me
as you turn away
and look for new game
i reach out
and die in the stars
141 poems! Almost there. Work my slaves,work!
Eternal Love
longingly we gaze into the soul of our own
with tears on your face
and blood on mine
release takes me
and you are not ready
to let go of what we had
unwilling to rejoice at peace
peering at you from above
i weep at your sorrow
and freeze inside your love
unable to abandon you
yet longing for rest
as weary eyes blink away the tears
heaven not acheived
you move ahead
and love again
yet chained to you
i see this tragety
and a fading memory of me remains
with bitter love
i traverse your path
fading slowly
so much for this love eternal
Pilgramedge Of Love
Laying across the wasteland
empty inside
no one to love me
no one to care for my deep wounds in my heart
the little strength in me empowers me
to walk the distance to save this wrecked body
darkness takes over my vision
i fall into a deep nightmare
feeling the love ripped out of me
i awake
such beautiful face i see
her soft hands tending my wounded body
her smile tending my heart
through time my wounds heal and so the love in me returns
i continue my pilgramedge
realizing that love saved me
love my savior
love what i have been truly searching for
Move, the Air is Fleeting
By: Hirenlor
Silence when you spoke
gazing into the distance
Seeking to grab hold of the intangible
Both of us now weeping
Our thoughts now shuffled
Thrown around the room in a flurry of thoughts
Circling the room like a flight of birds
Cutting us into pieces
The ceiling collapses
and you hold tight to yourself
embracing our thoughts
igniting into a spark that jumps up suddenly
and joins the stars
And together we can gaze at our star in the sky
And remember why
the distance gained;
The distance lost between us and the ground
Before we fell
Was unreachable
Our hearts quicken
As we dream of our death
Falling down
Can anything be still?
And when you spoke
All was still
And the falling became intangible
as you said
Goodbye
No one
By: Hirenlor
Just by looking around
I can see those who shrugg at me
Empty and pale
I hope I never look the way they do
Their eyes
Inviting to the inevitable
Sinking
I shall come to that pale horizon
I call out to the void
Nauseated
I call up my heart
Shrinking
I shut my eyes
Forgetting how to blink
I can only stare or sleep
Dreams penetrating both my worlds
Now one world for misery
Call me out
to burn
The days say things to no one
“hold on”
Sinking
Feeling the world around me
The smile staring at me
I remember it all
I remember the fall
Down to my waist in thoughts knee deep
Sinking down, I can’t feel my feet
And soon my head has come to course
To blink once more before the source.
The world below has come to burn
all the dreams i had thought to learn
Someone to Falter
By: Hirenlor
I can feel all who pass by
and feel their faces
and though the crowd may be empty
I feel your glance
Teach me how to live
Shoulders brushing my own
As the wind had once done
I am desperate to lie
And feel no crowd
no shame
Skipping stones on the lake
your light catches my eye
racing along the shore
my life has yet to catch up
has yet to learn
Has yet to love
That which has passed by
I will not forget you
but on these shores so alone
I am ready to give in
And sink as the stones
traverse no more
Walk this path to its very end
To feel your gaze no more
Early
There are no words for me to sing Thy praises.
When I observe the dawn’s first rays
As it illuminates the day
And reveals the wonders of the works of your hand
I marvel at the Sky so rich in color and reflected glory
I stand amazed as the stars wink out one by one
Resigning pride of place to the Sun’s richer majesty displayed in
Brilliant hues of red and gold and more, Rainbow’s envy for its visage diverse
The splendor of the stretching rays piercing chasing clouds
Shadowed, superb and silent in celestial array
Exchanging Night’s dusky cloak for Day’s radiant attire
To dance upon the mountain top or skip along the rushing stream
Shouting joyful accolades in echo of the Wind’s own song of glee
Rushing blithely over treetop bough and bending stem alike
Released they partner all creation,
And Life’s rhythm pulses vibrant, charged anew – refreshed and powerful
To raise the paean of exultation and worship of our God.
Half-Alive, Half-Dead
By: Hirenlor
Sitting still for an eternity
half alive, half dead
Searching for the comfort
Dying instead
Living out of a heart unrenew
These feelings of death inside had grew
Can no one hear me through the dark?
You almost got it
Give me time to grab your hand
Remember and draw strength
The presence in the room now growing angry
Flames in his eyes
A discord
Detatched from myself, you saved one half
The other shall watch you from this burning room
Crashing down around me I can but feel the embers
Hoping that one day
I might come down
Raging around me
The fires do burn holes through me
And tear up my skin
So that my flesh is no more
And the soul is left standing
A mold of myself left staring
I’m not sure how
But I think i’m gone now
Running on this fuel that was not
Their cries I can hear shaking these foundations
I will try as I can to make this look fine
and to let you know this decision was mine
half of nothing
half of empty
Handsome as a rose
Prick me, and take a piece of me
Burn through me as the fires did
“Take my hand” you screamed
I looked at you and smiled
For once I smiled…
And let go
2 more to go!!!!!
Cleansed
You call my name high above the mountains
i listen
your voice calming the animals
that voice of the mountain
that voice of the forbidden love
show me the love ive never had
envelop me with the waters
of love
the waters that will save me
the forbidden waters were all humanity’s love resides
i take a drink
the curse in me being released
i can love
i can search for you in peace
knowing that i can give you all the love
all humanity’s love combined
i love you guys so much!!! and dang you guys keep getting better at poetry!!!
Omg so much love, you’re killing me dude haha. Thanks for the poem dude, they are so good! Uno mas!
Wow, Horacio! That is the best you have EVER done! I am so IMPRESSED!
Dethroned
I sat upon a world of luxury
Hearing the chorus surround me
Through the crowd I hear the train
The smoke
a trail to my eyes
The violins play
The people dance
Intoxicating as wine
is this sense to keep moving
Slowly they dance around me
Like watching the sunset
And ever does the train whistle
The only thing moving quickly
And at last things lavish are gone
And a ticket in my hand
take me to the places more lavish than gold
I am here
No faces on the train
only seats to greet my entrance
I kneel before the red seats
And through the doors walks myself
One prince
One pauper
The air still as we stare
As the train moves we are shaken
And suddenly the train is filled with faces
our faces
And all are dressed in a million wears
And they make their wine with a symphony of gestures
On this ride I was on
we were on
wondering what is down the road
What we had given
What we gain
I shall kneel no more
150! Thanks for all the great poems. Seriously, some people here deserve to be published…others, punished…for being soo good. Keep up the great work.

About to Call
By: Hirenlor
Thoughts dancing in my head
Ink falling to the paper
Slow as tears
With all the substance of an emotion
Suspended in time
Walking
Rain colliding with the ground
In a fury of explosions
Much like our curious confrontation
That took place in our heads;
Out our lips
And into the world for all to see
Inked in tears
I hear you at the door
I saw you through them all
Whispering to me the words so dear
Graceful in your acts, now knocking quietly
Muttered in the sounds of collision
I open the door
And see those eyes
We dance in the rain as if to walk upon coals
As soon as I had opened the door
My heart
I shut the door
As you stepped out
Wandering through my mind
Drowning in my thoughts
Now empty and devoid of all want
For reminiscing
And upon journeys to the galaxy
I will cross your shadow
Upon the dial
About to turn the clock backwards
One number at a time
I thought then
No turning back
not tonight
Which turn may count as the contrary
I spent my thoughts to buy you a dress
In which we could dance again
Drowning
Devoid of air
All these faces in which you lingered
Now coming to a halt
Tears and rain freeze around me
And now I am suspended in this hour
About to call
Hanging up
Numb me please
From this pain in my heart
Now empty and alone
Who will dance with me in the rain
All my attempts are now in vain
Since cutting yours
And letting out a new shower to drown our tears
To ignite my fears
I’ll tell you again why I answered the door
And why now it pains me to think
you live no more
All These Poems
words read
understanding withheld
not for lack of desire to see, to touch to taste this truth….
rendering here the finality of this expression
locked unbending, giving up nothing not scripted on the surface
unable to know the full
surrendering then to the only piece that is found
the echo of the voice that sang
Laments to the balads of love
passing lines
as we traverse these roads
trailing dust where ever we go
as a sign of prides
or egos to show
alone we walk these long desolate roads
until we reach the crossroad
i saw your face
you gazed into mine
and within that moment
we knew where to go
as we strolled along together
upon the horizon of radiant time
and danced under the crash of the sun
at the burning twilight our souls intertwined
destined it seemed
for life walking the country roads
to sing the sweet songs
of love and joy
inhailing the clear pure youth
until the day our paths led away
and as i turn the road
you go the other way
as a girl with green eyes gazes back
in lament to the love songs
Turn the Page
By: Hirenlor
Don’t let the fireside burn into you
Instead,
vent its ambitions
Be zealous in your attempts to make flame
To persevere in the night
And outshine the brightest star
Shy in its attempts
You shun the moon
Quivering smiles in the dark
Up ahead is the now dark road
That you now walk upon
Flame in your eyes to light the way
All alone, alone is today
Turn the page to another story
Write a sonnet to yourself
Whom you shunned in the darkness
And left behing with the moon
To dwell forever in the paths walked
Forgotten
But never does a page make no sense
And always does a word contribute
To your smile
Don’t stop reading
To end this story now is your choice
The most you could do is frown
And stick to this web in your mind
Close the cover and let the poison sink in
The spider dwells within
Consuming your flesh
Heating by the flames of ambition
You sought to walk along these paths
Not yet traveled
Two
Two hands pick up the page to read the words left by another
Holding thoughts and emotions like a nest of eggs unhatched.
Two eyes read there things; they cannot find the meaning
Yet the silent sound of this order is an invitation to linger
And take time to ponder, repeating what is read out loud
Just to savor the sound of those words and wonder why these
And not others to say more clearly
Why hide the thought or lure the imagination to these uncharted realms?
Two eyes read again and find another depth another path to wander
Finding reminiscence and novelty wrapped in syllables prompting reply
If only in the mind, if only just a fleeting thought that hovers there
Just above reach, just beyond response, just past comprehension
Two tears fill and overflow the eyes, the eyes not green, not dark
Two tears that trace the sorrow of a race unrun
A journey left untaken
A song left unsung
woooo great poems my friends! keep up the damn good job!!! :]]]]]]]]]]]]
To raise the white flag
perplexed by predicament
to young to understand
as i sit within the most torrential storm
with a place inside each rebeling cloud
and also in the peaceful sky
expending spirit upon the rage of my thunderous heart
and upon restraining the lighting that comes
out of mind
as the heatwave rolls over
and conditions break the floodgates
that are my will
broken down
i plumet to the earth
and crack on concern
with fleeting sanity scrambling beneath
the wars tumble together
anihilating thought
with life now a puzzle
more complexe than concevable
i sink to the bottom a sea of love
as the preasure crushes me
i sit and think
is it time to surrender
and raise the white flag
Endless tales from the Bard
come one come all
and sit with minds open
and comprehend whatever tale you create
from my book so maliable
searching through the words
minds shall dance around the sparks
of life and love
and sing out their sorrows
for death and fear
imagining reality
full of lies and truth
with expirience the ages are wise
both the young and the old
yet only those who read this book may see it
reap the sow
of hard work
and idleness
to feast upon whatever you weild
and as your tale reaches a stand still
time waits for you as it moves ahead
waiting to fill these pages
and cast the book into the pile
as my tale is unread
for it is my own
open the pages, and write in the end
a tale is closing
so long a road was traversed
and toils work for the spoils of war
that have tumbled through your story
of wich all end
with a theme differing
as all good conqueres evil
and all characters fade
no imortal life shall be tred
upon this path that runs ahead of your feet
through dangers and comfort
within the mind, weighing the heart
marking your passport
with stickers and stamps
as travels end
with retiring quarters
you must turn to the pile and find your book
as now you have an ending
Always is there time for a Sequel
your part has ended
or so it seems
yet with few remaining breaths
there is still time
for perhaps one last chapter
to right your rongs
and repent fell sins
observing past mistakes
that haunt you into the future
now the knowlage of a lifetime to dispose
the shadows of guilt fade into time
as bookmarks to important chapters
that can always and forever
teach someone new
parts of this tale
are dark and mournful
yet through this storm
your emotions have endured
and still a pulse can be felt in your hands
with a will as deep as the concept of soul
you cannot be undone
only perhaps redone
into a better being
from reading through
this knowlage once your own
now made public
thinking back
full life you have lived
and now you can compose
music for the soul
to bring joy
and wisdom
to those who outlive
and those who long shall have
a better outlook on life
now an observer, your peice is out of play
you may rest in peice
as part of the bards
endless history
A World of Contempt
In content
I watch the dancers fly
Lifting with waivering wings
Fluttering in the darkness
Yet content they are with their
disposition
Inquisition of their content
Satisfied as they are
Never to dream or fly afar
Never to listen, never to sleep
In their slumber they shall keep
A tidy home on the verge of collapse
A happy family with squall and squalor
Ever do they hollar
In this contest of life they are tied to sacks
The dancers fly with stones on their backs
The childs face
disposition
Of this contempt
This inquisition of sores and nails
Priory store our faces
So we may look upon ourselves and be content.
Silent Songs
I saw myself
An incomplete figure
Desolate and content
Yet in one glance I felt it
My eyes were so dim
Within these windows
I saw no light
Only smothered embers under heavy whispers
That grasp and choke
That night I knelt
neath the moonlite sky
and prayed for a song
of hope and joy
to banish the dark within my mind
there came no answer
but then my faith surrendered not
and once more I knelt
Now I hear them
the silent songs
with captivating voices
from deep within my soul
they sing aloud, hopeful and joyous
clearing the shadows with vivid ringing
sweet and sincere as bells in the night
my death in life
is now undone
renewed I begin
set now into the light
a second chance it seems
to see like the faithful
with closed eyes
and open heart
Jaw drops…..
Meadows Of Ash
Drifting towards the river
along side you
grasping your hand tightly
drifting farther into the wild
farther deeper
just temtation dragging us forward
not knowing the real feeling of love
lust deceiving us as love
fire blazing wild
lust blazing wild
deceiving me once again
the meadow turned to ash
taking with it our grasping hands
two blows
wrecking my heart
in an instant
Stars of the Hunter
By: Hirenlor
lazily adrift an open sky
with the sea in our eyes
We wished the stars of the hunter
That one prize to call his own
Dragging our feet we were silent
Only the songs of the heavens was heard
By the wishful ear
Yearning for that open ocean
That golden horizon
We spoke no more of the tribulations
but in our hearts we were yet raw
Bleeding without healing
The ocean of our pain we did create
And sailed on together down to the meadow
The hunter in the sky
Bow in hand
drifting along in the heavens
As we were drifting along
The hunter will claim his prize
As the heavens shall grant us
one steady star
skyline
a rolling world flashes through my sight
going about at the speed of light
not realizing all i have missed
lax and stale, unmoved by emotion
the fiber of being unweaved
incomplete all feeling crumbled
gazing out at the structures around me
moving and breathing
this family is one
yet to me
the distance of the sky
i see through my eyes
before i see them
so distant and small
i began to feel cold
as they drifted away
yet one was there
who above always stayed
and granted me hope
through the darkest days
within my cleared eyes
i can see the skyline
and everything in between
wow, it sounded alot better when i remembered the atcual stuff i wanted to write when i thought of it three days ago
nick i love you!!!!!!
<3
Windswept
By: Hirenlor
Placid
When all stands still to watch
and wait for something
to happen
Given luxury
Take from the bird his only song
All become fatigued when weary
Placid
Desert winds
Coursing through the shrub
gentle yet fierce
Burning longing into your soul
Static
Given breath
one does die
alone and afraid
What thoughts may provoke his mind
And become windswept
with time
Ignored
By:Hirenlor
To be ignored
is nothing more than lighting a fuse
within us all lurks a monster
provoked by your false authority
Turning ghosts within us
Feeding off your dreadful composure
Entirely
your fault
Who is to blame?
Call the murder victim criminal
For screaming too loudly
Wishful thinking
comes to mind
And I wish upon you
no less than contemp
Eager and Zealous
I shall storm you with provocation
And yet said or unsaid
To be ignored
is nothing light lightning
nothing is beautiful
not your words
your ignorance
Save me from this devastation
Before I wreck myself entirely
Every inch of distance placed
I shall move ever slowly
For with the wind of consideration
malnourished
who yet may still move hastily
Not I
Not I
Not I
Plague
By: Hirenlor
I saw them soaring in
Tattered emblems
of a diseased enterprise
malicient militiamen
Rollig the hills
like the sound of thunder
Wishing lesser on all men of stature
Who then may call himself noble?
Troublesome quarry
We will not be so easily drawn in
Not the tide nor the moon itself
Shall draw our course inwards
We shall set courses of the stars
To dance upon moon and gale
and watch as their bullets
Drop hastily out of range
The mercantile militia
They shall feel the pulse of our march
The storm of anger that shall arise from honor
Our wind shall carry a plague
For which no man could traverse the sickness
guess if you can the capacity of humility
But in the end you shall be swept by
the plague
Waiting Upon Rescue
By: Hirenlor
Here we are
men
men who control the world
men who save lives
conquer lands
live up to the shadow of the sun
Lost
men that wait to gain
in vain
Hand outstretched
seeking comfort in the touch of
a woman
Seeing the world through the eyes
of their man
The man that is the world to them
That has not to conquer
or control
or save
But instead
Share the image of the world
And waith with hand outstretched
For a little longer
Pass Me Your Hand
By: Hirenlor
Strike hard
And aim for what has been predestined
Dominion over your steady hand
Strike hard
And with your hand against me
Your Knife within me
What difference does the blood make?
Killing is your leisure
Tell me everything
Now that you’re obliged
And I will read your palm
Shaking like trees in the wind
Your breath cold
Like shattered glass
Floating like ghosts against black sheets
Cover my eyes
I’m already dead
But I had asked
And I told
As you had told me everything
Which was just enough to kill me
Before the knife had struck
But you are not the cause of tragedy
No, the redeemer
Although the truth was enough to shatter me
Destroy me
I felt no pain
I was the ghost of your breath
The shadow of your steps
And ever did you step upon me
But never did I quiver
For I was near you
And that makes the pain
All the more bearable.
Blurry
By: Hirenlor
Wake up
And open your eyes to this blurry world
No choice in the matter
You’re a failure at seeing
A failure at believing
Unclear
As if drowned from crying
Hard it is to travel the path
Concealed in your tears
Slippery from your sorrow
Encompass your view in servitude
Trapped
To wake up to a blurry world
Shut your eyes tight
And imagine
Dream as you might of peace and frolic
But futile are your efforts
For ever will your view of the world be compromised
As if it were your choice
You signed this pact
You walk this line
You live this life
And when you cry
You make life more blurry
Divine Right
My life is my own
it cannot be changed
by the will of another
who’s judgment is unfit
My words are my own
they weep out through my soul
and sing bold and loud
they cannot be changed
by the simple minds
who cannot comprehend
my thoughts are my own
both genius and insane
that I ponder so deeply
I begin to drown
they cannot be changed
by the mobs of colorless faces
or the beliefs that spread as fire
My visions are my own
clear and sharp and beautiful
unclouded by my pain
they cannot be changed
by the horror that surrounds
searing through my mind
My feelings are my own
such warmth inside
to share with the world
they cannot be changed
by the cold sharp glances
and bitter words that i receive
My dreams are my own
to follow the desire of my heart
that aches and loves together as one
for the open wounds of the world
they cannot be changed
by the holders of the world
who rule by power to drain our individuality
Never shall I falter
to defend what is mine
by the divine right
of the only true king
ehhh, kinda weird now that i read it
Hearts and Spades
Such tender love
enveloping in such intoxicating emotion
to flood out the bitter things that take root in my heart
yet such joy cannot last
in the moment I think
spines and spikes rip holes and gashes
that bleed out my hope
for a returning of what I once had
upon both knees
head held down
my heart betrays me
and feels only pain
beating slowly and heavily
it falls from my chest
and shatters on the ground
long passes
and love is around
in the people who accept me
yet still through this
i am unable to express
what once came so easily
for the road of recovery would be long
and sad
but before i can begin
all falls to ruin
death claims those who are close
leaving me behind
to traverse roads desolate and lonley
old wounds reopen
and bleed anew
gasping in fear
choking back tears
the final thread long cut
no longer can i hold on
without the help
of one with a heart
ugh, another weird one, and for hen, i posted two, not just this weird one
: )
I suppose we all disparage our own efforts at expressing our thoughts and emotions, but I am still standing trying to catch my breath from reading these two poems. I liked the first better, possibly because I like the form you used. It is almost architectural in its construct, and I like that. The second one is a very interesting variation on a theme you like to return to, so it is like a familiar melody to me and I can easily see where it will go though I can never see from where it comes! Still, you are a painter of words, Bard, and your brush finds detail and color and texture with every one you employ. I am delighted that you decided to share some more of them with us!
Hunted in the Future
striding through a labyrinth
ever changing walls keep hidden paths
as i hurry to escape
the malificent beings that persue
due to the road my life followed
through the dark
ill bought fame
power not truly mine
such devious cards i played
in such a dangerous game
i spared no expense
to gain these things
that turned to dust so quickly
flowing in the wind
it started all so simply
perfect, all was mine
yet over time, thoughts of what were done
returned to haunt my glory
turning trust to suspicion
admiration to envy
and love to hate
the walls seem to shrink
closed off on all sides
desperatly trying to claw at the walls
that moan and whisper
fell words to me
saying escape is impossible
to late to repent
they cannot be true
i cling to that hope
that forgivness is still waiting
and escape shall be opened
as all other sences fade
demented laughter followes me
and as i turn my head i see
my past is glaring back at me
Ah! I like this new thread you are weaving into the fabric of your poetry! I like the whole idea of the labyrinth. A place where things are unable to be seen until come upon and the past seems just behind the last corner turned waiting to pounce should your try to go back the way already trod…
Sheltered Embrace
chaos is the norm of this world
that struggles for peace
by bringing war
and claims equality to all
exept those who are different
Lies are the poison of this world
whos residence aspire to find the truth
hiding their own secrets
by diging up anothers
until nothing about them is trustworthy
Wealth burns through this world
ambitious at first
greedy at the end
no amount is enough
no poverty is desevant of a share
Shallow souls split this world
because of the people who see
in superficial ways
discriminating towards the undesirables
soon to be discarded
words terrorize the teary eyed man
who dwells upon this world
finding no refuge from the endless barage
exept in the warm sheltered embrace
of love retuned from another
still the knowlage remains
we must all rejoin the fray
Chaos, Lies, Wealth, Shallow Souls, Terrorizing Words, all the personifications that despoil what could have been an Edenic world….This could have been just another despairing poem, and you lifted it from the pit of sorrows with the last quatrain echoing the title and giving wings to hope. Nice nice nice poem.
Wishing Upon The Sun
Strolling the night
sorrow engulfing my thoughts
stars glimmering above me
flashing
radiating with light
with hope
shooting stars
shooting across the endless universe
i make my wish
the star exploding upon my wish
why?
why has my only hope deserted me?
is my wish that worthless?
the sea roaring near me
i follow the roar
my wishing star laying in pieces
near the shore
the sea swallowing it piece by piece
every piece sinking
down to the bottomless sea
the horizon gleaming with light
sun rising
revealing the path i should take
without the help of a wishing star
Haunting Echos
Echos of love
echoing around me
waking me from my sleep
haunting my every step
i cover my eyes
i cover my ears
i shield my heart
from the echos that curse me
remove this curse bestowed upon me
who would bestow this curse upon my fragile shoulders?
what bad ill have i caused?
upon deaf ears and blinded eyes
the echos still haunt me
depressing my life
depressing my every move
i run far
far to the ends of the earth
the echos coming to a slow stop
i open my closed eyes
seeing that face
which haunted my eyes
that voice which echoed in my ears
the echoes being a blessing
a map
leading my way towards love
Hey great poems dude, i like the first one alot…the sea..it can be used in so many ways. Again, great poems!
Precision
By Hirenlor
You struck my heart in ways no words could describe
A scribe to your indulgence
Intrigue me with your white walls
Just as I would get lost in your eyes
I get lost within these streets
That are all but askew
Painting a canvas
not all who wander are lost
But seek the truth in something they can never touch
Never find
“you’re getting closer” they say
Keep that in mind
Desperation would cause such inaccuracy
But every time the strike was the same
Running through the fields
Gazing at the stars
Dreaming together
but never
I’ll write a song
A tale if you must
Of how I broke my own trust
To tear my heart nevermore
But I know i’ve felt this once before
To take that walk upon the ocean shore
And indulge in your silence.
Shame
By: Hirenlor
I was on the verge of falling
Looking down at no easy feat
To let myself go
To fall from great heights
To forgive myself
Wonders and troubles
Surrounded by flames
Engulfing my home
Gasping for air
I will not relent
I will not pass my life into your hands
I’m walking alone now
These sidewalks stained in shame
Too feeble an attempt
Too late for change
Hammering myself in the ground
unable to see the light
Dim
Dark
The last of these rules shall be mine
And I shall take them to the grave with me
And to the grave I shall go
Let go
I fall from these heights
Finally realizing
A life I live
A life I die in shame
The Sound of Heartbreak
By: Hirenlor
Lingering in my mind
Contemplating things unsaid
Things that I dread
So long ago
And yet so close to my heart
Lay your ear down on my chest
Can you hear it
Swallowing completely
Wallowing
A sound from an empty pit
That of a tiny bell having fallen 50 feet
Into the void below
Falling into my heart
Don’t follow the echoes
They are but fragments of my misery
Shattered glass
That bleeds the soul dry
Makes the strong cry
Die
Two horizons
Lips speaking
Kiss them and they smile
But out of those lips comes a void
You try to comprehend
But it is you
You so far away
Not to hear the words
Yet so close to my heart
Listening as it shatters
Their shards glistening in the sun
Falling 50 feet
Into your heart
Tearing you apart
Wake up
This must be a dream
Glimmer
They will ask if my heart is still beating
Bleeding perhaps
Throwing a fit of its own red tears
Over the aches and pains it has endured
And they will not try to bring it back
To allow it no more suffering
Is the greatest sound it will hear
Forsaken
long lost in the black twisted grove
once it whispered promises of a better life
and love
green grass and painted leaves fall away
consumed by greif and a long wavering heart
the world turns to ashes
a road forms before your feet
and forks up ahead
as everyone whatches to see your choice
you look down one path to see a reaction
disapproval on all faces
yet the other offers the same reward
you fall to your knees
a tear lands upon you dusty hand
and in that tear you see a face
neither friendly nor opposing
my face looks at yours
trying to comprehend what is beyond maturity
conflicted feelings of pity and dissaproval
i cannot sympathize with your story
for it is unknown to me
never before have we met
never before have we spoken
only stories from two people I hold dear
my opinion is unbias
both compasionate and cold
yet my veiw of all is as some may say, dim
years may it be till i shall understand
the right choice
yet i must make one now
the world is difficult
so unfortunatley
never sugarcoated
TO CHRIS ONLY, ALL OTHER EYES PLEASE DO NOT READ!
things seem to be getting difficult with the last situation we talked about at the hotel…
Prayer the the Seperated
Dim light flickers from a flame o’ so pure
one that burns deep in my soul
as I kneel before you and ask for guidence
feeling such divine serenity
puting my heart at ease
Lord hear my prayer
desperation took her as her eyes were blind
beleiving she was abandoned and alone
she strayed from you light
and was swept off her feet
farther and farther, until darkness took her
no longer able to hear the silent songs
of the angels
stranded on her own
I spoke to her out of compassion
snd was regected o’ so bitterly
for her life was confusing and cold
she began to question herself
and her beleifs
knowlonger knowing
how much more ther is than this
slowly she dissolves in her own dispair
as I try to catch the dust
and bring her back to the land of the living
I begin to feel I have done all I can
to save my friend
so this is my prayer for the seperated girl
Lord hear my prayer
Dead Friends
By: Hirenlor
Pouring rain
I mourn for thee
Your black coffin standing beside me
I go to your side
And try as I might to see you resting
There is nothing
Absence in your wake
Uncanny it would seem
I mourn for those living
As if they were beside me
In a black box
With rain pouring down like no other
Visuals expressed from the failing heart
Or nothing more than bitterness from being apart
Run away and meet the dead
Thier faces as clear as the sunrise
But bringing no warmth
but cringing pain
While standing here in the pouring rain
It feels as though i’ve reached the end
And try as I might to mend
I die
To lay beside you in our resting places
But I will the the first and last
To be laid to rest
Mud sinking down the cracks
Struggling to get out
But no one can hear my screams
For I am the one dead tonight
“let me out”
“let me out!”
“I’m sorry”
Into the Fray
By: Hirenlor
Grab your weapons
And rally to my showering call
Looking around
Nothing but familiar faces
And theirs grinning at me
Grab your sticks and stones
Grab your swords and shields
Grab your guns and grenades
We shall be made monuments this day
The first shot is heard
As we go roaring into battle
Like thunder across the sky
God grant us wings
Slaying down these familiar faces
All these demons
And helping friends to defeat them as well
My hand to steady your gun
And yours to fire
I turn around to confront my own demon
Standing there I gaze in hatred
Everything I hate
Looking right into my eyes
I take up my sword
Fight! I cry
The demon laughs a horrible laugh
Trembling the ground
Bringing tear to my eye
“Don’t you see?” he says
I look around
And he laughs once more
I fall to my knees
And then finally the ground
Watching with last glance the battlefield
Not one corpse of friend or foe
Just nothingness
I take last breath
As I am struck by my own sword
And he does nothing but stand there
And watch me bleed
Watch me die
Watch me cry
The Illusion of Freedom
The Pursuit of Heaven
By: Hirenlor
Signs pointing in every direction
Leading you astray where ever you may go
Turn your eyes and gaze down a weary road
And travel the path with one pair of footsteps
Your own
You’ve been here before
Dozens of times
Spiraling out of control
Until your legs are shaking and you cant keep up
And upon that last step you fall to the ground
Locked up in a room with no windows
You push through the walls
As you have pushed through life
Every weight and every scar
And in your heart you feel false relief
For fate shows one path now
That branches into many courses
Ride them like a river
And float to your destination
A freedom away from this place
This place that has cause you pain
Stolen your heart
And set you apart
You run out into the open
So unaware
Like prey in the pasture
“Keep running” you’ll get somewhere
But these roads are deceiving
They turn in twist
Like that of your dreams
And they eventually lead to the same place
Always back to the start
Facing the walls of you haven you sigh
And push through once more to run
You may not be going anywhere
But the feeling of going somewhere
is enough
Dont Laugh at my Paintings…
Am I Truly So Distorted
that one can only stare in discomfort
a stare which points out the freak among us
perhaps only to you and me
am I truly so sickened
that the air shatters as I walk by
cascading down as glittering rain
rain with a razors edge
never will it be so sweet to me
the undesireable
am I truly so demented
that not even the storm will accept me
buffeted by insults
I am both doubletaken and looked away
by the o’ so simple minds
misunderstood and unable to stand
broken heart and broken body
one day though
things will be better
pretty funny the mixup of you two poets using the same xfire and in the process confusing all of us! But, Bard, wow again, and thrice: wow!!! (read: WWWOOOWWW!!!!!!!) Don’t Laugh at my Paintings… well, just the title alone jets the imagination to unknown destinations! but then, again you have defined a particular response and resulting emotional state with your carefully crafted lines. And the really odd thing was…I was right there in that very place tonight…and you just came on and painted it. Laugh at your paintings? No one laughs at Picasso!
Playing the Instrument That is Your Heart
By: Hirenlor
Holding out your hands above an open flame
To bring warmth to a body surrounded by cold
The winter wind brings a wind
That plays your heart
Each finger prick causes a pain
And each attempt to shield yourself in vain
You focus your gaze on the flame
And listen to nothing but the winds song
And loose yourself in it
Thrown into chaos
An uncontrollable fire
That burns your hands and scars them brilliant colors
Trembling flesh
A cracking sound in the chorus
Frail is your body
Yet you run frantically for a way out
Flames falling everywhere
Pillars crashing down
Meeting you at every step
You open your eyes for a glint of the flame
Now do you remember?
“Save me”
The cold encroaches
Causing your eyes to close once again
The reflection of flame slowly overtaken
How long will it take for you to awaken?
Splash water around as you might
It transforms into steam
Rising above from every direction
Like pale ghosts screaming one last time
Sirens to the flames
And there you stand gazing all around
The flames dance in millions of colors
Their reflections painted all over your eyes
slowly fading
One last prick on the string
You fall to your knees
And as the flames engulf you
You close your eyes
And picture that small little flame dancing there
Amongst the cold
There can be no warmth
Which of you Wants to Challenge Me?!
come at me child
I will stand my ground
facing your overwhelming numbers
all only digits on my hand
but wont you reconsider this
persisting with a heated heart, hatred burns
both our stances taken
its time to dance
and see who it is, faithless or faithful
circleing round, the crowd cheers for you
but morale is usless to one still asleep
swinging at me such a sharp weapon
that has no chance to hit
for I am unshakeable
you taunt me with baited breath
waiting for an opening
always attacking, never listening
I shall not fall to one
so unfortunatly single minded
so come at me child
I will stand my ground
taking each word with another cheek to turn
for your hollow spirit can never break
the thing unknown to you
called faith
what does talent taste like? as you hold the perfect turn of phrase on your tongue? and gently suck its vibrance inward to warm the heart and light the soul?
What does earnestness feel like as you grasp the edges carefully ensuring no mar can dull its scythe of honest harvest word for word.
What does a soul hold that can fill another’s and yet retain more to spill into the world’s emptiness and quench the thirst of hollow waiting…
ask the Bard, for he holds the secrets safe within himself only too happy to share them in fleeting glances with those of us who wait to listen, wait to hear the next gift.
you’ve got a friiiieeend in me..
You Shun the Bard as if he is a Begger
I see your expression
as you attempt to discretly mock me
thinking I will never know
how badly you think of me, without any basis
I come to face you
eye to eye, but you flee from me
so incredably weak
yet so incredably cruel
I hear your voice
over the clamour of the masses
laughing and gesturing in ways ment to cut
as I sing my poems aloud and strong
I feel your hate
that has manifested without reason
bold and edged on, it grows ever stronger
as you call me a fake
continue as you may
witless words cannot harm me
only fuel my poetry
Glittering Abyss
As im walking sun glittering upon me
my thoughts begin to run around like crazy
thinking
and thinking
making my way to the only place where i feel safe
the place where i can be at rest
the place where life stops
my home the place were love does not ring in my head
sweating and teary eyed
i keep walking
to my sanctuary
to be at peace from my thinking
those thoughts of pain
those thoughts that pierce my bruised body
when will it end
only the almighty knows
until then
wish for my salvation
before my thoughts engulf me once and for all
into the abyss of thoughts
Your Only Jealous of my Insanity
This is all only glass and mirrors
Distorting the truth in such humorous ways
That we all laugh hysterically
Laughing at such sad images, frowns turned upside down
Never trying to see what that image is, but accepting it and moving on
The twisted faces not truly twisted get mocked and ridiculed
Lost in that house of glass and mirrors
Amazing what a trick of the light can do to you
Human to monster in only a second
Watched from the audience, fear closes in
Cheering and booing and everything in between is thrown at you
So dance little monster, give them all a show
Something to talk about
From your bad night in the spotlight
Escaped from your cage, you flee from that place
Across despair and grief
Anger and hatred
You begin to laugh at yourself, and at all the pretty faces that looked in at you
Stumbling along, you reach my grove
Lit by moonlight and candles
You speak to me and see
That I am you and you are me
Without me, you would be so dull
Yet you always run away from me
Your only jealous of my insanity
isn’t the world just so strange
Fortitude for A Shaken Heart
By: Hirenlor
Come into my sanctuary
and lay your eyes to rest upon its rocks
Its crevices
And smiles
Warmth all around you
With a small fire dancing in the center
But don’t turn around
For you may be frightened by what you see
Turning the page
Reading the story of my life aloud
In the center of a crowd
With a fire ablaze in his eyes
Here on the dawn he brings new life to the word shame
Turn your face and look into mine
The eagerness in my eyes
For you not to see
Not to hear
Listen to the fire’s cracking
Overtaking the screaming of the crowd outside
And promise me you won’t fall asleep
Is there anything to keep this flame burning?
To keep these faces shimmering on the walls?
To keep these walls up around me?
This is fortitude for the heart
In their faces and in these places
Away from the preacher
And his words which spout blood
Staining clothes and covering the walls
Slowly the fire dies
Don’t fall asleep
Come Home
By: Hirenlor
Don’t worry
There will be a time when everything is placid
Where the lake is calm under the sky
And the mountains are left breathing the morning air
Take Care
For His watchful eyes are upon us
And seek comfort in the warmth that dawns in the coldest hours
And do not hesitate to smile
It pushes the breath through the valley
Giving song to the lovers heart
Look ahead
And don’t look back
You and I shall pave new roads
Back to the place we call home
A refuge made along this road we walk
And although the bricks may be heavy
The breath that pushes us ever on
Will keep us foward ti’ll we get there.
Only Us and the World We Made Live
By: Hirenlor
It is popular belief that
Life is a game of survival
But since when were we popular?
We look upon smug faces coldly
And move on with our lives
Stretched along this open land
Under the sun, the sky, the clouds
We shall travel until the stars come out
And then we shall gaze upon them
And their reflections in our eyes will stay there forever
Our hopes and dreams glittering in plain sight
A few pushes here and there
And a few hot days under the sun that tried to stop us
But for the heat outside
there was a warmth within
That kept us cool
And kept us warm
The oceans could not stop us
Once we reached the oceans our minds told us to keep going
And our hearts gave us hope
That one day we’d both make this world live
That the land around us would pave itself
And lead into the meadows
Where there we were not expected to follow a path
But wander where our hearts wanted
Then and there we would visit the graves of our tragedies
Lay a flower that burns on site
Still hot, but we shall not touch
Continue along this path into the horizon
It is popular belief that the grass is always greener on the other side
And what if not?
We laugh
Who was to say we were looking for grass?
What we were searching for all along
Was escape.
Hey bro i loved them poems, both were great. :]
Welcome to this Distant Land
Welcome friends, to this distant land
Amazing isnt it
All contained in my mind
To let you in, perhaps a fatal mistake, I wish you hadnt asked
for me to show you who I am
how desperatly I am hoping
that you will survive
stepping out onto the vast ashen plane, you begin to weep
as lonley images flash through your eyes
stripping your memories of comfort and joy
slowly wandering through the endless groves
pespective dims down to a point where nothing is clear
all that you done, every achievment and failure
are now all superfluous
insignificant
wading through such shallow dark waters
the cold makes you go numb
your feelings fade away
perhaps now you know how hard it is
to live with the torment of unfeeling
will you think of me the same, fondly and with care
or will you too try to shun me
now that you know how I am
either way, im still glad you survived
Do not Weep, I will not Wait Here in Repose
Smile my dear, so that I might smile too
Don’t sit there writting
such a sad monody
Though my flesh has faded, as all flesh does
In soul I have finally had release
something I have so long desired
was so gracefully brought to me
Smile my dear, so that I might smile too
spend no more years mourning my passing
Singing your sad monody
Happily ascended I peer over the edge of heaven
to see what you are doing
always brought to sorrow, such pain I have caused you
One day we will unite, and on that day, please accept my apology
Smile my dear, so that I might smile too
have no guilt for moving on
rip up that sad monody
and begin to write
a shining paean
My body is burried
Never to be seen again
but do not fear, I never liked it anyway
do not fear, I will not wait here in repose
The Dying
By: Hirenlor
I am a failure at breathing
dreaming, believing
I have time to shout
To an open crowd
My echo traversing about them
Their barriers impenetrable by my sorrow
Listen
The walls of the earth come crumbling down
Like a handful of cake on your seventh birthday
Frail images of myself
Taken in the spotlight
Hiding away from the shadows
Hardly ever having the chance to breathe
Living in a dead world
Comfort in the cold
Like winter’s wind without a sweater
A grounded bird without his feather
Show me the way
To breathe
After so much, my Mood is Apathetic
shout out my failure, I will brush your disappointment away
I wont fulfill your trivial desires
I no longer need to please you
the wind is calling me, howling out my name
provoking an outward image of curiosity
clawing away at the colors, so black
stabing into my emotions
the fires are crackling with such sick morbid delight
I begin to unwitingly burn my heart
a ghostly library dissolves, pages fade to ash
the ice is freezing over
clamorous vibrations shatter the glass in my eyes
revealing that you are the one killing me slowly
you will all see what happens when you trespass on a misjudged mind
I bemuse myself to shut you out
youve outrun my patience, I cant take anymore of your poison
so now that your leavin, this will truly be
the sweetest of partings
Phoenix Wings
Rising from the sodden ashes of a youth encumbered by self focus and satire
Wings stretched in the sun beginning to sink into the west of time
Is it too late for them to dry and fledge for flights of wondrous fantasy
Will they have their moment of power and uplift to soar upon the currents of hope
Will they journey past the forgotten realms of past events to land amidst a new beginning
Fulfilled at last in works of passion and expended in gifts of gratitude
Dusk encompasses the fading beauty left in ebb
Clouds mass in a sky darkening at day’s end
The sun slides into night and winks goodbye to sleepy thoughts
The stars echo those last rays in brilliance through the crimson shawl of sunset
Still there is time
Still there is desire to beat
Still there is need to rise and scream defiance of the end of all
Still there is willingness to share and receive that song of unity
One feather loosens and drifts slowly to the ground
Shining in the deepening gloom
Left behind as the Phoenix rises from her ashes
To be found by the one never known but sought, cherished in the space left behind
Slipping Away
By: Hirenlor
Sink down
into these shadows dancing in the rain
for the last time
Look up at the stars once more
as the earth grasps your leg
and swallows you whole
black bouquets
A tribute to your tears
You tried to save yourself
Sink your knife into my heart
And sing me a prayer meanwhile
Shut my eyes so I may not see
All of them carrying their black bouquets
Please don’t let them see me
Shriveled and cold
Stupidity my enterprise
with the moments fading
and the hills aflame
Dreams may come to die beside my grave
But do not linger long
As it was always my advice
Leave me
Pray for me
And carry your black bouquet.
Believing in Intervention
By: Hirenlor
Led astray on the road
that we walked upon
you went left
I went right
you never understood the fight
Lost, stalking the shadows
reading the signs with my name
and though the path be clear behind
it is your heart
The broken heart that leads you foward into darkness
Forsaken,
By my lenses
so dark in every direction
You gasp, only to realize there is no mouth to touch
Fade away
into pale visions of grey
behind a curtain of tears
fighting against your very exsistence
Bring forth the executioner
Let axe sweep the sky
cutting the rain
falling tears like soldiers from the sky
Slip away
Lead astray
you’ve been on this path before
why take another step?
You know the hurt
you know the pain
yet you run.
Medicine for The Lonely
By: Hirenlor
Its a funny thing
When you wake up
When you don’t want to
Pace your breathing
Just a few more minutes
And your memories is what keeps your breathing
Look over at the sea
And drink in the smell
The waves, the wind
A slow heartbeat of its own
Swirling about you
There you are
Staring into the sunset
The twilight about to approach
Your dreams they do encroach
And think
One more day to wake up
One more regret to make
One more breath to take
Let it come
Drink in the sea
Drink in the future
Drink in the sunset
Your drinks are on me
Let lose your inhibitions
And live on impulse
But keep your eyes steady ahead
Steer the boat away from the shore
And drink in the smell of the sea
Keep a little confidence for me
Where ever you are sailing
It is away
The sun rises for you
So you may see the endless horizon
Pick a spot upon its endless plane
And soar
Life Begins Once the Dying is done
Our burdens are similar, you and I
So stop complaining,fearing the world for every shadow it casts
life wont end, wont wait for you to grow up
surrender your greifs, they cannot help you
Mean or honest, I meant not to hurt them
Surely you can comprehend, that feeling is one you know
The world cannot handle the letters in our words
they snap and bite, split worlds in two
shaking appart the boundries of mind
We are as thunder within the tremulous rainstorm
when words below out, the others do run
so now I wish to be alone
Ive grown tired of the trivial tears
forsaking forced conversation, to fade away upon the wind
do not mourn, you are leaving that world
to joing the excluded, you are among friends
those who have suffered the same cold glances
if fate is nothing more than fiction
then someday we shall change
be accepted by society
the surrated edge will bull, then we shall return
The Sun Knight
Sun rising over the horizon
gleaming ever so beautiful
empowering everything
with warmth
galloping so gallantly
astride the horse
riding towards the sun with the speed of the wind
Castle’s Gleaming in the Horizon
riding towards them
ever so fast
ever so graceful
sword and shield
sparkling with light of hope
choosing his castle he rides
shedding tears
tears of soon found love
he rides
to his death
to his princess
Plague my Breathing
By: Hirenlor
Dancing slowly
My hands and feet pressed against the wall
Watching the others dance
And die
Inhale slowly
The poison will remain much longer
Don’t breathe out yet
Savor the exceptional
Shake off this feeling
of bitter compassion
Mourning and losing
Were always your fashion
Break my head upon the steeple
And give God my thoughts
That i Never got to say
And so it’s come to this
My writing on the pavement
the legacy of my life so far
My body, my ashes
My organs to the trashes
But save me my heart
The heart that never learned
But always yearned for something better
Shut me out
And stop my screaming
The echoes of my suffering
Surrounding my coffin
The plague of my thoughts
I never said that often
Righteous Tranquility
By: Hirenlor
For the dreams I have
I apologize
Understand that I will fail
But I will do what is right
always
Memories will come around so often
The good and the bad
“Fear not”, he said
Peer into the endless horizon with me
The lines of the sea becoming her face
My tears
and all those years
That fly by
like clouds overhead
Shrouding the stars with a million cries
Tries
Tries and he tries to forget
And close his eyes
Bring me the break of dawn
And let it fill my soul
And may it play the same song for her and I
And so I write to you my dreams
To make notes of my words
then strike up the band
May your chorus be taken upon the wind
And I will wait until your song is over
ever searching for a four leaf clover
I like Righteous Tranquility very much. Top Ten of your poems. Evocative and yet submerged in your own special elocution making the words dance on the mind, drift in the spirit and lodge in the memory of the reader.
Couldn’t think of a good end for that one lol, but thank you
The Ill-Fated Writer
By: Hirenlor
This is a true story
Of a writer
Who wrote a paper for the unappreciative
Who wrote of his dreams and hopes
Well here he goes
Waking late and sleeping the later
Writing a tale of how three children watched a display of terror
Like bombs in the sky
The blood of their mother caressing their cheeks
As the knife did what it was told
In the hands of their father
Like soldiers
Fighting for honor and for their families
Killing the fathers who did so much wrong
Killing the hopes of their sons
And breaking the hopes of those unable to defend themselves
Writing poems to rap songs
Who speak of the atrocities from day to day
Like a plague of locusts dislodged from their teeth
A story of a boy becoming a man
Drinking away to tell tales to the stars
The twinkling of those he admire all about him
Becoming hazy
Left to drown in himself
And none of those stars come again another night
For him, their shadows shall cover his grave
Tears unseen, like a drop in a river
A story of promise in school
Taken up by a foul wind
And in one night the day never comes
The rays of light forming the bars of his cell
For his betrayal of himself
And his, and her, loss of innocence
The writer writes of heroic deeds
That he may one day rise above it all
And replace the stars in the sky
The unimaginative call him foolish
But he calls himself lonely
A story of how a man of honor
Who lived his life the way he wished
Writing the tales of the forgiven
As the pen strayed from the paper
Taking pictures of the scene
These shadows cover his frozen body
Alone in the cold with pen in hand
Writing the last letter to the drops in the river
Coma
By: Hirenlor
How many times did you wish
You could understand what he was thinking
That look she gave; the meaning
And how many times
Did you sleep in coma
Restless eyes under a curtain
Waving in the wind
Their whispers blowing harder and louder
Run in front of the train
And pray it not take you too far
And they shall come to your bedside
To spill the words unsaid
To quench your insatiable need for admiration
When the time comes you should wake
No longer does the breeze blow by
And should you rise to thank them
Your whispers shall only pass them by
Like the train
rushing past the station late at night
The darkness above your only veil
Sleeping now, they leave the room
Their steps the thunderous sounds of the train
Thinking back to bring some light
To the dark corners of your room
Behind the curtains
You attempt to open
Stumbling down
Those words unspoken
Now said to you and quenching your thirst
Knowing the wish you made
Is what made life cursed
Unspoken feelings
The sun gleaming over the desert
the red burning orb shinning like it shall
i stare
ever so addicting
i cant look away but i should
its captivating glow keeping me in its trance
memories pouring in
memories pouring out
memories hidden deep within finally unlocking
eyes burning
like the napalm poured over the innocent
my eyes flaring up
with the similar glow of the orb in the sky
feelings racing by my eyes
the glow lighting up the darkness
seeing the truth but for what price?
the price being nothing
just the cleansing of the memories you loath
One of your best yet dude
<3
*takes a sniff*
ahhh the refreshing smell of poems. :]]]
A Dagger Through Love
Waking up this morning
feigning an apology from you
feigning that apology that never came
staring at your cherry lips
feigning that sentence from you
that apology
that apology that clings to me like a parasite
those words have never left your lips
those days spent with you gone to waste
feigning an apology
feigning an apology those words will never leave your lips
those wasted days slide by like the lights of passing ships
those cherry lips will never speak those words
those wasted days gone by down the drain
Stars Colliding Above The Green Grass
Laying by the meadows
laying with the stars
laying over the green grass
tickling my back with its cold soft touch
staring at the colliding stars
i fall into there spell
in a frantic daze i try to pick myself up
in a frantic daze i fail
i fall over the cold grass
ever so green
ever so soft
ever so lovely to the touch
my body laying there
far from anything
far from anywhere
deers galloping across my motionless body
birds chirping across me to one another
to warn
to call
warmth begins to circulate my body
senses waking up
my lips moist to the touch
the scent of lavender emitting from them
a kiss
having lifted me from that haze
that daze
now i search the meadows
for that scent of lavender
Congrats!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!! 300 responses!!!! Horacio, my man, mi amigo, mi esposa, my bro, my lion in the pride, my nilla wafer, you win…..

These Shadows Surround Me
By: Hirenlor
As I’m walking
I hear it
I smell it
My feet pounding on the pavement
Slowly
Take a breath
Somehow here
500 miles away
It smells like the sea
And now there is sand
Beneath me
I look up and see the sky
Hear the waves
And smell the sea
And then the pavement
Becomes me
And in a blink
I’m back again
Beneath the stars
Who are sunken
In a pool of shadows
From the past
How much longer
Will this last
Looking up past the trees
I hear the bats
and feel the breeze
And then I collide
With another person
Who sees me stranger
For looking where he could not follow
And for having a soul almost hollow
I look around
and feel the breeze
and take a breath
Breathe
Breathe
But still
The pavement beneath me
WHEN
You are here.
And yet
I grieve your loss.
What will it be like?
When you are not there to ask…
To tell…
To share with..,
I imagine the sorrow and it engulfs me.
I drown in my own self-pity
Not willing to see the silver lining
You always were so quick to point out.
My mind cannot be wrested from the grip of this sorrow.
Even when I am with you
The nearness of it looms.
Trying to shake free and cherish each moment
I somehow choose to ignore the sweetness for the gall.
I envy the child who stays content in the trust of his ignorance;
The bird who can break the bonds of gravity and soar beyond the threat;
The shadow who can cling to the solid and give it definition and place.
And I wonder…
When?
That one kid
Whatever happened to that one kid, the one nobody knew?
not even a rumor has reached my ear, no word at all
so i turn to my neighbors and ask
“Whatever happened to that one kid, the one you said was bitter?”
and so i get an answer. “I know she killed herself” it said
its apathy was bliss
“Whatever happened to that one kid, the one you called a freak?”
and so i get an answer “i heard she came one day with a gun” it said
its judgment was so strong
“Whatever happened to that one kid, the one you knew you hated?”
and so i get an answer “i think i pushed her in front of a bus” it said
its laughter was so morbid
and then an interruption…
a new voice spoke…
i turn to the dead doll behind me
and it says “stop talking to yourself”
This Grave is not for he but you
I can see you
trying to masquerade with the cortege
Following the empty casket
head down, turned away
i am the one you cannot avoid, the heart you cannot rip out
closer you come, i invite you into my home
isnt it quaint, abandoned angels and tall trees
completed construction has made extra room
they lower the box
play a sad dirge
and you throw a rose upon the earth
thinking youve escaped
a foolish thought
that grave is not for he but you
one day you shall see what it is that i mean
but until that day
enjoy this kiss from death
Unloved seeds
I was your seed
living beside you
i was your pride and joy
living in you before my time
you planted me with love
to bloom into your sunflower
to bloom with the glow of the sun
i bloomed and was what you expected
but like a watered plant i began to drown
without you to care for me i began to whiter
my roots began to drown
until my bearer picked me up
never looking back she took me
never thinking
we strode forward and only forward
as my roots began to thicken
and branches began protruding from me
i grew strong
strong without your presence
stronger without your love
but something was missing
something that made my branches wither
you the bearer of my seed
the one who was once holding my seed
just having planted me for no reason
just to whiter away without you
never knowing why
you choose to plant me
God Part the trees for the Sun
By: Hirenlor
Dear God,
Part the leaves of these trees
your son is hiding in the shadows
God,
Part the leaves of these trees
So your light may shine through
Your son
Is always looking up
To you,
Father
But cannot see past the leaves
God,
Show him your world
Part the trees and reveal the meadows
And let him be content by the stream
And God,
Part his soul of his sorrows
And let his roots be free of the ground
For he is not of the lessers
And God,
Give him wings
So this place he can get far away from
And closer to you,
Father
Dear soul,
Cry from the clouds no more, soaring one
Your time has come
To soar above the others
And God is with you
And so am I,
The fish in the stream who saw you fly
wow thanks dude.
just great.
<3
Striking a jet out of the sky
By: Hirenlor
You dream to fly
the skies all around you
The wind your road
Sail upon these untouched shores
But no
It was not meant to last
Shot down, you begin to burn
Like the dollars of your poor investments
Entrusting a friend
Only to find they were the murderer
You throw a friendly smile
But time and time again they will shoot you down
And you thought this once, without need of repair
That you could go on
Without a care
But burning are the thoughts in your mind
You wish you could leave it all behind
But your nature is to the skies
Which lie ever before you
Sink your eyes into the sun
And let it burn them completely
So we will not see these sad and lonely days
“don’t die alone”
Left alone
You die
Functions
Talking is for functional people
im dysfunctional
lets talk matters with our lips
lets resolve our love without words
let us cascade over the raging current
to the other side of the river
forcing my lips to move
i failed for i could just not talk
your eyes
your smile
captivating me
making me escape this reality
your heart and mine dancing with such bliss
my heart and being flowing with such love
i reflect to myself while she sleeps
ive been handed down a princess
a vow to myself i make
as she quietly slumbers
to love and always protect her
until my body breaths its last breath of life
These Lies are Forming Puddles
By: Hirenlor
Take a look into the sky
downward facing eyes
To look upon these mirrors of heaven
Even in the darkest of nights
Dive into the air
Memories begotten
In this place you lose yourself
Inhale
This salty air like a cigarette
Impale yourself these names
And in these mirrors and giant bodies
Your body drowns
and your soul flies
To feel not the breeze or the touch of placid ocean
We shall abandon these waters
To traverse these meadows yet untouched
We were reaching downward through the weeds
Flickering, waving
Like flames, the reeds
And as your body begins to slow
These oceans and streams seem to flow much more
Ever onward, toward the sky
These clouds around us shading the stars
Aiming for heaven, saturn, and mars
I missed the dance, the step, the fall
When leaves were shading and protecting them all
These shallow faces beneath the water
Your true love
From whom you always falter
Playing Our Song
By: Hirenlor
I’m just here in the summer sun
You know those days we’re missing.
Dreaming of those lips so smooth
But i’d do it all over again
In a trance, staring at the stars
I can’t help but spell your name
And we’re dancing together without a care
Singing our song out loud for all to hear
I find myself picturing those days
Purple sunsets and two person parades
Drinking to love and a life together
Lost in our stars and a dance that lasts forever
Seeing your neck now in the shady sun
Your beads sliding so slow
Your smile,our love; the only thing
that will continue to grow
And i’m feeling the sun come over again
Dancing this same song for ages with you
Giving my heart once all over for you
Believing our love was nothing but truth
And in the end
We’ll do it all over again
Our souls will never tire
and we can only fly higher
My love, my heart
For you
Following your own Advice
Give me the gift
To seem to ask for so much yet so little
To get over it
To live on
Living for others
Living in their joy that you could have the pleasure of bringing
Take me back to those times, O Lord
So that i may cry no more
Dark as a starless night
Dreams wander far distances
Away from arms reach
We were doomed to die alone
Bring me this comfort, O preacher
When the last of my advice was given
And all those listening were dancing away in the sunlight
Leaving me empty
Rose petal in hand
Listening to my own voice
echoing in my head
We shall live to see these days renewed
When friends have forsaken
And the bad thoughts awaken
It is your troubles left alone for you
sealed in this envelope
Tis true
God help me out here..
In Grey
Beating on yourself
Sweat dripping from your face
Clenched fists and moving feet
Stepping into the punch
Your life is like a movie
Crowds gathering and leaving
Your purpose was to entertain and be forgotten
After they were done with you
Eventually they were through
With old world animations
That caused too many complications
Living a life in grey
Breathe in and out
You shall hold up these barbells
sweat dripping from your eyes now
Or perhaps tears
Run or be eaten
We were chasing our dreams and running away from our feelings
Exhausted, you collapse
But no one hears your pain, for none are around to hear it
Stop these watches
They must be broken
For not the heart in my body be outspoken
If only they had given this movie a chance
Don’t reel it in yet
One more cast
What Yo(I)u Wanted
Embedded in the discourse of your life
Is a little bit of good
The spark that never went out completely
Some say reliable
But we were talking to ourselves
And I was talking to you
Like a letter to the president
Was my one line list
I’d appreciate it
In the mail I see
Provocation to its entirety
A list of all the things for me
Dotting your i’s and crossing your t’s
One day you said
I will return the favor
One day you said
You can have this food to savor
Whisps of clouds that i cannot breathe in
Surrounded by your t’s and i’s
But I have one I for you
I sent you a letter
With an army in its words
A list of one that i wanted
Crossing out the note, you easily dispense
And now I must repair this broken fence
From my armada of me, not caring about the rest
Makes me rethink the word in the letter, best
One Shoe Misplaced
By: Hirenlor
Hopeless romantic
Frantically scattering the divides of his room
Searching his clouded mind
For evidence of what was always lost
Worrying about nothing
And about everything
The last turn the car makes
High above the towers of God
And what he needs not is what he receives
Pity for captions misunderstood
Watch as the drizzle launches a barrage of sorrow
Floating ever so close to his conscious
Think hard
And fill in these steps, taking them slowly backward
Into the darkness
And familiar faces
Shoelace untied
Clinging solemnly to one lonely foot
He steps outside
Forgetting his mothers call
For they are sirens in the wind
He will see his ambitions in the sunrise
Like notes to your favorite song
And he will see the world in the sunset
Like no one had ever imagined
Quiet for Two
By:Hirenlor
Our gazes were drawn to seperate hemispheres
Sitting together in a thought devoid of time
Clouds escaping the holes in our minds
Thoughts to be carried by the wind
We stepped into the restaurant
Quiet for two, he said
Drinking the water slowly
Eyes persistent, in every askew direction
Leveling the landscape with our dreams
Our wrecking balls were silent killers
Dreaming of the intention to speak
Let us confront this temple of confession
As if an act so predetermined
We flew from our seats onto the asphalt
Red with a passion
Our commitments with each other
Like the bleeding of our bodies
Our thoughts fled
We were reading the bubbles in the clouds
Looking for mention of the obstructed road that was before us
The Right Words To Say
By: Hirenlor
Don’t let go just yet
She looks at you in the eyes
“walk me home?”
“of course”
We could never be apart
Thinking about it while washing your face
These are the days that we fell in love with
Almost as if they were her
And almost as if they would last forever
Replay
Those memories in your head
And cast the shade of her smile upon new faces
And seeing her eyes in life’s disgraces
You feel
And is it wrong?
Her footsteps next to you
And her hand in yours
A ghostly premonition
Drawing into sorrow
Like the cosmos into a black hole
Enveloped in secrets of the heart
Pale purples and reds
But only she could lift up these colors to the sky
And brighten them in the early morning
Who knew life would be this hard?
Growing apart from yourself
Wandering away on lost ships
Searching for treasure
“when?”
You ask yourself
You ask your friends
You ask the stars
You beseech the Lord
Too far foward have we been stretched
Across these lands of unfathomable miles
While everything reminds you of her
We shall blanket the sky in shrouds of tears
And reign upon them
Our love will rule
Just me and you
When everything reminds me of you
And yet i haven’t met you,
I love you
Stars Shinning Above Us
As you arrive
i feel my heart jumping with joy
with desperation
with uneasiness
As u hug me
my legs begin to melt
not wanting to let go
even if the wind roared upon us
the missing gap in my heart
being filled
As your lips meet mine
i say to myself
“I can kiss these lips forever”
As u leave for the day
i realize that this fairy tale may never happen
Even if i beg
Even if i wait
What a heartbreak
what luck i have
all i can do is pray
and ask for this curse to be lifted
so that i can find that person that will love me
in the meantime
ill wait patiently for u
my queen
agh, the tittle! i forgot to press enter. well know u guys know.
Green Slumber
There are so many words i cannot say when i look into your eyes.
I want to be able to tell you one day.
But i’m left speechless every time i try.
Every time i think of something sad, i replace the thought with you.
Your eyes are as lovely as the green meadows in my dreams.
Those eyes of your’s see right through my heart.
As we cuddle all i can do is stare at those enticing emerald eyes.
As i awake from my slumber
Your beautiful flawless face comes to mind
Filling my heart with such joy
Filling my day with such joy
You my queen, my princess have filled the gap in my heart
Each time i lay eyes on you my heart skips a beat
Perfection is unattainable, or so they say
But in your arms and with your heart’s affection
I have found a brief moment of perfection.
The Unborn
By: Hirenlor
I can’t seem to see
What lies ahead
To me it is alive and well
To them it is less than dead
Unborn
Into a world of suffering
Let loose the morose
And take comfort in the numbing cold
There is a voyage we must take
Around in circles
Orbit to the dying wake
Writing on a piece of paper
Scorched from years of preparation
Slow strokes of the pen
Forming lines, like bars, over the cell
The deepest shade of black
Like gazing out into a moonless night
Writing these words in the color of the void
Tricked and trapped into the distant backdrop
Waiting for the rain to fall
Slowly it must come
Like the decay of all things aged
The smears of the ink all about
Seeping through the fibers of the paper
forming tear shaped water drops
Pounds on the ground
Each drop becoming all the more louder
Until you can hear no more
See no more
See no more
We were lost to the travel
Had we begun the journey at all?
Somewhere along the road, we strayed
You know our vision was Just
Ordinary
Just a love dream pinch me?
You have come to me from a distant land
To make me whole once and for all
Your arms so soft to the touch
Your smile brighter than the most radiant star
You put my soul from worst to best
A gentle brush from your fingers
Sends shivers down my spine
You greet me with a smile
And leave me with a kiss
You came into my life so quick
What a beautiful surprise
What a blessing from above
Every time i look up at the stars
They gracefully form your beautiful face
With that beautiful smile
That fills my heart with such excitement
Each time i see something beautiful
I want to bring it to you
My life had no meaning before you
I was lost
But you found me
And i thank you
Now let us continue
living in our never, never land
Greatness
By: Hirenlor
Lucrid glow of the dying breed
Ghostly shadows of horseman and steed
Echoing through the mountains, a voice unheard
Death is encroaching, rest assured
Doomed until dawn when we should wake
The treasure ahead, but none we could take
Along the road of star-laden path
Our eyes were fixed to what came ahead
Below, like a chorus, sang the terrors of the night
Amplified were the children, who sang of plight
Their tears empty, a dry river bank
The cannons erupted, and our boat did sank
Washed upon the shores of remorse
A thousand tears amongst uncountable sand
So far above in the clouds we were, away from this land
But in the end it was your hand
Connected to those who fell before, back to this land
Portraits
By: Hirenlor
Echoes heard throughout the sky
Ringing in your ear
Like a stampede of children at a playground
Yet here there is little time to play
These portraits of ourselves have diminished
Paint running down from your eyes
The frames we built now bordered on nothing
Smiles once drawn
Now etched in fears
In days past I held not the brush
But the resolve to stand still
The world flew by as you took my portrait
Whisper to me now
As we hide in the shadows,
Awaiting our fears
“Do you remember a time when life was better?”
I remember what I stood for
Complacent, and not knowing where now to run
These shadows from the dark creeping ever closer
Running
Through a forest of webs
Entangled in the limbs of thought
Every brush of branch against your skin, slowly corroding
Like the waves on the sand
And at times we could see the smears start to burn
The paper that was once canvas
Dripping in colors of yourself
Black now running down from your eyes
Should we get caught in the rain we would never make it
Outward through the frame that enveloped our lives
Leaving bits and pieces of ourselves behind.
Breathless
I remember it like it was yesterday, the day i first saw your face.
I remember your smile so vividly, your beauty and your grace.
I remember when your hand clasped mine for the first time oh how much my heart sang.
As days pass the more i long for you.
Your smile pure as honey.
Your lips sweet as honey.
I remember when i first met you, you asked me a question but i had no words to answer
And time stood still.
I remember when i first kissed you, your lips softer than the clouds that soar above us.
You make my heart tingle.
It feels more alive than it ever did.
Your voice sweeter than the honey i put on my tea.
Your kisses leaving me breathless every time.
I just ask for one thing
For you to leave me breathless every time.
Lonely
Forsaken hearts, alone
Adrift at sea
Calming are the verses of the waves
Pale silver mists,
Soft as a chain around a woman’s neck
Feel my anger
Frustration a whirlwind about me
Fortune does forsake at times
Breathing in its brethren
Docile creature
You shall traverse the wilds of these endless plains
Stumbling time and time again
In the place you thought refuge…
Order
My soul to keep on moving
Filled with promises of color
Scarlet red, your ambition
Grey, your promise, your future, your life.
