Serenade Her Sky"Serenade Her Sky"

Use me if you need to vent
Use me to your heart's content
I'm here for you; I'm prepared
I'll always listen; don't be scared

Use me as your punching bag
Tell me when you're feeling mad
I do not bruise; I have the might
If it means you'll be all right

Use me when you're black and blue
I'll restore your heart anew
Let me know when you are grey
Things won't always stay the same

Thanks for giving me the chance
To walk together hand-in-hand
I promise to help you through
What it is that's killing you

Tell me if I'm acting wrong
Tell me if I don't belong
I can handle what you say
I've matured in many ways

You're the stars an

Demons Within"Demons Within"

Have you ever felt like the walls are closing in
And that narrow passageway continues to grow thin?
I can feel these walls pushing, choking my veins
And squeezing out the life in me, leaving me deranged

I can make these walls crumble like an empire
That has been set ablaze through flare and fire
And every burn I make, I can see a demon
Fly out of my skin the more the burn is deepened

These four walls, four corners, and a floor
Captivate all I see and still furthermore
Within these walls I am my own enemy to my skin
When everything hurts; my horrors lay within

I can take myself and from the beginning
I could brea

Crossed The Line"Crossed The Line"

She told him "no" many instances before
At first he listened, but not this time
Her words were sounds that he ignored
Because finally, he crossed the line

At first it seemed like every date
He was sweet and kind, holding doors
But even still at any rate
She found herself screaming on the bedroom floor

Because he heard, but didn't listen
Only hearing what he wanted to hear
And by pure hormones he was driven
While her pleas fell on deaf's ears

At first it started out innocent
Holding hands, kissing, locking lips
But soon it was no longer ambivalent
Once his hands swayed around her hips

He tried crawling them

Blossom"Blossom"

Beyond the cherry oaks and evergreen backwoods
Past the landscapes of emerald trees and creeks of water
On top of a hill surrounded by mud and soil
Lies an innocent flower as delicate and quiet as the wind

I planted this flower from the seedlings in my garden
Carefully cultivating this flower to reflect the beauty of nature
But I soon knew my flower outgrew its surroundings
This particular flower needed ample room to grow

At first the roots resisted, I had to tug to set them free
Scared of the storms and fires that could potentially be
The unknown wilderness is a scary place I must admit
Regardless my garden was not a comfortable

To Be Alive"To Be Alive"

To be forgotten; to be left alone
To have seen so many people come and go
To be unable to recognize his own home
To want to wander when there is nowhere to roam

To cherish every memory that he can
To have lost the race before it began
To have such a longing for the past
To wish that certain moments would always last

To never know what it feels like to be alive
To always leaving as soon as he arrives
To watch the streets change before his eyes
To never have gotten used to saying goodbye

To appreciate every puff of a cigar
To take in the beauty of waves crashing and strums of a guitar
To be quiet; to be humbled

Lost, Little Boy“Lost, Little Boy”

There exists a dazzling forest with glistening
Water flowing down the hill with listening
Ears as if to appear sound and protected
But I know the truth of which none have detected

These waterfalls are a collection of tears
That fall from the eyes over the years
And never dry out but always throughout
Sprinkle the flowers that strengthen and sprout

But this thick air has become too vague to see
Or to breathe or drive through these wounded trees
In which the bark in the dark without a doubt
Grows in arcs and sparks curiosity without
Any idea where to fathom or begin
To search for the missing child buried with

Fairy Tales"Fairy Tales"

At the end of the final chapter
Most stories end happily after
Enchanted evenings; dreams coming true
Believing in magic; it could happen to you

Fairy tales fuel our dormant fires
Romantic films quench our inner desires
Demons become friends; fun times never end
Must be nice to live in a realm of pretend

That's not how things work in the real world
The hero doesn't always win his girl
People pass away; buildings crumble and fall
Cinderella's mice in reality would be mauled

Teacups don't sing; at least none that I know
Carpets can't glide through the wind's blow
Crabs do not dance; that is really absurd
Animals can't talk; at

Clowns"Clowns"

There was one time when I was a kid
I hid in the circus at the age of six
Because all I remember is him following me around
A creepy clown with an upside-down frown

To say the least; this clown was not funny
It's more amusing watching bees make honey
With his stupid flower; he squirted my eyes
He made a little boy sad; oh God why?

With his big shoes; he invaded my bubble
I swear this clown was nothing but trouble
He failed at making those animal balloons
He wrapped himself up; what a buffoon!

Watching him juggle was really a bore
He dropped all the balls right on the floor
Then on his unicycle he kept spinning around
And circling

Start The Fire"Start The Fire"

Close your eyes
And know I'm with you tonight
Can you feel the fire burn and crackle?
Can you feel my hands grip and grapple?

Keep them closed
As the fire warms our toes
As the fireflies engross
Our two bodies as they glow

Do not open them yet
Do not stop or push reset
Can you feel our bodies start to sweat?
Do you remember when our lips first met?

Look up towards the night
Towards the stars in the sky
The ones that match the bright
Stars in your eyes

Take my hand now
And to you I solemnly vow
To make your night as bright
As those fireflies and their lights

Keep holding my hand
Because I know where you've been
As the a

Star Shine"Star Shine"

The moon is rising once again
And here you are, my dear best friend
Take my hand and feel my grace
Let's make haste and leave no trace

In this gentle night of calm
Place your hand onto my arms
Through the trees there is this space
Heaven watches; we embrace

Feel the passion; just imagine
All the good things that can happen
Like a dream, I'll paint the scene
As we follow star shine's beam

Let's keep walking; always talking
Ignore the shadows haunt and stalking
I'm not complaining that it's raining
The scene is stunning like a painting

Don't look back onto your past
Leave it like a ripped up rag
Eyes are focused on this time
T

That Girl In The MirrorHappiness will remain forever out of reach
When love from your life you omit
To the girl in the mirror; you are beautiful
Yet somehow you never quite fit

Not the girl they thought you’d turn out to be
When you were a neonate child
Born with a raging heart and a raging mind
But with a manner ever so mild

Your scars aren’t always visible to them
And not only hidden under attire
Lacerations to the mind are just as abhorrent
When memories and dreams conspire

So girl break the mirror if you have to
And reflect on your life as a whole
Do you really want to spend the rest of your days
Behind a façade of self control?

Please be strong

Absence.Absence.

I hate the thought of coming home to an empty room.

It is a scenario my mind is not able to consume.

Even though I know you will be back soon.

I still have to wait for your return,

In order for my life to resume.

Alcoholics Anonymous"Alcoholics Anonymous"

I know I can do this
I need to put the bottle down
I will clench both my fists
And keep my feet on the ground
I know I can win
I need to conquer this trait
I will try to fight myself
And not drink another day

But its just one more bottle
A shot would be even smaller
Yet every time I drink
The trees look so much taller
My imagination runs haywire
These drinks don't fix anything
Instead my mind conspires
And brings out the worst in me

True feelings I can't face
Watching the world spin
A small price for its foul taste
Destroying my insides within
I have a terrible disease
So expensive and so vain
But

Freeze Frame"Freeze Frame"

Once when I was walking I saw the most beautiful sight
A moonlit city all covered in white
The glow of orange streetlights which reflected above
Made me halt and ponder the ones that I love
Even above the city lights the stars did shine
A picture perfect moment suspended in time
I took more steps and left footprints in snow
Delicate powder controlled by wind's blow
But when I stopped I saw the funniest thing
A shadow beside me was starting to sing
The voice was raspy yet sounded so sweet
The most pleasant pitch carrying such a beat
And to my ears this sound was such a treat
That I could not resist the urge to gre

Avoid Drama"Avoid Drama"

How dare you spread such rumors
How dare you say such lies
How can I be pregnant?
I'm not a girl; I'm a guy!

Why would you think that?
Why would you fib
About people you don't know
Or things you never did?

He broke up with her
She cheated on him
Please don't get me involved
I don't know where to begin

So what if you never
Got asked out to the prom?
It only lasts one night
Then life will carry on

Every week there's someone
Fighting with a friend
Who hates who this week?
Please let this drama end

Because I'll never understand
Why people have to judge
Adding insult to injury
To hearts that never budge

Moonlit Waltz"Moonlit Waltz"

I bit her skin and watched her warm

Life drip down her sleeve and down her arm

Her eyes were closed I could of sworn

Movements gentle as a newly born

My teeth as sharp and white as pearls

Have left their mark in fragile girls

But none other than this beauty I hold

In my arms a prize as good as gold

I'd take her slow though if I could

But we must leave these lonely woods

I raised her towards the blackened sky

Where we flew into the white

Moonlit scene except for my

Glowing blue and reddish eyes

I stood her up onto the glass

In my castle made of shiny brass

In my soul the darkness felt

Confusion"Confusion"

She left him in the pouring rain

For reasons of which she could not explain

She left him to himself again

For reasons of which he could not commend

Left him holding the card of love

Left him staring at the stars above

Left him like an eroded stone

Or a rotten fruit thrown out alone

Standing there he swallowed and could not believe

He invested so much time in someone who teased

All the years spent making her smile

Was on the face of one who was benignly vile

Blindsided by this random act of folly

The ball was in her court but she missed her volley

But even she questioned the way that she felt

Was this truly it or a

Madman"Madman"

He took his boat onto the river

Even though he never learned to swim

With enough wine to kill his liver

Perhaps he should just dive right in

With no one left to save thee

He knows how life will go on

He does not need useless sympathy

He would rather be where he belongs

He can no longer carry the charge

They are soon to find what he left

Disfigured parts under glass in shards

Manikins beheaded so meaningless

A train wreck derailed to his appeal

A child left hanging on a tree

A victim's virginity he steals

A bomb undetected in the Marriott Marquee

He can not excuse his unspeakable sins

Nor deliver a verdict to bear

Dear Amy"Dear Amy"

All the dreams that I wished for

Are all the things I want no more

Now I bestow them onto you

As I wither away in my dark fortitude

For you I pray these words will not betray

For you I say have the glorious of days

Fly away with your wings spread wide

Higher and higher allow freedom as your guide

Armed with nothing except for your mind

May destiny lead you towards a path of surprise

For you I would swim across these tides

Flailing my arms just to keep up behind

But if I should go under before I arrive

Breathing is irrelevant as long as you're alive

For you I would trace your every step

Derailing you off the path of

To A Friend"To A Friend"

To a friend who I once gave much accolade

Our last sundown means we must part our separate ways

Our friendship now from what I survey

Has been driven off course and continues to sway

With our heads held high we have made much progress

Indeed I thank you for allowing my success

But the time has come now I must confess

From my life now you must slowly regress

Tis better to walk away before you squall and grieve

Don't beg for forgiveness and get up from your knees

You are better than that or so you claim to achieve

The stories you extract are myths which you weave

For you are not the great hero who I thought you once w

Darkest Nights

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Traditional Fixed Forms

"Darkest Nights"

I'm looking out the window
Through the blinds and the shades
Waiting patiently for your return
But you won't be coming home today

Meanwhile these shadows
Continue haunting me
They've tried to snatch my soul
And bury it in the deep

Because the sun has gone down
This room has grown black
But it seems darker than normal
I want the light to come back

In fact this room is so dark
My body is starting to tremble
The shadows are reaching out
My nerves may disassemble

The absence of light
Enhances the echos of sound
I'm finding strength in silence
As I sink into the ground

So instead I close my eyes
Pretending I'm not here
Or rather I make believe
That you would just appear

So things can be as they were
But like I already said
I can not bring you back
I'm torn; ripped to shreds

But by good fortune I remember
What I learned from you
During times of darkness
It might help me to get through

The lessons that you taught me
Are true and not forgotten
I keep them in my heart
Where they will one day blossom

Even though you're not here
You'll always be around
Even more so than in memory
In a place where love compounds

Even though I'm broken
And I'm met with travesty
Through words unspoken
I feel then whole-heartedly

This constant struggle
I know won't last forever
Only you can heal the wounds
Only you can make it better

So as my eyes tighten and try
To avoid the shadow's face
Only you can bring the light
And make the shadows go away

Critique by ~Blaiseblue Jan 24, 2013, 8:43:17 PM

It's beautiful the depth i see. The want to find what can't seem clean. to go away to go and never stay to be in keep. to find a safe place for to sleep. i love this poem. it seeks light. can we all not find it. if so at what price? we seek the light .. never mind i love it

woo hooo! finding that we have hope is always a good thing! not wanting to be upset is part of moving on. to see the need to keep walking forward not looking back. good job

i'll be your light

This is a wonderful poem. The imagery is beautiful and the words were chosen well. However, in the third stanza, the flow is a little off. I would suggest either changing the last line or the second one because it has to do with the rhyming of black and back. Perhaps something along the lines of "The room has faded into black,
It seems much darker than normal,
I wish the light would just come back." Or maybe, since the light appears to be representing something that a person has, you can use the person bringing it back as a subject.
The technique used here was simple, and overall very pleasant.
The impact was very strong. It is easy to relate with the poem, therefore it has a stronger impact on the reader which is always a plus. Also, the choice of words and punctuation helped to give it more of a feeling of desperation for the light. This poem is very beautiful and I really don't see much room for improvement.

What do you think?

I just really wish I could write out in depth and great detail what an amazing poet you are, but I just can't find any words good enough to describe you!

This constant struggle
I know won't last forever
Only you can heal the wounds
Only you can make it better

I *love* the contrast in ideas here - it makes it cut so much deeper.

=BleedTheDream180 Jan 25, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

lol i didnt even notice the contrast until you pointed it out, now i see what you mean. thanks for that interpretation xD
