Chorus Of Confliction"Chorus Of Confliction"

He threw her in a metal chair
Handcuffed wrists; pulled back hair
Stripping her almost completely bare
She wasn't going anywhere
What perfect timing as of now
For their parents had been out of town
What a way for siblings to behave
He had prepared for her an unmarked grave
This time she was going to hear him out
Annoyed by her pleas and pouts
He placed the tape onto her mouth
Her pleas now just muffled shouts
He had told her she had better stop
He warned her like a constant clock
She liked to rain on his parade
Turning nights into darkened shades
He knew he had to do this to her
Still he couldn't b

Take My Hand"Take My Hand"

Please take my hand
And look me in the eyes
Make me understand
That I wasn't born to die
Don't say those last words
Please don't say its time
I can not concur
Its not time to say goodbye
I feel broken and alone
On many, many nights
But you make me feel at home
Like the stars in the sky
I've watched the world change
I've seen people come and go
Longing to stay the same
But this is never so
Just when things are stable
And at least one step I can take
That's when the cables
Yet again always break
So don't make me sad
Let's run away and hide
And no matter how bad
Together we can cry
Don't bring me down

Songbirds"Songbirds"

In the summer I grow rather fond

Of watching the swans hover over sea

And often wonder what it would be

Like if they could be like me.

Rather, I wonder if I could grow wings

And soar above the stores and malls

Gliding between buildings

And downtown city hall.

To be like a bird

To have such freedom

Does that sound absurd

To fly towards a kingdom?

I'd fly south for the winter

Avoiding the cold in the city

Because snow stings like splinters

Leaving marks not very pretty.

I'd leave colors in the sky

And into the burning sun

But not before I die

Or not to be outdone

I'd perform circles in the air

Spreading my wing

Pinhead"Pinhead"

I'll never forget the time
I went bowling at the age of nine
I believe it was for a friend's birthday party
If I recall that friend was Artie
If I may I'll convey the scene
So you can understand what I mean
The lanes were especially oiled that day
While the clouds outside were colored grey
Those ten pins were staring me down
I tried to knock them to the ground
I tried and tried and tried so hard
Throwing balls and forming scars
But those ten pins were mocking me
Laughing and standing there vividly
Sure, some fell after every frame
But every frame ended the same
I couldn't bowl a strike to save my name
And this hap

Shove Me"Shove Me"

A little bird often sings outside my window
Lonely as sin he made a nest above the snow
With his delicate singing I smile as wide as I can
Still it doesn't help me forget the terrible person I am
Songs so soft and pleasant to the ear
Songs that would wash away anyone's fears
Songs as beautiful as the evening rain
Songs that have hidden messages of peace contained
Yet vultures and crows feast on birds of his kind
Perhaps its fate our lives have intertwined
Because just when everything to this bird starts making sense
The eagles come and sweep away his self confidence
Yet a bird so strong still needs to learn to fly
F

Meaning In Tragedy"Meaning In Tragedy"

The bells are ringing by the old broken-down church
The crowd starts to assemble as the casket is in suspension
Nestled above the bells is a nest where hidden crows perch
The crows start to tremble for even they can feel the tension
The flicker of my cigar burns out as I throw it on the pavement
Walking into the church aside a crowd so depressed
My cigar rolls onto a stone slab of another soul's engravement
The crows have flown away for they have left their nest
And the body in the casket the priest has just blessed
And one by one the guests offer their best blessings
Into an eternal slumber this body will n

Coerce"Coerce"

I don't know who you expect me to be
But there's a constant pressure that hovers over me
I'm sorry if I don't meet your expectations
But realize that I too am frustrated beyond dictation

I realize nothing may be the same again
Or maybe that's only my fear with friends
Growing up I always tried to play pretend
But I know I've only been fooling myself in the end

I know my time is running out
And the path that I'm on won't be the easiest route
But these expectations that you have of me
Is more than anything that I could be

Or is that just me hiding from what's real?
There I go again; trying to conceal
An excuse to avoid o

Love Is Blind"Love Is Blind"

He was a world renown artist
He could play the violin
He could tell you any song
Before it would begin
He could speak many languages
So fluent off his tongue
He always kept his house clean
Before spring had even sprung
He traveled many countries
An intellectual he was
He would tinker with his watches
For reasons just because
He was a classy gentleman
So spiritual and divine
The only dilemma here
Was that he was blind
He had never seen the colors
Or the faces passing by
But you would never know this
Because he'd look you in the eye
And smile as wide as he could
A happy man he was
Still he hurt inside

Humiliation"Humiliation"

If I exist to teach a lesson
Then that lesson is to overcome
Any hardship or desire
Always fight; never run
Never give in to others
Or let them think that they won
We are all capable of strength
We will never be outdone
If I exist to show you how
Listen to what I have to say
Always do the best you can
And one day you'll find your way
Some exist to show us reasons
Why things are the way they are
And though their time may be short
They'll help us uncover scars
Everyone has a purpose
Even if you don't know it yet
Your existence affects others
There are those I won't forget
No matter how real the pain
Or how s

Flower Power"Flower Power"

Speak to me, my little flower
Dancing in the breeze
With your frail and fragile stem
You are braver than the trees
Bend for me, my faithful flower
Bend yourself at your knees
With your keen and natural instincts
You will survive the looming bees

Spread your petals as wide as you can
As your pollen starts to blow
To the oceans and their sands
And as far as they can go
Pollinate the others
With your warm and loving scent
Never fear the storm that's near
For I will circumvent

Live for me, my precious flower
I'll cover you from snow
With my rugged, worn-down hands
I will help you grow
Cry for me, my wounded flo

Orion's Gift"Orion's Gift"

Its so surreal to feel the stars at night
And know those you care about are looking at that same sky
Wondering if they are thinking about you
The same way you think about them too
Reliving memories as they occur in your mind
While moving forward through the passage of time
Its tough to muster the idea of never speaking to them again
And the bonds that were formed have ended up in vein
And yet we wonder if they are still alive
And if old relationships can ever be revived
The ghosts of people every night I mourn for
Like those families who lost their sons in brutal wars
They still exist out there somewhere in the pr

Count The Stars"Count The Stars"

I tried to count the ways

That I love you in the stars

This project took me days

And I'm still not very far

Some stars burned brightly

Before falling to the ground

Just then I thought of how

You make me feel when you're around

I never thought I could love

But you slowly showed me how

Back then I couldn't do

Things that I can now

I love your color eyes

Your grin; your skin

I love the way you glare

When you know I let you win

I love the way your hair

Gets tangled in the wind

Its great how we relate

Because I know where you've been

I love how you're so kind

I love the way you think

I love your sex appeal

Aliens Are Real"Aliens Are Real"

They live to conquer our fears
They persevere despite our tries
They feed off our bloody tears
They are watching us with many eyes
From the satellites way up high
From the lunar galatic moons
Hidden behind those fluffy clouds
I guarantee they're coming soon
They're real; they exist; they're out there
I know because I've seen them
With their multi-colored hairs
They are walking among creations
They take on many forms
They may be your best friend
Some sleep in college dorms
Watch yourself around the bend
One day I was walking
When I saw a cute, little boy
Who I noticed kept on talking
But this boy was jus

Hello Houston"Hello Houston"

Nothing else matters when I hear those words

Those three little syllables to which I concur

Bridges could burn; mountains could fall

The earth could turn, stop, and then stall

Earthquakes could rip right through the sand

The sky could turn black and cover the land

The snow could blanket all under ice

The roads could split apart and then splice

But when you say "I love you" this I do know

All my worries seem to get up and go

Nothing else matters when I am with you

A feeling shared that I still never outgrew

I could lose all my passion; no one may listen

If no one is out there I may lose all my vision

Who Are You?"Who Are You?"

Not everything in our lives
Will be handed to us on plates
I can tell you once we're alive
We have such undecided fates

There are those who like to strive
And always question themselves
Like the bees that buzz in hives
Honey doesn't make itself

Some of us are leaders
We grab bulls by their ropes
If you fall into this category
You will never lose your hope

But some hide and cower
Running from their fears
This prolongs the inevitable
When they break down after years

Others are just so lazy
They don't even want to try
They reside in rooms so hazy
They stare with bloodshot eyes

There are those who keep on tryin

Soul Reaper"Soul Reaper"

I'll be my only witness and swear to end this sickness

And no longer be a member of humanity's business

Because I've grown tired of pretending everything is fine

And trying to understand the motives against crimes

Behind your lives lay souls I want to reap

And lock away in prisms so you'll forever stay asleep

At the end of the world where this serpent has spoken

And rained down fire on an earth that is broken

I am becoming the devil concealing a grin

I am the melody in misery singing a hymn

Born from suffering and the collection of tears

I will be everything you have ever come to fear

I wander the lands and do what

Love Conquers All"Love Conquers All"

I've spent most of my life dying

While trying to find meaning in eyes

Crying out for help and reliance

After they have given up on mine

Paralyzed in fear there is no escape

When those who once prayed give up their faith

And lay waste to the tortures in the gaping

Hole between sanity and serenity's space

But when everything else falls

And there's no one left to call

In the vicinity where it all began

Love conquers all my dear best friend

Life feels meaningless without

Someone to share the good times and the bad

On a level higher than the clouds

And let feelings flow you never knew you had

For when we feel t

All the whips and chains

All the blood and gore

All these sexy games

Wasted on a whore

I gave you my heart

But that wasn't enough

You wanted blood and parts

Of me severing myself

I sacrificed to set you free

Forfeiting futures for memories

Now can you just let me be?

My little, made-up beauty

You were an angel no less

Than you were a saint

And to you I must confess

I never loved your restraints

Nor holding back my urges

Just so you could cry

For when I was on the verge

That's when you would try

To cut me down to size

With the fire that I felt

I never liked that ride

They'll slice down your throat until you choke on your blood

They'll envelop your lungs while you drown like a flood

They'll cut at your limbs and smash all your bones

They'll rip your frail skin from your head to your toes

They run all your days; They foster your lives

They make decisions on who lives or dies

They'll influence you to choose between sides

They are always watching wherever you hide

So you can kiss your protection and privacy goodbye

As you struggle to cope with who, what, and why

And you and I both know fate has no place

In the fight for supremacy, name, age, and race

They battle each other for the ri

Nebula"Nebula"

I always hear a voice calling to me in my sleep

So tonight I agreed to follow tranquility

I traded my sheets for streets and concrete

And walked along the edge of serenity

This unknown voice led me onto a road

By a ditch in the ground where a river can flow

And I have to admit; I've never seen here before

Such beauty in darkness beyond my front door

What was I doing wandering the night?

Was I even conscious, breathing, or alive?

What was this voice leading me in my dreams

What did it want?; for what could it mean?

This voice was ringing; augmented by echoes

In my head urging me to surrender and let go

Can you wake up?; I need you now

The lights are out and I'm so down

And worse than that; I can't breathe

Drowning in my self-pity

Sitting alone here in the dark

Wishing that we weren't so far apart

There is nothing left to believe

I need your smile here with me

Please wake up; if only for a second

I won't take too much time I reckon

I want to see your eyes and all its might

They act as the light to lead me tonight

I never thought I could love like I do

You bring out feelings I never knew

Existed in my mind but when you're not here

My fears are brought out and turn into tears

As I slide under covers and dr

Water Bomb

"Water Bomb"

Everyday my little boat
Becomes filled with more and more water
My shoes are starting to get soaked
Like lambs unaware in the slaughter
There seems to be some kind of hole
Just big enough for water to get through
The hole isn't big by any means
But I don't know what to do
And everyday my little boat
Sinks deeper and deeper in the sea
I can't rewrite the script I wrote
I can't undo what is to be
The hole now becoming cracks
I tried to plug with paint and clay
With barrels full of whole grain sacks
But even still the boat decayed
And I just can't stop this water
From seeping in little by little
Every damn crack and corner
Can you figure out this riddle?
So I'll take my breaths now
While the water is still shallow
I swear I'm going down
I hung my heart in the gallows
Sometimes I wish my little boat
Would just sink already into the sea
Instead of dangling afloat
Torturing daily the fool that is me
My voice carries through the waves
But the tides are standing still
Knowing that I can't be saved
I am slowly losing my will
No rescue ships ever came
The water now up to my knees
I'd ask if you feel the same?
I speak softly through the breeze
I only have myself to blame
For always wanting to believe
The sea will wash away my name
The sea will wash away my disease
Roses will scatter dearly
As I submerge underneath
The sea will wash away memories
The sea will wash away what is me
And by the time you receive this letter
The water may have reached my eyes
And from now until forever
I'll always wonder why

Another poem I wrote

Critique by ~LuvThemHungerGames Oct 11, 2012, 10:07:36 PM

Thanks for the invite to do the critique

And may I ask what you mean by "I'll always wonder why" at the end of the whole poem? You'll always wonder why about what? About why your boat sank About why you hung your heart on the gallows and set yourself up for this fate? About why noone came to save you while you perished?

The tone of this poem is hauntingly sweet and eerily beautiful. I can hear your voice whisper through the wind- sorrowful. But the scene portrays a much deeper, dreadful picture. One of death. Death of the soul. I'd like to imagine that after this death there is rebirth of a new creation- something even more beautiful then what you had before.

Your poem definetly connnects with your readers on many levels because you have is so open. It can be interpreted on so many grounds that it leaves it up to the imagination of each member in your audience. You could survey each person who commented below and they will tell you something slightly different that they saw in your poem. The trick to a good hook is keeping it open for interpretation because we as people like to think of ourselves as free thinkers and independant of the world's views. Keep this in mind as you write your next poems.

Thanks for sharing this with me. I believe this was one of your more accomplished pieces! Well done!

Keep on writting

And may the odds be ever in your favor.

Vision:
The narrator of this poem seems to be someone hanging onto a last thread of hope, but loses it as the poem continues and as his ship is slowly submerged. There are several themes that can be associated with this poem, which I love. For me, the last couple of lines about the sea washing away his name, his disease, memories and what is him reminds me of many people fear being forgotten.

Originality:
This poem is very unique, which I also love. As a fellow writer, I love reading works which make me think, 'Wow, I wish I could've come up with something like that.'

Technique:
I've read several of your poems and they all seem to be just one big stanza. Usually I prefer poems to be broken into proper stanzas, but for this poem, I feel it fits.

Impact:
This one will keep me thinking for a while.

I liked the rhythm, it fit well with the motion of the slowly sinking boat.

~Cheesycorn Oct 8, 2012

I really like this poem. It's very symbolic.
It has a certain rhythm throughout the poem, but I think that the last line throws off the rhythm a little.
