do we make new threads, or just post in here? I'll share some of my song lyrics I wrote.

Serious or funny poetry? I'm good with funny.

Well then:

I'm barefoot on the sidewalk
And I feel like a bum
I feel a tug
I squished a bug?!
Thank heavens...
Only gum.

This was a request by a man I call "The Disease". It took a minute and a half. No flaming me.
Love is a mistake, a call for heartbreak... a game with too high a stake.
When you fall into love you fall without break and you fall without knowing your place.
And when the game is over and done, and love has played it's role,
Love tears you apart and mends up your heart so you can go back and dig the same hole.

I wrote this about my Study Hall at school one day...

encaesd by stylized, uneven walls
upon which emblazoned with mountainous light
contrasting and conflicting against shadows, sweeping
through origins elsewhere; destination unclear
as the dull gray descends,
interloping upon breached barriers of luminescence
cast upon the shadow-forms fixed as phantasms frozen,
fixtures projecting an unmoving glare
constant confliction of rivals devout,
until clicked off the flickswitch and the shadows win out

This is a very old song of mine, back in my Indie lyric stages. Its a stammered piece like any Bright Eyes song you listen to.

-Snapshots and Sunsets

are you satisfied tonight?
the damage is done and the pride has been broken
are you through for now?
you've had all yoru fun now it's time for you to choke down your medicine
pills in your veins, your medicine

and I don't want to see you till you've swallowed them all
all your hope starts to break when your heart starts to fall
you hold down your stomach with some cheap tylenol
and the dry coughs follow your medicine
so hard to swallow your medicine

are you satisfied tonight?
the damage is done and the pride has been broken
I guess its over now
you've had all your fun and by now you have reached for your medicine
escape from this life with your medicine
you'll know what to do if you just take some of you medicine

the pictures hung crooked nailed deep in the wall
as the sun is setting the shadows grow tall and I've
noticed your pupils are growing so small
you hold down your stomach with some cheap tylenol
and dry coughs follow your medicine
so hard to swallow your medicine

the snapshots and sunsets of no consequence
when you're wasted and broken by your diffidence
preaching and leeching all at your expense
these pills taking all of your self confidence...

I usually hate free verse, but I really like the one I posted earlier. That might be the only free-verse poem I've written and not scrapped.

I like to work with shadows. The next time I write, I'm gonna explore some metaphors between Sea and Shadowscapes.

Here's a sonnet I just wrote for my enlish class

Alone together with the fog afloat
We watch as the crisp night air melts away
The three everlasting words that he wrote
For the love we share will forever stay
As one, we will caress each star above
Wandering thoughts of him travel my mind
Nothing will keep us from this newfound love
How could our friendship have made us so blind?
Soundless nights give us a silence and peace
Connected through our emotions, so strong
The cherishing we feel will never cease
I just know inside that this can’t go wrong
The world’s weight is as light as a feather
Tonight we sit here, Alone Together.

cold yet it burns
hot yet it chills
the feeling burns through
edging you on
you want to
but dont know how
yet you do know,
deep down inside
the never fading presence
of the urge for suicide

i had this baby published, but now the people in my english group think im crazy

I lie here in my room
on my bed,
my eyes stare off into space
the radio plays

I've been thinking for awhile,
about [img]http://forums.legendsalliance.com/public/ALOT.png[/img]
about nothing at all,
I used to sleep,
but that was when
I could still dream
about love,
about peace,

I live in my world,
and they live here too,
but they cant get along,
why must they fight?

I lie here in my room
on my bed,
my eyes stare off into space
tomarrow will be another day,
I turn the music up louder

[Coltxdoom]

I keep it all inside
without sleep
or movement
your eyes
your secrets
bear me down
like sand bags around
my feet

I take a breathe an try to dive
to untie these deadly weights
that are dragging my feet
into sweet infinity
I've got to find away

I push
I pull
I untie
I fall
never escaping my fate
as one drowned in her
own human waste
her time of listening
to everyone else
their perversions
their haste
sinking from the traps
secretly laid benegth her
weary feet

I push
I pull
I untie
I fall
never escaping my fate
as one drowned in her
own human waste
her time of listening
to everyone else
their perversions
their haste
sinking from the traps
secretly laid benegth her
weary feet

I move around, frantic,
underwater by my feet
the panic almost complete
I wiggle I shake
anything to change my ugly
fate; the chains forever
pulling down, letting no
air escape until I sufficate
and I become apart of the sea

I push
I pull
I untie
I fall
never escaping my fate
as one drowned in her
own human waste
her time of listening
to everyone else
their perversions
their haste
sinking from the traps
secretly laid benegth her
weary feet

A forever prisoner to the ocean blue
all because of you and your chains
your emotional baggage
that you gave to me
the emotional covering
you created with me
has finally caught up
a fate I cannot dismiss
can't escape
no turning back
i'm already within the sand
death becoming the essential part of me

I push
I pull
I untie
I fall
never escaping my fate
as one drowned in her
own human waste
her time of listening
to everyone else
their perversions
their haste
sinking from the traps
secretly laid benegth her
weary feet

the chariot is near
my heart beats few
and between
i'm unconsious
beneath my feet
when sudenly
you, who have damned me
come to the rescue
uncut my feet and set me free
I run away from death
whose breath I could smell
and taste; he who dragged me
below also is the one who
set me free

I push
I pull
I untie
I fall
never escaping my fate
as one drowned in her
own human waste
her time of listening
to everyone else
their perversions
their haste
sinking from the traps
secretly laid benegth her
weary feet

(until fade)
