Got Poetry?II

[starcrossed]

Here is to new adventures in creativity... and to our new home. The same 'rules' apply here as did they in our first home. This is a safe place to post all original poetry/works... without fear. Stay positive and be creative.

Write from the heart...

~Steph


Come With Me

Come with me,
As we climb farther up the path before us.

I see new light,
And the coming of a new day.

Many hopes,
And dreams still unseen.

We shall journey,
Toward these sweet rewards.

Cross all of our fears,
And simply be.

Living for each moment,
Taking leaps and bounds...

We shall,
Become so much more,
Than we ever thought.

We shall be...
Everything.

Living for each moment...
Igniting our creative hearts,
Into an inferno of flames.

We shall travel onward.

We shall travel far.

Come with me,
As we leave behind the past,
And make way for our brilliant future.

Child

I am strong.

A born fighter,
Ready to take on all challenges.

I am more.

No less than amazing,
And perfect.

My gift is,
Being me.

I run free,
Never unsure of my path.

Dance,
With uncontrolled joy.

Giggle,
With unheard of amusement.

I am life.

Without fear,
I see the world in rainbow colors.

I am innocence.

There is nothing,
That I cannot accomplish.

Hold me,
When I need comforting.

Forgive me,
When I am wrong.

Show me,
How much you love me.

Never forget,
That I will always be your best friend.

I am yours.

Forever... your child.

You are forever... my Mom and Dad.

[starcrossed]

Here is another new work... I went deep.

In The Light Of Day

Look at you...
Your a freaking mess.

Your eyes swollen,
And streaked from crying.

You can't even walk,
Because your heart is filled with so much pain.

Blame me.

Remind yourself,
How much you did for the little ingrate.

You never knew me...
Or even cared.

All you ever did,
Was tell me how wrong I was...
And point out all my short comings.

Didn't you think that I tried?

Didn't for just one instant,
You ever stop to think that all I want was to please you?

Now it's too late.

I see you mourning.

People surrounding you,
And offering you comfort.

They tell you,
Things will be better in the light of day.

Poor... sweet... you.

Your form shakes,
As you lay on the bed holding my old t-shirt.

Emotionally dying,
As the sunset starts it's slow transition into night.

Now,
I am darkness and sorrow.

How tragic,
To have me gone at such a early age.

How shameful,
That I soiled the family name.

I ruined everything.

Well, I am not here.

Yet even in death,
You judge me.

Where was my comfort?

Where were you when I needed you?

I will tell you...
You were never there!

When I needed you most,
You were never there!

I hurt so much...
Day after day.

I tried so hard to make everything right...
All I ever wanted was to please you.

I never,
Seemed to get anything right.

I never did...

It became,
All too much.

Now... it's too late.

I did something,
That I can't take back.

I can't fix this,
Or make it better.

I know I hurt you...
When I hurt me.

Why won't you stop crying?

Please stop crying...

Please?

Please don't cry.

I didn't mean anything I said..

I am just so confused.

Lost.

Hurt.

I didn't mean to do this.

I am so sorry.

Please don't cry.

I would take it all back if I could...

Mama... I still love you.

Know that... please.

I have to go now.

Please stop crying.

I have to go.

Please...

Things will be better in the light of day.

LOL... Thank you for that

Yup... it was time to start a new thread. I actually started the other thread on December 11, 2006. For some time I had been deleting my old works to make room for others new stuff.However, I felt that it was time to let the pages fill up.

We reached 80 pages! And from experience on other thread's, I knew that one picture or one post too many might cause the thread to break and go... . I didn't want to risk losing anyone's work. So, I asked the wonderful Mods here, to please lock the old thread and place it in the archives.

This is a new thread... but, I am hoping that it will still feel like 'home' to all the current writers and those who are still yet to join us.

Oh... Thank you Iwo for the ribbon cutting ceremony

[starcrossed]

Can You See Me?

Can you see me?

Can you feel anything,
In a world so cold?

I see you...
Broken hearted soul.

Scarred by another,
You are afraid to see me.

Life goes on.

Relationships,
Come and go.

They often are never meant to be,
Or to become more than...

Idle dreams.

Lust infested passion.

A lonely night.

Just a place to be.

Taking away from all the pieces that are already missing,
In some incomplete soul.

How lost are you?

How far do you go,
When pushed to ignore,
The truth you forget to feel?

Parts stolen.

You are alone,
In bed with another.

Relationships...
Are not all bad.

None are the same,
Yet only one shall be forever.

That one will be perfect...
Flaws and all.

No more thoughts of an incomplete heart...
Or life that is not filled.

Take note...
No one can complete you.

No one can give you,
What you already have.

You are complete.

Find strength,
In your own heart.

Refuse to allow another to steal from you,
To fill a void they have within themselves.

Stealing one missing puzzle piece,
From another unfinished puzzle...
Will never work or fit.

Find,
All your own pieces.

Find,
Another with all theirs.

That will be,
What you need.

Not the missing piece,
But another who is completed...
And ready to add to who you are.

A partner.

A friend.

A lover...

The person that will understand you for who you are,
And will protect that with all they are.

[blueeyz]

Horray! We filled the thread to the maximum capacity with humor, tragedy, love, anger, intrigue, wit......I guess I could just go on and on. Here's to filling up another 80 pages! I see you're off to a blazing start, Steph!

Come with Me - great first poem for the thread
Child - so sweet and true
In the Light of Day - heavy and heartbreaking
Can You See Me - some wise words in that one

-Blue (just noticed that there's a smilie with blue eyes that's called "dork2." How SO appropriate! )

[starcrossed]

Thank you Blue So, now who else wants to play?... it's getting lonely posting all alone. Yup, I can write forever, but company is so much more fun.

[bostongirl]

Yes, we certainly did write up a storm. One of my favorites, Writers Seduction.

[starcrossed]

Anyone have anything new to share? Come on... don't make me post again...LOL

[starcrossed]

Alright... hum... me again right? LOL Let's try this one... and then hopefully all my fellow writer's will have their creativity start to flow onto this threads pages as well.

Frayed

Beautiful vision.

Like a ribbon,
Dancing in the wind.

Storms pass,
And life takes it's toll.

The edges,
Once held so strongly together,
Unravel.

The ribbon,
Is set free.

Please, don't look at me...

Tears fall.

I cannot explain why.

Emotions run through my veins,
And despair returns close to the surface of reality.

I am without fear,
Within doubt.

Sadness and longing,
Engulf all that I have come to know.

I yearn for something more...

Something I don't see,
Somehow I still know exists out in the world for me.

I keep being pushed away,
Used,
And mistreated.

Frustrations build.

Pray to God on bended knee,
That I am saved.

So much within my heart,
I feel all.

No breathe.

Too much...
And need an anchor to hold me.

Emotions running through...
Past...
Within me.

Save me.

I am lost.

I have no path.

Forced to endure,
The wrath of each storm.

Like the ribbon,
I am becoming frayed.

[blueeyz]

Aw, Steph, you're all by yourself posting away.....

I'm sorry I haven't been posting.....hopefully I will again soon.

Just because I'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not reading.....so feel free to write away!!

[starcrossed]

Hi Blue:) Hum... I don't know... at this rate I will be creating another book, but using the thread...LOL

Why are you back to new fan? Did we lose you Blue?

[blueeyz]

Yep, lost briefly. I know, it's weird to see "new fan." More like "returning fan" LOL.

[bostongirl]

awe Star - so sorry that we have left you alone. I do have a new one but it needs a little more work. But soon, promise. And I am on vacation next week in the a most romantic of places . Hopefully some quiet and peace and a little spare time will results in something new.

No matter what, you are still 'Blue'... titles and posting numbers, do not change who are are as a person . I am happy that you were only 'lost' for a short time. It would have been lonely and strange here without you.

I know... it was lonely here LOL I will be alright. But, I love the creative company and missed it.

Have a blessed trip Boston... and enjoy

[starcrossed]

Here is another one to keep the thread moving...


War

I whispered for more than a thousand years,
And yet not a single soul heard me.

Standing far away from life,
Death needed no introduction...
It was all to familiar a friend to my mind.

Death was a lover,
That insisted I give it all my attention.

Soiled in other’s doubt,
I became what they loathed.

Like some false version of a human being,
Walking the Earth void of all emotion.

Like a plague,
Consuming all and nothing,
Just to mimic living... life.

Hatred rendered me senseless.

I knew not a single thing.

I cared for little,
If at all.

I whispered for a thousand years,
And yet not a single soul heard me.

Now, I shout louder than falling hillsides...
And force the world to see me.

Destroying all that I touch.

Laughing,
In scorn at those who mocked me.

Spitting on those that tried to pretend that I wasn’t coming,
Or that I never existed.

Still, in mourning...
Victims weep.

I refuse to be bothered...
Bitter till the very end.

Stealing,
All that comes innocently to beg of my mercy.

I take.

I consume.

I become.

Greater than all salvation...
The weak and selfless beg for mercy.

I take more.

Unrelenting,
And fueled in greed.

Until, one day the Earth and all the it’s inhabitants scream for me to be silent!

Stand still.

Be at rest.

End all that I do...
Or what I have done.

I whispered for more than a thousand years,
And yet not a single soul heard me.

I am War...
Where is Peace?

I whispered for more than a thousand years,
And yet not a single soul heard me...
Until the day I was standing at their door.

Thank you, Steph. That's very sweet. And yes, titles and numbers don't change who I am.

Although I do miss my reputation points. I was hoping to redeem them for Martybucks.
