    The Originality Taste

    You can't see the beauty through this human waste,
    and you can't feel the peace in the originality taste.
    There's tears that will fall, droplets to scorch,
    times where the wasted will carry the torch.
    I wake up and think dreams are real every day,
    and I hope and I pray -
    that there's tears that will fall, droplets to scorch,
    times where the wasted will carry the torch -
    but for all the right reasons, that no one can see.
    I pray this for all since there's no originality.
    We need more in life than wh-r-es and transvestites,
    and more than the cruelty that fills our delights.
    For, you can't see the beauty through this human waste,
    but maybe with some changes we can give originality a taste.

    A cosmic force that rules the galaxies

    You've always been the one who believed
    You're the cosmic force that rules the galaxies
    And as a powerful imperator of the world
    You changed yourself with a violent sword

    Replaced the moon and the stars with candles
    Replaced the heart with old rose petals
    Having feelings thrown away as unneeded
    And your sun turned off coz it was bleeding

    You realize your galaxy has empty
    And that you were just tempted
    To believe in your cosmic force,
    But you can't even straighten out the life of yours

    ~~~~~~~~
    Trading Off Between My Open Hand and Swinging Fists

    This just doesn't come naturally to me anymore,
    But you're right, nothing about this ever was.
    The beginning was just a facade to be broken
    And the end taught my heart a lesson unneeded.

    With a fist full of change and absolutely no sense,
    Walking in circles would have meant more to me
    Than anything you ever did or said, just simply because
    You never really cared about anyone but yourself.

    So I'll leave it be and pretend like nothings changed,
    Because other than an underlying want of something,
    I always knew that you were just a lie telling the truth
    And amid it all; you somehow believe your own bad advice.

    Trading off between my open hand and swinging fists,
    I struggle to leave with stinging words in my bag and
    Fight still left in me to prove that you were always wrong,
    But with a head as big as yours, it will take only her to show you.

    ````````````
    Almost Immortal

    I wanna stay home for the end of the world,
    Draped in darkness,
    Embracing the sky,
    Or perhaps in the arms of my lover,
    The moon and stars replaced by candles.

    I shall wish for a smile,
    Embracing my final breath,
    Content to let go,
    Surrounded by warmth,
    Knowing I gave everything I had.

    This moment,
    This place,
    But a second in time,
    My heart,
    But a faint whisper.

    Death will never take all of me,
    Beads of memory,
    Shared strands of emotion,
    Both bind me here,
    To those I touch.
    ```````````

    Empathetic Requiem

    Lightings weave translucent embrace
    of ghostlike figures mantled with raindrops
    embedded into silent night's mechanism,
    gliding towards the facets of melting dawns.

    -Whisper it to me, your solemn requiem-
    she murmured self-created elegy,
    ardent words sealed within wounded heart
    that dripped over already moistened street.

    "Your dream vacation is my hostage refuge"
    silently he repeated her thought's cadence,
    rhythmic secrets of ragged yesterdays.
    "You're the cosmic force that rules the galaxies".

    Tired minds spill confessions within purgatory,
    vacant, arcane words of neglectful misanthropy;
    bloodshot eyes absorb obscure magnificence,
    intricate endowments of demonic synthesis.

    Haha very creative.

    too bad I hate writing poems under pressure.

    and you wouldnt pick me anyway, cuz u hate my styles, yo.

  • Lauren Waszkiewicz
    16 years ago

    I don't NOT Like your styles, and you're going to get this thread locked. don't post if you have nothing important to say!

    UPDATE:: Ok so since a few people dont seem to understand what i mean by 2-3 lines per poem!::

    You must incorporate two or three lines i have listen above into one poem. If you use two, both have to be in the poem, and one can act as the title if you desire it to be so. if you use three, all can be in the poem and one can be the title, or you can use two within the poem, and have one as your title.
    This isn't a titled contest, so Frankly Scarlet, i couldnt care less what your titles are.

    Goodbye, my almost lover

    You're the cosmic force that rules the galaxies
    You're my everything
    and my everywhere
    the moon, the stars
    and even god above
    You sent my world spinning
    when you went and
    replaced the moon and stars with candles
    and showed me that even fairy tales
    have endings!
    By simply whispering,
    "Goodbye, my almost lover"
