    Sometimes I have These titles in my mind,
    That I know I cant make a Poem for.
    I just know theyre really good potential poems.

    So pick some titles and you can write a poem. Post them in here and we can tell you how to make them better, or if you just wanna show them off.

    Those are pretty good. Don't worry, you'll be able to think of poems. Just think of a story about the title then make it rymme, then arange it so its good. That's what I do ^^

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Here it goes:

    Watch Me as I Watch You

    i can see you
    but you can't see me
    because im just a ghost to you
    and your just my wife to be

    i keep hoping youll notice
    but all hope is gone now
    because i want to talk to you
    but i simply dont know how

    because when i see you
    im unable to speak
    time keeps passing me by
    day by day week by week

    i have to take a chance
    i just... got to
    i can't just keep hoping that one day
    you'll watch me as i watch you

    i think it came out alright

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost

    Its a little morbid but here it goes:

    cut throat lies and dead alibies

    cut throat lies and dead alibies
    is all i have left in my life
    its amazing how in only a few days
    how Reacquainted ive gotten with my knife

    my throat doesnt bleed anymore
    you bled it dry
    i killed your so called "alibies"
    so dont even try to lie

    so you want to play "whose the better killer"
    i still hold the high score
    so don't even blink sweety
    or you'll be dead on the floor

    so if you exspect blood
    all your gonna get is an icy flow
    because cut throat lies and dead alibies
    is the only thing i know

    its dark but good

    So close to closing
    wen a stranger stopped by.
    he said he was hungry
    and i sugguested the fries.
    but i cant pay you miss
    i hav no money.
    i made a bunch of tips today
    dont sweat it honey.
    how kind of you to offer
    wat can i do for you?
    you sit back get comfy and warm
    then just enjoy the food.
    but there must be some way
    i can pay back my debt.
    no sweety its my pleasure
    dont you even fret.
    he finished the fries
    as she put a sanwhich on his plate.
    but if i stay for this
    wont you close late?
    i believe so
    but my concience will be clear.
    and you will hav a hot meal
    before you sleep my dear.
    such a lovely person you are
    god truely made you different.
    then he stopped short
    and rested eyes her pendant.
    who is that man there
    the one in the photo?
    that is the man i love
    but he will never know.
    see he was a soldier
    and he died in iraq.
    ill never forget the day
    i learned he wasnt coming be back.
    i didnt tell him before he left
    he needed no distractions
    but now i feel if i would have
    this might now have happened.
    maybe we would have fought harder
    and struggled more to survive.
    but its too late to turn back
    they already took his life.

    Let me try a sudden stop

    It's not easy to witness
    Someone's heartrate drop
    Of course its even harder
    When you heart comes to a sudden stop

    Because you can't live without them
    You made an unspoken deal
    A silent promise to ensure
    That your love for her is real

    When you have their blood on your hands
    As they whisper in your ear
    "I love you always"
    Things have never been so unclear

    What am I supposed to do
    My world is stationary, my love is dead
    Everything has come to a sudden stop
    i've run out of tears to shed

    (it was kind of ify) but the ending felt right

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Ok let me have another go at it with

    Inertia's Game

    I've lost my will to live
    Nothing seems the same
    I'm sick of fighting my thoughts
    I'm done playing inertia's little game

    Forcing me to move
    When I don't even want to exist
    I have sweet dreams of bladed handcuffs
    Cutting through my wrist's

    It's funny that other poeple's nightmares
    Are my sweet dreams
    i see peoples fake smiles
    And I hear their silent screams

    Now that I have spoken my mind
    Things will never be the same
    I'm sick of living this life
    I'm done playing inertia's little game

    (a little morbid) but if you like that sort of thing then i feel it came out great

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost

    I really like this title

    Stay in or Break Out

    Stay in or break out
    What option should I take
    Live to fight or fight to live
    What choice should I make

    If I stay in
    I might as well prepare for war
    I'm the biggest target in this prison
    They don't even know what their fighting for

    If I break out
    I'll be living life on the run
    Why try to fight back
    When you know they've already won

    Now i'm standing on the outside
    And it isnt what i want
    I wish I was inside. it's calling me
    I can hear it's taunts

    If I stay I know
    There is only so much I can take in
    Forget my other options now what
    Shout I stay out or break in

    i like it

    Ooh, i wanna try spiriling away...
    ill post it when i finish :]

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Im back and i think i will also try spiraling away

    Too long too late
    Seems like I've been lead astray
    But it's still my own fault
    For spiraling away

    I made it happen
    I let you distract me
    I had my eyes on you when i was blindsighted
    But it was really you who attacked me

    Messing with my heart
    Just simply for fun
    Ever since I figured it out
    It seems like I'm coming undone

    Too long too late
    But that ends today
    I'm done being the playtoy
    I'm done spiraling away

    definitely not on my game but im extremely tired from tests all week and i still got two more but i wont let that stop me

    Darkness deep within

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Im going to try trail of crimson realities

    thoughts of past anger
    are splattered with bloody fatalities
    it seems like all i have left
    is a trail of crimson realities

    it always feels like
    i wake up in the middle of the night
    pretending the nightmare was fake
    that everythings going to be alright

    because i know thats what you would tell me
    if only you were here
    but the nightmare of your death
    is the one thing i still fear

    it seems like i have a dream
    of rage and brutality
    and then i wake up
    and it becomes a crimson reality

    wasnt bad

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Nice one i like its feeling im going to try Scream your heart out, they're not listening anyways

    im tormented by my other half
    its the same thing every day
    he laughs and says "scream your heart out
    they're not listening anyways"

    he shows me
    the true meaning of pain
    he introduces me
    to the darkest part of my brain

    been fighting for a long time
    most of the fights are against my mind
    all this time been searching
    for an enemy i can't find

    my worst enemy is myself
    i've been tortured in many ways
    so i'm going to scream my heart out
    nobody's listening anyways

    i liked it alot

    Hey you guys im sorry but i broke my foot and i got alot of work to make up in class so if im not on for a while ... you know why

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Let me just throw a title out there while i'm not here "how alive? too alive"

  • Vix
    16 years ago

    Just an idea. I was looking at the titles people had put forward and a lot of them read like lines from within a poem too. Sometimes when I have quite a few of these little phrases, or titles, I put them together to make the beginnings or first draft of a poem. Even if they totally contrast it’s fun to play. It is also a good way of playing with different forms. I recently wrote a pantoum through cutting up bits of phrases and titles I had and putting them back together. Its a great way to learn new forms and experiment.

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Hey you guys im back and ready to write when ne1 has any new titles just post them and ill see what i can do see you all around

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Let me try so close to closing:

    so close to closing my mind
    to all the stress and pain
    all the anger and violence
    thats been flowing through my brain

    so close to closing my eyes
    and falling into eternal sleep
    dehydrated by the tears
    i have no more tears to weep

    so close to ending this
    i keep trying to make amends
    so close to stopping
    because i'm so tired of dead ends

    it seems that this rhapsody of pain and sorrow
    is something im composing
    god i'm coming because my eyes
    are so close to closing

    (I love it)

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Ill take dust and more dust:

    i don't want to do this
    but i know that i must
    because all i have left
    is dust and more dust

    because who i thought where my friends
    really were traitors
    it doesnt matter because i know
    they'll get theirs sooner or later

    but now my heart
    is a frozen block of ice
    i'm done gambling over respect
    i'm done rolling these loaded dice

    i am throwing in the towel
    because i have no one left to trust
    it seems all i have left
    is dust, dust, and more dust

    (it came out alright)

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    This ones gonna be tricky but ill take Trading Hearts, Like We're Playing Cards.:

    i'm a spade
    and thats not about to change
    everyone thinks i'm all hearts
    but i have none to exchange

    i'm no diamond
    came from the wrong side of the tracks
    ive never been a rich kid
    so we need to face the facts

    i'm no club
    never had much good luck
    i'm tired of squeezing pennies
    trying to make a buck

    if your looking for my heart
    all youll find is a spade
    trading hearts like we're playing cards
    it's time for me to fade

    this one was tricky but i love it

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Its not taking someone elses titles they donate them because they cannot use them its very inspirational its helped me out of some serious writers block

  • Nicole the Fairy
    16 years ago

    Kevin, I was going to take the title "Dust and More Dust"
    -- But you took it haha.

    Although, I must admit, it is an excellent poem.
    Couldn't have written one better myself <3

    I also have soo many ideas rushing through my head, that they rush too fast I can't even write them down!! ;o

    I have so many poems in my head, and they flow so easily, but the titles don't match up.

    Ill have an idea for a title, then write the poem - then find out that the poem has nothing to do with the title and/or vice versa.

    I find it better that I write the poem -- using many of the ideas, and then add a title after. Just like an essay -- you write the body paragraphs first, then the conclusion then lastly, the introduction.

    Hmm.

    Weird. <3

    Oh, and all of the other poems are also very good - not bad considering you were all thrown a title and used imaginative techniques to create such great pieces.

    Well done <3

    - Nicole x

  • kevin Boundy AKA the ghost
    16 years ago

    Thank you its a very good way to write because truthfully for some writers all you need is a title a line a word anything and then it just sparks a fire of emotions and words thats what i do and all the words just flow through me so fast i can barely get them down on paper lol but there are some titles on here i have trouble writing mostly skulls and stripes it really bothers me that i cant write to it i was thinking either a patriotic poem or a fashion statement poem but ieither way i have never done something like that but thanks again for the major compliment

  • Nicole the Fairy
    16 years ago

    Lol.
    You're welcome ;]
    Do you carry a small note-pad and pencil/pen with you when travelling long distances or away?
    I do <3
    Not like I go away often -.-
    Lol.
    But I try to write my ideas down asap!
    I even carry a pad of paper and pen with my into the toilet!! ;o Shocking I know. -.-
    Lol.
    But I find it so easy to let it flow if I rush the ideas down, then come back to them when I'm in a poetry-writing-moood <3
    -- Yw. And good luck <3
    -- Nicole x

    Trail of Crimson Realities

    Separate personalities
    Forced upon each other
    Resulting in a negative attraction
    The trail of crimson realities

    Pacing along his broken heart
    Attempting to mend the two halves
    However let the truth be made
    It’s a trail of crimson realities

    Blood becomes the path
    As it drips like tear drops
    Splashing gently upon the pavement
    Leaving a trail of crimson realities

    Pain to be released
    Only one way to leave a mark
    May he never forget
    My trail of crimson realities
