I would love to see some creativity guys and gals, this is a thread for poets to write their hearts and i'd love to see this thread grow into an active thread. Anyone can post, preferable poetry but if you have some creative ideas to get out then go ahead and post it.

Rules

• Its a free world, so you may comment on works posted, but keep the comments civil unless the author asks for brutal truth then give it to them.
• There is no limit to how many works you can post.
• Have fun, and get creative

I apologize for the short intro to the thread, but i feel this doesn't need much description. Have fun!

Nightmare

You fall peacefully into sleep
Waking every secret hidden deep
Drifting away from all that is safe and kind
Darkness, tearing away at your mind

Smothered contently in your sin
Awaken, the monster born within
Rising faster than the tide
There is nowhere in your dreams to hide

Claws circle around your heart
In sleep, you become grisly art
You cannot fight your own beast
Your acts have made you its feast

The dark side of your soul
Something you say you can't control
You cannot hide your monsterous shame
You and it are one and the same

Sleep is a suppoused hiding place
But, in sleep you see your true face
Every deed sculpting a vision
The soul is your decision

Craft an angel or nightmare
In the end, you will care
The path to heaven and hell
Don't make yourself an empty shell
Don't make yourself a nightmare

​

Getting things started off with a dark poem that i revised from an older version. I typed this up without editting, so please be brutally honest with your comments.

Hellfire Ooooohh very interesting. I like the transformation and development. It would make a good song!

Here is mine:

"Angel"
Who were you,
Angel that I know?
Who were you,
Those days long ago?

Why do I shed tears
For you day after day?
Who do I feel the deep connection
Which inside me lay?

Who were you
Angel that I know?
Your grace still holds
blow after blow.

You who left so soon.
You who now stay so long.
In my heart
Echoes your song.

Who were you
Angel I know?
Who were you,
Those days so long ago?

This is something i wrote hope you enjoy it Is it really for us to blame,
A grand world full of shame,
Hatred blinded by beauty and power,
While who we look to plays and cower,
You hold back your truth of claim
While we ourselves are to be taim
Calming words of lies and vines
Wrapping round our brutal minds

 

[Hall Kervean]

Tip the hat, swish the coat
Burn the house, leave a note
Mess with 'im, mess with us
Silence you, no more fuss.

Mind of 9's and 10's
My mind does not work by 2's and 4's
it works by 9's and 10's,
the extremity was not intended

I simply can not drop a little off my edge,
simply become less snappy and angry,
I walk with the resting bitch face till you bury me.

I can not be a little less,
can not feel less for someone,
yet feel for them all in one.

I cared for someone once,
broken and abused of my openly loving heart,
ran into a love that was nothing from the start

now my 9's and 10's worked in extremities again,
I care little to none at all,
and now because of one, many pay the fall.

Flustered against being mature,
wanting some fun,
yet knowing I must not be dumb.

My mind is always making me think,
it reminds me of my past,
the silvers of happiness.

once gain the 9's and 10's
my heart wanting to love someone new,
my mind reminding it of how it is impossible for you.

I once had visions,
the hope of a new life,
then the darkness blew out my candle light.

9's and 10's playing in on my game,
now my mind believes of no hope,
allows my mind to accept the darkness my new home.

To kiss a bird is to set it free
Even if that bird does not belong to me
I see its cage and watch it weep
Oh how the birds cries cut me deep
'It's not your bird' the others whisper
Because they could ignore the distraught creature
'It's fine' my companions may say
I'm alone as they walk away
The birds soft wings are lifted high
As if they're going to fly
That owner of yours does you no good
Unlike me, I know I would
A bird like you though, prefers to be free
So I'll let you fly, far away from me
Slowly I lean, preparing you for flight
How I will miss you this night
The others are angry, they take me as a fool
'How dare you let it go?' they say
Your blue feathers, remind me of your stay
How could I not let you soar?
Oh happy bird, I hope you find what you're looking for.

 

[Hellfire]

well done, and thank you to those that have posted hellish child Hall Kervean Fluteytoots GiantSugarCake

Okey, Thanks!!

Nameless (original by me)

Why are you so ruthless and cruel

Heartless and cold

Why do you like to hurt me

You know it's getting quite old.

This is all nonsense

Why is it like this

I'm so tired of the ugly scars your words leave

They hurt me and make me bleed

If i wouldn't know better i'm sure i would have

Threw the first punch now you're dead and gone

Don't you know i'm suffering crying

The thoughts they hurt just as much as your words

So tell me now why you feel the need

To hurt me

In every word you say

The clocks ticking as time flies

Watching a sweet girl close her eyes as the last part of her life

Duh dum dum

Fades away

See this is what happens

so shut your mouth

Before karma shuts it for you

See

Would you do this to your family

Do it to your grandma?

Yeah, haha, no you wouldn't

Your funny if you think i'm not fluent

In every scenario

Hi ho the cherrio

Not everything's cool

As it seemed years ago

Yeah

Everythings changed now

Nothing is the same now

Everyone’s to blame now

Or so it seems

Yeah i'm a rookie at this

Don't tell me what i miss

What i like

What i hate

I'm not your

Little plastic Barbie doll

Your little bitty playdough ball

Nah

Well

I try to be me but it just seems

That no one likes me no matter what i try to be

And

If everyone loved me for me then i would definitely be

One of a kind

Nothing of the same

Seems like every card

Is hard to play

Depressing

So stressing

Hard for guessing

I show i'm happy

But under the surface

I'm so freakin nervous

So scared

Terrified

No matter how much i tried

I stay horrified

Like i said

Nothing seems to change

After all these years i’m finally insane

Ha, no, i was already there

"Pure"
An angel too pure for this world.
The demons found you and you fell.
They took you away.

Your smile will never bless me.
Your laugh will never warm me.
Your eyes will never see me.

But I will always know your stories.
I will always feel your presence.
I will always feel your loss.

My love I carry for you
The man I will never get to meet.
The man I somehow know so well.




-been remembering a lot lately and thought that I needed to let it all out!
For one I will never meet, but cherish all the same

 

[Hellfire]

The light and the dark

Life is wonderful and good
As long as you do as you should
No evil in your ways
In the end it pays

Life is a lie
Only known by the sly
You have evil deep within
Sin is the way we begin

Our souls are truly good
There is no darker side
Where in all could it hide

Where there is light there is shadow
The dark devours the light
It is beyond your strength to fight

How can a man be so cold
With all the beautiful stories yet to unfold

How can a man be so glad
There is so much in this world that is sad

Good is the truth within

There is no heaven, only sin

Two sides to one
Decision unsaid done
Bad or good
You choose as you should

​

"Monsters"

A title I hold.

I carry,

I endure.



To be bold,

To be strong,

To be Fearless.



I will not fold.

I dare not give in.

I have to stand tall.



My hands go cold.

My heart starts to slow.

The dark creeps close.



Then I gleam gold.

Fire consumes,

Eyes turn to light.



The dark falls old.

It shivels in my blaze,

It hisses at my haze.



I scream with anger long rolled.

A bright flash,

A long bash.



The monsters I fight

Will take me in the end.

But not till I've taken them.

just a reply about the rap thing, god rap is the poetry from heart spoken to a beat. the idea that rap is fast and for black men is an illusion. I understand if you believe the poem is best kept the way it is written just some encouragement ^^

Thanks, it was a spur of the moment thing

"Free Me"

For so long

I've been

fighting wrong.

Killing neatly planned,

I'm became a demon.



So shift the shadows,

from my soul.

Shoo away the evil crow.

Take these bloody hands,

Clean and free them.


Make my heart beat

Once or twice more.

Help me withstand the heat.

Bring my feet to stand.

Take the numbness from my run.



Hold my head high,

Take a chance,

Maybe I will die,

But I will stand.

The devil be cursed,



I will fight for Good.
