anyways, you guys know the rules. post somethig you wrote, or a friend of yours wrote. or if you dont want to post some poem, you can always read others work and comment on that. unlike the last poetry thread, lets try to comment on every poem we get in.
(if you want me to add or remove something, just PM me, and i'll edit it right away.)

17.02.2011 - 22:18 Written by Wilkinson on 03.02.2011 at 14:12 This is a really amazing poem. You sound almost as a prophet at some point, you speak as the earth at other points, and a mystic traveller at others. You seem to be listening to the voices I often speak of. Those be they angel or demon or prophet or simply the inner voice of the soul. This is both beautiful and epic (and by epic, it's the tone). I am simply amazed really and I love this poem very much. You should write fantasy novels. I think you've got the stuff to make them amazing in the way you write. The language, tone, and structure blow me away. In addition, this poem takes the imagination to visual ecstasy in the references you make. Simply amazing!

Thank you This poem is quite personnal, actually, and it does mean quite a lot for me. As far as writing fantasy novels is concerned, I've tried that already.. Completed the first one (it's actually a novella, or whatever term can be used for 20,000 words) a couple of months ago

Account deleted Written by whatsacow on 20.02.2011 at 21:59 Thanks! When I was a little younger I tried to write serious and philosophical poetry, but I just sucked at it, so I basically gave up and I've been a comedic poet ever since . Actually, I think I've never met anyone as un-poetic as me* * that might not be a word.

Hi , I don't write lyric usually , my lyric is so short but i wanna know what's your idea , read and modify my lyric thanks "Darkness Forever" You're still furthering How come ? You're still suffering Wherefore ? You're still militating For what ? You're still waiting For who ? At last The darkness will surround you You'll spent from militate Embrace your loneliness It will remain whit you Forever Now open your eyes again And you'll see it's passed too

I cant sleep for a days now,and each time I close my eyes this poem came across my mind.... It is raw ,unfinished,weird and it will be accompanied by music on my new demo(hopefully) Possessed (Part two Infernal Chain) she walks the unholy path mistress of mist, temptress of night she posess me every night and watch the world through my eyes and as the dream of faling and painfull crush isnt enough she rip my heart out and scatter my body with a smile and the pain i feel is gone and once agin i am happy and not alone then she carve her sign on my forhed pile the parts of my body together and with her's wet tongue she licks my wounds and i revive.... and here's eyes watching me and she whispers to me and smile OK that was it...what do you think..... As I said it is raw and weird....

28.02.2011 - 07:54 Written by Cyroth on 07.02.2011 at 00:37 Ahh my computer closed down my browser before I could hit the post button! Grr!! Let's see if I can remember what I wrote... I have noted that you have all been commenting on each other's poems. That's wonderful! I know everyone, especially any new poets, appreciate this! Great Job! I'm really proud of you! Sorry for being gone for so long. My life seems to never give me a break! They've been working me to death and the stress has had me with chest pains and anxiety attacks at times. But let's see what I can get done for you guys tonight... This poem seems to need a bit of work, although I know your heart was in it. There were a few lines that threw me off a bit. Maybe you can clarify them for me. The second line: "Past grips and seize, tears me apart" This one totally threw me off. What did you mean here? The 3rd stanza seemed to be the strongest, and I found it amusing that almost every line ended with a rhyme. I think that was just pure happenstance lol... Still, I was very amused Be this as it may, the final stanza was my favorite, even with the first line of it being a bit confusing in the imagery for me personally. Were cries heard or tears shed? I understand the reason for this small mistake, but would love to clarify for the imagery. The next 2 lines were my favorites: "Paving this life sealed in thin layers of misery. With illusions filling the gaps of a half empty heart" It appears that the writer is either starting to go mad or is trapped in a daydream here. I loved this reference, intended or not! All in all, it was a good attempt and had some very good lines to it. Keep up the good work. Your next poem could be your masterpiece! I will try to rest my eyes a bit and prepare for work coming in shortly. I have to take my son to a doctor's appointment in the morning and will probably not have much of a chance for sleep at all, as I have work in the afternoon and evening as well. I had asked for a reduction in hours because of the stress, but it's just not possible to give them to me right now because of the things going on at work (part of which is one of the causes of my stress). I just can't win. Keep up the great work everyone. I'm so happy this thread is seeing a fair amount of posts again. And I can't wait to read the funny poem everyone is talking about. Cheers everyone! I hope to return soon with more energy so I can comment on more than just one poem. Yours always, Raging Dreamer

01.03.2011 - 09:24 Written by whatsacow on 14.02.2011 at 08:45 I see you've been tinkering with word use here. Malevolence and Benevolence, aptly used. This seems to be a cleverly-disguised rant about someone in particular, perhaps a political figure. At least this is my interpretation. It could also be a poem about someone from a movie, but somehow I doubt that is the case. At any rate, the feelings seem to be loathing, disgustful. The subject of this poem makes no apologies for his behavior, and his comeuppance is reaped. The ending is still of tragedy all around and multiplied. Makes me wonder who this is REALLY about. Good job on this. It's one for the analytical books, in my opinion. One could examine it and find various meanings, and that is sometimes quite interesting to do. Keep up the great work!

A frenzied moment of despair, The anarchaic urge of lust, The frailty of life without a conscience... Fingernails piercing through the skin, trying to scratch an itch that will not cease... The skin grows back, although not the same... Deadened. Calloused. A reminder of past mistakes. A forceful indication of everything you stood for, Love. Morality. Mercy. Awash in the sea of what could of been. As nothingness stays and remains bitter, whispering secrets of the void... the abyss. The abyss of your mind is where your self control remainds.

Black and white. Colours dissipate. Dissaray. Confused in its simplicity... Flaws in the logic. Stains in my mind. Destiny uncertain. Free will or lack discipline? Grey. Morally ambiguous. Sexually liberated. Termed a slut. Dreamlands uninhabited. Thought process shut down. An empty shell. Spouting meaningless words. Philosophy stems from boredom. Wisdom is born of pain. Peace springs forth from violence... The effect supposedly justify the methods

04.03.2011 - 05:08 Written by whatsacow on 15.02.2011 at 07:51 This one is interesting and seems to describe your feeling of separation from the world, of the madness endured and caused by these feelings. I love how you pull the shroud around yourself to hide.... And then the fact that this shuts you down to a dull numbness, where there is a lack of thought or energy or even emotion. Or at least you don't want to feel or think... The image of a giant chasm come crashing down on itself violently is quite something... The end line I had a hard time deciphering the first few times I read it... You call it art.. the art of the tomb you created? the art of a self-made world? either way, this is very sharp in its meaning. The only thing you need to fix is 'seperated' needs to be 'separated' since it is a misspell. Good job on this. Keep up the great work! Perhaps not one of your stronger poems, but still very strong in meaning... Take care all.. It may take me a while to catch up on all the commenting, but I'll get there... It's been a rough couple of days, but things are smoothing out again a bit.... I hope to see you all again soon! Yours always, Raging Dreamer

07.03.2011 - 08:37 Written by whatsacow on 16.02.2011 at 12:31 I find it interesting the way you wrote this, alternating between seasons and times of day, but both late. Late in the year and late in the day, at the times which are darkest. I would have liked to see you take on all 4 seasons and the various times of day, just to see the variance of contrast you could portray. In all though, this is a very interesting piece, with some very sharp truths entwined. The last few lines were perhaps the sharpest, with the last line adding a punch of stark realization to the reader. You continue to be an extremely talented writer, even with the harsher tones you use. Great job! I look forward to your next installment.

07.03.2011 - 08:45 Written by Gurth Bennas on 16.02.2011 at 19:33 Very interesting writing by this poet. I enjoyed the first one better, and found it interesting that the translation had rhyme... This one seemed to have hidden meaning throughout, but some lines were a mystery, while others seemed to point towards sex and the stages of life. Very interesting though. Thank you for sharing.

07.03.2011 - 08:53 Written by Guest on 20.02.2011 at 10:48 This was soooo funny it made me smile, and I really needed that. I hope you will post more funny poems here. It's like a breath of fresh air. Even though I love dark poetry and write much of it myself, its good to write something a bit lighthearted every once in a while. I wrote a few myself, though they are rare for me to write. Please post more soon!

Had forgotten about this one.. Running on a path to places unknown Fog before my eyes, rocks under my feet I stumble and I fall, and I just can't get up I can no longer breathe and my eyes are blinded Where is the Magic, gentle song in the air? Why is the Moonlight hidden behind the clouds? The Wind is blowing but I feel no caress In my hair wet with sweat, on my skin soaked in blood The fangs of the Past have bitten me deep Shadows of Tomorrow rising high above me Today is but a lie, just a sigh in the wind Pressure is on me, I can't find a way out LET ME OUT! Shine, o Light of my darkest hours Or may the Night hide those hideous shapes Shoulders not strong enough to carry the burden And my eyes are to weak to peer into the Mist Fingers crossed -- it's a lie, make-believe for the fools Someone please help me out, I'll take your hand, I'll get up I slow down my heartbeat, still suffocating I see the distant light and the river below A hand on my shoulder -- still trembling I stand up The monster has been slain, the fight is over 12/02/2011

09.03.2011 - 07:14 Written by akvan on 22.02.2011 at 15:39 Ah my computer has done it again. I don't know how to get it to stop. Anyways, This poem is so short and yet so profound in meaning. The last lines seal it, with such philosophical cleansing of reflection and a challenge to change... You wanted to see our adaptations, but I won't change much, just tweak it a little... Ok here's your lyrics with my slight changes, see what you think.... "Darkness Forever" You're still fighting How come? You're still suffering Wherefore? You're still militating For what? You're still waiting For whom? At last The darkness will surround you You're spent from the struggle Embrace your loneliness It will remain with you Forever Now open your eyes again And you'll see - it, too, has passed You should write more. You seem to have a very deep thought pattern going on inside... It would be interesting to see what other thoughts you have bottled up in there. Raging Dreamer
