Poetry...
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: NightMage
Like it or dislike there's poetry out there, now is the time to find out if there are any poets out there amongst us. Oh and only creative criticism allowed... lol
I'll start it off 
Intermission:
What is life
But an intermission
Between birth and death
We all go through it
Playing our parts
Like actors in a play
We look back
At our performance
And shake our heads
I tear my hair out
Just to see it
To feel the pain
What is the use
Of all this
When I'd rather be asleep
I look into my future
And all I see
Is a coffin for me

Nice Haiku Wenchy
Here's one of mine:
Ever changing time
The pheonix rises from ash
Birth, life, death, rebirth.
Are limericks allowed?
There once was a man from Nantuckett....

can it be in another language? 
bfwot! ay diyusku, ako'y napautot
silid ay umalinsangan at biglang bumantot
pinagdasal na lang na walang kasamang pururot
ang amoy na singbaho ng panis na balot...

It's Nothing
Memories are so strange.
Sometimes,
they just take us away
without the slightest warning
Something,
Just grabs the mind, and
like someone just switched the channel
during the mundane movie
of our lives.
Something
shows us a glimpse of some rerun.
And we watch for a while
And say; "I've seen this before."
But why am I here again?
"Turn the movie back on."
My question is who is holding the remote?
"Something changed the channel"
What changed it then?
Random chance?
Predestined fate?
Karma?
"Something happened."
Or did It simply
"Pop"
Out of nothing.
Some things come from nothing.
The lawnmower
The bulldog uses
to shave the cat
in the cartoon I'm watching
From nothing.
The startled duck bursts
from nothing: Drags its feet in the water
doubles is gaze
suddenly, where there was nothing
there's a lawnmower
In the next scene the cat is not shaved
its hair is not shaved
its hair has returned spontaneously
a big naked bone which then
is a stick of dynamite which explodes the dogs head
And from nothing
In the next scene the dogs head
is a dogs head again.
And from the mirror
across the room
I see myself
"Christ"
that's where I came from.
From Nothing.
On the other hand
you ask some one
"What's going on?"
And they will answer
"Nothing"
What does that mean?
Is their "nothing"
different from mine?
Or is nothing,
Universally the same?
If you ask me
"What's that... thing, in your hand?"
And I say:"Uh...Nothing"
Am I insinuating;
I have " Nothing by the balls."
"What did he mean by that?"
Oh,nothing.
You might say,
This is a whole lot of talk about
Nothing.
We could address
something
but that's a completely different subject.
Trust me
I could go on,
and on about
Something
Is more interesting than
Nothing.
So I sit down and write this
on my computer
Something, suddenly
from Nothing.

Turnabout
Get lost, she said
She did not have to give such good advice
twice.
I left.
or, I got lost
what light!
Until I wasn't anywhere
I didn't know where I was.
I came back
And said, here I am.
Who are you?
She asked
I don't know anymore,
I sighed.
Good, she said,
Then come inside
Inside it was
wide and weird
she clung and whispered
what shall I do?
Disappear,
I did not have to give such good advice
twice.
Goodbye! She Shouted.
And Drew near.

Mem is on a roll...
Mem is on a roll...
Can I have a tootsie roll...
In a bowl?
Sorry I can't help but be facetious in a "free poetry" thread when poetry for me should be anything but free. :P But we'll leave that argument to a different thread.

War Captive
As I sit in this well, I am in pain,
It is hell
They pull me out every morning to beat
Me for no reason except to unleash their anger
About the war.
As I think of how I got here I shudder.
It was war that got me here useless war.
My friends betrayed me. hunted by my enemies
Its madness or maybe I'm mad,
The only comfort I have is the voice, It talks to me, comforts me.
Even in the void I can still fill the pain, the pain.
I know help is coming but I don’t think I will be here.
They are taking me to a concentration camp tomorrow.
There I will surly die.
But if I do will the pain end.

The Promise
As I sit upon this crate
I survey all the damage and the destruction
done because of me. I see all the dead
Some my eyes Passover, some they can’t.
Like the women. 125 dead because of a promise I made,
dead because I could do nothing.
Their faces are engraved in my memories.
Their screams engraved in my soul.
But I must go on,
I must be strong,
I must be hard
Because in this war you can be nothing else.
Love hopelessly bound by friendship,
And aching with desire.
Longing for her gentle kiss,
That would set my heart on fire.
Gamble with this friendship,
You would never dare.
But still this thought I wonder,
How much does she really care?
To confess love or stay silent,
The choice solely mine.
But what most will I regret in life,
Humility or unopened hearts?

Cool Mem and Demon, they are excellent here's some more of mine
A Fleeting Moment
The Warrior takes up the Sword for peace
The Hunter takes up the Bow and Arrow for food
The King takes the Throne to rule
The Wizard takes up the Staff for wisdom
The Humble Man takes up Love for life
The Fiend takes up Hate for death
I am all but none of these,
I am immortal but mortal,
I am dead but alive,
Eternity is but a fleeting moment.
The Guitarist takes up the Guitar for rythym
The Drummer takes up the Drums for beat
The Bassist takes up the Bass for depth
The Lead Singer takes up Drugs to get high
The Teenager is takes up the Music to escape
The Parents forget their own Teen Years
I am all but none of these,
I am immortal but mortal,
I am dead but alive,
Eternity is but a fleeting moment.
We all have a mission in life
We all distrust what we don't know
We all love what we hate
But nothing lasts but for a fleeting moment.
DreamWorld
As I go to sleep
I enter my world
Full of magic and love
And beings of power
The skys are filled
With the bodies of
Angels, Dragons and Griffon
And their merry tune
This is my land
I am the King
Who once was
a warrior so pure
By my side she stands
The princess true of heart
We both look over the land
Hand in hand
In the oceans frollicking
Are mermaids and mermen
Sea-dragons and nymphs
Enjoying the sunlight
I look at the sun
And I sigh for here
My dream must end
And reality return
Prayer
I pray for a day
When all humanity
Can love one another
And peace destroys war
I pray for a new beginning
For our children
Who shall take up the plough
And wander in our footsteps
I pray for a God
Who will care
And won't judge me
For who I am
I pray for an escape
From this world of hate
And suffering of men and women
This is my prayer
Amen
The Astronomer
Star of night
Shining bright
What secrets do you hold
For me and for all
Will you yield them
To me your son?
Or will you keep
Them hidden away?
your brilliance shines
Upon my face
Looking into the heavens
As i ponder
Do you hold life
Or allow life to grow
Are you barren
And destroy life
I do not know
But wish to know
So that futures children
May survive.
Enjoy If I could find it I'd post one of my earliest ones but I somehow managed to lose it.
