Shadow has been a bit busy with writing poems today. She was bored in Spanish and Geometry so she wrote these.
I'll post my other stuff here if people happen to comment. c:
CRITIQUE THEM PLEASE. I WILL NOT GET OFFENDED. XD

heat

A kindling fire
of pa.ssion's desire
crackles and burns
to devour all words
Soft silent night
swept away by its plight
As love hangs strong on a wire

the bog

through the fog
that shrouds the water
we see our paths
unfold as we step
but only if you walk
through the bog

fate

Flip a coin
it lands on tail
Flip again
it lands on head
some say it be luck
but I know no such thing
as I know there
is only
fate

Pa.ssing

We twist
We turn
We sing in rhyme
but one thing's for certain
there is not enough time

We dance
We laugh
We live all we can
but one always knows
that it comes to an end

We lived
We shined
We have finally achieved
but when that's all we have left
It is time for our leave

Other Poems of Mine

Forgotten Dove

 

Stars, they shine bright
On a dove in peaceful flight 

Hush, the whispers travel
As fate begins to unravel 

Churn, do the tides of war
As they turn into a roar 

Sighs, the children begin to cry
But only they will not be shy 

Again, evil lurks the streets
As cold as ice beneath their feet 

Flee, as the darkness reaps
And the clouds begin to weep 

Rain, a mirror of tears
Falling from those who sing for their dear 

Hate, these hearts have become filled
Because of those who hurt for thrill 

United, we must stand together
And cast away this darkened weather 

Then once again, may the starlight sing
And the dove will fly on peaceful wing

Inspiration ~ Nothing much. This was an a.ssignment for school which is why there's personification, a simile, and er...something else I didn't like in there. ^^;

ript', 'sans-serif'">Though I am a Montague

ript', 'sans-serif'">Our love will shine

Inspiration ~ We were reading Romeo and Juliet in cla.ss and also watching the Leonardo DiCaprio (love) so this kinda flew out of my pencil. <3

Haiku Collection

Sweet and gentle breeze

Carrying the song-birds ring

Symphony of peace

 

Pa.ssing winds swirl by

Bringing forth warm summer’s breeze

Swaying the soft ferns

 

Strip full of color

Painting the sky with soft hues

Bringing forth new hope

 

A silent forest

Broken by the untamed howl

Wolves cry to the moon

 

Wind beneath my wings

Light feathers drift through the sky

Escape to freedom

               

                Gently falling snow

                One snowflake like no other

                Blanketing the earth

For You

Slowly losing my way
But have nowhere to run
Try to make it through the day
But you've stolen my sun
Now every time I see the moon
All I think about is you.

 

Inspiration ~ Last night while I was chatting with someone special...and he hates poetry. xD

Silence

Tune of the soundless
But words nonetheless;
Soft touch
And gentle breath
Providing comfort to the soul
Bringing back what once was w.hole

Inspiration ~ it was really quiet and I was tired and then I felt a pen in my hand. Then I fell asleep and woke up to this without remembering the words I wrote. o_o

Finally finished it and I absolutely love this piece. <3

For you, I would

For you, I would run
Around the red, blistering sun
For us, I would fly
Into the darkened night sky
For love, I would be
All that you need

Every 20

Though they seem to stray

The stars will always stay

Though on this night

The moon is bright

Revealing its face to those who seek

The beauty left unmasked beneath

Inspiration ~ The moon was at its brightest last night and it will not be as bright for another twenty years. I wish I had written more, but I was too tired. <3

First Kiss

You can't ignore
those feelings
or
the flutter of your heart;
Your breath caught in your throat
or the way
he says
I love you
before the moment
when he leans in
and brushes
his lips
so softly
against yours

Remembrance

Marked upon my skin lay thee;
Where your arms enfolded me
Now all that's left is that memory
but it's one of many I still see

Forever and Always

I loved you once

I loved you then

Now, it seems our world did end

I cried out once

I cried out then

and everything fell through the thread

The bonds did break

Our silence grew

but still, my heart

belongs to you

Forgotten

Memories of another day

Alas, they begin to wither away

Only me is with they’ll stay

I wonder if you’ll forget me, too

And I’ll be alone remembering you

~

Memories of better days

Through your eyes

They’ve wilted away

Only me is with they’ll stay

And here I am forgotten, too

Now I’m alone remembering you

Inspiration ~ I was a bit depressed because a dear friend of mind was forgetting some memories that I thought were special between us. The last part because I'm afraid...you know. </3

Stitching

You’re slipping through my fingers,
I can feel it in my heart.
You’re slipping from my grasp
and I just can’t make it stop.

A gaping hole, it has become
and the threads continue to be

undone

I’ve stitched it up as best as I could,
but there’s no way that this
will work

without you.

Stranger in the wood

 

Soft is the murmur of leaves reveling
in the secrets passed
by the wind.

hushed is the ripple of stagnant water
broken only by the fall
of a leaf.

pity is the unspoken thought of the wood
as its blind gaze
finds you.

among the trees, you stand
in, but outside; a Stranger
a Stranger in the wood.

Inspiration ~ Went on a nature walk at Writing Camp. I was supposed to write a Haiku, but... ;-; My fingers didn't like the restraint.

... Wow... I wish I were this good... You have such a passion, such talent, everything you write is beautiful and soulful and amazing... it's like your pen touches the paper not with ink, but with spirit... Aain, amazing. Truly amazing.



Well now. I should... Probably put something intelligent here. At some point. Eventually.

Thanks, True. <3 I'm glad someone appreciates my poetry, probably moreso than I do myself.

There's a lot of emotion in these, which I think is getting harder to find these days. I don't know about you guys, but when I read poetry from my class (and mine as well) I get no vibe from them, no feeling. Great job and keep writing, derp. <3

Alsoooooo, guess who started writing again now that she's got two hours of free time every day? :DDDD

Wow, you must have spent ages writing these, I especially love the one about romeo and juliet, it's really sad (not that I like being sad!! It's just very well done, and the fact that it can effect my mood is great) Your a very inspiring poet!!!

--------------------------------------------------

P.S. please read my thread 'forever alone' not that it will compare to these!!!

*snuggles Det* I love chu. c:

Thanks, Spiked. <3 A lot of them took me a while to for me to actually like them. So many copies were thrown away for the Romeo and Juliet one. xD
