OUR ORIGINAL POETRY: Share It Here
Hello there everyone!
If you're reading this it means that you probably are quite fond of poetry and writing it to. This is a thread to post all and any poetry that you may have, be it happy, sad, angry or just silly. All styles are welcome (free verse, couplets, slam) and it would be great to have at least one poem up a day for all of us to enjoy together!!
To An-Jin
The beyond beckons like a cloud buoyed by hope
A silver lining between doubt and pain
The chase never fails to move me
As our destinies race towards the future
But today opened a yawning abyss
Threatening to alter the plan
Steep netherworld burying our dreams
Perhaps we forgot the time that passed
Under the glaring moon
A lifetime of our misgivings dim the flame
Something changed-
Loss gained the upper hand
Now the trail grows cold
All the roads can't lead me back
To An-Jin

I'm not much of a poet so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
One day
I won't be able to talk to you
We wont be able to hold hands like we do
With our fingers together and our thumbs rubbing each other
You won't be the one I can cry to on a bad day
I won't be able to rest my head on your shoulder when I'm tired
Or hear you heart beat as I lay on your chest and you run your fingers up and down my arm
One day
Your sweet smile will be gone
And the sound of your wonderful laugh will fade away
The smell of you will become faint
And the feeling of being loved, wanted, complete will all but vanish
One day
You'll want to move on with your life
And I will be forced to move on from you
But how can I forget the way you made me feel safe
You made me feel as if I could conquer the world
All the memories of a terrible past faded away when I was with you
Every nose cuddle made me feel loved
You were the reason I got up in the morning
The reason why I stopped being afraid
The only reason I could be my self
But one day
You'll be gone
The Shadow Boy
He was a shadow
Without any light
His colour was red
He was dark as the night
His paper heart had been shattered inside
Too many times,he was loosing the fight
His demons came near
He lost all his hope
But then he remembered
That he wasn't alone
You think you have me
Push and pull, I can never break
These days begin to blend again
The truth is in my dreams
I'm worthless in there
A decade later, tension is testing
Its twisted and pulled tight
Your power to possess my soul
Has me holding on to never
Trying not to breath, this time
My blood would be surrender
Shame that haunts my memory
Through these many battles
I wish to win this war
Tonight I bathe my body
To rid itself of lies
That you bestowed on me
When I was younger still.
Tonight I bathe my body
To break away the insecurities
You laid and laid
Till I cant breathe
While you stood still and smiled.
Tonight I bathe my body
To clean away the dirt
Which has accumulated
In the curves and curls.
A symbol of not caring
When I cared so much.
Tonight I bathe my body
so I dont feel your hand on my back
or the countless gestures you gave me
when you felt detached.
Tonight I bathe my body
Rubbing every inch
To rid itself of cells that existed once.
Tonight I bathe my body
To clean my mind and soul.
I will see your face in the mirror
Each day
No doubt there is in that
But darling the cage you built for me
In your pleasureful nights
Will have become my home
In the hours of this night.
So hurt me not
If I break away from
The prison of your delight.
Hard bristles run my teeth
But they cannot fill the gap
That has formed in my heart.
See, how deep you left your scar?
But worry not my darling
For I am not yours to keep.
The kisses you planted
And the hugs you gifted
Were all a facade
now I see
through your face
The truths that you pushed deep
For my 5 year old self to see.
They say its not abuse
If there are no signs
But darling tell me how do I
Show them my mind?
Tonight I bathe my body
So tomorrow I am new
Tonight I bathe my body
So tomorrow I am pure.

I'm running out of hugs, out of kisses
Yes, I don't understand you anymore
Or what it means to think positive of you.
But you got love,
At least you got it from me.
Can't you smell the morning coffee brewing?
Ah, love, my better half.
You already have it, but you're still searching.
Who's still here?
I'm running out of hugs, out of kisses.
I don't understand you anymore
Or what it means to think positive of you.
But you got love,
You got it from me.
You'll be less alone.

Raz, dva, tri!
The scent of fear-
my only sin.
The willows screech
I'm falling in.
Raz, dva, tri!
Fear is so near!
I start to spin.
And so I reach
but I can't win.
Raz, dva, tri!
I push, I bite,
I fight with him!
The willow cries,
my eyes go dim.
Raz, dva, tri!
Although I'm right
my chance is slim.
And as hope dies
my fate looks grim.
Raz, dva, tri!

just a feeling
I sat here waiting for you
All I want to is to touch you
Seeing your eyes melts my heart
Looking at your smile just
Drives me crazy make me
Weak at the knees
When I look into your eyes
I see your soul
Its smiling its dancing
Up a storm .your heart
Sounds happy but
Your arms seem to be missing
Someone to hold
Someone to give a
Little light to your in your heart .
