contempt is but a second-hand hatred
for what is the greatest thing to have been seen
inasmuch as the earth's beginning
Sun sets, night stars twinkle
It was never for me to choose
Life, to be lived by you
You crept into my window
last night
and made my dark room
infinitely darker
I've already posted this poem but I think it needs to be here :P lol enjoy
I sit alone while the world sleeps In pure and blissful slumber
Their eyes closed and lashes to cheeks they dream with out a number
I sit alone while the world sleeps the night skies I am under
From my walls the shadow creeps while in fear I wonder
A Criticism of Society's Piety for War
What is a scream but a blue-eyed mercy
in a whisper a fortnight from now?
fifteen thousand years in the future,
a minstrel will sing it to you,
and you will sob for the millions left in rubble
My first attempt at writing something "optimistic"...
Butterflies in my stomach,
For the first time, I'm at a loss of words.
My words stutter and I stand,
As still as I shudder.
Nevertheless, my mind seems to possess a mind of it's own,
It is conjuring up things I've never witnessed before.
A sweet mellow wind,
Blowing across a lush meadow;
The grass swaying gently,
Creating a rhythm of it's own.
I hear the stream bickering,
The gigantic tress rustling,
Why is everything asudden,
So calm and undulating?
It's hard to believe that this is the same mind that once before,
Thought of terrible things and pushed me head first onto the ground.
Am I starting to feel hopeful now?
These reflexes seem so unknown.
Whatever may be the reason,
Of this sudden uproar?
I'm still dumbstruck, slack, facing this boy whom I adore,
He's starting into my eyes as though he is connected to my soul.
A look of such predilection in both of our eyes,
I am lost in the spur of the moment,
Before I can get the picture of the time.
A strange sensation on my lips,
I feel as we lean in;
Goosebumps on my skin as I syncopate my body with his;
We seem to be melting in sync.
Maybe this is what it feels like,
To fall in love and dance paradise.
The monsters wouldn't dare to face me now,
There's a hero by my side.
He made me realise that I'm the protagonist of my life.

Bathe me in your sinful bliss
The way my hands run cold
And how water flows out of my eyes
People would ask me why
And with a glance
Mixed with bloody eyes and runny noses
I laugh and laugh and laugh.
Bathe me in your sorrowful womb
Where thoughts are heavy
And my body is heavy as well.
When the tears run dry
Yet I still cry,
Will you bathe me in that sinful sorrow?
Correct me, if I'm wrong
When the will to live has died
And my soul has cried enough,
Won't you take me to bed tonight?
And in that bed
Tuck me to sleep,
Shut my eyes
And leave me in peace.
So later I may bathe in my sins
Darling, I adore you
Think of you everyday
Darling, you are perfect
In every single way
Darling, I could never
Describe it just with words
But Darling, I am trying
Even though it hurts
Darling, it breaks my heart a little
But I will be alright
Darling, I can be a shadow
As long as you're my light
Darling, you'll never find a love
Which is purer than mine
Darling, I could be the moonlight
If you'd be my sunshine
But for me, Darling, all of this
Is merely just a dream
Darling, keep in mind
Things are never the way they seem
@Andyken simply beautiful
//Couldn't focus on my work, so I did a little freewrite just to let loose, then decided to touch it up a bit. I don't write much, but here goes. Hopefully your thoughts wander like mine did : P //
------
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if
the words in my head, dancing on hot coals
frantically screaming insanity in my ears
filling my waking dreams
my walking dreams, my talking dreams
my cyclical conversations, the ebb and flow
of my static salutations, kept on hold
by the changing tide, the moon rises
to grip the current of events,
drown my sorrows in the glass phrasings
of hollow confirmations of my safety, my loss,
as the spinning earth revolves around my head.
Hells been howling on my mental.
These filial fluctuations robbed my mind
of my space in time, the end rushes
to meet me, my brain gushes
a stream of thoughts unmitigated
a torrent communicated, critically proliferated.
Staccato cracks the crisis.
Damming the flow, the wound appears to heal
catharsis cauterized, I still hide what I feel.
And I wander.
@readyinfive
This was really beautifully written. It is very deep and expressive and captures a lot of aspects to a wandering mind. I enjoyed it a lot. :)

Shattered Dreams
Dreams were the enemy
Because they looked for finality
In a world where uncertainty survived.
In a reality where time needed to meld into
Daysmonthsyears
Dreams lengthened the minutes
drawing the notch ever tighter
The dreams supressed
became our legacy
thus I became a child of expectation
Presaged and impendent
who fled these dreams
fearing to disappoint
But dreams return, on wings of anticipation,
to shatter ever stronger.
