OK, um here are some of my poems:

Shackles

She wears her scars as shackles
The pale girl in the mirror
Burning skin a-crackle
She hold the knife so near
Spiderweb and gossamer
So delicate and fine
Just as strong as iron
She only needs those lines
To hold her as a jail cell would
To keep her as only shackles could
She used to be so full of joy
But now her soul is clouds and rain
So that the only things she knows
Are misery and pain

One More Victim

My footsteps tread
Where yours once did
Against a wall, I rest my head
I let my eyes take in the sights
Of Hunger
Fear
And Cold Dark Nights
You did draw
That aching breath
Shut tight your eyes
And pray for death
A painful life
You had to live
My sad remorse
All I can give
I shut my eyes
To all that''s lost
And victims of
The Holocaust

He's Had Enough

He told her
He loved her
She told him
She didn''t
He promised to
Hold her
She told him
Forget it
He gave her
The Moon and
The Stars and
The Rain
She gave him
Nothing but
Pain
He loved her
No matter
The spite in her voice
Still cared even when
She had made a clear choice
So many years later
When she learned to love
He finally decided that
He''d had enough

I'll post some more later, pleasepleasepleaseplease don't copy any of these, poetry doesn't come easy to me and I'm proud of the result when it's done, even if it's really really bad :D

That's beautiful! I could picture the images dancing in my head as clear as day. (litteraly dancing, I was previously watching some lyrical dance videos so...) Good job! Please please please continue it! ; -) APC says ARMY. You know Andy, there was an army in the Holocaust. Well, a bunch actually. XD

Oh no!  I realized I can't post any poems here because I want to publish a book of poetry sometime and they'd be up here for free!  But can I still critique other people's poems?  Alright, I'll post one that I don't want to get published.  Soon.

M'kay, I'mma have a cup of coffee (heh heh) and some peanut butter toast whilst (<-word of the day!) I put some more on...

Heartache (please don't copy!!! >( )

You’re not worth the tears
You’re not worth the pain
You’re not worth the kiss
When we make up again

I don’t need these scars
I don’t want this ache
Our smiles and our laughter
Have turned so opaque

A dance floor away
With her at your breast
You smirk at me there
I’ve an ache in my chest

You’re don’t have the reason
You’re not worth the rhyme
Just one more heartache
That won’t waste my time

Refusal (No copying!!! :D I mean it, though!)

I refuse
To throw away
My dreams
To watch
My life
Go up
In a cloud
Of cigarette
Smoke.

I refuse
To lose
My friends
My family
My self.

I will not
Shoot up
For a few
Brief moments
Of euphoria.

I will not
Drown
My sorrows
In alcohol.

I refuse
To lose
That girl
Who wanted
Success.

Won''t leave behind
The dancer
The artist
Or the writer.

I''m not going
To care
If I''m not
The coolest
Just because
I don''t
Like pot
Do crank
Or snort coke
Laugh at me
I won''t care

I don''t mind
If you push me
Because
I am stronger
I don''t need
Drugs.
I am the
Dancer
The Artist
The Writer
Who is strong enough
To say
No.

Reasons To Love (don't copy this, either...)

If you love me,
It should be for my
Twisted sense of humor
Compassion
Courage.
For my laugh
Optimism
Outgoing personality.

If you love me,
Don''t love me for my
Clothes
Friends
Makeup.
Don''t love me for my
Shoes
Money
Sense of Style.

So I say
Do away
With mirrors
Makeup
Fashionable Stores
Photoshopped models
Who give
Impossible standards.

I''ll lock up my makeup
Wear jeans and a t-shirt
Converse
and a smile

I think I've posted these on here before...please don't copy any of them, I know I'm paranoid but...I have a good reason, if you think about it :D

A poem that I just wrote a few minutes ago:

LIFE IS LIKE AN UNFINISHED BOOK

Maybe I'll never know the answer

I'll never know who's right or wrong.

I wish I could see into the future,

To see what will become

Of me, of the world.

But then the surprise would be gone,

There'd be nothing to look forward to

You'd know your fate, good or bad

Nothing to hope for, nothing to plan,

It just happens after you know what will be

Like an unfinished book,

The ending being told before it's closed.

If seeing into the future

Is what you'd wish to do

Onece you've done it,

The good of the wish comes undone

And the future, even good,

Has no happiness, no surprises;

Just knowing.

And sometimes to know is not what you want,

You want to finish your book surprised,

For life is like an unfinished book, 

Going places you'd never guess,

A new adventure to live.

Um, here's some more.... Copyrighted by Koffee!

Plus I'll have a caramel machiato (sp?) ((Who else loooovves these?!)) and a butterscotch brownie square :)

 Untitled

I am washing bloodstains
From the knees of my jeans
And remembering.
I am remembering
The walk on the beach
The canoe ride
That you coaxed me into
I am remembering plunging
Beneath the water
And re-emerging to see you
Smile at me
I am remembering
Racing you across the beach
I am remembering
The fall
Against the sea-scarred rocks
Went down fast
I am remembering
You carrying me
Back to the cabin
I am deciding
To leave the bloodstains
So that I won’t stop remembering.

Looking For Me 

I don’t know
How long I stood
But somehow it was wrong
That street corner
Where I stood
Looking for you
Looking for me

Rain-splattered
Mud-smeared
Tear-stained
Wishing
On the stars overhead

Hoping
When my watch reads 11:11
That from the shadows
You will come
You don’t.
So I stand
Looking for you
Looking for me

I thought, in your eyes
I could see myself
My soul
But that was wrong
Don’t you see?
I was looking for you
Because I was looking for me

Sorry if I've posted any of these before...i'd love criticism *smiles hopefully*

Koffee, you write beautiful poems. We love them. I just deleted the first one because some of the situation was not appropriate for all our readers.
