haha poetry is fun
i dont like this one though
(Untitled)~
ruins, dusty, dead and cold
wandering, lost, so alone
what happened here, what caused
my world to come crashing
oh, help, i think im falling
broken cities, empty hearts
where have you gone, my love
what happened here, what caused
my world to come crashing
oh, help, i think im falling
and darkness lifts, you come and say
but we can build it up again,
we can pick it up again
i will help heal your heart, my love
the ending sucks oigeduiegf

While I'll admit the ending is a tad sappy, it's sometimes nice to balance out the darker tones from the beginning and end on a softer note. I think this is intriguing, especially the first stanza!

When the sky bleeds gold and stains the sea,
When the land is painted with cloud-pearl dust,
When the rivers turn an emerald sheen,
'Tis then I'll know to do that which I must.

Rain falling,
Artistry in it’s methodical melencholy.
In creeps the sun,
Now a curve of color fills the sky.
But with the drip-dropping of sadness remaining,
Opening the memory of
Water falling, the weeping of the sky.

i wonder what lies in the space between
pen and paper
the words and thoughts that
fill the gap of
what is said
and what somone truly wanted to say.

Wow, this is really cool, Luna-starr! Personally, I just really like the pondering feel that can sort of come of as both sad but also just curious.

Depression is like a flame:
I can grab onto some driftwood and escape,
But only for a short while, and by then it's too late;
Spiralling down again, burning away the effectiveness
of anything that used to bring me happiness;
What's left now? Even when I know I should feel warmth
from the blaze, there's nothing left but my own cold, empty gaze.
The only thing I seem to gain, is a torch that exposes yet more pain,
Things that others would never see, by that wretched flame are illuminated for me;
Each day knowing that the inferno will consume
all my oxygen, eat away at me day after day, yet again,
Which is why, at least
for me,
I say:
Depression is like a flame.

I'm sad to say that I can totally relate to this. :(

For some reason, she--
Bella-- has cryptically said
These words: Vu I am.

Fun fact: this poem was inspired by a New Yorker cover and something my grandpa said.
One with the surf~
At the place
Where land meets thrashing
Sea,
Where humans come
To be thrilled
By the unimaginably great
Ocean.
(We believe we rule all, yet
The Earth
Is more than 70 percent
Water.)
That girl
Who is racing through
White foam
And the ever-moving tide
Yes, she is one
With the surf.

I made some small edits to the last poem; it didn't seem to flow quite well, bit I'll post that later. I was to lazy to type this next one up so here's a picture.

it remains Untitled,
nameless
amongst the thousands of words that make up
the titles of others.
so what shall i
call it,
how to address it,
when the time comes to
speak of it?
so many millions of
words,
of ideas
and yet
it remains
Untitled

Haha, that's really meta, I like it!

Thanks!

Eee I'm starting to like poetry, I never thought I was a poet, and I still don't know if my poems are good but I really like making them! Critque welcomed!!
Darkness
Inky black
I close my eyes
I open them
The dark is the same
The dark is still dark
I can’t see.
I can’t see my own hands in front of me
When I reach out,
Hoping to grasp something,
My arms fall
Back to my side
Is the darkness
Black and empty?
This I know,
This I know with all my reasoning
Yet I start walking forward
Breaking into a run
But...
If I run forever
I will still never know
If there is anything other than
Inky black
And when I close my eyes
And when I open them
I still can’t see.
