Enyo Report post Posted September 16, 2006 This is the poetry corner where you can share your copyrighted originals or poetry of others but make sure you give the author proper credit.. meaning don't post something claiming that its yours when it isn't because thats called plagerism and its not cool. I'm going to start this off with an exerpt of a song of mine and yes feel free to include your original lyrics too because after all its still poetry as is rap, etc etc etc.... all poetry is accepted here as long as it doesn't violate the forum rules so please make sure you read up on the forum rules BEFORE posting. Thank you. "Protected" Sometimes through our pain, we find a reason To start living, even though the love has stopped. Choosing to see the good keeps us sane inside.... Makes us strong to keep the memories alive. So when the ghosts return, they are friendly.... Not to haunt........ but to remind us of who we are. © 2006 ~Vryl~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beorn Report post Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) I have been thinking about starting a poetry thread too. Good idea. Here is one of mine. "Untitled Poem" Sunset on the horizon, Darkness invades my sight. I lie here on the bed, To waste away the night. Pills don't help me sleep, But at least they numb the pain. I sold my soul to the Devil, And now I feel ashamed. I coughed up my redemption, And pumped my stomach clear. To make room for all the emptiness, That I have found down here. Darkness comes to light, Daytime fades to night, But I still can't see, The things that will never be. Edited September 16, 2006 by Beorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enyo Report post Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) pepper, honestly there is no good or bad here but rather a poetic expression of thoughts, emotions or feelings so for me personally its all good and a matter of taste. I appreciate it all. Seriously speaking, I like your poem allot. I encourage you to continue writing. Edit: Bravo to all who post their originals here but we can also post some fav poetry, whether it be classics or not here too as long as we give the author proper credit. Yes we can post our own original lyrics, too. Edited September 16, 2006 by Enyo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beorn Report post Posted September 16, 2006 (edited) Most of my poems turn into the songs that I write for my band. We played a huge thing yesterday, can't really go into details because some of it is kindof not appropriate for the forums. "A Painful Memory" It's been a long time now, But I remember it like yesterday. Time and again I try to forget, But the memories won't fade away. They bring back the times we shared, And I relive the moments again. Silient tears roll down my cheeks, To wash away the pain. Sometimes I wish I'd told you, Sometimes I wish I'd tried. You never knew I loved you, And now the fire's died I tried to do the right thing, Thats the way I've always been. I saw a better future for you, And some how I didn't fit in. And now you're gone forever, A painful memory. You're just an aching dream I had, That still lives inside of me. "Everthing" Sometimes my irrational decisions of ignorance, Lead me to places I don't want to be, Thinking of you and what you might think of me. Two wise men once said, That there guitars gently wept, For the ones they loved. Mine has cried all it can, And now it bleeds with me, Hoping you can forgive my sins. I have nothing to gain from this, But I have everything to lose, And everything is you. So please take me in, And hold me once again. All I want is your touch. All I need is your love. So please give me everything, That I once took for granted. Never again will I hurt you. Never again will I throw everything away, And be left with nothing...... "Mirror" When I look into the mirror My reflection is all I see Just a flat surface with no emotion Looking back at me Where once there was an illusion That made the tension flare Now it's weakened and distant Just me on the surface there Tales of stolen moments along a crisp, water's edge Dappled sunlight beneath the broad branched trees I still envision the smile that I don't think I'll ever see Oh, what could have been Could have been magic that blistered the sun Could have built a bridge to Heaven But it's all gone, all gone So the dreams that lived inside my head The ones that I'd shared with you Became the words of a fairytale And you know those don't come true Edited September 16, 2006 by Beorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enyo Report post Posted September 17, 2006 Yes Beorn you are definately a songwriter for sure. I like "Painful Memory" and "Mirror" best. I like all three but these two are fabulous.. for me anyway. Goodluck with your writing and also music. Stay true to you and try to not let fame bring you down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jezebelle Report post Posted September 17, 2006 well..since this is not EL related..I might as well share some of mine as well.. This is actualy a song I wrote ..not recorded yet tho.. Mama Sitting at the window of my childhood long ago Wond’ring just how quickly things can change It seems it was just yesterday My mama called my name “Supper’s ready, come on home” that’s what’s she used to say (chorus) And there has never been a single time My mama let me down She stood by me whatever I had done The broken glass, the angry neighbours And all the fights in town There has never been a single time My mama let me down Gazing at a picture of my mom and dad and me The memory of the first time on that stage It feels it was just yesterday That mama called my name “You can do it, if you want” That’s what she used to say (chorus) And there has never been a single time My mama let me down She stood by me whatever I had done The broken glass, the angry neighbours And all the fights in town There has never been a single time My mama let me down Looking at a child outside, a boy who looks like me The way he smiles reminds me of her face It seems it was just yesterday My mama called my name “I love you son, no matter what” That’s what she used to say (chorus) And there has never been a single time My mama let me down She stood by me whatever I had done The broken glass, the angry neighbours And all the fights in town There has never been a single time My mama let me down I wish my son to grow up strong, surrounded by our love The way it feels, when mama holds me tight And I wish it was just yesterday His grandma called my name “Be good, be strong, just like your dad” that’s what she used to say Oh mama, she believes in me And she’s in my heart to stay…..

desdamona Report post Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Oasis - Mucky Fingers Lyrics I know you think you deserve an explanation on the meaning of life But what you think that you heard slipped away at the back of your mind You get your mucky fingers burnt You get your truth or your lies you have learnt And all your plastic believers they leave us and they won't return Walk on And when you look in the mirror and your tying all your buttons and bows And as you face your disease you can squeeze into the emperor's clothes You found your gun in a paperbag You get your history from the union jack And all your brothers and sisters have gone and they wont come back Failed the life in the city All the fonies that roam at night When I've gone yeah you look like you missed me So come along with me, don't ask why It's alright It's alright It's alright It's alright Edited September 18, 2006 by desdamona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CharlotteS Report post Posted September 18, 2006 I have many such songs, for instance "Song to the Siren" by This Mortal Coil. It's beautiful and it's the type of a song perfect for masochists - when u have a bad day this song makes you more sad and depressed hehe... It is also a soundtrack in one of my fav movies - "Lost Highway". I recommend it also. On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes. And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you." Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was full sail? Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks. For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow." Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow. I'm as puzzled as a newborn child. I'm as riddled as the tide. Should I stand amid the breakers? Or shall I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you." "Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

Eublepharis Report post Posted September 18, 2006 "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen Steve walks warily down the street, With the brim pulled way down low Aint no sound but the sound of his feet, Machine guns ready to go Are you ready, are you ready for this Are you hanging on the edge of your seat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust And another one gone, and another one gone Another one bites the dust Hey, Im gonna get you too Another one bites the dust How do you think Im going to get along, Without you, when youre gone You took me for everything that I had, And kicked me out on my own Are you happy, are you satisfied How long can you stand the heat Out of the doorway the bullets rip To the sound of the beat Chorus Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust Another one bites the dust There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man And bring him to the ground You can beat him You can cheat him You can treat him bad and leave him When hes down But Im ready, yes Im ready for you Im standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip Repeating the sound of the beat Well, this lyrics have been largely misunderstood. I think they are a farewell to all of those "talented" musicians we knew, who have 'bit the dust' and “kicked us out on our own” to play EL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enyo Report post Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Since this thread is about both lyrics and poetry as originally stated in the intro its been great seeing some of your lyrics so I've decided to share a few more of my original lyrics. These lyrics are from a song I wrote called "Evoke" About "Evoke": Inspiration often comes to me in obscure places and at strange unexpected moments..I don't question it. I embrace it. I was sitting on the toilet in a dark and cold bathroom thinking about this unknown person.. a figment of my imagination.. then this melody and words.. along with this image of myself torn between time on some empty, dark and foggy cobblestone street in France...eyes closed, feeling the moment, I began to sing what is now known as the first verse... a song was born. Originally the song was inspired by an illusion.. but then it become more as I went deeper for the words. It became about my life.. my fears.. failures.. truths.. etc. The “Evoke” part of the song was almost like a spell to evoke this digital, holographic unrealtity into reality.. to bring this apparition.. this ghost.. this person into existance.. into my world..that was powerful. "Evoke" I'm falling to a place inside my soul Its lonely.. far from your heart I'm searching through the remnants of my mind Bridge: Its cold outside... Its dark inside... ’Im bleeding I’m broken.. imprisoned by my fears Forsaken.. lost somewhere in tears I’m dying... haunted by the years Bridge: Its cold outside... Its dark inside... I’m bleeding I’m guilty.. drowning in my sin I’m blinded... unable to see the light My sorrow.... enslaves me to the night Bridge: Its cold outside... Its dark inside... I’m bleeding I evoke you... I evoke you into my heart I evoke you... I evoke you into my dreams I evoke you... I evoke you into my life.. my heart... my mind... my soul.. (© 2005) EDIT: typos..

Arnieman Report post Posted September 18, 2006 This is a poem I wrote awhile back, and left on my comp awhile... guess it can see the light of day now. What does it accomplish, To tell someone to forget the pain To tell someone the hurt is all in their mind, That it'll be gone if they forget about it? So my life is the pain I feel - Let me step out of it for a day or two; Let me be nobody, and when I come back, Has my problem gone anywhere? Leave a rotting carcass in front of your house Or never wash the dishes Or never take out the trash Or never pick up what you drop Or never eat again when you are hungry: Do all this, and say you forgot to do any of them. Tell me, did it just stop being necessary? Or was it still there when you came back? Reality: It cannot be forgotten: It will haunt you with the undone chore, The uneaten meal, or the unresolved issue. (Actually, I was doubtful for a long time if I wrote it, because it's not my usual style - I was trying some free verse, instead of tying myself to a specific pattern like I've always liked to...) Maybe later I will post others I wrote that were published. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
