Poetry Corner

Recommended Posts

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.

I have been thinking about starting a poetry thread too. Good idea. :blink:

 

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.

I cant find what im looking for

I feel ill be searching for forever more

Until i find my lost possession

I shall feel anger with huge agression

 

This thing is important to me

Like honey to a bumblebee

Im lost without it but with it im found

I wouldnt sell it for 5 million pound

 

Alas i have found it

Or has it found me?

For the thing that i'd lost

Shall remain a mystery

 

sorry if it's bad but;

 

1)i'm 13

2)i just did it on the spot

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.

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

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…..

These can be your own lyrics or someone you know or maybe lyrics from a band or artist you love,just add why they mean so much to you

 

Life is precious

 

Yeh! i know its burning down now

People fall like the greenery

Its not even autumn any how

Such a dramatic altered scenery

 

Seems its far too late to pacify

Its beyond my wildest reaches

To stand in contempt and testify

What my life always preaches

 

Me and you can change the earth

If we felt it held some worth

 

Shine, and let them see you

Cry, its only life and

Time, it ain't on our side

Smile, make them see it

Climb, cause we can reach it

Lifes is precious don't waste time

 

Yeh! i carve your name on my arm

Such a teenage contradiction

How very fickle their lives are

But i feel no restriction

 

Me and you can change the earth

If we felt it held some worth

 

Shine, don't let them see you

Cry, its only life and

Time, it ain't on our side

Smile, make them see it

Climb, cause we can reach it

Life is precious don't waste my time

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

 

Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing

Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring

and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high

So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try

Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill

Time is passing I'm asking could this be real

Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still

The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal

 

I can feel too much is never enough

You're always there to lift me up

When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found

Ever since you've been around

You're the women that I want

So yo, I'm putting it down.

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message

to show me life is precious

Then I guess it's true

But to tell truth, I really never knew

T'll I met you... See I was lost and confused

Twisted and used up

Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it

 

My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child

Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files

So yo. what' s happening now?

I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds

and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.

 

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me

The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me

Whatever tickles your fancy

Girl it's you like Sid and Nancy

So sexy....almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head

I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read but

you made me feel alive when I was almost dead

 

You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase

and as far as I can see it don't get better than this

So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss

and a thank you miss.

 

come and dance with me

come and dance with me

come and dance with me

so come and dance with me

uhhhhh ha uhhh ha

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

 

Come my lady

Come come my lady

you're my butterfly

Sugar.baby

come my lady you're my

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

you make me go crazy

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

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. :P

 

 

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."

"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 :)

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..

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.
