Don't Say I love You
I've been burned so much
My heart's seared closed
Don't touch it

Your tender touch
Your sweet smile
Your gentle eyes

My heart has been burnt so often
It's door would no longer open
But you coaxed gently
Patient as eternity
Opening my heart's door

I can't stand to be near you
But it's worse to be away

Don't say 'I love you'
It hurts so much to hear those words
They're a sword
Slicing at my tender heart

I want to say 'I love you'
But the past haunts me
Constant warning in my mind

I'm not ready to take the chance again
I'm not sure of anything any more.

Just please...
Please don't say 'I love you'

Dark Angel
In the deep of the Night
The Dark Angel will come
To give his Kiss of Death
So sweet
To feel my life swept into his lips
I am flying even as I fall
My soul does fly
As my body falls
And last memory
Is of those Ice Blue eyes
Staring into my not yet flown soul
Stealing a piece of it to keep
Forever with Him

Demon Angel

I only look sweet and innocent
But I have a secret
You have to get close to find out
By then it’ll be too late for you

When it’s real late
And everything is dark
I’ll climb into your room
And make you mine

:I’m the Demon Angel
I can make you love me
When I’m done with you
You’ll be dead

I walk the streets at night
Looking for my next victim
Watch out for the innocent looking girl
With that seductive smile

Oh… How you’ll beg for my kisses
You’ll love the sweet pain they bring
When you beg me to let you go
I’ll release you into the arms of Heaven or Hell

:I’m the Demon Angel
I can make you love me
When I’m done with you
You’ll be dead

I really like it.... I write most of the songs for my band, and a lot of have to do with false love and such. I'd share some of mine with you now, but I'm in a huge rush!! Maybe later on tonight when I get back.... Very nice poem. Post more if you have 'em.

That's not too bad. I like your style.

I really liked:
"I’m the Demon Angel
I can make you love me
When I’m done with you
You’ll be dead"

Nice choice of words ;)

hey some good work there, look forward to seeing more

The Tier
My world was dead and gray.
Lifeless as winter, and dark like the deepest cave recesses.
And then a song came
Crashing though the darkness
A sweet beacon.
Sending light
Offering hope
Promising love.
I traversed many a wandering wayward path
To find this Beacon's source.
Down to the ocean my path did lead
And a voice crooned softly
"Slough your sorrows and pain in the Waters of Life and Embrace the Light of Love."
I dropped into the waters
Icy cold and wamr at once
The tide ever-changing.
I rose to find the light.
I followed a path up from the sea
To a fair Ivory Tier it laid rest.
The door was open and I entered
I climbed many stairs
Nevber bothering to count them
Always searching for the Beacon.
To the top I climbed
And there was surrounded by light.
On the balcony of the Beacon stood a man.
His arms opened to me and I was enfolded in them and in Love.
That man was you.
The Tier, Part 2
With the dawn slowly rising
The clouds turn pink-red
Lovebirds trilling their song.
Two Lovers sigh
Gazing into each other's eyes.
She takes his hand
And leads him down the steps of the Tier
To that worn out path to the ocean.
Together they launch a boat into the Ocean of Life
Together to brave the rapids and chance the temptests.
They knew beyond a shadow of a doubt
Love would help them make it through the stormiest of seas.

Unnamed
Hold the golden chalice
Beneath an ivory wrist
Flesh bite with silver knife
Everything's come down to this
Crimson addiction will flow
Heart's beat drowns out words
Warm scent sweet
Taste destroying logical thought
Sweet elixer of life
Everything's come down to this

Going Under
I can feel it coming again
It's coming, the monster in my head
Everything's spinning, swimming in and out
When's it gonna attack?
How's it gonna come this time?
Will I survive this time?
Last time was so close...
I almost lost...
I can feel the tentacles grasp my legs
I'm kicking, fighting
Can't anybody hear me?
Oh God! It's got me!
I can't get loose
There's a sudden movement, a quick tap
I can't move, can't even scream
Now I feel it, we're going under
The water closes over my head
Oh! Look how the light shimmers!
Suddenly a shaft of light, a hand
Fingers touch
The monster lets go...
I can move again
Up! Up to the surface
Bursting through
Sweet air and sudden sunlight glare
A glimps of a glowing form
A sudden, blinding light
Fading conciousness
Movement, tip of a wing
A glance, nothing's there
An angel? Maybe...
:angel: For my best friend.

i like ur poems

keep writting :banana00:

*invites u to her thread*

The Tier part 1 was excellent, the entire time I felt as though I was walking along with you down the stairs and whatnot. Very nice.

:yinyang: No Name
I am the Rose Warrior
No soft girl
A boyfriend never stands on mutual ground
You better be cool
I'm red hot bronze
Mess with me
You'll be sorry
I'm like nothing you've ever seen before
I'm your worst nightmare come true
I'll give you my number
And show you I'm not human

Thanks to Illegal Vortex, GarequeDeSavoir, JadeOrchid, and _Schisima_ for your replies.

:sadangel:Belong
I have longed to belong for so long
So that when it was offered
I rejected it
Thinking it a tool to hurt me
To be offered it and then have it stolen back
How I would delight in being with you
How I would enjoy lingering in your company
To belong to such as you daylight creatures
You angels of joy and merriment
Yet I refused your offer of frienship
And in these twilight hours
Oh how I regret it
How I wish I could join you
I find no solace in my printed words
Nor in creating the webs of delight
That once lit my world
I am ensnared in my foolishness
And am bound to it
As a host is bound to a parasite
Oh regret
How sweetly bitter are the tears it brings
How delightfully tormenting the agony
The knowledge that I did this to myself.

I merged your poetry thread for you, from the other thread. :) Good stuff!

You Say...
You say I'm beautiful
You say you love me
Do you really mean it?
Or is it just to make me melt?
Please love me
Oh so tender
Because I think...
I might love you.

:kiss: Kiss Me
I'm begging to be for a kiss
With my lips so soft and juicy red
Reminding you of a berry

This night's been so nice
The air is warm, sunset so beautiful
We're still two blocks from my front pourch.

You took me out dancing
We went to the movies, and let me choose a tearjerker, chick flick
Our shoes are sticky with theater floor candy.

I did my hair up so nice and my make up just right
I wanted to look good for you tonight
I wanted to get a kiss.

Thanks for the merger Nemesis Chylde!

Waiting By the Willow
I walked to our meeting place
Beneath on old willow
With the crystal river flowing underneath.
There I lingered past the sunset, rosy-golden
You hadn't come
The next day I waited under the tree
Hoping you would come
The sunset
leaving behind a rosy-purple glow.
AGain you hadn't come.
The next day I waited
Hoping, without hope, that you would come.
The sun fell behind the horizon
Sky a purple-blue.
I hung my head in despair
Until I heard a voice
Golden, honey-sweet
Speaking winged words
This voice drew me to the river
I stood upon the riverbank
Watching in awe as a being formed.
"come with me," he said, hand held out to me
I put my hand out, hesitant for a second.
My fingers touch his.
"wait!" cries a voice I thought never to hear again.
You stand by the willow
Sadness, confusion and dismay chase eachother across your face
"Too late," says the water angel in triumph.
I reach my hand out to you in farewell as dew-soft words fall from my lips.
"I waited for you. Waited constant and true. You've come too late now. Farewell My Love."
I step into the river, becoming one of it's creatures
~*~*~*~*~
I come back
Just to watch you
You come to wait here everyday
You sit under the willow
Waiting for me to come take you away with me
"My love, my angel of water," you say
Tears in your eyes
You know I won't return.

your poems are all very good ......

Thanks for commenting the_vanished!!!
Unreal
Why is everything so unreal?
Everything's changing so fast
Life just went past me
I want to get off this nightmare ride
I prefer life on the sideline, thanks
I've been me for eternity and I need a change from this
I ned out of this life headed nowhere
Life just said goodbye to me
Now where do I go?
Everything is unreal.

Solitude
You invite me to join you
I turn away
Giving no anwser
You assume I enjoy my solitude
I have fooled you
What I want most
To be among you happy daylight creatures
I have not the courage
To ask to join
Yet I refuse your invitation
Hoping you will ask a second time
If you had perhaps I would have agreed
And left my darks thoughts and stories
For the joys of companionship and belonging
I choose solitude
Because I so long for company
Percerse creature that I am
I have made you dance the fool's part
Though it is by rights my own

Your poems are quite good. I'm impressed but I'm not good at writing poems.

Your Poems are Brilliant...
No more said..
Good Work keep it up..

My Prayer of Depression
Take my hand
Lead me where you want to be
Drink my soul
Drink out my everything
Leave only the real beneath
Leave only the pain
Memories of innocent days destroyed
Childhood ravaged

Take my hand
Lead me where you want to be
Drink my soul
Drink out my everything
Leave only the real beneath
Leave only the guilt
Memories of hurting others
Breaking promises
Telling lies

Take my hand
Lead me where you want to be
Drink my soul
Drink out my everything
Leave only the real beneath
Leave only the pain
Memories of brokenness
Dreams shattered
Empty hopes
End of Illusion
:pepsi: :pepsi: For my best friend, who is never seen without a Pepsi Can, whether in her backpack or in her hand.
I rhymed, dangit!

After My Fiance Left Me:
Poems of a Bleeding Heart
:sadangel:
Poem 1
You have no idea
What you've done to me
By leaving me
You've taken all my happiness
Left me nothing but pain
I cannot even be happy in my own home
Memories of us, together and happy, haunt me
:sadangel:
Poem 2
No concept of the pain he inflicts
No understanding of what he's done
He's broken me, tossed me aside
Left me with only my happy memories
My broken heart and broken dreams
I'd do anything to have him back
To have him hold me once again
Hear him say "I love you" for the rest of my life

My dreams for us... his promises broken... my heart...

My need
Drink you in
Can't feel anything but you
My pain, my life
My mind, my sanity
Gone away with that first taste
Can't satisfy my need, my hunger
I thirst only for you
My life, my eternity, my love
You let me drink you in
With every drop
I bind my heart to yours, my soul to yours
I ache for you
I die for you
Angels, demons all surround
Binding, bonding, living, loving
Drink you in
Need you in every instant
Drive me mad
Give me it all
Give me what I need
I surrender to my need, my hunger
Bind me to you
Bind my soul, my wrists
I am yours
Bound eternally

loved my need ....very good poem

I can totally relate to this one..........i love it.........great job Kali.....

What I Have Left of Us
Every night
I dream of you
And how it used to be
Back when you really loved me
How you held me close
Chased away my fears and tears
Made me smile
When I was crying
Loved me
Like you'd never love another
But when I wake up
There's an empty place in my soul
Where once you stood
A cold spot in my bed
Where once you laid
Broken dreams and broken promises
Where once there were hopes and love
I'm empty
Broken
Dying
Look and see
Come see what you have done to me.
Can you tell how deep the scars have cut?
How much my heart does bleed?
I burn for you
Did anything for you
I gave you all of me
And this is what I get.
A broken heart and broken dreams
All that's left of you and me
Memories like salt in my heart's wounds
Broken promises and desperate lies
I'm seeing clearer with tear-filled eyes
And all that I can see
Is that I wish it could be like it used to be
Back when you still loved me.


Sorry it rhymed. Sorry it doesn't make sense, partially. It is just how I feel, today... Today, the 5th, would have been our one year anniversary...

Love love love the work!
Love sarah.

Ever-true
What can you see
With eyes filled with tears?
Tears you hold inside
For you dare not let them pass your eyes
As dreams of what was pass before you
In your mind's eye.
See and dream
Dream of better things.
Of sweet kisses and a diamond ring
Of love and all you promised me.
Dream of every hurt you gave
Of every wound and foolish act
And wonder that I'd want you back
Can you understand my heart is true?
That I could love no other as I have loved you?
Can you see me
My tear-filled eyes
Which I dare not cry
For fear of being weak, as I was
Weak for you
I burned for you
Loved you with everything I had
Everything I gave to you.
Can you understand that my love is ever-true
And forever more I'll wait by my window for you.

:icon9: In case any of you who read my poetry are wondering, I write everything from how I feel at the moment of writing. Obviously I'm depressed, so my poems of late show that trend of emotion. :icon9:

No Tittle So Far
Silver against ivory skin
Sweetest pain and deadliest sin
Break the pale snow
To reveal crimson wonder beneath
Crimson tear becomes a river
Sweet addiction sends a shiver
up the spine
Float on ecstasy
brought on by the river
Silver against ivory skin again
Break the snow
Crimson tears flow
Anguished delight
Perfect control
Addiction to pain
My beautiful wonder
Pleasure of pain
Pain of pleasure
One and the same
And not the same still
Call out my name
I am the pleasure I am the pain
Addiction of crimson and silver
Sea of red ecstasy
Stop the flow
Bind it with lily white folds of snow
Wash the silver
So carefully
Saving it for the next time
For the time to play
Again

Lost :cry:
Sometimes I cry inside
‘Cause I don’t dare let those tears past my eyes
I hurt so deep
Everything hurts so badly
I wonder why I was ever born
If I have a purpose
If I should continue to live
What do I have to give the world?
What would I lose,
who would I hurt
if I ended it all right now?
Would anyone care?
Would anyone cry?
Or would I just be swallowed up
One lost life among the many lost souls
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A Confession
I’m tired of crying
pretending you don’t mean anything to me.
I’m done with denying the truth.
So I’m telling you what I feel.
I love you
or as close as I can come to knowing love.
So will you give me the chance?
Or will you turn me away
like others have before?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Give Me a Chance
I’m tried of playing pretend
I don’t want to act anymore.
No more hiding the truth
No more lies.
Here’s my truth:
I love you
with all my heart and soul.
Please give me the chance
to prove my faithful love.
Give me a chance.
That’s all I ask.
I’m not asking you to marry me
or to swear undying affection.
Nothing so drastic.
I only want the chance
to prove my love to you.
Can you give me the chance?
Or is that too much to ask?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I Never
I never told you
how much you meant to me
I never thanked you
You were always there for me
You lent a hand
and gave me a shoulder to cry on
I never thanked you
When my heart needed mending
you were always there
you were always true to me
When I need you
all I had to do was call
You’d be there whenever I needed you
no matter what
you promised
I took it for granted that you’d always be here
Now I’m here
I had to do some major soul searching
I need to thank you for everything you’ve done
I never told you
how much you meant to me
I never thanked you
That’s not how friends are supposed to be.

Unreal
Why is everything so unreal?
Everything's changing so fast
Life just went past me
I want to get off this nightmare ride
I prefer life on the sideline, thanks
I've been me for eternity and I need a change from this
I need out of this life headed nowhere
Life just said goodbye to me
Now where do I go?
Everything is unreal.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
See
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see my pain?
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you feel my insecurity?
Do you know I need you
like I need to breath?
I need you
I need security
To lay my fears to rest
To heal my fragile heart
that another tore apart
Safety to make a new start
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Winter Rain
Walked alone to school
In a misty haze
Feeling the rain fall
My hair is soaking wet
Face streaked by rain
A car passes by
I turn to look
Cranberry red car
But not the one
I want to see
Cross a black river
with unmoving white
Under patchwork archway
enter the Knowing Hall
Stare at all the couples
with their umbrellas
Some of them have holes
Some couples try to patch them
Sometimes just one tries to fix it
And for some
they just ignore the holes
Walk to class
Alone
Rain falls
How strange that it rains
in a Wisconsin winter
Watch all the couples
Walking with umbrellas
Looking at each other
Seeing nothing else
I sit in class
And think back
To the day
When the rain began
On a day just as grey
As this
Everything is bland
Faded as an old photo
Grass that washed-out
brown-grey-green
those just before winter colors
Search for a certain form
Words exchanged
Wind howling
as I could not
And the rain began
Close my eyes
and think away the memory
Sapphire orbs stare at Geometry notes
Blocking out
sighs of loving pairs
Anticipation of being alone
Valentine shyly given
Rain will end
Maybe some day
But not today
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
How Do You Spell Anguish?
Brother’s inane prattle
brushed away by an icy February gasp
February has paper mill breath.
A spiral into faded midnight
Soothing harmony of shuffling and breathing broken
by Nikki’s staccato scream
But it’s all faded to me
White-noise of our school
Superimposed are memories
I wish I’d forget
Melancholy
Feeling isolated in my pain
Memories play
against the half-finished scenery
of the musical the school will put on
Scene unfolds
Seeing his face
Hearing his voice
Feeling his touch
To me
a torturing bliss
Tainted benediction of a fallen angel
Wrapped in steel wool
my heart bleeds sapphire tears
Caught notice of my closest friend
he mouths one word to me
cause of my torture
For me
anguish is spelled
P-A-U-L :sadangel:

Rain
I made my mistakes
Burnt too many bridges
Cried a thousand tears
Lived more than my years

But I can say
I danced in the rain
Played with the flame
Forgot my own name

There’s no love without pain
It’s give and it’s take
I’ve got something to believe in
Without it I could not win

But I can say
I found my own name
I’ve loved and felt pain
I am my own bane
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kiss Me
I'm begging to be for a kiss
With my lips so soft and juicy red
Reminding you of a berry

This night's been so nice
The air is warm, sunset so beautiful
We're still two blocks from my front porch.

You took me out dancing
We went to the movies, and you let me choose a tearjerker, chick flick
Our shoes are sticky with theater floor candy.

I did my hair up so nice and my make up just right
I wanted to look good for you tonight
I wanted to get a kiss.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Night
Emptiness
Vast nothingness of pain
Drowning in unshed tears
Breaking up inside
All my dreams lie shattered on the floor
Everything is lost
Wandering listless
Nothing is worth anything
All I love is darkness
The night is beautiful
Black, empty
Like my soul
Confusion stealing my life
Corruption eating my soul
Hollow, empty, alone
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Acting
The smile
Dazzling show of happiness
fake as silicon breasts
Illusion of normality
seeming so content
Eyes show no light
vacant of life
Then they move
revealing life within
Walking in a zombie world
Curse of tears
Living in a fog
Detached
Pain and emptiness eternal companions
Confusion of emotionlessness
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Poem on My Sketchpad
With each passing day
the time I cry is shorter
and the pain I feel is lessened
because I know
deep in my heart
that someday we’ll be together again
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A Good Memory
We ran together
Often scuffing our knees
You held my hand
as I told you all of my dreams
Thank you Daddy
For being my friend :hug:

I am the angel
that kisses your wounds
and drinks away your pain
because I love you.

I take your abuse
and I feel so used
because I love you.

I would do anything for you
anything at all
I would catch you when you fall
because I love you.

I need you like I need to breath
I need your touch
Will you be my fantasy?
I need your love,
Baby, so much

Will you kiss me?
Be my friend?
Treat me good?
Keep your promises?
Remember the important things?
Forgive my mistakes?
Love me always?

Please kiss me, I want to feel your lips on my skin.
Please be my friend, so we both know how to begin.
Please treat me good, because I don't wanna take more abuse.
Please don't break your promises, because you know it hurts me.
Please remember what's important, it means so much to me.
Please forgive my mistakes, I'll always forgive you yours.
Please love me always, I will always love you.

In a pledge... on my honor, everything rides
In a pledge... I don't change sides
In a pledge... I keep true
In a pledge... Even if I don't like it, still I will do
In a pledge... I promise you
In a pledge... I will always be true.


(I have no idea where any of this came from... It kinda just wanted to be written... even though it doesn't make so much as a single lick of sense... Oh well... *kicks Muse* Stupid, random nothingness! Why do you give me stupid, random bits of nonsensical poems? *runs away, Muse chasing with a cattle prod* Nyyyaaaah!!!!)
