two of my favorite poems

"Out, Out"

The buzz-saw snarled and rattled in the yard
and made dust and dropped stove-length sticks of wood,
sweet-scented stuff when the breeze drew across it.
And from there those the lifted eyes could count
five mountain ranges one behing the other
under the sunset far into Vermont.
And they saw snarled and rattled, snarled and rattled,
as it ran light, or had to bear a load.
And nothing happened: day was all but done.
Call it a day, I wish they might have said
to please the boy by giving him the half hour
that a boy counts so much when saved from work.
His sister stood beside them in her apron
to tell them "Supper." At that word, the saw,
as if to prove saws knew what supper meant,
leaped out at the boy's hand, or seemed to leap-
he must have given the hand. However it was,
Niether refused the meeting. But the hand!
The boy's first outcry was a rueful laugh,
as he swung toward them holding up the hand
half in appeal, but half as if to keep
the life from spilling. Then the boy saw all-
Since he was old enough to know, big boy
doing a man's work, though a child at heart-
he saw all spoiled. "Dont let him cut my hand off-
the doctor, when he comes. Dont let him, sister"
So. But the hand was gone already.
The doctor put him in the dark of ether.
He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath.
And then- the watcher at his pulse took fright.
No one believed. They listened at his hear.
Little -less-nothing! and that ended it.
No more to build on there. And they, since they
were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

By Robert Frost

"Footprints"

One night I had a dream
I dreamed I was walking alonbg the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest part of my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of of footprints.
I dont understand why in the times when I needed you most,
you should leave me"
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you"

By Mary Stevenson

And this is the poem that I wrote

"The storm inside"

The storm inside never calms down
The wind never lets down
The rain never seizes
And the the sea in which I find myself in is never calm either
The storm inside never calms down
The winds pick up the sea and thrash it about
The storm inside is never calms down
The rain beats down on me, pushing me down and under the sea
The storm inside never calms down
The sea takes me and pulls me down as I fight to stay above the waves
But the winds and rain are against me
The storm inside never calms down
Yet as I fight the sea, a ship comes along
As I feel strong arms take hold of me and bring me onto the ship
I look at my rescuer to find myself falling into brown eyes
And I realize that everything will be okay, as the storm rages on.

Alone

All alone, no one’s there
Does my family even care
Dying away inside
Outside I hide
Behind this expression
I don’t belong
I’m singing a different song
All alone, no one’s here
No one I can be near
Why am I here?
Just to suffer
Strange, different, unique
All this means is I’m a freak
All alone, no one’s there

what did u think of that one????

[WraithOfIllusions]

Night's Death Song
The darkness of the night;
The Full moon's glow;
The black wolf's howl echoes.
Night's Death Song is about to begin.
The dark clouds enshroud the moon;
The forests become ominous;
The trees close in.
Night's Death Song is about to begin.
The black wolf's howl fades;
As a low, resonating, sound takes it's place
Silence fills the ears of man.
Night's Death Song is about to begin.
The low, resonating, sound ends
And the world falls into silence agian
Night's Death Song is about to begin...

The wind blows gently through the trees
And a shrill whistle pierces night ears
The dark clouds still shroud the moon
Night's Death Song has begun.
The low, resonating, sound begins again
Followed closely by a shrill howl
The howl from the black wolf's mouth
Night's Death Song has begun.
Man's ears are still silent
They are unable to hear Death's presence
The black wolf's howl is joined
By the laughter of something unholy
Night's Death Song has begun.
The unholyness spreads like wildfire
There is no sun to burn it away
For Death fears the sun's direct touch
Night's Death Song has begun.
Black wolf's howl
Low, resonating, sounds
Wind whistling through the trees.
Night's Death Song has begun.

But wait!
One being of pure white
She ventures out of the forest
Night's Death Song still plays
A Doe of white purity
Stands tall against Death's dark sneer
The dark sneer of Night's song
Night's Death Song still plays
The deer is a symbol
A symbol of truth
A symbol of hope
Night's Death Song still plays
What becomes of man if truth is gone?
What becomes of man if hope fades?
What becomes of man if
Night's Death Song still plays?
The doe of White seeing all
She takes no notice of those there
And continues her walk through the forest
Night's Death Song still plays
She walks between the dark trunks
Around the dark presense
And deeper into the throng
Night's Death Song still plays
The black wolf growls
The sound low, and resonating
Death bares his blood stained teeth
Night's Death Song still plays

There will be no piercing scream
There will be no saving god
There will be no mourning
Night's Death Song is reaching its peak
There will be no one there
There will be no saving love
There will be no other sacrifice
Night's Death Song is reaching its peak
There is no hope for her
There is no need to quell her wants
There is no other place for her to be
Night's Death Song is reaching its peak
There is no rain to wash away the blood
There is no preventing Death's claim
There is not a way to change her
Night's Death Song is reaching its peak
There was no discussion
There were no choices
There was no changing her fate
She made her decision
We must honor it
Night's Death Song has reached its peak

She chose her fate
She chose to give up Hope
She chose to give up Love
Night's Death Song is ending
She chose to show the world her strength
She chose to show her peace with Death
She chose to let you know her sacrifice
Night's Death Song is ending
She wanted you to know her love
She wanted you to know her power
She wanted you to see the Truth
Night's Death Song is ending
She wanted this
She accepted this
Now it's your turn
Night's Death Song has ended...

For now.

[WraithOfIllusions]

The Ice slowly creeps once again
over the heart I thought i'd saved.
The slow burning of the frozen water
ever killing my marbled heart.
What have I ever done
to receive such a death?
What can I ever do
to earn your trust?
I will allow the Ice to creep once again
over my marbled heart of dark stone
I have had enough
of the deep longing of home
I will no longer see the way
others want me to be
I will be myself
no matter what you think
The darkness has closed in
from a past i long to forget
due to the carelessnes
of my once friend
I have heard the condemning cry
that you thought I'd never hear
Put your ear to my heart,
you'll never hear it beat
I've become
what i wished I'd overcome
But you see me tomorrow
glaring at the sun
wishing once more
That I was truly done.

[TokyoRain]

If I lie awake at night,
Know that I think of only you.
If I stare off in class,
Know that I want you and only you.
If I blush and walk faster in the halls,
Know that it's just to avoid so I don't blow my cover.
If you tell me that you want to do something over the weekend,
Know that I will say "I'll think about it" even though I knew I would the second you offered.
If you ask me if I want you,
Know that I'll just smile sweetly and refuse to answer.
If you act like a jerk because you don't know what else to do,
Know that I still love you.
If you ask me if you hurt me by not being with me,
Know that I would never hurt you by telling you you did.
If you come to me with your girlfriend and introduce her,
Know that I will smile and act sweet.
If you ask me later if I like her,
Know that I will say I do, even though I don't.

Know that I love you and would do anything for you,
But if I have the chance to tell you, I'll lie.
Because I all want is for you to be happy,
Even if it's not with me.

Thanks, it's one of the few poems I do based on my feelings (not good at expressing my feelings so I don't do many of them.) Glad to know it sounds good.

When did you write that!?

[Tsunasuke]

Heres one I did a while back hope you enjoy it.

*****************************************
I love it, the evening scene that hides the sun.
As he will lay to sleep now.

I see me, a new reflection, a new born soul, a flower bloomed into itself.
What can you tell me of the past, that I have left.
even though I still remember you.

to the stars above, as they look below, to the child they see.
A heart that pains the same, Gods stay distant from earth.
Suspended in the heavens.

And though these stars are bright, they still cannot see.
the flames that burn inside his core.
That flame forever burns inside this soul.

The stars said that you are different, A blackened rose inside a field of color.
So you went to wake the heart, that had been sleeping so long.
Who would be the one to open the chamber door, that had held all my sorrow.
all locked doors must be opened, in one way or in another.
Even though this flower still must grow.

To the rose in bloom, to the child at birth, it's a miracle.
beginnings that are bound to end.
and so shining, the life is born again.
Though I need to go, now inside my soul.
Deep inside my mind, the true me is crying out.

And I will wake the flame, that has been ashes so long.

Sighing to the falling stars, if only I could have caught them.
now talking to the past I see now lost, in missing me I see a dark tunnel.
I cannot go to the place where our hearts beg to call home.
This place you call death.

The story ends today, with another start.
yet our hearts will cry, our souls will always sing.

singing to the new me what will come to be?
saying goodbye to all the lives that I have had.
As I stare into the stars, reflected in the sea.
looking through memories I had left behind.

As I stare into it, I can see them.
in the lucid blue, a dream, a new rebirth.

[Haiiro]

This is probably my all time favorite poem/song. I don't think I could ever really explain why though. Suffice to say that I think this poem is absolute perfection - I wouldn't change a word of it.


"The Moon, she hangs like a cruel portrait
soft winds whisper the bidding of trees
as this tragedy starts with a shattered glass heart
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But on, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."

She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liquored eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World

That fateful Eve when...
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An inquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon

Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog

They raped and left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog

Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer

She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"

Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me
For I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand in between?!"

And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...

The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
Their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice

A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin

And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...

Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog

And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog

Her ghost in the fog
