A collection of four different poems that I wrote, enjoy ;) |
The first poem I wrote was called "Broken Wings", I wrote it after a friend of mine that I liked fell for another one of my friends, it is a slightly depressing and angsty piece. Broken Wings This little bird, locked in a cage A heart filled with bitter rage A spark of change behind its eyes Cold clarity in a world of lies Breaking the wings sets a change A single truth through every age The bird is gone, the beast is here No more love, no more fear The cage is gone, the beast is free A new world, with new sights to see Thinking so much differently Now with a predator’s gleam Brings an end to the bird’s dark dream This next poem is called "Elegy", it was written for a contest that I never actually entered into. I honestly can't summarize it as so many different people read it and said different ideas that came to mind. I would really love to hear your thoughts on it. Elegy I taste my death upon your lips with our last kiss All the things that I lament A sweet memory that I will dearly miss The force that makes us part, I will always resent A song sung as my old shell sinks into the grave A cold, yet loving elegy A bittersweet melody meant only for me An ephemeral love, designed my soul to save I truly regret my fate, A dark and unruly jest That my soul never be laid to rest Any chance to be redeemed comes too late As today fades into tomorrow, An endless cycle, forever to repeat A twisted embrace of sorrow I begin to feel my soul’s defeat I linger, the passage of another year’s twilight I’ve forgotten all the things I ever wanted to say And I pray to all who listen, Bring an end to this, the awful, howling, night… This next poem is untitled, I never really thought of a name for it until now, so from this moment, I dub it, "Worship". It is basically a declaration of love and a promise of what lies in store for the person being spoken to. Worship Love, a bittersweet song in my heart It never stops once these feelings start Oh the pain whenever we part You make misery an art Can you hear the words I say? For your love I pray Each and every day And with my heart you play Call to me and name your king Bound to your soul my heart can freely sing Be my queen And we’ll rule a new world unseen With that little word and some hope I can save myself with this little rope The last poem is my favorite, it is titled, "Metamorphosis". I feel that you should read it and interpret it in your own way. Metamorphosis Can betrayal take a form as sweet as thee? Can I endure this bitter agony The painful beating of my heart Incited by these feelings that you start The cause of all my rage All my love and hate locked in a cage Cannot let my jealousy win I hope and pray I never give in Will I be undone Cause I don’t seem to be your one You ran to another I thought I was it and there’d be no other And now there’s a light A chance for me to make it right He’ll not always be forever at your side And then I’ll truly let my heart be my guide I'll wait and fight through this pain My heart and soul resist the solitude of this rain I listen to him say your name And endure and survive my secret shame I’ll break my weakness and take my crown I swear I won’t let you down I’ll spread my wings and at last be free And then you’ll see The secret, hidden side of me That is basically it, this is my collection of poems thus far, I hope to share more with you in the near future. Please read these and tell me what you thought of them, I would greatly appreciate any reviews or opinions. |
