AnaBB Cover Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Something like this :A time to dieWhen all hope has pastAnd all that lies ahead is miseryIs there any point in continuing to fightTime always runs out eventually for the lonelySingle meals heated in the microwaveSingle seats on planes surrounded by happy voicesOnly half a lifetimeBut its time to call an endEuthanasia would be a simple solutionBut they make it harder for human kindNo lethal injection to take away the painNothing to lose, nothing to gainJust drifting through the daysWaiting for something to happenBut it never does, it never does,So all I do is wait in vainA dull, nagging, long endured painThe pain of lost opportunitiesThe pain of stupid mistakesOnly the foolish wait for their lives to changeYou have to make it happenSo take the knifeAnd end this lifeAnd come tomorrowThere will be time for sorrowIt is easy to die when you write it downPut down the pen and wipe away that frownGo to sleep and dream of deathGo to sleep and dream of deathOne day your dream will last forever...Your dream will last forever....forever...forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 OHH Ohhh I wanna share too both by me (Alexa Lowe) I took intro to poetry this semester and so for the passed week I've been made to write it lol Love A sort of pleasant obsession with someone The kind that is selfless What a feeling to lose this loved one it renders you hopeless A form that is not entirely known The kind that cannot be spoken How can it be shown A heart torn and feelings broken ------------------------------------ Central American Blvd. In the warmth of December, Wintin the noise of the streets There pondered a dog And a contemplating member attempting to cross. In the middle of noon, Underneath the shadow of an over-pass The child moved carefully And the dog moved too soon Attempting to cross. In the centre of the highway, After the brutal assult Left a trail of blood there And the mut slowly limped away Attempting to cross. In the middle of the market place, Among the hustling people A dog laid there dead And still creatures run with steady pace Attempting to cross ------------------------- (weird I know, but bare with me... on my trip to Honduras I saw a dog get hit by a car and I cried and it was the only thing I could think of writing ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchygirl Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I am forever youngI nibble on life's giftsMe and the other youngsters,We pour each other glasses of loveGet soaked in a rain of beautywe dance on the soil that is being covered with flowers as ourfeet hit it's burning sandWe ignore the thunderstorm aheadI am forever youngFor now..

penny-dreaddfull Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 ive been cursed with the insomniacs kiss so ill write a little bit and hopefully tire myself out i dont title my stuff.. it makes it even more pretentious than it already is stay away from magic shows especially those involving words words are very tricky things. everyone knows words the most common instruments of illusion they most likely be saying them breathing poems so rhythmic you cant help but dance and once you start dancing to words you might never stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaronOfFratton Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 This little puff-piece was written a few years ago - an homage to Edgar Allen Poe and his poem "Annabel Lee" - I'd hope Penny-Dreaddful was aware of it, if no one else! I should post it in the Anouck Lepere thread too. I think she's pretty much retired now, but at the time she sashayed through my dreams... It was troubling me on billboards high And magazines everywhere That a maiden displayed, that was making me sigh By the name of ANOUCK LEPERE; And this maiden, she lived with no knowledge of me As she gazed benignly from there. And I sought out her image, I sought out her smile In magazines everywhere And hours I'd spend watching FashionTV - For a glimpse of ANOUCK LEPERE - Watching adverts intently on telly each night 'Cos she appears on some perfume one there. And just like 'Leffe' and just like Magritte She's a part of my Belgian affair And we'd move back to Antwerp to eat moules et frites Just me and ANOUCK LEPERE And from Paris, Milan, New York and beyond I'm in love with the girl with the long brown hair As it sashays in chestnut down catwalks And in magazines everywhere. I'd defer to her knowledge of what clothes suited me And on my ear I'd proudly wear - A jewellery piece that caresses my lobe Designed by my maiden with flair And sold in 'Barney's' and 'Maxfield's' But mine, a gift from ANOUCK LEPERE But our love it is stronger by far than the love Of some model + rock-star pair Or some strange David Copperfield affair No, no rock-star, nor actor or male-model No magician or millionaire Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the lovely ANOUCK LEPERE And I guess I can't write without invoking the sight Of the lovely ANOUCK LEPERE As she promenades down my daydream runways The lovely ANOUCK LEPERE: We'd discuss architecture whilst the mood got quite potent With her swathed in 'Deep Red' and (no doubt) Dries Van Noten I'd lie by my muse with no more a care - If she'd only come out of her magazine there. And then I moved on. God, I'm fickle... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Ma'am - I just knew you'd know that one!!! Thank you for the kind words. Of course this means I might just outstay my welcome! Please post more. I thought the "I would like to be Mary..." poem was a beauty. Ever read any D H Lawrence poetry? It was quite akin... I hope this thread picks up - Looking forward to a deluge.
