Poems

I don't know about you guys but I love writing poems check this one and tell me what you think. If anybody elss wants to put a poem feel free to do it.

Blaire that one is awesome.

Im not very good at this so ill make it short

Not necessarily to bring people down but this is a peom I wrote after my Best Friend/Grandmother died. I named it for the number of the hospital room she died in.

3208
Close your eyes, Close your eyes.
They are weary and ready for sleep.
So close them, nevermind the passersby.
Rest your eyes for they have seen much and they are weary.

Rest your body, Rest you head.
They are tired and they are weak
So let them rest upon your bed.
You've endured much in this battle and you are weary.

Sleep now. Just sleep Grandma.
My eyes see that you are weary from this fight.
So I tell you " I love you", hoping it says all.
For I say it with more meaning and emotion than ever of the millions from long ago nights.

(Geez....I reread it and now I'm tearing up...)

EDIT: I'm adding a second poem.

I wrote another cathartic poem to express my jumble of emotions over my friend dating a guy behind my back and within a short period of time getting engaged to him. I fuzzed out their names; that's what the asterisks are.

I haven't named it so....

-I've known of your infatuation from the start
Done my best to shield your heart
from the the pains of broken courtship
thinking it my part of a good friendship

Years passed
My guard relaxed

One week later, after our day of fun,
your closer friend spilled a plain confirmation
to the inkling fear I had quietly nursed.
The names ******** and **** I audibly cursed.

Days went by
Tears I cried

I reluctantly accepted your new status.
To open your eyes, I felt as a friend, that I must.
For you would not see him in ways that you needed.
No matter who counseled either party, you never heeded.

Weeks flew away
And now there's today

You show me your hand and time is meaningless.
I grip your gaze and utter a cold "What's that?"
Trying to be sweet and lighthearted you reply " What's it look like?"
Your facial expression, knotted brow yet smiling, almost asking forgiveness.

My tongue is frozen
My heart is frozen
My mind is burning

I have to say all of your poems are Fabulous

I thought I really loved you,
I thought I really cared.
But then I ripped your heart out,
and left your spirit bare.

It was always in my plan like this,
I was supposed to break your heart.
Then you had to kiss me,
and take me from the start.

So love me yesterday,
Hate me today,
forget me tomorrow.
Remember not your sorrow.

Because without me, you're better off,
even though I love you.
Don't come back to save me,
Even if your love is true.

I don't deserve you anymore,
I doubt I ever did.
So don't shed anymore tears for me,
I only ever hid.

So love me yesterday,
Hate me today,
forget me tomorrow.
Remember not your sorrow.

I've taken off the mask,
and shown you who I am.

I'm sorry that I hurt you,
I'm sorry that I ran.


So love me yesterday,
Hate me today,
forget me tomorrow.
Let me have your sorrow

Wow... That was very good, Kize.

Thx! I don't even know why I wrote it. It just comes to me. I don't even think when I write poems. But all of my poems are very depressing, you would never know based on how cheerful I am all the time though.

Ditto....well, not ALL of my poems. I have maybe 2 that aren't depressing. I put on a pretty good facade for people to see. The proverbial Happy Face.

Lol, You're not the only one!

I like all of them, I'm not gonna put one of my songs here.

You're not? Why not?
Songs (some songs anyway) are poetry set to music.

Um not nowadays. lol.

Rap is poetry. A bit dirty, but still poetry.

You don't listen to a wide enough variety then
Rap is not the only this that constitutes as poetry in the music world. And there is the rare rap song that isn't dirty (Kick, Push- escaping reality for a while by skate boarding).
I think I'll make a different thread so we can talk about music. Even though some of it is poetry that doesn't make this the place to talk about it.

*scampers off to make Music topic*

Empty Memories
Theres simply much too remember
Too much to perceive
Too much to look out for
At least it is for me

We've had our good and our bad
Times I'll keep in mind
Things we've both enjoyed
I hope that you will find

Differences changed our future
Differences; Abrasive as an emery
Take our past to heart
They're not just Empty Memories

So do it for the love of art
Do it like we did before
Show me that you love me
My star-crossed lover
