Reaper in the ShadowsI am the dust in the gathering light,
Heard in the drop of morning rain,
Looming within the rose bud,
A speck in night's velvet wake.

I whisper louder than Zephyr,
Sing with a voice that's croaked,
You hear me beneath the screams,
Of fears Silence cloaked.

As warm as Love's confusion,
As cold as the other's heart.
The shady, cunning warrior,
Who tears the world apart.

You'll find me drowned in water,
Buried deep in desert sand.
Unseen like the wisp of vapor,
That came from no man's land.

Freed to be caged forever,
In an endless labyrinthian maze.
Where each dead end is my escape,
And waxed wings are set ablaze.

A Letter to No OneThe clock ticked against silence,
Upon the cemetery of a room.
Deep sighs weave through the air,
Meager warmth in compressed despair.

Moths fall prey to a musty lampshade,
An opened window to Night’s gloom.
Thoughts dance like ripples on water,
And clouds on the hiding moon.

A lullaby plays from the gentle sound,
Made by scratching pen on paper.
One story told too many times,
Is voiced from words created.

Though this time revived from lies,
A phoenix forms the ugly truth.
The pen rolls from the wooden desk,
Having served its final use.

Old dusty dolls and teddy bears,
Watched helplessly through glassy eyes.
No star showed to twinkl

Mistakes[Mistakes]

"I've made a mistake" is something I'll say
Which would be quite often, almost every day
About silly little things that don't mean much
And really big things that cause a lot of fuss

Forgetting a book and even a test
Or not remembering when you confessed
Not taking out the trash at the end of the day
That leaves this strong smell that just won't go away

Arguing with my best friend, losing them at the end
A relationship that could take many years to mend
Even making new enemies at every right turn
After acting without thought or any concern

The things I've said, the acts I've done
Pushing on my chest like a million to

AvalonAvalon

Disaster struck upon the Earth
Chaos spread like a wildfire
And the humanity split
Turning on one another

Soon nothing was left but the bare dust of the burned
The virus spread and killed everyone
And in time the dead came back to life
Hunting the living and punishing them for their sins

The Armageddon came and we couldn't escape
The world fell in to the dust of destruction
With each day the living decay as the dead arise
With each moment the remains of humanity fade

The sun blazes over the dying lands
The dry rivers and burned fields
Only the road keeps on going forever
Only the road keeps us alive

We move from

Soul CollectorBloody murderer…
Damned soul collector…

Tell me, how could you extort the life out of those shiny, brown eyes?!
I'm vividly smiling as he slowly dies…
Tell me, didn't you fell a thing while giving the poisonous kiss?
I feel every beating of his heart as we are immersing in the bliss…

A soul collector, destroyer of the mind,
I'm about to extinguish his light, to leave him lost and blind…
I'll encage his ripped soul,
Just after he'll lose the self-control…
Don't drag another soul into your disgrace,
Just one more blanked face…
Don't kill again with your breath-taking embrace,
I prom

Fire in my VeinsI can feel the fire burning in my veins,

For some reason I can't seem to move past this pain,

Just a simple glimpse of your face makes my heart jump,

The mere thought of you makes my blood pump,

At times I wish that we could go back,

Hit reverse and rewind the track,

But that's something that we can't do,

Because this has changed me and you,

There's too many things that I just don't know,

And we might not have that far to go,

Just like you said, I guess time will tell,

And until then I'll be living in this hell.

Ink GravesLetterless words and pageless books-
and ink blots on the flowers;
Ghosts scratch their heads and tap their pens,
all across the hours.

Winds can howl and cease to be,
by one twitch of my pen;
I spoke of writing a poem tonight,
and by dawn I've written ten.

Emily sits aside nobody,
the Raven, above, waits;
Frost dances in a yellow wood,
among the long lost dates.

A tall, well spoken willow,
looms over the grave;
Protecting every dated word,
and every thought they gave.

I crumple another masterpiece,
with thoughts I'd thought to save;
and as it strikes the baset bottom,
it rests in its ink grave.

Shh. (Extended)Shh, and hear the silent scream
Of the girl you used to be.

Blink; let her flash before your eyes
Let her smile take you by surprise.

Isn't the sight of those curved lips strange?
Stranger - how quickly this life can change.

Notice how she doesn't reek of pain.
The purity of her soul is difficult to obtain.

Wait...do echoes of the past have a soul?

HollowSo many questions that I don't know the answer to,

But I feel like it's better that I don't know the truth,

For they would probably eat at my head,

Hollow it out from end to end,

Take control of my mind,

If those answers I were to find,

Root themselves deep within my skull,

And grow until they were full,

Full of contempt and disgust,

Disgust that I gave you my trust,

While it still may enter my thoughts,

It's better than being controlled like a robot,

A simple sentence could free my mind,

Or cause it all to collapse and unwind,

But I guess that's the gamble that I'll take,

Because lately I've grown to hate,

Hate the things tha

love is hurtingThe beautiful days we held so close, I once said to 'hello' to you.
Our meeting was brief, and simple.
Caring, and kind.
We left with helpless hearts.
Neither regretting, nor forgetting.

Our meeting place, once helped me smile.
Overcoming each day.

I still wish for the past,
with crying into my hands, at last.
Letting lose the tears,
I know I shouldn't fear.
You tell me "You'll move on".

But the glass still digs into my skin, and prickles each time I see you.
Wandering like I'm not here.

I touch my lips, and hope for yours to return.
The tears keep streaming, never forgetting.

Comic Book HeroWe met in the Summer, I was single and free,
So fragile and sweet, he took care of me.
He was so much fun, exciting and new,
It was all so amazing, too good to be true.

Like a comic book hero, he swept me away.
He promised me the world, the night and day.
But his heart was untrue, his words were lies.
No comic book hero, but a villain disguised.

Our romance was deep, like Superman and Miss Lane
Iron Man, Miss Potts, Spidey and Mary Jane.
He impressed me with gifts, and words sublime,
Affirmations of how he would always be mine.

Like a comic book hero, he swept me away.
He promised me the world, the night and day.
But his hea

Tower of Babel
Tower of Babel

Held within such tender arms
Warmth I'll forever hold...
Stars shine like a thousand charms
You smile a smile so cold

You locked your own heart
With a rusted key
You're breaking apart
With every feigned glee

A flower without sunshine
Is doomed to die....
A love without sorrow
Is merely a lie

Clutching on to me so tightly
Screaming out in pain
Your voice at the peak of breaking
It's driving me insane

Within the silence of this room
I whisper wishes to the moon
And in my dreams I see your smile
Let's just stay like this for awhile

There's no such thing as forever
But even still let's be together....

TreasureI found a treasure on the street,
More precious than anything I ever saw.
He was hiding in the shadows,
Unnoticed by those who never look.

But I saw him, filled with light,
With a heart of gold and calming warmth.
I saw him, hiding in the darkness,
Hoping for some light to reach his eyes.

I knew what he was waiting for,
I knew how he felt, day for day,
Where hope seemed unreachable,
That boy whose life seemed worthless and dark.

I saw the surprise he felt,
When I stopped and reached towards him,
"What are you doing in that corner?
Look around, it's a bright and sunny day!"

Slowly he nodded and stood,
his large eyes finally t

Ghost StoryWhat is this
on the next horizon
holding strong against the wind,
it is a figment,
it is an oil stain,
it is something
less than a blur
and more than a photograph.

To the Silver Moon[To The Silver Moon]
Shining brightly silver moon
From a crescent to full bloom
Up above the Earth so high
Like a lonely seeing eye
There was a dream all men shared
To stand on you and look back here
All through the ages that we dreamt
Till *god took us, so we went
Wars and battles you saw all
Life and death with no recall
But still you shine on with hope
The kind that we do not deserve
All the things from up there
And what we disregard down here
Sea of blue and brown patches
Filled with the mess of progress
Stepping off-world was a dream
Uniting the divided
Scars left by meteorites
Now joined by rubber soled prints
Sky's the limit wasn't true
A portal to the stars
The legacy left on the Earth
Can be continued from afar

writing prompt- handsHer hands are soft and tender as a rose
Feeling smooth like silk
Her hands slowly were tapping on the keyboard
Letters appearing on the screen filling up pages with words
Creating stories about untold worlds
About paradises about happiness
And about sadness and depression
Her emotions were flowing though her work
Sometimes humorous and at other times very serious
Her writing could make depression disappear
As fast as snow would melt on a hot day on Cuba
It could a smile appear on your face
As a car would drive in a NASCAR race
'So what are you writing about this time Sweetie?'
I asked her as she was staring at the screen

A true manA true man won't give up when he is needed
Cause even when he gets beat up
His honour will remain undefeated
Cause when he stands up
He won't give up
Dangling arms, dripping blood
His soul won't get caught up in the flood
Of his life
Cause in the end life is just a bit trifle

Blind LovePekki, je t'adore
and no matter what you say
I will always love you more
and other boys might find this a little gay (yes we haz very bigoted guys at my school)

I love you for your cute little nose
Your beautiful smile
and your tender like a rose
for you I would follow a new life style

I love you for your amazing wits
Your wonderful art
is I must say quite exquisite
Sweetie it's true that you stole my heart

I love you because you're so nice
and sweet like a strawberry
you bring my mind to a total peace
for you I would hop right on a ferry

Silence

by ~Koratoshisfriend, Sep 7, 2012, 1:22:01 PM
Literature / Poetry / General Poetry / Free Verse

They say speaking is silver and silence is gold,
In some cases it might be true.
But there is also a truth that goes untold,
Even if it might be quite blue.

Silence is sometimes bad,
Not always so don't get upset.
Some things that are evil can make us go mad,
Some things that are even a threat.

Even if your enemies will make your blood boil,
The silence of your friends will be what hurts you more.
Words might hurt us, but silence can torment us.

Something that was suggested to me by somebody that I thought, hey why not give it a shot.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
Quote Martin Luther King, Jr.

(I used that quote to get an idea what to write about)

I love it if you like it
and if you could leave some feedback so I can improve that will be great

it's a saying that silence is golden, because it says more then words, but it also implies that silence is a good thing
