I decided to make this, since I don't think I have made a topic just for my poetry. If I have, I'm very sorry, I can't find it.

Don't expect anything good.

Green text is my commentary.

Damaged Rose

What misfortune befallen the bloom
Underfoot rose so withered by time
Faltering strength among and paled
She stands among blossoms whose
Perfect petals dwell in prime and
Scorn and shun the imperfection

Although maimed too stubborn
To withdraw her roots and wither
To ashen remains under rejection
All attempts to rejoin the ranks
Of those who obviously outshine
End in cold disappointment

Outcast befriended by those better
Masked with bitter lack of emotion
What stirs within her aching chest
Pain or pleasure intertwined?
When gaze should happen to befall
Upon one she is unworthy of?

She a single word and he a novel
He worth so much than his lover
A masterpiece gazed as if a dream
Mere moments and a beat is heard
Is this a heart's song that echoes?
Can it be this bitch has warmth?

But one so perfect deserves such
One of the glorious peaking from
Behind unblemished features
Beckoning with such glory
But love remains and spirit stirs

This was inspired by someone whom I have feelings for, although he does not yet know of these feelings. Knowing my parents, I'm going to have to doubt that he'll ever know. =/

The Price of Freedom

Denied depression a night before
Uttered words ignored by divinity
Sunset as I awaken in faded hope
Pain sparks and blamed elsewhere
The agony of tears wept too long
Weeping eyes never to see sun

Beckoning blade awaiting the time
Fear's defiance against apathy
Worn among battles and to crumble
She fated to trace the path marked
With crimson representation of pain
The misunderstood and outcast

Respect to parents and love to child
Sacrifice nothing and receive nothing
She's not a servant but a bound soul
Freedom's value rises with each cry
Soon to equal lines of self pity upon
Blemished flesh short of perfection

I'm depressed. What can I say?

That's why there's the poetry index. ^^ (you did have one. The animal one)

But if you plan to put them all here, that's fine.

I like the imagery in the Price of Freedom. ^^

Ah, thanks Seito. =D

you welcome. ^^
people just don't notice the index. xD

xD I really don't. *doesn't even know what the index is to be truthful*

It's the first sticky in this subforum call the poetry index. xD

Index - a sequential arrangement of material, esp. in alphabetical or numerical order.

xD Ohhh. *sees her name*

yeah. x3 I keep wondering if people use them. And we're trying to keep the new threads down and prefer everyone to use their old ones. But it's a learning process. xD

xD I like sitting in this one poetry thread.

o_o; Now. If only I could find my questing thread.

*nods* yeah especially poetry subforum. We want it all to be in one thread.

To find your quest thread just use control + f and search for your username. it should eventually pop up.

xD Thanks Seito!

^^ you welcome.

Behind the Mask

The infernos of heartlessness dwindle
Hellish blaze subsiding from her eyes
A new set of embers await be kindled
Are they perhaps the burn of passion?

Pessimistic features soften to touch
Imperfections forgotten in daydream
Disfigurements remembered in shame
Who is she to dream of such a being?

Unfamiliar eyes reflect the starlit sky
Murmur of a miracle uttered in hope
Passing comet be the messenger
Shall an angel hear my request now?

Masked yearning revealed in privacy
From companions and enemies alike
Mockery reigns if by chance sighted
But is such desire more than illusion?

Ughh. Why must I mope over a man I have absolutely no chance of ever getting?

A New Day

Allow my eyes to remain
Plead to linger in dream
Embrace him a final time
Cling as he fades to dark

Awaken

Clutch palms chestward
Longful heartbeat stays
Let blackness conquer
Reform my false realities

Failure

Dazed in the world of all
Where we never speak
So I pray that if it never
Comes to be in reality

Dreams

He's haunting my dreams.
