Hello, all. I've decided to post a few of the poems I've come up with recently, and this seemed the right place to do it. -Looks around at shiny new thread and sighs- Well, here goes nothing...

And Nothing More...
By: Cadone

When we were kids,
we played a game,
called Seven in Heaven


I remember one time,
when it was my turn,
and I stepped into the closet


My partner, now,
She was nervous,
as I was myself


I embraced her to me,
And whispered softly,
in her ear


When we go out,
we'll say we kissed,
and nothing more.


Now, I've grown a bit,
And still today,
I play this game


My partner,
she grew, too,
and was with me once again


This time,
there was no soft embrace,
just passion running free


And as we finished,
she took my hand,
and whispered with a smile


When we go out,
we'll say we kissed,
and nothing more...


As I See the Sunrise...
By: Cadone

As I lay here
Broken
Unable to move
Amidst this vile expanse
Of ruin that is
My own creation
And consequence
I find myself
Wishing
For three
Most simple things


I wish that
Somehow
I could eradicate
All of
The choices
I made this night
To poison myself
And
Willingly
Endanger another
Whom
Is innocent
Of my error


I wish that
I
Could have
No
Would have
Said goodbye
To my family
And those
Of my friends
Who would
Have discouraged me
From this undertaking


And
My final wish
As
I see
The sunrise
Just over
The golden
Horizon
Is
For all
The people whom
I have wronged
By these
Choices of mine
To know
That I am sorry
And
Have paid
The final penalty
For my sins...


Moonlight Nocturne
By: Cadone

O'er the snow, glistening bright
Shines the soft and pale moonlight


Through the great trees the wind, how it stirs
The frost-laden branches of the pines an' the furs


The midnight-black sky is embedded with stars
Diamonds in coal forged with the Heaven's dark fires


And the moon, oh, the moon, it hangs in the sky
Calm and serene, as the morning draws nigh...


A Thousand Paper Roses
By: Cadone

One for the girl who broke my heart
A couple more for they who still hold it dear
Still more go to the people in my life
Who taught me how to laugh and love
Two for my parents who believed in me
Another for the friend who saved me so many times
Some go to the teachers at the schools
Where I’ve sat and learned at all my life
Three for my sister, I love her so
Four I lay down on a grave, why’d you have to leave
Five are sent to friends abroad I haven’t seen in many years
But the rest go to a single soul who’s almost gone
Their times almost up, won’t be here much longer
They don’t want to leave, but can’t say goodbye
For the sake of all the tears they’ve cried…


I will add more presently. Please feel free to leave a comment, constructive criticism, etc etc etc.

Ever looking forward,


Cadone
