    I write a lot of poetry, and I've got a lot of poetry, and I'm going to post them on this thread from time to time, they sort of flow out of my mind. :D
    As for the reviewing, I'd appreciate reviews, although I think the thread here on what a "good" poem is is ridiculous, poems by nature can be chaos, they result from true feelings, no matter what people deem "cliche" or foolish. But maybe I'm just really tired from all the Mountain Dew I had today... :P
    Here's two, for now:

    She is Fake

    She is fake, oh, tis true.
    To think that a siren's tongue doth lash with both love and scorn
    To think that I would consume that witch's brew.
    Oh she is truly beautiful, dangerously so.
    It makes me clench my fists and bemoan that cruel harlot.
    Pale alabaster lips, a cold statue's kiss.
    Oh god, I hate her so.
    She is not worth a grain of dust, but neither am I.
    To yearn that we could love in misery
    Adore in filth, oh that would be true.
    That would deliver me from hell to the church's pew.


    A Young Man's Will (By the way, the censoring is the "D" word, I didn't know it was serious enough to be censored, sorry. :confused: )

    Oh when I depart from this cruel place
    Into the loving misery of death?s cold embrace
    Do not close my pale eyes, do not kiss my face.
    Do not mourn my passing, the life that death devoured.
    Not a single black garment, not one ****ed flower!
    Not because I am ?in a better place?.
    That is but a farce, life is but a waste.
    A series of unending pain,
    Interrupted by meaningless gain.
    I am not bitter, I am not to blame.
    Despise life?s design, and the fragile human mind,
    Binded so easily by the death throes of time.
    Blinded so simply by death, you will find.
    So do not bemoan me when I am felled.
    For I?ll be waiting for you all, at the gates of Hell!
     
    Dude, awesome poems...
    I liked the first one especially this description of fake love. Kind of a shallow feel and stuff...

    by the way, BONO IS A GOD!!!! XD
     

    Thanks for the feedback, hopefully I'll get more reviews...I've never had anyone comment on my poetry other than my parents, and you know how "honest" they can be. :\

    The Voice of the Wind

    Oh windborn beauty
    Euphoric grace, born by mist
    Oh how refreshing it is, Zephyr's kiss.
    Chaos takes me forward, down to pax.
    Almost floating, my strength not taxed.
    To go with Zephyr is to feel alive
    But to deny his embrace
    Is for the trouble inclined
    Oh blasting bastard,
    Dastardly wind!
    A pure force of nature,
    How can one endure the archfiend?!
    But it has ended, the peace has descended
    He has returned
    To his father, the King.
    Zephyr's presence, it does not rescind
    Oh can you not hear it?
    The voice of the wind!

    Sublime
    He rests against her back, embracing
    Like so much heavenly love.
    He feels her pulsing heart,
    holds her like a glove.
    It?s all burning pleasure, and therefore
    It does not exist.
    He lies against the dust alone,
    hands balled into fists,
    And bemoans his lonely fate
    As he stares at the place where
    His arm and hand connect
    like a woebegone bridge.
    It is all numb and meaningless but he can only cringe.
    For the loss of what you never had but deluded yourself to adore
    Cannot compare to one
    who has tasted love,
    it?s sublimely beautiful






     

    Yep, Bono is really great, from one of the greatest bands of all time. :P

    Two more:

    Looking-Glass

    Oh my hate for you is true and great
    That specter in the looking-glass to which I cannot relate.
    It fills one with spite, pure hate,
    words do not suffice
    Oh, I'd relish in destroying you,
    you are my dearest vice.
    I'd like to hug the blemishes of your neck with my very hands
    Wipe that grin dancing upon your face.
    I'd rip you flesh from flesh to see the ichor in your veins.
    I'd silence my woe by giving you my pains.
    You are so awful, but I know I hate everyone even more.
    For if there is anyone I do abhor,
    it is you that I adore.
    I stare into the looking-glass
    and it stares right back through me.
    A shared countenance of rash pain, hate, and misery.


    Creation

    What a deathly pain my body is
    I look upon my craggy fists
    Knuckles, cold mountains of mist.
    My mottled skin, those ****ed eyes.
    That cursed stomach that laughs when I sigh.
    The looseness of my body, and of my soul
    Rack me completely, to my very core.
    If only I could return,
    and knock on Creation's door.
    If only she could recreate me now,
    If only she could see me now, that bloody sow,
    Who birthed humanity like some loose fool!
    Who created my body,
    and contemplated on what she should call it.
    Well, I saved her the time, that simple harlot!
    Farewell and goodbye,
    thy name is Misery Incarnate.
     
    You're a pretty good poet... I see some little motif in some of your poems where you seem to get a little inspiration from some U2 songs... XD (dunno if you notice... >>)
     
    Well, I never noticed that, and I wasn't really thinking of U2 when I wrote them. You probably see them because lots of U2's songs are full of generalities and cliches (although I do love them. :D). Thanks though. :)
