message 2: by Akanksha (new)

Akanksha  Singh (akankshasingh92) | 3 comments Okay i had nothing to do today(bunked college yet again) and i was sitting in the park when this one just came to me.
THE DOVE
The soaring sky beheld a sight,
Far above any mortal's might.
In the blue expanse stretching above,
I sighted a sweet little dove.
Symbol of peace flying carefree,
Perching from tree to tree.
There it was, spreading the message of love,
In this unruly world the sweet little dove.
Its fearless flight spoke louder than words,
That wars and violence are absurd.
It loved its freedom far above,
And tried to guard it, the sweet little dove.
Soon it disappeared from sight,
Gone someplace else to stop a fight.
Mankind might not heed its message of love,
But it didn't give up, the sweet little dove.

John x (radishfriends) | 851 comments Mod
I liked the last two lines rhyming and then summarizing the whole poem. All of the starting parts were great explanations of a dove and the last two lines were very great.


message 4: by (S) (new)

(S) I <3 it!

Aurora Borialice

The stars
shine in my eyes
like angels
or demons
The sky is
dark
all around them
i smile
the cold ticles me
The leaves rustle
reminding me of my friend
i miss them
come home
i think
come home
by the stars
remember the stars
the we played under
that we dreamed under
because when i look at them
all i see
think
breath
is You
And i miss the way they looked
when you were here
so come home
from the
Aurora Borialice

Kat (sugaraddict) | 688 comments As dusk sets,
my heart rests.
Safe for the day,
Tomorrow? Can't say.
Stealthy and quiet,
yet I can hear it.
Lurking, hiding in the darkness
Feeding on carcus.
I fear it today,
and the fear will stay.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) Friends


They don't understand,
They're to wrapped up in
Their own little world.

They watch the days go by,
Never once stopping
To look behind,
Never once stopping
To realize my pain,
Never once stopping
To try and understand.

They look at me strangely
As I try to explain,
They don't bother
To understand
My inexplicable cries.
And now,
I'm hiding.

They never stop
Their senseless chatter,
And I'm hiding from them,
My so-called friends.

Akanksha  Singh (akankshasingh92) | 3 comments Thanks John! Yeah getting the last two lines to rhyme was the whole purpose Glad you noticed....


message 8: by (S) (new)

(S) it was very good!


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) Just cos it's Christmas...

Bells

Ding... Dong...
Ding... Dong...


A bell sings.
Children laugh.

Ding... Ding..
Ding... Dong...

The bell,
Large and strong,
Singing its wonderous song,
The wonderful shell.

Ding... Dong...
Ding... Ding...


Snowflakes fall,
The children's laughter
growing louder and crisper,
Just how the snowflakes fall, fall, fall.

Dong... Dong...
Ding... Dong...


The ground shakes,
Only once,
Lost in the absense,
Of horrid panic.

Ding... Dong...
Ding... Dong...

A deafening sound,
Of utter horror,
And the bell falls,
Its final ring,
Lost in the blizzard of screams.

Kat (sugaraddict) | 688 comments O.O I've read it before and I still got goosebumps

read
them once
because
they'll fade.

no knives,
just fingers
causing their
own world

the feeling

Ow. Greatness is hurting me.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) ^-^' thakies.


message 17: by (S) (new)

(S) that is scary.... <_>

I sit and drift off into my own world again.
A twisted memory of a light day.
The cherry blossoms smell like they always do.
I smile at the smell. Sakura.

My friend waves to me, then attacks me with his sword.
I laugh and block with my force field power.
His brother comes from behind on the rope.
Then stops because we find a cattipiller
Its so fuzzy.
I laugh because it smells like Sakura.
Then the swords are gone.

And the brothers too.
And the friends are gone.
And i talk to you.
and i smell.
I smell.
The Sakura.

Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) Together


We'll be together. 
Just like always. 
Best friends. 
Forever and ever. 

Let's jump together
Into the night
Where everything seems to be better. 

Let's watch the dancing flames
And play with fire
And watch them burn 

Let's take a knife
And turn it over
in our hands.
And draw with crimson lines. 

Let's play together,
And mark our arms with soft reminders. 
And watch them fade
And mark them once again. 

Let's take a pill,
Or maybe few,
And sleep forever
And ever.

We're together
Forever and ever. 
Best friends
Always together.

John x (radishfriends) | 851 comments Mod
that was pretty dark, but it was still happy. I was good. I like the conflicting emotions.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) Thank you.


message 24: by (S) (new)

(S) it seemed horrid! It was...sick....


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) I'll take that as a compliment...?


message 26: by John, (~^u^~)V (new)

John x (radishfriends) | 851 comments Mod
she doesn't like "dark" things, idk if you should take it as a compliment, but don't take it as a dis either. She just was telling what it was in her mind.

She can correct me if im wrong.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) I take the "horrid" part as a compliment. That was part of the point. But the "sick" part, I'm a little iffy on.


message 28: by John, (~^u^~)V (new)

John x (radishfriends) | 851 comments Mod
for me, it would be the other way around. Sick would be the compliment part for me.


message 29: by (S) (new)

(S) no, it was a compliment! i do not mind dark things!! I saw saying how it made me feel...


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) Ah. I see. Thank you~


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) Him.


He
and I
go hand in hand. 

He
and I
are two different things. 

He
can't speak
and I
speak for him. 


He
says I
should silently cry. 

He
says I
should fall away.
Go far
Away. 

He 
says I
am weaker than all. 
Which
i am
i don't
deny. 


He
tells me
that i
am dumb
so stupid
so naive
and demanding. 

He
tells me
that i am a child. 

He
tells me
that i
am worthless. 
Which
i am
i cant
deny. 


He
claimed i
as his own
and tormented
and taunted
and terrified
me. 

He
claimed i
did hell
to myself. 

He
claimed i
stood and did nothing
as she cried. 
which
i did
i know
i did.


He
knows i
did nothing

He
knows i
know nothing

He
knows i
can say nothing

He
knows i
am nothing

i would have liked it more if it didn't swear, but that's just me.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) It was meant for emphasis, but I see your point.

Jude (judehnd) Hello, I'm Jude Henderson and here's a poem of mine

Title: Forever
Genre: Poetry/Romance
Description: When you are scared to say forever. . . i think it's at best not to see with your eyes, but with you heart ♥

Forever - Poem

She covers her eyes
and avoids to see.
She whispers his name
in dreams, in her sleep.
She takes his hand
and presses it to her cheek.
She tells him the words
she’s too afraid to speak.
He listens to her patiently
and loves her with every touch.
‘Forever’ he says
‘Forever’ she says.
She covers her eyes
and begins to see.

message 38: by Jude (last edited Jan 18, 2011 08:02PM) (new)

Jude (judehnd) Another one of mine

Title: Fall
Genre: Poetry/Romance
Description: Falling in love is hard...

Fall

The tree shades
down its leaves for spring;
She gazes outside
to watch the leaves
fall down to the grass
and make it soft
for the fall that comes
for the two of us.
As I gaze in your eyes
and you swim into mine
I can’t help but wonder,
What will it happen
when the last leave falls?
Will our bridge in the ground
be strong enough for the both of us?
She gazes outside
to watch the tree,
The tree shades its leaves
just in time for spring.

message 39: by Jude (last edited Jan 18, 2011 08:02PM) (new)

Jude (judehnd) And here's one more:

Title: Red Ribbons
Genre: Poetry/Drama
Description: Its pretty itself explanatory.

Red Ribbons

She sees her
Soft white skin,
The soft blue veins
That mark a way
Beneath her skin
In her pale white wrist,
She feels her pulse
It’s pressure underneath,
Almost like it’s someone
Who wants to scream,
She traces lines to
Relieve the pain,
She holds in her hands
Her deadly reflection,
And traces her lines
Again and again,
She extends her arm
For everyone to see,
To show the world
Those dark red ribbons
That adorn her sleeve,
Those simple lines that
Caused the pain,
Those beautiful ribbons
That released the pain.
And only to realize
That the ribbons in her sleeve. . .
They belong to me.
Only to realize
That the girl with red ribbons.
That girl is me.

message 40: by Jude (last edited Jan 20, 2011 09:23AM) (new)

Jude (judehnd) Title: White Red Rose
Genre: Poetry/and something else
Description We all want to change, at some point in our lives, we need it. But changing, always comes with a price.

White Red Rose

There’s a white rose beneath my window.
Its petals pose in this winter cold,
Of dying wishes and desperate hopes.
My hand gently moves toward the cold white rose,
Until I realize its filled with a million thorns.
A sting in my hand, a deep red pain,
Running blood that falls upon the white red rose.

There’s a red rose beneath my window,
Its petals shine in the golden light,
Of living dreams and freshly hopes.
My hand gently moves toward the now red rose.
The beautiful rose gazes outside in this winter cold,
Though she feels safe and warm
Inside my hands, that have now become the newly home
Of the pure red rose

Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) He in the Song

i sit at the piano
i stare at the keys
black and white
i can hear it playing
before i play
just like she tells me
how to practice.

as i stare
He whispers to me
that voice
in the back of my mind.

He says, predicts
what could
possibly go wrong.

so i play
and He messes with
my fingers that play.

so i blame Him.
but once more
i am proven wrong.

He cannot control
my fingers that play.
only i
have that power
by which
i cannot control.

Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...

He's already
pushing
me. Why are
you
helping Him? You're drifting
away.
You're moving far
from
me, to somewhere I don't know. And
me?
I just might leave too.
Makes
me feel sick inside.
Everything
makes me
feel
strange inside. Like I'm
wrong.
Like everything's
wrong.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) silence

(S) *inspired by SHINee*

Love
can't be caged
or it dies

Loved
cannot be tied down
or traped

If you tie me down and trap me
Then the love is also tied down
The future is also tied down
It can’t grow anymore
Freely empty yourself and look at me
I’ll fill you only, I’ll completely fill you only

Don't tie me up
or trap me down
or all i see is
an angelic crown

Loverholic Robotronic
Loverholic Robotronic

Dont' tie me down
Don't trap me up

Don't capture me

because
now
i
am
free


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...

Sometimes,
you forget
all of the
world
when you
look up at
the branches
and leaves.
But then
you look
down
and see
the sidewalk
under your
feet.


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter)
http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/2...

hey there lovely
you've gone all pale
eyes bleak and bland and black and
dead.

should you be out there
dead
in the sun?

or should you be here
dead
to them?

sorry honey you've gone
all trash. maybe it's better
for you to say your goodbyes.

throw out the ideas stop
being something else. because
sweetheart you're
not.

~§~

stop


stop drawing those little things
singing those ridiculous songs.
stop dancing those dances
you know you're all wrong.

stop staring at a screen
attempting some stranger's rhapsody.
stop trying to be good about it
because you're chatting with nobody.

stop it child
you're being somebody else.
stop it child
you're nobody else.
