Poetry or Writing

[darkness]

Well I'm going to ask this now. I know Terminal Velocity has, and I will admit now I have done this quite a bit.

But has anyone here or does anyone write poetry or any sort of creative writing. I have a small collection of poems I have written. I usually don't admit it, under a handful of people have seen them at all.

I'm not sure why I want to post them but I'm in a sharing mood. I'm just a bit worried that they'll be stolen and used somewhere else.

Anyway maybe a mod can make this sticky and we can all share our stuff (or whoever wants to).

And to all the immature people who think this is wussy or what ever
BITE ME !!

I'll post my first one in a sec.

[darkness]

Well heres my first one. This is actually kinda scary waiting to find out what people think. But whats life if you don't take chances.

It's a nice little one to start.

Wonder

I see her everyday
We share a class in school
I can never take my eyes off her
Her beauty is more than any I've seen
We do talk about many things
She doesn't realise how much I like her
I don't know if she has a boyfriend
I'm only hoping she does not
I wish I could ask her out
But no I cannot speak a word
It may destroy us as friends
So I am left wondering
Does she like me?
Will she go out with me?
I can only sit and wonder.

:o

It's 20 years or more since I was there,but I remember those emotions very vividly.

and I am currently working on a novel,using technical information and emotions that I have gathered in my travels.

No poetry from me. I dont like it much at all. Since I am writing specifications, code and sql all day, I dont spend time doing any short stories either. Although I do like those.

A good idea!

Consider it stuck

Cheers

Though if no one else posts it may be better to let it die off.

I'd like to hear more, Darkness. I really like "Wonder." Oh, how often I've felt that way. I do a lot of drawing. (I'm launching a website this weekend with my art). But I have no gift for eloquent speech. :-P

[darkness]

I guess I can pull out some more then.

I don't think I have a knack for eloquent speech. Hell i probably couldn't even manage to say stuff out loud. I just found I could put it on paper.
Anyway most of it is soppy stuff, but then again it's what I was going through at the time. I haven't actually written one in a while.

[darkness]

Heres another one. I decided to pull out one a little different than most I've written.

A Drifters Mind

From one place to another
I travel into the sunset
Going where my feelings take me
I do not have a home
For I do not know where I belong
Something calls to me
But I do not know where
For I am a drifter
I travel the path alone
My only companion the wind
I keep on moving
Searching for a part of me
To fill the hole inside
Will that end my journey
I have yet to know
But now I must continue
I've been here for too long
And now I must head back.

Nice!

I like that last one, very meaningfull.

silence be sheltering
fallen in peace
yet sound nonexistent
remains in the crease
of times long past
and legacies great
all in the distance
in line they must wait
however whenever
sooner not quite
emerging from the shadows
to hide in the light
is one unspoken
to horrible to hide
from our own actions
he doth slither and slide
underlying the terror
good shall be sought
to undo the horrors
this one has wrought
within nothingness
and existence undone
nothingness surrounding
lives this one

[darkness]

that was pretty cool grimmy.

My next one:

Step inside my mind

Come into my window
The passage into my mind
Come and read my thoughts
See what you can find
A way to understand me
No one really knows
The way I envision life
My fantasy and my woes
Can you handle my perception
Can you acknowledge my pain
The picture through my eyes
An eternal bliss of rain
Depression is not the word
Sad I am not
My own lifes perspective
Is what I've really got
So try to comprehend my thoughts
Walk through the sacred light
If you see my inner notions
Understand me you just might.

[grimmy]

wow darkness that was a good one
here is another one for you


the words that dance
across my lips
while lying here in bed
the story of you
that my heart sings
deep within my head
and if i were
to say im sorry
would it be to late
or if instead
i said lets go
would you hesitate
and if some how
you found out
that i would take my life
you'd comfort me
and hold me close
and slowly guide my knife
so sing a song
of lonliness
i'll never know your name
and if i told you everything
would we be the same

[darkness]

wow I like that one.

I'll post somemore when I get home.

Well since this is a car forum, heres one I put together about racing.
It sounds a bit silly reading it now.

The Racers Story

They arrive
in all their readiness
with iron clad stallions
Pieces and parts
come together in turn
making the whole of the beast
It's body finely tuned
It's heart burning with power
A lone figure steps out
donning armour softer than steel
His personal helm
the only expression shown
he apporaches his steed
knowing it is trustworthy
the two become one
a biomechanical form
the battelfield awaits
admitting only those worthy
those capable of the challenge
the competitors a group
but with only a single spotlight
fame for only one
can he find the skill
the sought ability of
flying on the ground
is the courage there
can he ride the edge
the fine line between
control and chaos
as he does
the challengers recede
adrenalin flowing like water
he launches to the end
past the line of black and white
he has beaten the challenge
the track is his
claimed by right of passage
Now to bask in the glory
to savour it for the moment
until the time is upon them
to accept the challenge again.
