moon … beams that burn - that turn my surgings to slag my teeth to serrations, hungering … can those silly sentients not see the verity in my veneration, you? do they truly think it’s only art, only … verse? that my blood runs in these inky scratchings alone? ‘why pen these dark tales with such legitimacy - such … clear scope?’ oh … why, indeed! for were...

A poetry virgin... that was me going through a purple patch, a dismal dark period in life Desperately needing an outlet to focus on instead of the now... this trying time I had to endure I joined Poetry Soup to have fun My ultimate aim was just to bring a smile to others. But 'HE' couldn’t stand the fact that what I called my simple...

Not Knowing
Not knowing is scary, It’s unnerving. I wonder everyday where you are And how you’re doing, And if there’s a new me in your life. But you said there’s no one like me. Was that a lie? It wouldn’t be the first time you’ve lied. The scars on my limbs are the only reminder of you. Such a sad thought. That only way I remember...

The World Has Been Cruel to You, Yet There Is Still Beauty and Meaning That Comes from You as Well
The wind has bruised your tender face, And winter wrote upon your brow— Yet in your eyes, I still can trace A fire the world could not put out. The stars have watched you weep alone, Their silver light a cold caress, But from your soul a song has grown That sorrow could not quite suppress. You move through thorns with quiet grace, The...

Winter's Cruel kiss
She's out of this world, thinking of no one but herself, The pain she caused on that fateful day, A forgotten wound that refuses to heal, A heartless queen, selfish in her own way." In the shadows of her mind, the memories linger on, The day she chose to shatter his heart, A decision made without thought or care, A broken prince,...

How to Hunt Love
Throw an arrow, remember to sharpen it before it reaches it's end target Who is naïve enough to cross your parameters of closeness Capture this person whose mere sight you adore Aim at their legs, your prey will land face first on the floor Don't be scared, Don't you worry This is how love is meant...

A Cruel Way to Die
An eye for an eye, this is what he hears An eye for an eye, this is the penalty that he bears There was no way he could escape it even though He denies it the murderer’s voice kept ringing In his ears and he carries this sorrow for twenty three years She could not bear to look at his...

Am just but a foriegner ,in this vile land, I find no comfort,i see no peace, This is alien,the food tasteless, The water salty,the trees dry quick. Am just but a traveler ,passing through this valley, No hope nor future,am doomed to death, I cant uprooot a grass,the mountains i cant shake , The custom is weak ,their grace a nuisance. Am just...

Premium Member You don't cry
You don’t cry Doesn’t, I know, if yes, then it is just a dramatic comedy only. Feed your cruel soul, gurgle your dark blood in your heart. Your being grows fat in a suffering fool This guy loved your dove, she was in disguise, well I was wrong. I drink the dark clotted blood of my mistake – cursed price. My...
