The Poem/Creative Writing Thread

[deadblackroses]

i figure since we all are a bunch of creative souls here, we should start a kind of poetry thread!!!

anyone got any they'd like to share?(i'll share some when i get back from tri-cities)

[deadblackroses]

ok i lie....i share one now, although you guys probably read it on my blog on myspace.......

"Like a Zombie it will eat your brain,
make you cry harder than a pounding rain.
The Darkness will consume you,
Surround you, bound you, force you to dance it's evil dance too.
Some drink it away,
some cut it out to keep it at bay.
Bottle it, hide it, no longer can you fight it
Now you're alone in the corner you sit.
Bleeding on the floor is that how you imagined your demise?
No one to save you or hear your forlorn cries.
Your Iron will is weak
a cure for your sickness you seek.
No strength left to pull yourself from the rubble,
Laying in the wreckage of what was once your life...you crumble.
Will someone grab you by the hand and pull you out?
Will someone pull you off you ominous route?
Can you do it on your own?
Disguise your demons with your tone?
Lightning scorches your soul,
You're lost and stumbling like a newborn foal.
Take your last breath as you fall,
Your limp body shows your pain, shows your sorrow, shows its dark beauty...it shows it all.
Empty dreary eyes,
gasps for breath of a new life through your mournful sighs.
Can you brave through it all, can you walk through the shadows, through all of it can you survive?
Or will you bury yourself in the debris and let depression eat you alive?"



enjoy! okie dokie im outta here, you gals keep out of trouble while im gone

The night carries my soul like an angel on wings.
supporting me like a bed supports you at night
carrying me so i can fly
the truth i now see behind your clouded eyes
Do i want to see the lies?

Hope springs up like a river,
overflowing,
filled with all it can take
I am a spring,
bubbling with joy, each time that i see you.

and as you whisper that truth in my ear, all i can do is reply to you,

"I love you too."

[deadblackroses]

that was beautiful cherero

[cherero]

thank you

[cherero]

the light of your love,
shining so bright, is all that can carry me,
through the night
i am surrounded in darkness
and i can't feel my way,
but as i day dream of you
i can see the light of day
you are the shining light
that carries me home
each time i lose my way.

i know i am lost , but thanks to you.
i can find my way home.
so i can say"i do"


So this poem i wrote right after i lost my fiancee to a semi.

[deadblackroses]

aw hun im sorry *hugs*

[cherero]

The whisper of truth
That seeps from your breath
The hope of a lifetime
Flowing like a river
I know i am here
thogh the reason's not clear...

I am glad to return

Arianna was feeling like she could touch the sky. She was up bright and early and quickly did her chores so that she could go out with Ryker that day. They planned to go down to the beach, now that the weather was warm enough. It was her favorite thing to do. She loved watch the fish swim in and out of her favorite cove. “I love living on the island” she thought. A car engine coming to a stop outside told her that Ryker had arrived to pick her up. She grabbed the basket of sandwiches and fruit she had prepared for their lunch and ran to meet him.
“How was your night?” Ryker asked once she got in the car noting the tired look on her face.
“It was fine.” She replied a mischievous smile on her face.
“Uh-oh, I know that look”
“You do, do you?
“Uh huh, what have you got planned today?”
“Let’s go to the cove”
He looked at her and smiled.
“OK”
When they finally arrived at the beach they began the long trek to Phantom cove. As they walked the tide came in. As they approached the cove, it began to recede again. When Arianna saw the cove a smile lit her face. She ran and laughing at Ryker began to climb the rocks that blocked the entrance into the cove.
“Be careful”
“How many times do you think I have done this?” she replied with a smirk on her face.
“A lot” he replied jokingly
“You should know, you’re the one who showed me this place”
“True.” He smiled at the memory
“Are you hungry?”
“Incredibly”
They sat down by the waters edge and she pulled out the lunch. As they ate Arianna looked even more tired then she had before. After they had eaten Ryker suggested they go back to the car.
“Let’s go to dairy queen”
She smiled “Ok”
They began the long trek to the car. Suddenly Arianna took off running and Ryker was hard pressed to keep up with her.
“Arianna!” Ryker called “wait up!”
“You hurry!” she called back
“Hey!” Ryker laughed as he quickened his pace. He is 6’2 and in a mere three strides he had caught up with 5’0 Arianna. Gripping her by the arms, he carried her, struggling the whole way, to the waters edge.
“Put me down!” Arianna giggled
“Why should I?” Ryker asked just before he dunked her in the water.
“THAT’S COLD!” Arianna screamed as she pulled him into the water with her. They begin to splash at each other
“Hey! He laughs “stop tha….are you okay?”
Arianna has gone dead white and her breathing is quickening. “ no” she whispers she tries to stand but her legs give out beneath her.
Ryker picks her up and though at first she is tense, he soon feels her body go limp in his arms. Ryker looks around for help, but it is no use, they are to far from the pier. He lays Arianna down on the sand, and placing to fingers on her neck he checks for a pulse. There is nothing there. He knows he has to act fast. Tipping her head back he listens for breathing. Nothing. Ryker begins chest compressions, infinitely grateful he learned how at this moment.
“1…2…3…4…5” whoosh, whoosh
“1…2…3…4…5” whoosh, whoosh
“Come on breathe damnit!”
After three more cycles Arianna begins to cough and soon she is breathing again. As she begins to come around, her eyes focus on Ryker above her.
“I’m sorry” she says quietly
“Don’t be” he replies “it’s not your fault”
“I ruined a perfectly good day” Arianna replied
“No you didn’t” Ryker said gazing at her
“I knew I was going to have an attack, and I came out anyway.”
“That’s unavoidable! Why should you slow down your life because of your condition?”
“Exactly, but I feel so bad when it happens in public, like I have ruined everybody’s day.”
“You haven’t ruined my day” Ryker said quietly
She looked at him, a question filling her bright blue eyes. He looked back and he had such a sudden passion on his face that she had to turn away, afraid of what might come next.
“Arianna” he said softer still “you know that I love you, and you know that I don’t care what condition you have. I will always be the one to resuscitate you, and I will always be here for you.”
She just looked at him, and then, her eyes filling with unspoken tears, she smiled. Holding out her hand, she reached to him, and he took her hand.
“Ryker” she said her voice barley more than a whisper. “I love yo……” her words cut off suddenly as her entire body began convulsing violently.
“Arianna?... ARIANNA!” Ryker screamed as her body jerked. Holding her head still with his hands he waited for the tremor to pass. Finally the convulsions stopped. Arianna was as limp as a rag doll in his arms. Pulling her to him, he cradled her in his arms and began to slowly walk back to the car. It was then that he noticed that Arianna wasn’t breathing.

Later that night….
Ryker was alone in his bedroom. His eyes were wide and filled with tears. He had tried, over and over to revive Arianna, but it had been no use. She had been dead before the tremor had stopped. There had been nothing he could do. The tears began to cascade down his cheeks as he thought over and over again about what he could have done. Finally, the tears stopped and in his mind came clarity so clear that he was almost shocked he hadn’t realized it sooner. He loved Arianna and at this moment he did not see the point in living. Reaching under the bed, he pulled out the bottle of sleeping pills the doctor had given him. He took the entire bottle. As Ryker drifted off to sleep for the last time, he noticed the pile of broken goldfish on his floor. He smiled and the last thought that filled his head was one of Arianna.
