Look at yourself!!Look!
You're the brightest star of them all.
See,darling,you're the most beautiful one,
But still,you chose to fall.

Your wings shattered,
And your soul went black,
Did you ever regret it,my dear?
You keep it silent,there's no way back.

You left heaven behind you,
Do you miss it? I know I do,
I miss the innocence and the glitter,
The sweetness of the clouds and the truth.

I miss my wings,
Yes,honey,I lost them too.
See,when you fell,
I jumped. I fell with you.

I just wish you'd take me in your embrace,
Hold me tight and never let me go
Your sinful lips on mine,
Send me the wind and I'll know.

I can feel

ClownYou became a puppet
Nothing more than just a clown
Jumping from here to there
Smiling until your tears make you drown

And you get flashback of the past
That cold November night
When the winds shattered your hopes
It was forbidden to dream of light

You can't help it
You bleed your tears away
The owner of your soul is wanted
Your ship is so far from this bay

You've got nine lives
But you're left with one
Who will take it?
Its killer is unknown

You're a puppet
Nothing more than just a clown
When you cry,
You never leave a sound

Ghost StoryWhat is this
on the next horizon
holding strong against the wind,
it is a figment,
it is an oil stain,
it is something
less than a blur
and more than a photograph.

Dark Liquid LuxuryI'm a seller of mysterious poisons.
They're the best in town.
They're sweet, they're sexy,
they slip right on down.

Come visit my secret shop.
Don't forget to grab some money.
Butterscotch. Oil. Acid. Honey.

It can be black or it can be purple.
What is your desire?
What are you feeling?
The ice or the fire?

That tingling is normal.
Don't be alarmed.
You won't be able to tell
that you are being physically harmed.

But as you can see,
the mental is a miss.
I find it funny how sadness
can lead you this.

I'm sure this is what you want, though.
I was blunt from the start.
You're the one that made the trip
to my sinister death

Monument to a Ruined ManI see you now.

The magnificent velvet and silk flags of your name
Now fester and rot in tatters.
The ornate gold and jewels, now dull and blackened with age,
Hang limply from the brittle, yellowing scaffolds
Of your admiring subjects, their mouths gaping open in one last,
Mocking cackle,
All loyalty long since disappeared.

And here you stand
Alone in the silence of your own undoing-
No longer a ruler, or even a man, but a shell-
The hands whose wizened palms I once worshipped
Have crumbled slowly into nothing.
Those lips, whose stately curve I once adored,
Now worn and cracked from centuries of smiling.

But your smiles were n

Reaper in the ShadowsI am the dust in the gathering light,
Heard in the drop of morning rain,
Looming within the rose bud,
A speck in night's velvet wake.

I whisper louder than Zephyr,
Sing with a voice that's croaked,
You hear me beneath the screams,
Of fears Silence cloaked.

As warm as Love's confusion,
As cold as the other's heart.
The shady, cunning warrior,
Who tears the world apart.

You'll find me drowned in water,
Buried deep in desert sand.
Unseen like the wisp of vapor,
That came from no man's land.

Freed to be caged forever,
In an endless labyrinthian maze.
Where each dead end is my escape,
And waxed wings are set ablaze.

AvalonAvalon

Disaster struck upon the Earth
Chaos spread like a wildfire
And the humanity split
Turning on one another

Soon nothing was left but the bare dust of the burned
The virus spread and killed everyone
And in time the dead came back to life
Hunting the living and punishing them for their sins

The Armageddon came and we couldn't escape
The world fell in to the dust of destruction
With each day the living decay as the dead arise
With each moment the remains of humanity fade

The sun blazes over the dying lands
The dry rivers and burned fields
Only the road keeps on going forever
Only the road keeps us alive

We move from

Ink GravesLetterless words and pageless books-
and ink blots on the flowers;
Ghosts scratch their heads and tap their pens,
all across the hours.

Winds can howl and cease to be,
by one twitch of my pen;
I spoke of writing a poem tonight,
and by dawn I've written ten.

Emily sits aside nobody,
the Raven, above, waits;
Frost dances in a yellow wood,
among the long lost dates.

A tall, well spoken willow,
looms over the grave;
Protecting every dated word,
and every thought they gave.

I crumple another masterpiece,
with thoughts I'd thought to save;
and as it strikes the baset bottom,
it rests in its ink grave.

Lithium BluesStanding on the rooftops with defiance in your eyes,
Prodding faces with a finger silhouetted in the alkaline sky,
Never knowing the questions or the reasons why.
You follow your dreams that take you ever higher,
But they fade away to reveal the misery of a liar.

I close my eyes and I want to drive a brand new car,
Sit picking roses for one more second maybe an hour.
I just want to be eighteen if you know what I mean,
Because history is nothing but a dull routine,
Recycling memories of the same old senseless scene.

Sitting on the rooftops with patience in your sighs,
Probing crazes with a cranium wrecked in the acid white,
Never k

The Floating Prisons of Arlibon

Amongst the frozen winter clouds
There is a place for crooks and thieves
A prison dangling in the sky
Broken men with broken dreams

You must feel no sorrow for them
They have gotten what they deserve
Their feet were chopped for stealing gems
One lesson they have painfully learned

Forever trapped within the sky
The inmates will stay until their death
Paying for the crimes they committed
These crimes that will cost their final breath

But legend echoes through these cells
Of a man who chose to take his freedom
The prisoners pray to him like a god
In hopes that he will rise and lead them

He goes by the name "The White Raven"
His

SkyeShe was as blind and beautiful as her namesake,
Ever changing and evolving with the seasons of her mind.
She hid not a single emotion.
She always said what she was feeling.
Her face betrayed her, and she knew it not.
If you needed someone to talk to, she was there.
Always.
Every sensation experienced showed clear;
Even if you didn't want to see.

Sometimes you even forgot she was there.

She was calm, catastrophic, serene, stormy, heartbreaking, deep, confusing, ponderous, perfect, haunting, mysterious, amazing, inexplicable...

(And, of course, always nice to look at.)

Desert Sand!Desert dunes are rolling
Constantly changing shape
Sharp and soft images emerge
Sand an alien landscape.

Buried city revealed
Antiquity in ancient glory
Seen quite clear, not concealed
Pharaonic it tells a story.

Apparition, king walks tall
Surveying land of sand
Came from city buried deep
Subjects immobile, eternal sleep.

Drawn to oasis water of life
Poignant vision for ghostly eye
This place remembered so very well
Crowded memories, teardrop fell.

Night-time stars, shady trees
Belong to life once lived
Ghostly images beset his eye
Love is craved, it did not die.

Oasis calls when moon is high
Emotional pain beyond belief

Comic Book HeroWe met in the Summer, I was single and free,
So fragile and sweet, he took care of me.
He was so much fun, exciting and new,
It was all so amazing, too good to be true.

Like a comic book hero, he swept me away.
He promised me the world, the night and day.
But his heart was untrue, his words were lies.
No comic book hero, but a villain disguised.

Our romance was deep, like Superman and Miss Lane
Iron Man, Miss Potts, Spidey and Mary Jane.
He impressed me with gifts, and words sublime,
Affirmations of how he would always be mine.

Like a comic book hero, he swept me away.
He promised me the world, the night and day.
But his hea

The FallingThe Falling

Upon malodorous rapture of orphaned darkness,
eternal melancholy becomes twisted and hollow
In the severed reflections of sanguine shadows,
we will drown in ruby tears of pain and sorrow

Whispers of odium seep gently into my dreams...
The Raven lingers in solemn clouds dark as coal
My blood surges like a chorus of bitter requiem
And my lips — the anathema of your dying soul

Dark lust hums like a cold tide of weeping voices
Perfumed in ash & bone, hallucinations imbue —
Blood soaked robes hang from my slender bride,
shimmering like scarlet threads under ebon skies
After sable petals fall upon my beloved's gra

Man From Space!Infinite universe, silent voice
Listen with soul, have no choice
Boundaries breaking, outer space
Terra firma not my place.

Alone on bridge, infinity I spy
Amazing even to Vulcan eye
Virgin worlds unsurpassed
Warp speed Scotty, hold on fast.

Rome

You are so young,my love.
The wind in your hair even knows your time
And the sky,it lives in your heart
In the end,nothing's even worth a dime.

You speak of war as if it's a game
But when does it end?
If I give you peace,
Would you try to live enough to tell

There are no monsters under your bed
And no beasts within your satin sheets
The nights are full of fire
And the fire's full of heat

"If to smoke you turn,
I shall not cease to fiddle while you burn"
Dear Rome...You gave us happiness and joy
But your walls hold darkness somewhere in return

-I will build you up again,my dear Rome,-
I looked at the waves of the sea.
-

If I told you I love you

If I told you I love you
Would you give me your soul?
Darling,you know my tears went up
To the heaven,up above

I found your body
Lying lifelessly on mine
I opened my eyes
It was the end of the time

You woke up
Didn't want to dream along
The notes weren't bad
This life was a different song

Never trust me
I am an untamed tigress
And you,my dear,
You were my reason to dance

You can have my heart,baby
You can even take my soul away
But don't go further than you can
You can never have my body tamed

Ti amoIn a dark alley
Surrounded by the street lights
You took your turning to the unknown
And stepped into those terrifying nights

With your every step,the echo of your shoes
Your soul trembled with a specific sound
And you were afraid,almost on your knees.
But you saw a red light and turned around

It pulled you in
So deep,so deep

Think,you fool!

But it has already captured you.
Oh so sweet the smell of the sin
You gave every atom of your body
I will love you,beauty is found within.

Yes I will
Run,run before you lose your chance
Before it takes your soul
The sky is getting empty
But the light had other plans

It's hand wen

PhoenixHis chest covered with blood
Her sweat sliding down her face
She was holding his hand
And took him into her embrace

With her arms around him
She cried while he looked into her eyes
He was dying but it was ok
The sun was too far in the skies

"I love you" she said
And he received it with a sigh
Now that he knows it
It is harder to die

Tears fell on his body
And turned into ash
She saw a fire being born
And a reflection in it like a flash

He rose with fire to the heaven
Her embrace became empty and she felt cold
Looking at him fly away she knew he won't leave her
"I love you",once upon a time she told

Nobody stayed innocent thereOne's dreams smudged on the pavements
Of the city we used to love
Right next to our hopes
And mixed with someone's blood

It's raining from the empty sky
But everything stays on the asphalt
You can feel the smell of the broken rose petals
And the sound of broken hearts

And just like that, the city shattered
Pulling us down with its glory
It represented the world
But now only its ruins are left and its story

Nobody stayed innocent there
We all made sins
A perfect city of the angels
With the broken wings

And we had something human in us
Our souls started glowing
We felt too much
And by then, the city was already falling

Casanova

by ~dirtydancerforlife, Sep 9, 2012, 8:07:49 AM
Literature / Poetry / Romantic / General / Free Verse

In the old town of Venice
The sin was born
One man, in the moonlight,
Took a woman's soul

She got doomed
But it seemed fair
That one night with him
With nothing left to tear

Centuries have passed
Even the rain turned cold
The sin lived
In the other men's blood

He looked at me and said
"Be the flame not the moth"
He was hypnotizing,
But he's Casanova, he can't love.

He likes numbers
And I was 24
I gave my body to his arms
I used to cry back then, but not anymore

That one night,
I remember it well
The stars came down
With no words to tell

Because we were one
Under the endless sky
The morning you left
Every part of me died.

"Oh baby
You think you're in love
Come on,
You have to grow up"

And yesterday I saw him,
I guess he hurt the one he loved,
His look wasn't hypnotizing
Maybe, he got a broken heart

You have to become a man
To treat a girl right
This life, you know,
Is one big fight

But still, I'd come back
I'd give myself to you
Only if you said
You love me too...

the reason me hates Casanova characters

~dirtydancerforlife Jan 18, 2013 Student Writer

Because they are bastards that make you fall in love but leave you after sex? Yes,pretty much...

~warahi Jan 18, 2013

Well, no one can MAKE you fall in love, but yes, that last part.

~dirtydancerforlife Jan 18, 2013 Student Writer

Ok,yes,but don't you think that some people can just somehow make you fall for them? Make you feel something different with their every touch?

~warahi Jan 18, 2013

Sometimes, but it's up to you to give in. Personally I doubt I'll ever be with anyone.

~kevinlee11 Sep 13, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

A beautiful, yet sad, poem. I love the imagery and descriptive language you employ; quite mesmerizing. I do find it sad that the couple could not be happy together though. You painted the scene quite well. I also think the picture (in which you look absolutely lovely by the way) captures the emotions expressed by the speaker very well. Well done!

~dirtydancerforlife Sep 13, 2012 Student Writer

I could guess you'll write something like this

Thank you very much...

~kevinlee11 Sep 13, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Is that a good thing? You are welcome anyways!

~dirtydancerforlife Sep 13, 2012 Student Writer

Haha yes,of course

...

~kevinlee11 Sep 13, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Great
