Reviver Posted March 20, 2022 Eclipsing Totality Standing up after taking a fall, All that awaits is an adversity That may as well be a brick wall. . . Still, though, I ground my feet bravely. Victory or defeat are trivial -- Real moment of truth to see Is if my burning resolve will sustain Into an unwavering determination. A new-found promise to give it my all; A fire that consumes my body; A light that ignites as it moves me: My trembling heart won't betray this intensity. Lacking invincibility fails to deter me. The lies of negativity turn to ember As the inferno devours uncertainty; I fight to not die internally. As the sun shines, chasing away the dark; As the stars sparkle, illuminating the night; As is this human spirit's unseen light: A promise to fall and then rise up forever. Focusing as a laser, aiming to make a mark Upon the target that stands in the way The past, present, and future fade temporarily As body and soul strike with eclipsing totality. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted April 1, 2022 Breaking Bridge Traveling on a breaking bridge, Challenging the abyss, Awaiting a fall endless, I summon all my courage. . . Playing a hand that's bad, Bluffing as though I'm mad, Betting everything I've ever had, I prepare to end with my final hand. . . I'll either win it all this time Or else I'll lose and resign As I leave everything behind I have ever known or owned. . . Every time I took a chance; Every time I entertained romance; Every time I have had a dance: I gamble with hope as I advance. . . Tomorrow is not promised for me, So this night I dream stubbornly While awake with dynamic energy: The present I grasp endlessly. . . As I travel on the breaking bridge, I don't hesitate for an instant. Each second I've been lent Is one moment I'll spend being content. 1 Share this post Link to post
thestupidmeddy Posted April 6, 2022 Wicked Summer Morning brisk sun rises. Beach fills slowly with many people. Their rotten smell glosses Every fresh drowned corpse on ground. At siesta, tired man lays Sweating by the merciless gold sphere. Hidden army loud faze Of musquitos who are keen on prey. As the warm sun descends On the pastel rose infinite sky, A forest fire expands Killing innocent living beings. Glistening sky of night Crowds city streets with lots of bright souls Among them evil's might Stealing fortune, killing existence. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted April 13, 2022 The opponent from Hell is coming The opponent from Hell is coming; I know for certain, I'll be running Towards the personification of despair. . . I'd rather lose going all-out, Fighting without hesitation or doubt -- Not a cowardly thought being entertained. . . The opponent from Hell is coming; No mercy or pride, just strength and cunning; Reading me like an open book. . . Before this story reaches its end, I'll bring it to 'em Striding forward while being determined. . . If I lose, I'll go down swinging, Stringing together the fury of a fiend And true invincible fighting spirit. . . My body will break before my will, But still, if it comes to that, I won't give in before fading away. . . The opponent from Hell is coming; You won't catch me being a coward: I'll be sizing up the enemy -- bring it on! 1 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted April 24, 2022 Clear Vision -------------- At this time, I take the chance to unwind; Unraveling invisible wires of confusion: Brain is tingling with many a sensation -- Today, right now, an answer I need to find. . . Eyes are not to be trusted, Unable to see chords of jubilation; Revelation filling the air with temptation On a song with lyrics that have stated: "The daylight is fading from the sky. The next day is on its way. Though inside my mind it's still yesterday; A query from the past is asking "why". . . The truth is here in front of me. Blinded from sight due to insecurity, A nagging thought train continuously Warns me what not to do or to be." I'm no hypocrite; I'm no hero; This I know: Something inside is clouding judgment. . . I don't live to please; I won't beg or bend a knee; Mixed up as I may currently be, Words clearly form these: "I dare to place hope far away, Stashed aside and waiting. Rewarding my faith, I'm anticipating A clear vision to guide and stay. . . My hands can grasp the reality; Anxiety and fear once hid in the shade. My love and dedication will eradicate All obstacles appearing before my destiny." Clear vision of a time yet to be; A glimpse of the true future: It tempts me with its allure. My spirit sees a new path clearly. 1 Share this post Link to post
1Destro3456 Posted April 26, 2022 Your beauty I must forget Your charm must be forgotten I see you love another So I won’t try to chase you Instead I’ll take care of me I’ll try not to write poems, Of my feelings for you, Hopefully I don’t miss you When I am no longer here. Still I feel conflicted Forgetting the feelings won’t be easy Not until I see how foolish I am Or how impossible It was from the start. This was a journey I regret. 0 Share this post Link to post
1Destro3456 Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) If there is a God out there Then it has given me a good life Yet for love it couldn’t be worst. Perhaps it’s my age, Since I’m a teen So maybe it’s not fair To call upon a deity for help But man, I’ve been stuck for years In the same crush. I don’t want to go on Because it’s crushing my heart And now I’m on a rush To win hers. But I gave up I already know She doesn’t share the feelings I do for her So, do I just, tell her? I don’t want to I won’t do it Not unless I have the Bravery to do it. 0 Share this post Link to post
LSC Lasico Posted May 2, 2022 The moon Moon, moon We are the moon, Forget all worries and go. To the land of eternal happiness That will land in the heart vessels Of those that follow the moon. Moon moon, We are the moon, Forsake all ego and go. For we are here with you, For you are here with us, Let’s indulge in our eternal feast That will heal the heartless Hearts of all that follow the moon. For happiness is all that we need, And through happiness we will succeed, To go. In this horrible attraction called life. Moon moon,. We are the moon. We are the one. We are the hive. We will be happy. You will be happy. Forget them all. You are the moon. Moon moon.. For you are the moon.. For we are the moon.. You are the us.. You are the happy.. And we are all happy… For we are the us… For you are the moon… Where did you go? I suddenly wake up in my bed. Is this some sort of dream? Sure seems like it. I… I don’t know know what am i, I… These minds, the hive. They talk to me. They talk about happiness. They are the hive mind, and i am one of them. I want to forget everything, I want to be happy, To be one with something greater. And to do this, i am ready to forget myself. To forsake my own ego. So i get back to sleep. These voices, still aching in my head.. I close my eyes, i see the moon… Moon moon, We are the moon, Ring ring What in the fuck was that? I hear a telephone ring. I don’t want to get up. But who would call me in a time and place like this? Slowly and painfully i stand up from my bed. Suddenly feeling the weight of my own ego, Now only shared by me and me alone All these burdens, all these failures Suffocate me. I slowly, slowly, and painfully walk to the phone. I slowly and painfully reach to the phone. I slowly and painfully pick it up. A familiar, soothing voice fills my head. “Hello, uh Long time no talk, huh? Do you remember me? You probably don’t remember me You never were good at remembering people But i am here, calling you Just wanted to say hi How are you?” Moon moon, Forsake all of them. They will burden you, They will destroy you. You remember why you came here. Living your life was the mistake, That made the life Of such an aspiring person A hell, even worse. So come back to our eternal feast. For she will only lead you east. To the land of the eclipsing sun. Moon moon, LISTEN TO US. “Actually, you don’t have to answer this question” An awkward silence fills the room A n aw k wa r d moon s il en c e we fi ll s th e moon “Do you remember the time when we were walking by the sea shore? You told me, how the ocean seems so calm and collected But also strong enough to strike everyone who tries to push it down I remember you then started talking about philosophy and politics or whatever” “I just wanted to say that… I miss those times The times where you would go on infinite tangents about the ubermench or whatever And i would not be able to understand shit But you were a fun guy to be around And you would not hesitate to show your intellect to the rest of the world Well read, well informed, with an amazing tongue If you know what i mean Where are you now?” Moon moon, We are the moon. Detach yourself from reality, For only a burden it proved to be. Your mind collapsed under it’s weight. Your mind was not able to stand with it’s height. The bitterness of the world, Left there only void. But now you’re with us. You’re part of the moon. You’re part of the family. You are part of something greater, Something happy. “Can you see the world outside? Is there even a world outside? To be honest, i don’t even know at this point I just want to ask if you’re okay And if you need help I am here” We are the help you need, We are the reprieve you seek, You don’t need anything else, You only need all that is us, Be one with the moon. “Just know that, Whatever happens, Whenever you are, When we will meet again I will say…” You should know that If you accept us If you forget them We will, collectively say… …I love you. …We love you. 0 Share this post Link to post
Taw Tu'lki Posted May 6, 2022 We are birds I want to be a bird And fly around the world, Be happy in the sky And catch some tasty flies. Birds needn't have to visa, They search for shiny season. Men look at me from window, I have a wings of freedom. My problems are forgotten, I'm seeing a fields of cotton, There my sworn brothers stay, But man drive them away. Hey, brothers, I'm here!

Let people look at us, We search a paradise. Okay, bros, let's fly further. The sky is our father! 1 Share this post Link to post

Reviver Posted June 21, 2022 Collective Bonds The threads that connect and sustain fate Bind together people like us. Try as we might to go our own way, The fibers of destiny will not us escape. Sewing from spools named "coincidence," "chance," or "luck" invisible hands Dominate the world with paths we cross, Leaving no fluke for us to anticipate. The mundane miracles for our meetings: Our thoughts compelling us where to be; Our hearts united in synchronicity; Our minds meeting as we become happy. . . The ethereal coat destiny wove is ours; A gift that we share and can't discard: It's light and durable and fits us both, Protecting our collective bonds. 1 Share this post Link to post
Kokoro Hane Posted June 22, 2022 A poetry thread! I love poetry and have been writing some since I was a pre-teen, and still love to write some now and then. This is one I wrote back in 2020 for NaPoWriMo..... Raindrop Dance Water falls from the sky Gently soaking the ground The edges drip at their tips Raindrops dance upon its grip All the clouds silently burst Into a brilliant rainfall Are they tears? And if they are Is it joy or sorrow fall? A beautiful array Of raindrops Tap, tap, tap as they fall A cleansing smell wafts through the air A precious cold bites the skin Hear the sky's soft melody Lulling you into peaceful sleep Gently it falls Amongst a dull lighting of grey And muted hue of blue Let the dance of the raindrops And ballad of the sky Wash away all your tears A fluffy cloud's lullaby 1 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted July 5, 2022 Stardust Memory =========== Before I leave you behind to a new day, Let us gaze upwards at this starry night; Let us claim a star to remember this evening: While we still share each other's company; While we still have only this existing moment. . , Here we gathered, making magic out of the mundane: Stardust came from our shared words; Power came from our hearts as we grew close; A barrier surrounded us as we drowned out the world. The light from above shined with a new moon: It became illuminated as we settled in here; It became clear we had no more words to say; Sensing each other's soul, we grew silent, Sensing in looks from our eyes what we felt. . . What we knew was going to fade backwards into time -- That sacred exchange would remain in our hearts; An epiphany to act before we part, For this time would not again appear for us. . . Before us now, it all exists as memories. As surely as youth begins to fade away; As certain as the old meet their final day; These memories can live for eternity: Within us, they can remain perpetually. 0 Share this post Link to post
BanjoDave Posted July 5, 2022 I usually never share my poetry but hell here's one I did last month. There are caves that hide within caves, within a great desert, a dry and bitter place, in which all things die. There is a sea of a different kind, with a sea of its own, its waters turbid and bloody, in which all is silent. There is a desiccated cove, where we hid from the tide’s glee. 0 Share this post Link to post

Keep along by my side; Keep your steps tuned with mine As we position ourselves just fine. . . Silent tune guides our moves; Wordless song fills our shoes; We're feeling in the groove: We're feeling there's more to prove. . . Can't stop dancing this night -- Fill it up: Feel the rhythm Synchronize our bodies. Can't stop dancing this night -- Fill it up. . . 0 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) My Name Is. . . Your eyes can't see what's inside me. They only see what's in the light -- Flesh, blood, and bone, not my psyche - Beyond the exterior eludes your sight. My name is. . . Does the label match what is inside? Why do you want to know this -- Does a name give you insight? You hear my voice, but not all my thoughts. You remember what I say, but are we becoming close? The whole me is not easy to assess -- No matter how well you read me, you can't see my choice. I am. . . A persistent soul, holding on to reality I live by what I believe in -- Every decision someone else may or not see. My name is. . . Does not describe my inner contents. I am. . . A human, not hardware one can program! Edited September 27, 2022 by Reviver 0 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted October 8, 2022 Reluctant Love I don't know why, but I think about you; I can't explain why I wish us to become closer - You are my friend, a dear one at that; You never betray and I enjoy our chatting. . . True love, you and I share, Though we utter not that "l" word. In actions and in feelings we are in a tight bond: Our minds have met and we know not regret. . . I talk to you just about any subject; You express your heart and I listen with respect. You lighten my burden and give ear to reason -- I almost feel I need you by my side each passing season. That feeling. . . Joy and tingling all over my being! Did I actually flirt with you. . . And you didn't reject my clue?! I don't entirely want what I'm experiencing. . . Simplicity with our relationship is disappearing! Are you meant to be my side until the end Or is this just a phase in passing attraction? 1 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted October 25, 2022 THE LOVE WE CAN'T SPEAK OF. . . My dear friend, may we see a happy ending; True love and respect are intensifying -- No matter what may be happening, I want you to be by my side. . . When the world presents us opportunities To find each other infinitely, looping circumstances -- Looping fate to guide our mundane meetings, I want to tell you what I feel inside: "You brighten each day the darkness prevails. I feel closer to you with the passing seasons. Beyond words, I love you with no stipulations. I know in you secrets I can confide. Life was simpler before I met you; These feelings complicate a simple clue -- It's a mystery of which feelings to pursue. From you and I -- from within each other -- these feelings reside. . ." The woman who I grew to love; The woman whose company I get can't enough of -- This woman and I can only grow closer; One day, I'll confess it all, throwing away dignity and pride. 1 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted November 6, 2022 The Eyes of the Storm The winds of revolution are near; The debris of rebellion is the air Upsetting conformity, it is clear To see into the eyes of the storm. The whirlwind is invincible; The gusts blow about and tremble Complacency and split into middle To bring focus to the eyes of the storm. I see you change before my sight; I believe you know what is right As you wait for the light To appear in the eyes of the storm. It's not simple to explain; It's not easy to remain The self that resists the rain To witness from the eyes of the storm. As the world regains its composure; As the winds of revolution meet closure As if a pillaging led by a soldier -- To stare down the eyes of the storm. 1 Share this post Link to post
Reviver Posted November 17, 2022 Unified Tenacity Step into reality with me; Awake from your dream. . . You and I can sense our souls -- A special bond that is profound. The real world is surrounding us -- Keep our determinations and resolves. Whether it a fluke or destiny, I am grateful you met me. It's not so scary, is it? -- This bond that eternally lingers. In this life, we carry a burden -- Within this concept of being "smitten." "Why" is not answered during this time Slipping through our fingers; it lingers As a feeling undefined; it is sublime -- "Love" is but a simple label. Lift with me that invisible weight; Shift with me your undying admiration; If you feel as if you are falling, Have faith in me to provide salvation. . . What we feel may bring hesitation; It may make awkward our interaction. After the initial infatuation We can share a mutual maturation. Together, we live a dream in reality Forever bringing together unified tenacity. 0 Share this post Link to post

Reviver Posted December 17, 2022 Break The Bond of The Spell! Restless in spirit, it is all due to you; Breathless moments continue -- I've tried deep feelings to undo: No reversing time -- what to do? Break the bond of the spell! Make me free of the dark dry well; Wake me from this cold and wet jail; Forsake the contract I made with you. . . It seemed a dream, alluring with your name: Fit for the ideal, I to you came; I've not known such charm in a single frame: Ever since getting closer to you, nothing's the same. . . Break the bond of the spell! Within my soul for you I fell; Recalling that sweet smell Of beautiful silky shiny hair. . . One touch is addictive -- Of your company I grew appreciative, For well done your ways in being seductive; The magic of love is not fair. . . Break the bond of the spell! I'm trapped in a splendid cell; Feelings and thoughts for you swell -- I want to stop obsessing over you. . . Break the bond of the spell! Make me free from this personal Hell. Revert in me what is ethereal; Forsake what we have and undo our deal. . . Break the bond of the spell! 0 Share this post Link to post

Reviver Posted December 28, 2022 Finite Time As humans, we were born into an indifferent world. As a person, we each matured, as a man and woman. The days and nights became countless -- Was it just yesterday it all seemed to progress? Aging towards a promised demise, Our youth is fading before eyes. One of these days we'll accept the reality That all we have left is a shared memory. Before we can imagine what could be Before any love becomes a possibility. . . In the finite time we have to live, Be honest and be brave with what we give To each other that comes from the heart; One day, we may have to ways part. Relaying our feelings in a single act; Saying our love and binding into a pact; This way of life can be what we pursue, If you truly love me and if I truly love you. Not every moment will be a fantasy; Not every interaction will fill us with glee. . . But if you will endure the good times with the bad, We can protect our love during times happy and sad. Today is almost done: Stay with me -- don't run Away because your heart is changing; Stay with me as our feelings start re-arranging. If we let today slip away into tomorrow, The time we have left to borrow May be taken from us entirely, And leave us only wondering what could be. 0 Share this post Link to post
Antkibo Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) What is that under time and how it got there? If you love deeply then that is your music (No wonder it brings happiness out of men and women and children find it quite mystic). How can something so pure and dandy and fine rot like bad meat, like the unforgiven wine? Beware, for Aztec gold doesn't rust but corrupts And love and music die like the setting sun. 1 Share this post Link to post
KeaganDunn Posted December 29, 2022 I had no idea this thread existed...I've always had an affinity for writing poems and song lyrics. I suppose I can share the short poems I've written that accompany a MIDI EP I wrote. See if you can figure out the general theme and message. https://keagandunn.bandcamp.com/album/lonesome-ep 1. FOR ALL HE KNOWS They're here, and they're bringing me back Giving me space into a realm of pain My heart and this world are painted black The colors of love washed away by the rain With nothing but regression shattering my heart I began to recall why she would part 2. OF WHAT SHE REMEMBERS I remember him, and how he held me close Looking for the warmth in his life of strain My endearments were desperate and I knew his pain Blossoming love from the darkest of shadows Years behind on finding someone, I would ask For him to be mine, open up, and remove the mask 3. THE INTERNAL STORM In the deepest reaches of my mind Masked off from the sight of a stranger They torture me and I can't push them aside Provoking me with delusions of grandeur And when she saw that I was burning She chose a path of no returning 4. SMOTHERING THE LIGHT Seeing the sight of him troubled by his demons Encouraged me to embark on a selfless mission Comforting and reminding him how much I cared But little did I know of what would be spared Being nothing but his dump, while needing one too With everything he said turning me blue 5. THE CREVICE OF NOISE She was the one for me, the outlet I needed To speak of my feelings and what haunted me Her warm embrace gave color to my life Wherever she was, she made me feel alive But damaged in me was my social problem To understand when to cease the trauma 6. QUARRY TURNED ENEMY "It soon became a burden, dark and days old Making the decision to leave him alone Riddled with guilt from leaving behind The man of my dreams with a troubled mind With fondness I remember the aid I had done [REDACTED] 1 Share this post Link to post
