Well, I never thought I'd see myself in this part of the Art & Writing forums, yet here I am. I have some poems I've written, not necessarily out of experience, just some thoughts I've had. I'm a bit doubtful of my poetic ability, compared to some of the other poets here, yet here I am, in a leap of faith. Constructive critisism welcome.





Found

Seas of blue
Wisps of indigo
Swirl and mix
And sparkle with life

All my dreams
All my ambitions
Forgotten in a moment
An eternal moment

Thoughts are needless
Time is meaningless
Alas my mind is lost
Yet my heart is found

Hearing your voice
Caressing your hair
Tasting your lips
Indulging in your warmth

Imprisoned...
Incarcerated...
Forgotten...
Forsaken...

Lost forever
In your sapphire eyes

Till my life is spent
Death I do not fear
For in your love
Myself I have found





The End

Lost in the cold and madness
Enveloped in a mist of darkness
Forsaken in the chains of anonymity
Captive in a world of fear and misery

The time has drawn near
A sweet misery numbs my mind
My soul lies in blissful content
Yet I feel I'm fading away

The beauty of the world enthralls me
Giving me one last strand of hope
Inspiring my empty heart
Warming my frozen emotions

Broken kingdom of dreams
Shattered illusions of peace
Crushed hopes of understanding
Endless void of confrontation

I wish I had
I wish I felt
I wish I had lived
I wish I had learned

What more is there for me
Existance waning
Brink of life approaching
End of the road

May you have joy
May you find peace
But now I must depart
So I beg you adieu






Hell

Heading for the jungle
Don't forget your knife
No doubt you'll need
To cut with the blade

Shear your world in half
Keep your friends on one side
And your enemies on the other
Hypocrisy always was
The best policy

Run, run like hell
No time to waste
No moment to savour
And you might just
Reach work in time

There goes another day
Reaching home
Spirits exhausted
Only desire is sleep

Kids are shouting
Happy to see you
Wish you could feel them
They seem so far off

Wife gives you a hug
A warm kiss on the lips
Wish you could feel her
But you're just numb

Wearied bones
Twisted wills
Nohing earned except
One more sleepless night
