Random Poems

These are a few random poems I wrote a long time ago. They were written on a whim. Feel free to critique and/or comment.

Alone
You hide behind a facade of indifference
Your face is shadowed, though not by darkness
You lay beneath your blanket of lies
A shield to protect you from Truth's cunning edge
You belittled everyone you have ever known
And you wonder why you now dwell alone
You are deemed nothing more then a pariah in this unfeeling generation
Life does not leave room for alteration
You have chosen your fate
And in it you must lie
It is now that you realize, you're not even alive

Stone Cold
A sweet innocent child
So young and pure
Your features alight with joyful enthusiasm
That was so many years ago
What happened to the loving person I knew
Your eyes have hardened
Your features stone cold
Though you're young
It seems you've grown old
There is a battle raging between us
But you will not put down your sword
I've already surrendered
I thought there was hope
But I was mistaken
You lost your heart
You have turned to stone

Those are some very dark concepts. They astound me.

Do post some more that way I can appreciate your writing even more.

may I admit that I am a poet myself and it takes great work to impress me... and can i also say that I am more that just impressed. You are very gifted.

nice poems....you have some more?

Oh wow..I didn't think anyone would even comment. Thanks guys. I'll try to post a few more....

They are nice but my only suggestion is to divide them into verses. Otherwise it's a little bland to read.

Yeah..I have a tendancy to type it all in one clump. It's a habit

The shimmering dust from the faeries' wings
Settling like snow in an ancient grove
Collecting in the birch leaves as they descend
While the Elves and Dryads dance below

Withered ruins and firefly lights
Ivy leaves grow on the trunks of trees
The sliver sound of the harpist’s harp
While the Elves and Dryads dance below

The ethereal light of the full moon waning
Reflected in the dewy grass
The howling of a nearby wolf
Carried through the forest by the Tree Spirit's voice
As the Elves and the Dryads dance below

Many a moon has rose and set
Since that obscure night long, long ago
When I witnessed the woodland creatures dance
Once upon a lifetime ago

Their arrival I longed to see once again
But, their existence faded into the pages of a forgotten tale
The ruins crumbled and rejoined the earth
And the trees have long since met their maker

Even though my youth has left me
And my life possibly nearing an end
Forever etched into my mind, the memory has never died

But every now and then
When I enter the forest depths at night
The ghostly sound of the harpist’s harp
Can be heard playing once again

Something else I found amidst my hard drive


--------------
The room is bright
But your eyes are blinded

A haunting melody slowly plays around you
But yet, its music is deaf on your ears

The thorns from the rose bush tear at your skin
But all you feel is the wetness from the blood

Your mouth opens, and you attempt to form words
But they leave your lips broken

Unspoken

The light shines brightly at the end of the journey
You lack the vision to see it.

All the knowledge of the world is whispered in your ear
You lack the hearing to discern the words

A sharp blade slowly slides across your flesh
Yet you feel nothing but indifference
