I have been feeling sick, so here's something for my rabid fans so they stop harping on me. :P I don't particularly like this poem...dunno why, it just doesn't seem to flow right. Tell me what you think.

Renwen


The rustle is soft
Yet it echoes in the darkness
I hold out my hand
Knowing you will save me

Each passsing moment
Each endless day
I know that I can trust you
I know that you will save me

My darkest hour arrives
Again, I hold out my hand
You do not save me
I am falling

Slowly
As if dreaming
I see your face
Your eyes look sad
Then harden like flint

You walk away
Cold and unforgiving
I cry out
Praying to see you turn and rescue me
You laugh
Cold and piercing
I sob
I look into your eyes

Then
As the darkness comes over me
You reach out your hand to save me

Another attempt at haiku...

Sweat beads on the brow
Crimson washes down His skin
Food for all the world

Cycle of Destruction

A good, slightly dark poem.

Renwen


Over and over again
The same offense
You have forgiven me once
And forgiven me twice

This cycle keeps going
I don't know how to stop
I wish I had the courage
I wish I had the lack of pride

Again, I offend
Again, I feel your forgiveness
Again and again
This endless cycle of destruction

I slowly fall deeper
The offense takes over me
Once more
I bow down before you
I ask forgiveness
Hoping it will be granted
Hoping to feel it wash over me

Tentatively
I ask
I close my eyes
I feel the guilt come over me
I ask again
And again I close my eyes
I feel your forgiveness wash over me
I am whole again

Until
Once more
The evil power slips over me
And I become trapped in its seductive trance

Here's my first experimentation with haiku. I do enjoy writing in this style...very challenging.

Renwen



Gold, silver, brown, red
Cascading through the air
Resting on the ground


Gently falling down
Flakes blanket the barren ground
Mingling with their kind

Since I do not have a good, long poem to post...here's a little fluff to keep you occupied. :P

Renwen


Eyes locked on the horizon
Heart tossed upon the sea
Mind blown out to the ship

Light shines across the water
A shadow is illuminated
A flag ruffles in the wind

Her love has returned home

Here is the poem that was originally gonna be posted tonight. This was inspired by a running story in an SAT writing class.

Renwen


It starts with a white canvas
Black, blue, purple
A streak of red
The painting has now begun

Crimson first slips down the side
Then spreads to encompass all
Slowly the canvas falls to the floor

Oh God
What have I done?

Eyes glazed in the glare of death
Arms outstretched
A whispered plea
Met with another streak

Slowly the canvas relaxes
The artist cleans her brush
Ready for the next canvas to appear

Ok, this one I wrote last night, right before I went to bed. I had been reading a topic on a message board about abortion, and this came to me(literally) like a bolt of lightning. It's not really editted, and it's really short. Hope you enjoy!

Mommy...
Why do you let this hurt me?
Mommy...
Make it stop!
Mommy...
What did I do?
Mommy...
Aren't you supposed to protect me?

Mommy....

Don't you love me?

Hey everyone,
I decided to post one of my lighterish poems, then get into my dark stuff later. Cheers!

Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

Holding fast
I see the Light
It disappears
Then shines through again

Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

Others look
But do not see
Still others seek
But do not find

Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

One lost soul
Not looking for the Light
Stumbles upon it in the darkness

Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

Blinded first
Aghast the next
The soul recoils
Tries to flee

Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

Like a moth to the flame
Its human cage draws near
The soul desists
Bringing victory near

Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

Slipping through the fog
A stark appendage flashes
Slowly it grasps the gentle whiteness

The Light brings the soul to light
Streaming gently through the breeze
Wafting like a sweet perfume
Falling slowly through the haze

Hey everyone! I decided to get a blog to have a place to put a bunch of poems. I will post some of my own stuff, along with other poems that some friends have written(so long as I have permission from them). Hopefully, I'll post one poem a week. I will start posting said poems within the coming week. :-)
