woi, another

In The Dark
by Kishan Solomon


I lay in silence,
in a cloak of shadows,
above is the true sky,
I see nothing but I feel it all.

I feel a presence,
coming closer,
It's  looking for shelter,
I'm ready to give it,
I stand still,
I stand silent.

It does not see me,
It comes closer,
I see it,
Hello Grasshopper,
I've been waiting.

I watch it's eyes,
Staring at it's body,
at where the rest is,
Watch th eyes of the predator,
Look into my eyes,
I feel no remorse.

It has been done,
The darkness grows,
I feel another presence,
This night shall be special,
My guest moves fast,
I am blind,
I must stand still,
I hear a silent hiss,
I see a forked tongue.

The great fangs,
I see it clear,
It raises it's head,
It spreads a hood of scales,
Towering above,
He lets out a slow hiss,
and spits out a black feather,
I watch his eyes,
I watch the eyes of the predator,
He feels no remorse,
With patience I waited,
In peace I stood,
With focus I stroke,
In darkness I lay,
I was The Mantis.

nah, i on a roll, no stopping now

Face the Fear
by Kishan Solomon

I see you sail,
Through your sea of troubles,
You look to face me,
Without a face?
You think to fool me,
with your disguise,
Don't be stupid,
You seek your demise.
I'm..not..there.
I'm..not..there.

You got to the sky,
And far above,
You look at space,
The hollow beyond,
The endless emptiness,
Your Great Void,
You look around,
It's all too much,
while nothing at all,
You go back down.
I'm..not..there.
I'm..not..there.

You trip and fall,
Moving in darkness,
Through the labyrinth's hall,
Remembering the past,
The unchosen path,
Your long struggle finished,
You must start again,
But now the way is clear,
It was in vain.
I'm..not..there.
I'm..not..there.

You enter the core,
You can see it all,
Your search for more,
Your troubled sea,
Your Great Vacuum,
I..am..here.
I..am..here.
You turn to face me,
You see the truth,
You break the mask,
I give a salute,
Welcome to the lair,
I..am..Fear.
Face...the Fear.
I..am...here.

Forgotten Worlds
by Kishan Solomon


I see the gulls fly,
I see the roaring sea ,
below the mist so high,
Just me and my boat,
and the pirate's of the key.
The battle fierce,
Like cowards they flee.
Where am I?
The Forgotten Sea

Spin the world,
Flash the past,
I don't know,
Just make it fast,

Along the mountain peek,
I hear the eagles call,
I hear the whispering wind,
As silent as the ninjas fall,
I hear them face me,
Air filled with sin,
I hear them all,
like thugs in an alley,
Where am I?
The Forgotten Valley

Spin the world,
Flash the past,
I don't know,
Just make it fast,

I feel the thorns so sharp,
I feel their presence,
I run through the trees,
I feel the mist,
I feel the air and leaves.
I feel the cobra's kiss,
Where am I?
The Forgotten Forrest.

Spin the world,
Flash the past,
I don't know,
Just make it fast,

In the Shadows of the past,
Lay the beast of Retrospect.

In Death

 

In death they walk among us,

Hiding in the shadows,

Never far behind.

In death they feed upon us,

Coming from the shadows,

To take their victim's blood.

In death they live among us,

Inside abandoned houses,

Sleeping all the day.

In death they dance among us,

Laughing and joking,

At our short, pathetic lives.

In death they fly above us,

High up in the sky,

Freer than we'll ever know.

In death they come to take us,

And take away our hope,

To join their existence.

In death we are alone.

The Girl

 

With holes in her shoes,

She walks down the street.

No one notices her,

No one cares.

Dirt covers her face,

And her tattered clothes,

Yet no one notices.

Until one day,

She stops in front of a store.

Gun in hand, she walks in,

And kills four people

For one single reason:

They tried to take her doll...                    

[Aka_Neo]

if yall eh wha put love poems i will.....

O my luve's like a red, red rose.
That's newly sprung in June;
O my luve's like a melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will love thee still, my Dear,
Till a'the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my Dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
I will luve thee still, my Dear,
While the sands o'life shall run.

And fare thee weel my only Luve!
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it were ten thousand mile!                    

[Aka_Neo]

wow! hears another one

If I closed my eyes
Would you remember the color?
And if I cut my hair
Would you remember the length?
If I changed my voice
Would you remember the first?
And if I disappeared
Would you remember everything?
If I started crying
Would you remember my smile?
And if I stopped loving you
Would you remember my style?

If you closed your eyes
I'd remember they're blue
And if you cut your hair
I'd remember the curls.
And if you changed your voice
I'd remember the sweet sound.
And if you disappeared
I'd remember everything.
If you started crying
I'd remember your smile.
And if you stopped loving me
I'd lose everything.                    

[Aka_Neo]

I feel the pain.
I taste the sorrow as the tears slowly kiss my lips.
A Distant memory in my mind that never seems to fade away.
 
her touch lingers,
fingertips slowly caressing my being,
her breath upon my neck,
whispers echoing throughout myself,

Desolate, abandoned,
left alone in a world so cold without her hand to hold
and guide me through the darkness,
her arms to embrace my trembling body,
her lips to kiss away the worries
that plague me every day of my life.

A part of me,
she makes me whole, she satisfies my desires
and loves me without conditions.

On I live, anticipating her return,
and when she does she will hold me
and will no longer be a distant memory.
I will hear her voice and then all will be well.

Till then
this torn soul dwells on and on with only those distant memories
of her to give me the strength to breathe again

haiku poem by meeee!!

green leaf is brown now,
floating gently to the ground,
fading memories.
 
for all of u who don't know what haiku is and want to know what the hell it is i just write...haiku is NOT suppossed to rhyme and it suppossed to have only 17 syllables...5/7/5.                    

[Setsuko]

i guess that's why i love it so much... short, sweet and to the point                    

[Imperial_X]

A slash in moonlight,
Flows like harvest rain,
A warrior's dream.

Not the best haiku I've ever written, but I kinda like this one.                    

[Polios]

here's one of my recent ones, on a tone i don't normally use. Hopefulness, yikes


The Pawn-played Bishop
by Kishan Solomon

I have seen light,
It was taken away,
Given and removed again,
Taunting me,
I am the cat,
I want my string.

I see history repeat itself,
I die in the past,
I live in the future,
The shadows surround me,
At least I lasted long,
Before I stumbled.

The Shadow-knife strikes,
I can see it,
Coming again,
A fimiliar pain,
Now I know I can't control it,
I watch forward,
The black beast of retrospect,
It pounces once more,
Double deja vu.

This time is not the same,
The sea of fate,
It will not sweep you away,
For I know the truth,
I can control the winds,
I can move the sails,
I'll turn the tides.

For once,
I will not give in,
Not to destiny,
I am no pawn,
I am a bishop,
One that can see,
Passed the castle,
I am not indispensable,
I know that now.

I pick up the Shadow-knife,
I will take the pain,
For I am not alone,
Burned hands,
A small price to pay for something so fair.

No more running,
No more searching,
I have found what I want,
Leave it be,

It's not that easy,
Therefore I fight,
I don't need serenity,
I can change this,
I have my courage,
I know the difference,
No attack can I feel,
My wounds are numb,
So I'm ready,
Have at me.

Footsteps in the Dark


I step along the alleyways of my city,
One foot in front of the other,
A cat prowling the night.
Only I'm not looking for a mouse to placate
My insatiable hunger.
The thrill of the chase seeps into my
Old, old bones.
I feel young again,
Almost as young as I appear.
I feel alive again.

I stop, frozen in time
As a young woman, a girl, steps near my alley.
I see her young face in the glow of flame
As she stops and lights a cigarette.
No 3-on-1-match tonight,
But unlucky for her nonetheless.
She glances up, seeing nothing.
Am I really here?
I step into the pool of light
Under the streetlamp.
She turns to look at me,
With a smile.

I return the smile,
With a charm she can't resist,
An offer she can't refuse,
A snake in the grass seducing the mouse.
Like the snake I coil myself around her,
Drag her back into the dark,
Sink my fangs into her tender throat,
And feed.

The visions come fast and warm with the blood
Feeding my mind, my tattered soul,
While giving life to my unliving limbs.
I see her life, as she must have been,
Before I came to snatch her from her cradle.
I see my life, as it must have been,
Before another came to snatch me from my grave.

My repast done, I lift off.
Tattered cloak like wings,
Soaring high over my city,
My night.

The Scars of Icarus

The scars of Icarus haunt mankind.
The memories of the flight, the fall
Echo through our collective mind
To hold us, keep us from standing tall.
No use for us to reach for stars,
Scattered 'cross the ebon night,
When all our fingers snatch are scars,
From coming too near out life-dream's light.
Yet men without dreams are simply clay.
'Tis not in our natures to never try.
E'en after the fall, we greet the day,
With arms and wings outstretched to fly.
To rise again, and overcome strife
Is more than attaining dreams - 'Tis life.                    

[Setsuko]
